The fact 21 Savage was willing to ask what a word means in the middle of a convo that’s going to be seen my millions of people is a sign of humility so many people lack, can’t ever stop being willing to learn
21 was trying to fight back tears, you could hear it in his voice . Real talk, the convos about his dad triggered him deep and I'm glad Shannon was able to allow him to be vulnerable and guide him through the conversation from an elder's perspective and still allow him to feel through it. THIS is community and this is BEAUTIFUL. Big up Shannon and 21 Savage.
Exactly that’s why I didn’t get when people was clowning him for not speaking straight in this interview, the brotha is clearly speaking and remembering his trauma
Never really paid much attention to his music, but his upbringing is almost like mine. I can definitely relate to his struggle, I've heard some of his hits, nd I'm beginning to respect him a lot more.
I'm a truck driver and I listened to this for my 2 hour trip. And when I got to my destination I got assigned door 21 on the east side docks lol. Much respect to his success and how he carries himself 🫡💪🏾
It's really nice when the host doesn't over talk or constantly cut off their guests... u actually give them time to talk...excellent job.. that is very major ...
@shawnsmiley5830 MAJOR !!! So, tired of host Over Talking there guest. Thank you Shannon Sharpe for not being a darn out of control, JOURNALIST....we need the Real 2 Touch da Real...and you have created this sacred space for comfortable conversations. Salute.
As a professional clinician, this is one of the best interviews I’ve seen. a lot of healing, therapeutic approaches, and vulnerability going on. big shout out to the two of you for capturing this and putting it out to THE WORLD
Well Stated! Well Stated! I wish this interview would get even half of the views the Katt Williams interview got. I think this is SO PURE and as aforementiond by you therapeutic for so many that the words are embedded within.
Shannon you are the best interviewer in the game right now. You made 21, who is generally extremely reserved, open up completely & be vulnerable. Amazing work.
Why do I like 21 Savage all of a sudden? This interview was great, and helps old people like me understand this guy. Shay Shay out here taking over the urban interview game, he lets his guest finish their thoughts unlike Vlad and he’s not arguing with them constantly.
He woulda never made it to this level if he opened up earlier on . A British little boy, don’t eat pork and traveled back to London on family trips. None of this is savage lol
I am so new to Shannon's interviews. Compared to other interviewers, he's really good. He asks relevant questions, he doesn't interrupt his guests, has a good sense of humor, not condescending - he's great.🥰
exactly..im so tired of the vlad monopoly, who has really became the interview, he talks more than the the person being interviewed at this point..shannon is doing it the old school way..let the guest tell their story
@@ljgil850 I agree. Vlad talks too much, sometimes more than his guests. If Vlad wants so much attention, he should at least show his face like Shannon does.
I think 21 has blocked so much trauma out that he can’t remember it. It shows based off his responses. God bless that man that he has love and healing from it all
I hope 21 has a good therapist to work through all of his trauma. This definitely was a safe space to share and it takes a lot of courage to share something painful to millions of people.
I commend him. You could hear the sadness in his voice during parts where he talked about the people he cares about who died. I respect him for being so vulnerable l.
After this interview, 21 Savage should absolutely make a movie about his life. Just because he’s not sitting up there like a shiny puppet does not mean his story does not resonate with people. Im more interested than ever to learn about 21 Savage. Thank Unc, another great interview.
I really like the way Shannon interviews. His interviews are almost like a therapy session. He gives people space to TALK vs him as the host doing all the talking. He actually listens to his guest and doesn’t interrupt them while they’re speaking. Clearly he’s a natural because it seems like people really feel comfortable opening up to him. Kudos!!!🎉👏🏽
I wanna hug 21 savage, just a big sincere aunty hug for all he’s had to endure. He’s loss so many friends and family in his life, so many funerals, and he still finds a way to keep living and striving to do what he loves to do and showing up for his kid. He has lots of wisdom for someone so young because he’s faced so many challenges. Much love to him and his fam.
The way my heart felt about the interview was, an uncle speaking to his now,adult nephew, Shannon really gave him,valued life lessons, education, relationships advice, a different outlook on life from past unaddressed trauma. ....UNCLE SHAY!
I really empathize with 21. He’s literally the definition of achieving “The American Dream”. Migrated to this country and experienced all the hardship you can think of and persevered. Wishing nothing but success for Savage💯
Shannon is a gifted conversationalist, I've been a 21 Savage fan since 2016 and this is the most transparent I've seen him be. Shout out to Club Shay Shay!
I've never seen 21 Savage in an interview like this. He explained the real-life issues and trauma that he's experienced in his life. Excellent interview by Shannon Sharpe as usual. Please continue to do what you doing, Unc Shannon Sharpe. Love the show and all that you are doing 💯💪🏿
Shannon u bigger than you realize boss. You a whole professional unlicensed therapist out here lol. I truly believe this was therapeutic and needed for 21. You provide a safe space that a lot of interviewers don't. It's almost more like you providing us with live, 1st person autobiographies rather than just a interview.
As a 60+ DJ I know of 21 as an artist and spin his music and that was it. This interview stripped away the stardom, fame, and celebrity of 21 and left us with a humble and very vulnerable relatable man that I didn't know existed. IMO these interviews will do more to grow an artist's fanbase than any record they drop. 21 gained me as a fan today. To Shannon aka Unc, Bro your platform is golden. I'm glad I subscribed after the Kat W. interview and keep doing a Great job. No one's touching your numbers!
I've heard of him but not enough to know his music. With me being in my late 40s, I didn't know if his interview would resonate with me. I want nothing but the best for him. I can't wait to see what all he accomplishes. He deserves all the ADULATIONS 😊.
Same. Im in my late 40s too and aside from hearing him on the radio Im not that familiar with him as a person. Just like with Kat I'll be checking out anything I see him in now. Great interview. ❤
I fell in love with his voice and message on the usher,/ summer Walker song. But I can relate to his pain with his father. I'm 58 and usually don't like the new rappers, but I live this, the truth in him and him being so aware of his pain. Smart guy, hope he continues to be a life long learner, it's in him to be smart/ . Keep growing ❤
Shannon's intros are unparalleled, and you can see from the guests' expressions that they haven't experienced such intros before. That's one thing I appreciate about Shay Shay.
@@lilsamreactions507that’s a good idea. But the amount of research he does just to get that many personal facts is enough to prove genuine and thorough
As a grown man reflecting on my childhood growing up on the east side of ATL and noticing similarities between myself and 21, while also listening to and watching Savage do the same during this interview, I just wanna say thank u to both these brothers. Experiences are universal and I think this discussion will help a lot of young men realize that. This interview was amazing.
Shannon, thank you for handling this young man’s story delicately. You were nonjudgmental and gave him a safe space to express himself. Our young men need men to walk with them. Big ups to you!
This podcast is really blowing up and Shannon deserves all the credit for keeping it real and creating a safe place where truth and deep conversation can emerge.
lets talk about how these celebrities are showing up and out for shannon sharpe , not only are they accepting the interview they’re also giving him material that no other interview has 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 i love savage
I always liked 21 Savage but this interview made me even more of a fan! The way Shannon gives a safe space for every single person that sits with him is such a special gift.
It’s dope asf to see all the people starting to pay attention to unc podcast now . I been watching since day 1 . This is therapy for the artist and fans
You did an amazing job validating his feelings about his father Shannon! This was such a therapy session and I love how 21 got more comfortable as it went along. I was so into his storytelling I got mad when it went to an ad lmaooo
He's really done an amazing job of dealing with his trauma. He's able to talk about it objectively at the age of 30, most people don't get that type of introspection until they are like 50
Listening to his music he definitely pours his heart out but hearing him just speak about it like this, he ain’t scared to be open about his trauma, I salute that
This is a therapist at its finest , there is great therapy in being able to tell your story , because it reconnects you with your roots and makes you remember where you came from and makes you respect where you are in life , and then when we get to look back at ourselves years later we can see our growth ! Speaking all things into existence!
Watching savage have this conversation and the way he listens taught me something. This guy has a way of communicating without any ego and is interested in Shannon’s opinion, it’s refreshing!
Man you are like a new celebrity therapist uncle. With all that these guys have going on in their lives , i dont think they really ever sit there and reflect on their lives. Truly a safe space!
That’s Right 21, tell YOUR Story!! Parents have to understand & accept OUR version, OUR truth of OUR story no matter HOW it makes THEM feel!! You can NOT discredit OUR (MY) feelings, just because it hurts you, or makes YOU feel/look a certain way!! 💯 Very GREAT interview!! 👏🏽🙌🏽 Thank YOU 21/Savage for sharing your story!! ✊🏽🫡❤️❤️
Yes I concur…and believe that this is the start of a close relationship…he can receive what’s been missing in a male role model…Shay will be his Unc …their chemistry was noticeable
I wish the absolute BEST for Mr. Savage. No matter the chitter chatter of naysayers, his willingness to learn and be vulnerable, candid and confident is the reason he will continue to elevate. I'm proud of the young man. Sending healing and positive energy.
I SECOND THAT!! 🙌👏👏👏👏 I'M WITH YOU, I ALSO SEND 🤗 LOVE, RESPECT, POSITIVE ENERGY AND GOOD VIBES!!.. . WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT THIS IS YOUNG 21's SPIRIT!! I HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF RESPECT FOR HIM DO TO THE SIMPLE FACT OF HIM JUST BEING HIM AND GIVING US JUST THAT, AS WELL AS HIS COURAGE, AND HUMILITY TO BE TRUTHFUL ABOUT THE GOOD AND BAD TIMES IN HIS LIFE. THIS IS A GOOD LITTLE BROTHER.. . GOD BLESS YOU 21🫡🫡🙏🤝🤜🤛😎💯 COMING TO YOU FROM DETROIT, CITY 🌇🌉
I sincerely hope that people watching and/or listening to this interview recognize that this is not just a story about Atlanta and hip hop history. This is also an immigrant story, particularly the story of growing up as an undocumented immigrant.
@@BlkOnyx0508your ignorant. They literally deported him and undocumented immigrant children are able to go to school here in America with no need to provide specific documents
@DanielS784 No, Shannon likes to see his interviews as interviews, bu more so just a conversation he stated, which I'm sure makes them feel more comfortable
@@gheewiz4211 I agree, it was more like a conversation. Savage seems like a good guy. It is crazy listening to him tell stories about the the hood. I lived in the hood from 17-25 and went through some ish out there. Things people shouldn't go have to go through. I don't know why this seems to be what is normal out there. I moved out a little over a decade ago. Savage has songs out there that promote that lifestyle. I don't understand that.
These interviews really let the celebrities be human 💯💯 it's dope to see that they are IN fact human and not some strange species. They experienced everything we experienced and it's nice to see it being shown in a healthy way 🤷🏽
Great platform. And I appreciate the brother 21 savage for being comfortable and open to expressed his feelings, stories, childhood trauma, just speaking on life. And this is much deeper than one knows.. nearly just the American story of some to most of us
Shannon Sharpe has the best introductions in podcast history along with some of the best questions in podcast history. He really goes in depth with their career and their lifestyle from childhood to adulthood much props!!!
So true! Also, I LOVE the Nipsey song 🎵 as well!! I miss him still, if I hadn't met him, perhaps it wouldn't be so bad 😢 but continue to Rest in Paradise Nip...you are STILL Missed!! 💙💙💙
I’ve never seen 21 Savage appear to be so comfortable and humble in an interview. Shannon thank you so much for providing a safe space for any and everyone to tell their stories.
You should see his first interview with The Breakfast club, similar energy to this and it was great. Liked his music alright at that point but that interview I became a huge fan. 21 Savage is a solid dude
The moral of 21 Salvage story is the importance of having a father figure in your life. Fathers always do your best that you can for your kids. Your guidance in there life can bring them a far way. Great interview Sir Shay
his mother was trash! from 21 savage mouth, they didnt have to move out the country, she choose to leave and seperate him from his father. and also from 21's own mouth, for the kids that stayed in the u.k. his father was a great father to them! it seems to me his mother shoud'lve left him with his father! Mothers do sooo much harm to growing little boys but never get called out on it.....only the messed up dads....never the messed up moms!
@@igttofficialshe probs moved them to the states so the kids could have more opportunities and a better quality of life. But why they went back to the states after she knew the visa’s had expired doesn’t rlly make sense to me as now none of them could get jobs or go college or whatever. Maybe it was just ATL was ‘home’ at that point so they went back but idk.
@@djjjjj.1876I’m from London bro this is the most confusing story ever, why would you move from London to go struggle in the hood in east atlanta.. I defo wanna hear an interview from his mum because this sounds crazy he had no legal rights in America to stay or work imagine if he never became a rapper what would he have done? To me sounds like his mum moved for a man
Watched this start to finish. Very insightful, its nice to see 21 savage be vulnerable & share these stories with us. Shout out to Shay for allowing him to get it all off 🐐🔥
He went through so much as a baby and you can see it in his eyes. I’m grateful that our young men have this platform to come be vulnerable. Adults need a village too. Thank you Shannon.
Great interview, I love the way 21 isn’t afraid of being transparent or asking questions of things he may not know …he’s going to always be able to learn and think outside the box with that approach
I’m 59 and thought this was an interesting interview. I keep up with modern rap so I can talk to my kids about things they like. This was good but a sad story. He did speak the truth killing will never stop, that’s why we keep having wars. It’s not just poor people fighting each other.
This interview was so well done. Shannon did a great job and this was more like a conversation.I have so much respect for this young man-his humbleness, humility and vulnerability came through. I just wanted to give 21 a big hug after this interview. All the best to him.
Yes, gripping is the right word. I’ve never heard this man’s music or knew anything about him, but this interview was powerful on so many levels. I really hope this reaching the ears and minds of many and brings about the start of healing. Amazing!!
Unc is starting to have the best podcast out there. He makes this platform so comfortable, where the person he’s interviewing is just talking open. I also love that Unc doesn’t cut off the people he’s interviewing.
Literally good vibes even when speaking of a negative situation, know u gotta good thing going for the ppl and the guest mental, when the person speaking on events they can't clearly remember at first but as the keep talking the memories come back, reminiscing nd talking about ur emotions, healthy asf
Props to ShayShay for his active listening skills. I'm glad 21 was able to open up in this conversation, feels like we got to know him as more than an artist but as a human being. I like 21 Savage, he doesn't take himself too seriously even tho his past has been serious af. I immediately clicked on this because I knew he would have an interesting story, Shay was right he absolutely does. I hope Savage continues getting love & healing, dude deserves it. I've been a fan but now I really got love for 21 after seeing this ❤
I respect this young man here. I didn’t like his music early on, but I swear he got better with every project, his style can not be duplicated, originality at its finest. Great interview
I didn’t know half of this man’s story and haven’t listened to a lot of his music but this conversation has given me a new appreciation of his life and character.
I stumbled upon this interview mostly because of the Katt interview. I really enjoyed this interview because the young man is apparently humble, teachable, respectful, candid and down to earth. What stuck out to me was him asking what a word meant to get clarification so he would be better prepared how to answer Shan's question.
I've seen many people say it already but Shannon has really created an open space for peole and it's a beautiful thing. I felt like I was watching someone's first therapy session. I hope this is healing for 21❤ i pray he is seeking help because this isn't just child memories he's reliving trauma,
Great Interview. You could tell as the conversation/interview went on, 21 Salvage slowly opened up more and more and became more relaxed. You just never know what a person has been through and to see how he has grown & matured & flourished is pretty amazing. This was a pretty dope sit down.
Shannon, this is beautiful. As a current psychology major, I admire your interviewing skills bc they create a safe space for your guests. In my opinion, it resembles therapy as well. Amazing interview! 🖐🏾⭐️’s
This really made me look at 21 differently. I’m older and officially apart of the ‘this is not rap/hip hop’ crew. But honestly just hearing him say he’s talking about life more and at first he was just saying anything … makes me want to listen to the album. Also… I felt he was so open here and I love hearing men be vulnerable. ❤
One thing the haters cant say about Mr Sharpe is that he isn't super prepared for his interviews. He also brings a sense of comfortability. The culture appreciates you Shannon and salute to my UK brudda 21. Great conversation 💪🏿.
The fact 21 Savage was willing to ask what a word means in the middle of a convo that’s going to be seen my millions of people is a sign of humility so many people lack, can’t ever stop being willing to learn
What ?! lol
I said the same thing to myself when he did that!💪🏾
I agree
@@performlikemike251performl7 Most people would just pretend they understood in that situation, people are insecure
True u always never too old to learn
21 is so chill and comfortable in this interview; it's like you're talking to one of your favorite cousins. His childhood stories are so relatable.
The stories he told in this interview?
I promise I typed this exact comment
Right swear his stories are just like a lot of us here in America 💯💯💯🫡🫡🫡

lets talk about how these celebrities are showing up and out for shannon sharpe , not only are they accepting the interview they’re also giving him material that no other interview has 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 i love savage
What I appreciate about this conversation is that you can literally see Savage learning lessons from Unc and him giving thanks for it 👏🏾 💯
I always liked 21 Savage but this interview made me even more of a fan! The way Shannon gives a safe space for every single person that sits with him is such a special gift.
Shannon seems like he can make u want to talk about stuff that you wouldn’t tell anyone else
This interview was amazing I love he didn't mind sharing his story I'm so glad 21 was able to change the narrative by taking another path in life
It’s dope asf to see all the people starting to pay attention to unc podcast now . I been watching since day 1 . This is therapy for the artist and fans
Fathers are so important in a child’s life. I appreciate 21’s transparency 🙏🏾
You did an amazing job validating his feelings about his father Shannon! This was such a therapy session and I love how 21 got more comfortable as it went along. I was so into his storytelling I got mad when it went to an ad lmaooo
Same 😂
Is my music good?.,
You still get ads? Man, I'm genuinely sorry.
@@riverbankchristmas276lmao 😂🤣
Ikr?!?! Made me Sooooooo Mad when the ads cut in! 💯😡🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's really done an amazing job of dealing with his trauma. He's able to talk about it objectively at the age of 30, most people don't get that type of introspection until they are like 50
He 32
No interview… No barbershop talk…
Just organically Heart to Heart talk✅💯
@RichieRichMo3 you absolutely right brother and we can relate 💯💯💯🫡🫡🫡
Is my music fire?>
One of his most authentic conversations yet. Love 21
All of his family and friends who passed away are watching over 21 savage, that’s why he’s so huge! This guy is blessed. Rip to his loved ones
👸🙏🙏🙏
Is my music good?.,
Listening to his music he definitely pours his heart out but hearing him just speak about it like this, he ain’t scared to be open about his trauma, I salute that
This is a therapist at its finest , there is great therapy in being able to tell your story , because it reconnects you with your roots and makes you remember where you came from and makes you respect where you are in life , and then when we get to look back at ourselves years later we can see our growth ! Speaking all things into existence!
Watching savage have this conversation and the way he listens taught me something. This guy has a way of communicating without any ego and is interested in Shannon’s opinion, it’s refreshing!
Man you are like a new celebrity therapist uncle. With all that these guys have going on in their lives , i dont think they really ever sit there and reflect on their lives. Truly a safe space!
Shay made 21 feel safe, he needed this older brother at this moment.
Indeed
💯Needed Unc
That’s Right 21, tell YOUR Story!! Parents have to understand & accept OUR version, OUR truth of OUR story no matter HOW it makes THEM feel!! You can NOT discredit OUR (MY) feelings, just because it hurts you, or makes YOU feel/look a certain way!! 💯
Very GREAT interview!! 👏🏽🙌🏽
Thank YOU 21/Savage for sharing your story!! ✊🏽🫡❤️❤️
Facts
Towards the end of the interview it felt like a father, son convo and it made me smile.The end came full circle, this was one of them ones Unc salute.
Yes I concur…and believe that this is the start of a close relationship…he can receive what’s been missing in a male role model…Shay will be his Unc …their chemistry was noticeable
I have a ton of respect for this dude. High level of self-awareness.
Lol get ready to lose a ton of respect for him
I wish the absolute BEST for Mr. Savage. No matter the chitter chatter of naysayers, his willingness to learn and be vulnerable, candid and confident is the reason he will continue to elevate. I'm proud of the young man. Sending healing and positive energy.
I SECOND THAT!! 🙌👏👏👏👏 I'M WITH YOU, I ALSO SEND 🤗 LOVE, RESPECT, POSITIVE ENERGY AND GOOD VIBES!!.. . WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT THIS IS YOUNG 21's SPIRIT!! I HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF RESPECT FOR HIM DO TO THE SIMPLE FACT OF HIM JUST BEING HIM AND GIVING US JUST THAT, AS WELL AS HIS COURAGE, AND HUMILITY TO BE TRUTHFUL ABOUT THE GOOD AND BAD TIMES IN HIS LIFE. THIS IS A GOOD LITTLE BROTHER.. . GOD BLESS YOU 21🫡🫡🙏🤝🤜🤛😎💯 COMING TO YOU FROM DETROIT, CITY 🌇🌉
Smart brother
🫡🫡🫡
You did it savage !!!you showed this generation that you can transform your life for the better regardless of your circumstances
Omg❤❤❤❤❤🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🥷
Yes Definitely, I'm so proud of him ❤❤
I sincerely hope that people watching and/or listening to this interview recognize that this is not just a story about Atlanta and hip hop history. This is also an immigrant story, particularly the story of growing up as an undocumented immigrant.
He went to school. He was documented somewhere 😂
@@BlkOnyx0508your ignorant. They literally deported him and undocumented immigrant children are able to go to school here in America with no need to provide specific documents
He had a Visa that's how he went to school he just wasn't a US citizen yet
Who cares 🤣
And how to make dumb choices.
Shout out Shannon these interviews 🔥
"Conversations" they are tho
@@gheewiz4211A conversation while Shannon reads all the questions his producers told him to ask is a conversation?
@DanielS784 No, Shannon likes to see his interviews as interviews, bu more so just a conversation he stated, which I'm sure makes them feel more comfortable
@@gheewiz4211 I agree, it was more like a conversation. Savage seems like a good guy. It is crazy listening to him tell stories about the the hood. I lived in the hood from 17-25 and went through some ish out there. Things people shouldn't go have to go through. I don't know why this seems to be what is normal out there. I moved out a little over a decade ago. Savage has songs out there that promote that lifestyle. I don't understand that.
na fr
These interviews really let the celebrities be human 💯💯 it's dope to see that they are IN fact human and not some strange species. They experienced everything we experienced and it's nice to see it being shown in a healthy way 🤷🏽
You thought celebrities were different than you??? Just genuinely confused on what you thought was different from them then you???
To get a rapper to open up like this shows the truly amazing gift Shannon Sharpe has.
Great platform.
And I appreciate the brother 21 savage for being comfortable and open to expressed his feelings, stories, childhood trauma, just speaking on life. And this is much deeper than one knows.. nearly just the American story of some to most of us
Facts
So true
Thank you brother, I appreciate it. That why we do it you know
That was a therapy session.
Is my music good?.,
- Savage is actually interested in the interview. I respect that
Growing up living and seeing similar situations as 21, i can honestly appreciate the way Shannon is talking to him. It's like therapy for me
Probably don’t live in the ghetto anymore. It’s amazing what not living in the hood does to your mental. You’re probably a regular person now
Fr fr!!!
“It’s good but I don’t drink” “I did that for you” has me crackin up
he ain’t even drink nun fr 😂😂
@@acevinciI peeped that to 😂😂
Shannon Sharpe has the best introductions in podcast history along with some of the best questions in podcast history. He really goes in depth with their career and their lifestyle from childhood to adulthood much props!!!
Next to the 85 South Show I agree
So true! Also, I LOVE the Nipsey song 🎵 as well!! I miss him still, if I hadn't met him, perhaps it wouldn't be so bad 😢 but continue to Rest in Paradise Nip...you are STILL Missed!! 💙💙💙
I’ve never seen 21 Savage appear to be so comfortable and humble in an interview. Shannon thank you so much for providing a safe space for any and everyone to tell their stories.
You should see his first interview with The Breakfast club, similar energy to this and it was great. Liked his music alright at that point but that interview I became a huge fan. 21 Savage is a solid dude
The moral of 21 Salvage story is the importance of having a father figure in your life. Fathers always do your best that you can for your kids. Your guidance in there life can bring them a far way. Great interview Sir Shay
his mother was trash! from 21 savage mouth, they didnt have to move out the country, she choose to leave and seperate him from his father. and also from 21's own mouth, for the kids that stayed in the u.k. his father was a great father to them! it seems to me his mother shoud'lve left him with his father! Mothers do sooo much harm to growing little boys but never get called out on it.....only the messed up dads....never the messed up moms!
@@igttofficialshe probs moved them to the states so the kids could have more opportunities and a better quality of life. But why they went back to the states after she knew the visa’s had expired doesn’t rlly make sense to me as now none of them could get jobs or go college or whatever. Maybe it was just ATL was ‘home’ at that point so they went back but idk.
@@djjjjj.1876is london rly worse than east atlanta realistically
@@igttofficialjust cuz he gave an interview don’t mean you know his life enough to speak on his mother…
@@djjjjj.1876I’m from London bro this is the most confusing story ever, why would you move from London to go struggle in the hood in east atlanta.. I defo wanna hear an interview from his mum because this sounds crazy he had no legal rights in America to stay or work imagine if he never became a rapper what would he have done? To me sounds like his mum moved for a man
Shannon is the best listener in the world. That's why everyone opens up.
Watched this start to finish. Very insightful, its nice to see 21 savage be vulnerable & share these stories with us. Shout out to Shay for allowing him to get it all off 🐐🔥
He went through so much as a baby and you can see it in his eyes. I’m grateful that our young men have this platform to come be vulnerable. Adults need a village too. Thank you Shannon.
Unc been killing it since the Katt Williams interview to start this year🔥🔥🔥
Katt n 21...there is nothing else to say😘😘😘
he been killin it since before then as well bruh
Been killing it since before the Katt interview*
Unc done been killing it BEFORE the Katt Williams interview. Real talk.
@@home9dog2blue199facts
Great interview, I love the way 21 isn’t afraid of being transparent or asking questions of things he may not know …he’s going to always be able to learn and think outside the box with that approach
I’m 59 and thought this was an interesting interview. I keep up with modern rap so I can talk to my kids about things they like. This was good but a sad story. He did speak the truth killing will never stop, that’s why we keep having wars. It’s not just poor people fighting each other.
I'm 52 and still a hip hop head
This interview was so well done. Shannon did a great job and this was more like a conversation.I have so much respect for this young man-his humbleness, humility and vulnerability came through. I just wanted to give 21 a big hug after this interview. All the best to him.
Idk if I ever watched an interview more relaxing and genuine. It’s like unc n 21 been knowing each other for years
This was a gripping interview. Had no idea his childhood was so traumatic. At least he admitted to still being affected by it. #21
You must have not listened to his music
So many of us are😢
Yes, gripping is the right word. I’ve never heard this man’s music or knew anything about him, but this interview was powerful on so many levels. I really hope this reaching the ears and minds of many and brings about the start of healing. Amazing!!
Gripping? Lmao no
4 minutes in and we already got the "on god"😂💯
Facts😂 he real asf
facts. Made me think, this where Latto got it from
"On god" "on moms" and "type s%@t"
😂😂😂
Not very articulate. Smh
21 is so quiet and reserved it’s so good to finally see him open up
I love Shannon’s questioning and how he transitions. It’s seamless a real interview but feels like a conversation
Unc is starting to have the best podcast out there. He makes this platform so comfortable, where the person he’s interviewing is just talking open. I also love that Unc doesn’t cut off the people he’s interviewing.
Literally good vibes even when speaking of a negative situation, know u gotta good thing going for the ppl and the guest mental, when the person speaking on events they can't clearly remember at first but as the keep talking the memories come back, reminiscing nd talking about ur emotions, healthy asf
These interviews getting better and better…
21 Savage: On God.
Props to ShayShay for his active listening skills. I'm glad 21 was able to open up in this conversation, feels like we got to know him as more than an artist but as a human being. I like 21 Savage, he doesn't take himself too seriously even tho his past has been serious af. I immediately clicked on this because I knew he would have an interesting story, Shay was right he absolutely does. I hope Savage continues getting love & healing, dude deserves it. I've been a fan but now I really got love for 21 after seeing this ❤
I can relate so much to 21’s story as an immigrant kid. This interview is therapy for me. congratulations on all the success !
The respect you give to your guest when they are speaking is second to none , I’m appreciative of the of this platform, thank you 🙏🏽
yesss. i didn't even think about this . He listens forreal when they speak. I am liking shay shay more.
Yeah man too many times host be wanting to put their two cents in. Cutting guest off. Shannon lets his guest speak and finish their thoughts.
I respect this young man here. I didn’t like his music early on, but I swear he got better with every project, his style can not be duplicated, originality at its finest. Great interview
Very well said!! I feel the same
Is my music good?.,
@@Macodythemettait’s trash
@@flowmastaentlisten to him with Nas Dirk and Co he is much better
I didn’t know half of this man’s story and haven’t listened to a lot of his music but this conversation has given me a new appreciation of his life and character.
He’s so humble, real and raw, it’s like you’re talking to any cousin, friend, brother he don’t give off as rich❤
I stumbled upon this interview mostly because of the Katt interview. I really enjoyed this interview because the young man is apparently humble, teachable, respectful, candid and down to earth. What stuck out to me was him asking what a word meant to get clarification so he would be better prepared how to answer Shan's question.
This is making me see 21 savage in a whole different way. 🖤
Facts.
i love how open he is! i didn’t expect him to be this open. God bless this man and his journey
I've seen many people say it already but Shannon has really created an open space for peole and it's a beautiful thing. I felt like I was watching someone's first therapy session. I hope this is healing for 21❤ i pray he is seeking help because this isn't just child memories he's reliving trauma,
I’m Seeing 21 in a different light after this interview. Definitely proud of his success and coming from the bottom 💯 salute
Great Interview. You could tell as the conversation/interview went on, 21 Salvage slowly opened up more and more and became more relaxed. You just never know what a person has been through and to see how he has grown & matured & flourished is pretty amazing. This was a pretty dope sit down.
It was when he got that thc in the system , that got him to that level .
Shannon, this is beautiful. As a current psychology major, I admire your interviewing skills bc they create a safe space for your guests. In my opinion, it resembles therapy as well. Amazing interview! 🖐🏾⭐️’s
As a social work major i completely agreeed
This has quickly become my favorite podcast now. Your guest are only getting better 💯
Same😊
This really made me look at 21 differently. I’m older and officially apart of the ‘this is not rap/hip hop’ crew. But honestly just hearing him say he’s talking about life more and at first he was just saying anything … makes me want to listen to the album. Also… I felt he was so open here and I love hearing men be vulnerable. ❤
His music is amazing, definetly check it out
This is powerful. I commend 21 Savage for being open in his truth and Shannon for making the platform a place for truth ❤
One thing the haters cant say about Mr Sharpe is that he isn't super prepared for his interviews. He also brings a sense of comfortability. The culture appreciates you Shannon and salute to my UK brudda 21. Great conversation 💪🏿.
21 Savage seems like a very self aware, thoughtful young man. All the best to him.
