Desiigner on 'Panda', 'Timmy Turner', Signing to Kanye, Leaving Kanye, Getting Shot (Full Interview)
Ойын-сауық
In this full-length interview, Desiigner talks about his Brooklyn roots, his Caribbean heritage, and being the grandson of a famous African American Blues singer named Sidney Selby, aka Guitar Crusher. As the discussion continues, the 25-year-old talks about growing up in the Louis Armstrong projects, gang-banging, getting shot at the age of fourteen and hustling. He also talks about how getting shot changed his life and made him want to choose a different path.
From there, he revisits some of his earliest hits, such as "Zombie Walk," which was released back in 2016. Then, the 25-year-old talks about the making of "Panda" from his debut album and how the song was curated amongst his friends at his house before he was even signed. The New York rapper goes on to explain that "Panda" was inspired by seeing his friend's black and white Audi S6 cars and the panda emoji that he saw on his phone. Moving along, Desiigner reflects back on signing with Kanye West's imprint G.O.O.D. Music and having the iconic emcee use "Panda" for his album called "The Life of Pablo."
As the Q&A session continues, Desiigner talks about working with Steve Aoki and PNB Rock, helping his parents, touring, leaving G.O.O.D Music, Dropping a "Thotiana" Remix, getting into it with police at a gas station, working on new music, working on Real Estate, getting into fashion, movies, and more.

Good interview. Love how humble & positive he is.
I'm so glad, Designer is aware and conscious of the question traps. There were many, but he's tapped in. Continued blessing to this young man.

I don’t listen to rap music like that, but I really love this dude. When he first came out, you could to that he was genuinely a happy person, and that he was happy to have finally made it. I love that you can still see that in him. I pray that he continues to succeed! 🥰🥰🥰

Love to see his growth keep going king never stop.
i can imagine having the biggest hit song,touring with big artists,hanging out with kanye and travis, traveling the world,meeting other celebrities,going to award shows,music critics clowning you then later on it being taken from you and going back to your normal life as if u never had a music career,no one talking about you,no rappers or musicians caring about you, that shit must have a mental effect on him or on someone..personally i think would go insane trying to hold on but i can see Designer is doing good

He def did NOT go back to his regular life. Just on Spotify he has 5 million monthly listeners. Not to mention he clearly said he owns properties and has money invested in stocks too. He’s still doing great compared to 99% of the country. His regular life in bk was in the hood…

@@heroonmasur3539 i wish u re read what ive written,and having a lil more money than the normal person isn't a great life its still normal,he ain't a millionaire,he just doing good pluss monthly listeners on Spotify dont count much..He struggles to get a million plays on Spotify,yes he may still be earning a good amount of money from his music but all am saying is that having that extravagant life,being with celebrities,being on radios,ur always on the news,touring with big artist and performing for huge crowds,,if thats taken away from you and u live a normal life its not exciting at all for u had a very extravagant life....So i donno why u saying he doesn't have a normal life..

I'm so glad whoever this interviewer is didn't fuck up his energy. Desiigner is the shit man. I miss seeing him on top. Just a truly grateful human being.
As far as I can see , he always had that energy
Interviewer: *asks question* Desiigner: "Has you really been far?..."
I like his vibe.. he seems like a cool ass dude..

VLAD finally uploaded the full interview of one of the biggest Two-Hit Wonders of the 2010s, Desiigner. Thank you, VLAD TV.
I can't make it through this interview, and i spend hours watching interrogation videos. Can somebody tell me what he is saying?
I love that song panda
He definitely do look like Iman Shumpert now 😂😂😂😂
WE NEED MORE LIKE THIS VLAD!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sounds just like Mr. Cheeks from the Lost Boys during skit from 'Legal drug money' album during beginning of song named after album.
I'm convinced he's creating a new language on the spot
He remind me of the busta rhymes character on boondocks with thugnificent😂😂
it's lit
26:42 Sorry but "Panda in a cage" is kinda funny 🤣
I know what he means bro
At first I thought this was ebonic but I can’t even describe the desiigner language “beforeimsaying”😂😂😂
Word feel what I’m saying 😂 brooklyn is def in the building
