- Опубліковано 10 лип 2019
- On the Thursday, June 11th, episode of #EverydayStruggle, Nadeska, Wayno and DJ Akademiks are joined by Louisiana rapper Kevin Gates. Gates discusses his upcoming album ‘I’m Him’ and the pressures he’s dealt with trying to create the project. Later in the show, he reveals why didn’t sign to the Cash Money Records and says he learned a lot from Birdman’s savvy business ways during his time with the music mogul. Gates also discusses his past issues, including his struggles with depression and spending time in prison, and how he's found peace with the help of his family and wife. Plus he talks about his friendship with YoungBoy Never Broke Again and discusses some of the criticism he's dealt with publicly before hugging it out with Akademiks.

Kevin is so real bruh. It's like a therapy session. Like when he said that he feel inadequate around people who seem to have it together and happy. I felt that 10 times over.
Yes was so real I feel that!!!!! Deep!
kevin too real and deep for these internet bloggers
“I’m a great friend, but I’m not friendly” damn I felt that lol
Nobody else think this niga acting gay or I’m tripin
@@c7anders yeah for sure, sounds like a little goody two shoes
@@c7anders It's called acting flamboyant, you can be that and still like women. But only he knows for sure what he is... we can only make guesses.

That prayer was dope,But no rapper prays better than DMX 😂😂
This comment is too. 🔥
HG But a prayer is still a prayer lol
That prayer in Arabic came from the prophet Muhammad via the angel Jibreel who got it verbatim from God himself. Dmx is cool but I think that’s much more impressive
No1 screams Nooo! better DMX either
Derron Reed facts 😂
Not many black celebrities endorsing “self-accountability”. So much respect to Kevin Gates for owning up to his actions like a man.
Young In heard Freddie Gibbs say the same thing last week on Pull Up! I loved this
@Joshua Merwine yes he is
Not many white or any other race is doing it neither stop tryna tear down the black community
@Joshua Merwine his dad is fully African American
@Joshua Merwine allota different races dont take accountability and I'm just speaking facts

He's talking soft to be disarming. He doesn't feel the need to be gangsta in a interview. Don't be fooled by the wolf in the sheeps clothing. He knows what he's doing 💯
The first person I see to understand holy shit I appreciate you lol motherfuckers are stupid..hes chilling at peace no need to be hostile and apply pressure cause he cool
@@csabbdt you smart my brothers
That's a fact. Psychological warfare.
💯
Those who get it get those who dont dont. This esoteric knowledge
The BIG GENERAL has spoken. I like how GATES straight schooled the interviewer about his skin in a way where he wasn’t gettin on him.
NuNu Poche it wasnt correct but if you sounds like you know what youre talking about then people are going to believe you, regardless if its correct or not.
miguel ruiz IT was correct... it was.
this guy is so intelligent and real. man I hope this inspires people

I literally spit out my drink out my nose when i read this

I got full vibes of his humbleness, Politeness and Genuine Maturity in his interview...
*Cool*
“You can trick your mind, but you can’t trick your heart.” ❤️
Jay Z: “men lie, women lie, numbers don’t lie.”
Kevin: “numbers can be manipulated”
🤧🤧
Game changer 💪🏽
manderp reality can be manipulated
Numbers are manipulated when you let another man do the counting but numbers don’t like when you add it and subtract it for yourself
Marc John what if I’m giving you the wrong numbers to add and subtract what if those are not the real numbers what if they are inflated when given to you🤷🏾♂️
Dee Wright reading is fundamental
As a Gates fan who has watched multiple interviews of him, you can definitely tell he's in a good place. He's never this open. Good to see.
ATLien Everybody hating and picking shit out about him though 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I didn’t get to watch it yet I’m waiting til I get home
ATLien 💯👍🏽
No cap iss the first thing i thought. He is in good shape, good place and is, as Ak said, "glowing". He reminds me of the Islah time Gates

She thought she was gonna get horse kicked 😂😂
Zee Man this comment is funny asf😂😂
She don't need to enterver this man know more
Something about Kevin gates is so intriguing to me he has such confidence
prolly cause he rich 🤷 i mean if i was a bitch that's what i would want
Starting off with the Fatiha is just amazing mash’allah
God bless the brother
What's that
NoLoN's Lyrics Islamic prayer he made in the beginning ☮️
He need to write a book 🤝💯
Ant410 I sweatagahhhd
I would def read it✊🏽
He writes in lyrics; audible novellas
He has listen to any album
Indeed this man is a gineus
They had ZERO control over this interview 😂
I see kevin as someone who was mislead his while life by himself and he is now realizing alot of his faults while fight with himself over what parts of him are really him and which parts arnt really him. Mad respect for big man. He isnt perfect but he is aware and the worst thing you can be is ignorant and kevin defintly isnt that.
Evan Schulte well said
@@duttymoneybanks897 bruh you just basically said what I said but just the title and no explanation. You are obviously not very self aware
This is it. Going through this rn and I see it in kevin alot lately.
He Made Akademiks Look Silly Throughout The Whole Interview.
38:18
AK: I Think I Represent The Masses A Lil Bit
Kevin Gates: Yea, All The Haters.
True indeed AK is definitely a character
That’s a fact cuz the masses are haters and have a hater mentality 😂
I love how he ignores every question then come back and say, “I’m sorry you had the floor.” 😂😂😂
He the goat

One of the few rappers who’s interviews are actually interesting & thought provoking. Gates is worth listening to and digesting what he’s preaching.. he even makes Everyday Struggle(actually better than) bearable.
This right here is why gates is under estimated! His real on so many leaves music aside. He’s linguists skills and energy control is amazing 💕🥰
i don't understand how ak dresses so bad, so consistently. it's almost impressive.
I’m tryna be that nigga stylist Nd he ignoring me it’s his own fault
Because he’s a nerd who thinks he’s cool he’s not genuine.

😂😂😂 like a fucking Nickelodeon character
It really seems like Kevin is trolling. Everytime he breaks off in a smirk or smile he's trying not to break character 😂😂😂
duck etto 😂😂😂 yup. In & outta pocket...brazy
