00:00
Alright y'all, we are here with NLE Choppa.
00:02
NLE Choppa, you just took the stage.
00:03
Tell me how you prepared for this performance.
00:06
- Man, honestly, it wasn't no preparation.
00:09
It was a lot of prayer into it, just saying thank you.
00:12
I feel like that was the preparation.
00:13
Beautiful moment, got to perform with Nelly.
00:16
It's a beautiful thing.
00:18
- Speaking of Nelly, you tributed him in your
00:20
It's Gettin' Hot In Here music video,
00:22
and you did a tribute to Tupac recently as well.
00:26
So I wanna talk a little bit about how important it is
00:28
for you to really champion those greats that came before you,
00:31
especially in light of the 50th anniversary of hip hop.
00:33
- Yeah, just showing who, you know what I'm saying,
00:35
who inspired me.
00:37
I feel like all this does matter.
00:38
You know, we get in a point, a lot of us as creators,
00:42
we get to a point to where we kind of forget,
00:44
you know what I'm saying, what influenced us
00:45
to be in this position.
00:47
I just never forgot though, so, you know.
00:50
- And we can tell you never forgot.
00:51
We can tell you never forgot.
00:53
And what from the 2000s needed to make your music video
00:56
for It's Gettin' Hot?
00:57
What did you know you had to put in there?
01:00
- Big ass clothes.
01:01
Big ass clothes.
01:04
- What was it like on set getting to just feel that energy?
01:07
'Cause it was, it gave me flashbacks
01:09
from like 106 and Park, B and C, like really.
01:12
- Man, it was just simply just really setting up the setting
01:16
to make it look like it.
01:18
And then after that was history.
01:19
I know I was gonna do my part,
01:20
but we just had to make it look like it,
01:21
you know what I'm saying,
01:22
look like what it was back then.
01:24
We did that.
01:25
- You absolutely did.
01:26
I can't wait to watch this performance with Nelly.
01:28
I know it was crazy.
01:29
- It's gonna be lit.
01:30
- Enjoy the rest of the show.
01:31
And thank you so much.
01:33
- Thank you so much as well.
