Anderson .Paak on Being Homeless, Working as Weed Trimmer Before Dre
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Before his fame, Anderson .Paak was getting money working on a legal marijuana farm trimming freshly grown herbs. As the seasons changed and his job decided to downsize, all the extra cash had gone out the window and at 24, with his pregnant wife, he found himself homeless. "I lost the job as a trimmer, and so I had nowhere to go. Now, I had a family to support, but I didn't have shelter." He told DJ Vlad, "I was homeless, yea, I was staying from couch to couch." Fortunately for the musician, he got gigs in between, but he admits that his wife did ride him about getting the necessities, like a car since they were living in L.A.
Once his life stabilized, and he found himself back on his feet, he says he readjusted his lifestyle and changed his name in the process. "Once I got on my feet, I started simplifying my life and developed a routine, and that was a time I changed my name from Breezy Lovejoy to Anderson .Paak." He said. "I went into this whole process where I was going to simplify my life and build a routine and develop a healthy work ethic."
Damn why this nigga gotta know the exact location?
+Kenyan Ross Vlad is a fuckin FED!
***** shit Im really starting to think that man.
I thought so too. Some FED shit
yeah he's the worst.
And keeps saying Weed. Like so iut was Weed right? Of weed? Worst interview.
he's going to be legendary.
you was right
Yes lawd!
This comment aged well
Hellll yeahhh
Girl you were right!
Hi from the future. Yes, this dude has now reached legendary status. And it is glorious to see.
Legendary lol insane take. Good artist but he ain’t no legend
I respect the grind paak. Struggle breeds greatness
“That’s for sure, Cause I’m grinding now, and the “STRUGGLE IS REAAAALLLLL”!! LOL! 😂😅😳
Well said
i fucking love Malibu. one of the best albums I've heard this year
I felt like Come Down was the only good song, maybe just need to give it a couple more play-throughs...
Carry me is fire
Hell yea bro you gotta listen from start to finish. shit is fire
Yes Lawd - NxWorries, just released is even greater
The ENTIRE album is amazing
I love his songs. And as much as his songs I love his personality. I hope he will never be through financial struggle again because he is the cream of the crop. Real person, real musician.
so amazing that his wife supported him for so long. Such a great story
Zotz Crew Thats true Love and Loyalty, I guaranteed. you if she americanized and from america that she would of been left him but since she is foreign and not corrupt like american girls are, she stuck by him
@@jaylynpayne1 they were married and living in his sister's house. she was pregnant and they didn't even have a car but he was blowing money on clothes and food....wtf
@@alldayHK and talking abt getting high with bitches n shit 😂
Great interview. I wish people would talk more about the struggle of being successful . Every mile is a stepping stone. Whatever you choose to do, you have to believe in it like no one else does. The road to success is never an easy ride.
vlad : so at what point did you start selling crack??????
paak : no i never sold crack....
vlad : oh word oh ok thats wats up u kept it one hunned na mean ok so you never sold crack to work in the studio?
paak: i never sold crack
vlad : ok so its safe to say u sold crack at a young age ?
Vlad don't clean his fucking ears😂
Vlad is like an interrogator, he's trying to make him confess to shit he hasn't done lol
lmfao . Vlad: So you admit that you were the crack plug.
Paak: Never was the plug never sold crack.
when was this
vlad: where did you hide the weopan after you shot bankroll fresh?
paak: wait what the fuck.
vlad: are those your fingerprints on the glass of water or mine?
paak: uh, iont know what you are talking about can i leave?
vlad: (outside documenting paak foot print marks)*
paak: ok. im just gonna leave. this is gettin weird.
vlad: (writting a request for a warrant to local judge.)*
i met him when he was Breezy, dude is humble and dope af. great to see him blow up
"Being a single mom and supporting the husband..."
My guy Vlad can't speak lmao
Vlad the type to call the Feds on the farm
His wife isn't American...that totally explains why she stuck with him through tough times
I knew someone was gonna say this dumb ass shit
like, what does her nationality have anything to do with loyalty?
Asian women will stick with you through the thick and thin. Especially if she's Canadian
It's got everything to do with loyalty. Feminist ideas have rendered many American women incapable of real devotion and loyalty.....imo.
would love a source on this
Anderson Paak: "My wife was Pregnant at the time and I had no way of income
Vlad: "How old was the kid?"
Bitch do u fucking listen? Omg yo
Anthony G Lmfao
🤣😂🤣😂
I love how he gave his wife her just due. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
He got a real one. Good women behind strong men.
Look how far he’s come. Now he’s Bubblin’
Anderson paak will be legendary,and his music will be timeless
“I got a song with Snoop” .. and the rest is history. Legend
Dam Vlad, always giving the people the short end of the stick. I feel like interviewing him myself just to hear the rest of the interview......
lol
Look at him now 🔥 🥺
anderson paak has too much raw talent to be on a vlad interview smh..
I'm a simple man I see weed like video then go about my business
lmao
A. Paak cold af! Too nice for this generation!
Love this dude.. he has a beautiful creative spirit
he will be one the g.o.a.t.s he is more than an artist. watch his performances too. Magic.
Never heard of this guy till Bubblin... now I’m obsessed...Bubblin doesn’t even represent his full genius...😊😊
nothing like a day one chick
love paak. vlad is a vulture. unsubscribe this dude until he has some respect for the dudes he be interveiwing
I remember seeing paak with watsky in Minneapolis!!!!! Shit was epic and crazy as hell. Paak sick on the drums!!!!
He is such an inspiration.
Dude, it's clear from his response to your first question that he didn't wanna elaborate on the farm. Over the next few minutes, you see him go from smiling and happy to cornered and downbeat. Terrible people skills, interviewer. Terrible
So many musicians have a story of hitting rock bottom and then suddenly they get stardom. I guess because you have to be at rock bottom to be willing to do what you have to do behind closed doors to get that shot.
Orr you could actually just grind it out... 10 out of 100 soundcloud rappers are actually gonna get some buzz.
+AcethePhoenix How It Goes is actually dope, gonna give your mixtape a listen, tossed a follow your way too man I'm digging your shit.
***** hey man no problem bro dude! it's all love
check out our first music video
exactly
Glad dude made it out of the struggle of poverty.
Special Agent Vlad on the scene 👮
greatness in the making
"Money's no good unless you have people to spend it with". What about saving and investing my nigga?
The Emerald Owl I think he was talking about his mindset at the time
The Emerald Owl exactly yo. or atleast have something to show for like a car , house etc
The Emerald Owl "Moneys no good unless you Got family to pass it down to" would have been a better statement
This mans gonna be a legend
He is so Refreshingly Honest and Humble and A Great Musician x
Such an inspirational artist, creativity flows through this soul with such ease, amazing story bro!! Thanks for the awesome albums!!
His girl is a real one
Is this an interrogation?? this interviewer has a very short and confrontational tone. Not a great way to create a comfortable and conducive space for an interview.
haha just read the comments. seems like I'm not the only one who thinks this.
I love to see that a woman just there griding with her nigga
I wanna smoke a bowl with him and talk about life he seems like such a dope human being
Money no good unless you got people to share it with. THATS HIS KOREAN SIDE. WSUP MR. PAAK! I GOT YO BACK.
Yo man you are a great interviewer. Very respectful, engaging and layback. That's whats up.
This mans music is ridiculously good guys
Man I hate this new fucking UA-cam comment section
I been waiting on someone to say it! They really fucked it up!
THANK YOU! ME TOO.
bra the shit gay as fuck i want the old comment sections this shit bofalae
thought it was just me.
+Kevin Smith thank god i didnt update
most supportive wife ever
"I can't keep on losing you, over complications, WAIT! we was just hanging, can't seem to hold on to"
Shariqwa Witwicky thts my shit
Glad that he got his past struggles, truly a talented dude 🙌
Hey mate! Thanks for sharing the story! For the moment that means a lot!
I did not expect his voice to sound like this
anderson .paak look like he hunt street bats and sells his body for pickle juice
pickle juice yo? lmao
Mager Man 😂😂
HOWLINGGGGG
I'm dead!!! 😆😆😂😂
David Vujanic Vuj? what the fuck are you doing here? hahahahaha :-P
Vlad is like an police interrogator..!? wtf dawg you got em under the hot light
This is a great interview. Inspiring.
The place was called Maria Ygnacio farm collective in SB and it closed in 2013. They had the most reggiest bud in all of California
This guy is fuckin epic his sound is original and dope
Aw his voice ❤🌹
I knew I recognized him from somewhere. breezy Lovejoy on the hotbox with dumbfounded.
One week before I see him live 🙌🏿😭🙏🏿
whether you go through any kind of shit, you can still become something if it's ment to be. never give up.
Heard his genius ass album so I had to listen to one of his interviews.
He bet not never leave her you're not gonna find too many like that
😢
Damn, the come up is real!
VLAD...you need to listen to the person you interview. Not even 1 minute in and .Paak already had to repeat something he just said...it’s not the first time I’ve seen it either. Come on man...it’s disrespectful.
Vlad, you're really savoring this interview aren't you? Once a month three minutes?
Hes a multiple Grammy award winning artist now! You did it Anderson!
I feel like A.P. interviews are all the same. He kinda told this story a million times lol He's my guy tho!
I hope he drop more and claim the charts🎤 #Cosign #Chicago
Your voice soothes me
Vlad always sounds like an interrogator lol
Malibu was an amazing album
my boy Breezy Lovejoy blew up. P.Y.P.
Vlad I appreciate you for this video
love this guys music man you has classic in his chamber he d angelo biloa james brown in one guy
Damn this is so inspiring.
Amazing artist
Oh my god I didn't know this was breezy love joy!!!!
Please release full interview.
lol dude said "Santa Barbra"? he said "Yea". Santa Barbra is in So Cal. nice!!!!
This guy is such a inspiration!
Wow! Just like my story.
This was quite personal.
This interview gave my anxiety anxiety 😭.
crazy shit, respect
have some respect to the legend vlad
OMG, what a life!
Great fucking interview!
yoooo haley reinhart has an amazing voice tbh
Love Anderson but these questions were downright condescending. Why you gotta give Paak trouble for pursuing music? He obviously made the right moves in the end, or you wouldn't be there asking him these silly ass questions in the first place
Legend!
This explains some of the music video of The Season
vlad : oh ok word thats wats up i feel you ....ok so off the subject i was dropping off SLIM JESUS at school this morning and i finally heard his new album " 110 pounds OF PURE WHITE CHOCLATE " would u do a collab with him???
pakk : what?? say vlad do slim jesus stay with you dog???
vlad: .....uhhhh yea you see what had happend was....
2015 called... they want their jokes back.
Amon in case this touches on Ny thing you say. Jesus was not white but a very dark brown just like others From the Middle East. Also Anderson .Paak is not white but Korean mixed!
Man thats tough
Inspiring
This dude's the fuccin' FEDS
He changed the convo swiftly once it got on the topic of him being fired haha. Fired and laid off are two different things
This guy is so humble such sn inspiration....genius and legend!! But rhe interviewer is...OMG so bad!
Vlad got hired by the hip hop police his interviews are more interrogations Its getting annoying. Good story very un professional conducted.
