  • The one and only 21 Savage sits down with Shannon Sharpe in this episode of Club Shay Shay, and it's a rollercoaster of realness with the Atlanta rapper. 21 goes into what it was like being born in London and growing up in Atlanta, exposing the trials and tribulations that eventually led to him becoming a global music superstar. Then, 21 Savage spares no details as he shares the chilling story of surviving six gunshot wounds and witnessing his friend's murder. The harsh realities of the rap game aren’t exclusive to 21’s experiences as he delves into the death of Memphis’ Yo Gotti’s brother. Then, The Saint Laurent Don delves into the financial side of the industry, comparing rap money to NFL earnings and shedding light on the frugality of T.I., who almost gave 21 a million dollars but didn’t, which turned out to be a blessing in the long run. But the buck doesn’t stop there, as 21 responds to Snoop Dogg's streaming insights and shares that there is good money to be made from streaming, which has compelled him to consider selling his catalog as Future did. 21 Savage covers it all; from claiming the title of the best rapper in his XXL Freshman Class, to giving his picks for the Mt. Rushmore of R&B artists and the best rappers from Atlanta, and expressing his willingness to drop a collab album with J. Cole. It's a candid, no-filter conversation that gives fans an unfiltered glimpse into the life and opinions of the Atlanta rap legend.

    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.

    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'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 ❤

      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.

    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 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
