That kind. That guy. They play that annoying song on Vine all the time like over and over again. You know that black don't walk on water? That's Lil Yachty Lil Yachty is so hot He's so cute I love him He's the hottest His name I don't even know His name is Miles Younger than me. 18 and he got all that money like shit, that's what I want to be. Okay. Alright. Here I go. You will stay here. Look there, there. Well, hello friends. Our new boat here Um, today we're in my backyard, you know? It's a summer day.

A great summer. Actually, I think I'm here to talk about Yachty and Boat. Can I just say that I am very proud because I would do it? I never expected my children and my babies to grow up and be superstars. It's phenomenal. Grow. I always dreamed of walking red carpets with flashing lights. Know? And I'm just being a superstar I wanted to be famous I wanted to be known I wanted to be remembered I knew I wasn't working without a job And I knew I couldn't get a job with this hair I knew I was different We used to work together at this fast food restaurant And he was slacking off all the time Slack slack slack He left me all the work I don't understand I don't understand why people like it I don't The manager I would call him Miles.

I don't know where that Lil Yachty Lil Boat thing comes from, but I guess it works for him now. What was Miles like when he was a child? Miles was very creative. I am extroverted. He was a good boy. He was a great guy. I can't complain at all. He was always back in that room doing something with his friends. What he was doing. I never knew. I just knew there was. There were a lot of children in my house and they were there doing something. I had no idea they were making music. I met Yachty at a party.

I knew him as people in common and at first we didn't like him very much. And then they actually met at a party and since then he called me to tell me how much he hated college and stuff and that he didn't have many friends because and real Alabama country, so he's always this person that stands out. with red hair. They didn't like him, they thought he was weird and stuff. So he used to call me and tell me how much he hated him all the time. People always talk about how fun college is and shit.

It seemed like everyone there was having a good time. This time I felt like I was the only one miserable You could hear everyone talking about me When I walked anywhere I was probably like the most popular kid on campus Although in the worst way Man, I was like a laughingstock A joke because of my hair I don't want to go to school, fuck, school. That was the first time it happened to me. In my life, I have never been laughed at. I was the shit. I knew I was the shit. Mind you, while this was happening, I still had a plan.

I knew this wasn't forever. I knew my hair would take me where I needed to go. I wasn't going to cut it. They can. They say they're laughing at me, they're joking But I'm not going to cut my hair I don't give a damn They could talk or make fun of me all they wanted. They hurt me. I was sad because I'm not going to give up my shit. So like I was getting on a plane, I left everything. I didn't care about TV. None of that shit I left. I didn't even retire. I just left it.

I wanted to make music because I knew I could, I knew how to do it. I had these songs written, I wrote them on paper. Ben and Collin really let me know. I don't want to live a normal life I want to be rich I want to be a celebrity I want to be famous I want to be known I want to have this hair and not be laughed at and not excited I'm not going to go However, to say that it was a negative thing. You, as a father, don't go through life and say: When my son grows up I want him to be a rapper.

That's not something you say. You say doctor, lawyer, um, but not rapper. I came home for the first time from Atlanta, we used to record in a garage, I pulled out the Minnesota beat and you can hear when someone's recording, you know, I walked into the booth. And I had this high beat and I did it And everyone started laughing I mean everyone What the fuck? black, what is this? What are you doing, brother? As if it had kept the man this fire shit. This fire shit, black, this is shit, black. You have a high-pitched voice, you sound like a girl, you know what I'm saying.

Everyone laughs. Every single one of my friends were just fucking with me. I mean, it had a different sound. You can't deny that shit. I have a different sound. I don't sound like anyone. I can rap and I can sing I like it and I can make a hit or I can be lyrical Hello? Hello, place your order please. Hello, can I order two corn dogs and a cheerful wine? Spicy chicken sandwich Takeaway? And another order of fries Ok, would you like something else? I love you $16.99 in the next window So yeah, we had a mutual friend introduce us.

Our mutual friend didn't like my beats that much. I couldn't find anyone who liked my beats. And then Yachty heard it. Well, our mutual friend was like him. He didn't want to hear the beats from him, but hearing it, yeah, it's a boo. Yachty was like he just played it for me. So I played it for him. I met Perry essentially at a party. He was like at the bottom, like floating. He was in it. room. He didn't talk much. He was there and I said: do you make beats? He said yes. His friend said yeah, he makes beats, but he's not really that good.

He's fine And I'm like, no, no, no, let me listen to one of your beats. Can I tell you that at first he was almost hesitant? Like he's like me? And then he pulled out his laptop and played it and I instantly thought, This is amazing. I thought: what is this? This is magnificent. So after that day I got his number. We got the contact and I used to call him like, bro, we got to work. He had all these beats, all these beats on his computer. And he had all his stuff in the car and shit.

As if he didn't understand at that moment. He was living in his car and he didn't even know that he had literally zero dollars and no place to live. So I welcomed it as if you came with me. Do you know what I do? I'm saying I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him. It wouldn't be anything. He wouldn't have made that sound. That sound is what led me to do it. Whatever he does, he can do. Anything he wants he can get. You know what I am saying? That's my brother But basically that's when I started developing Sailing Team.

I had rappers, I had producers. And I was creating this group when no one was like anyone else. That's why I feel like we got it, bro. Let's sign. We too good. We have too many stars with hidden talent I just don't want them to think I'm not thinking about them bro I'm thinking about all my friends all the time I'm really excited about the future We'll all be millionaires If we play our cards right Get some lawyers and pay our taxes We'll be millionaires to always I never just called myself a rapper I used to correct people sometimes Cause I don't just rap.

I am a brand So I built Sailing Team Sailing Team is bigger than just a group. It's a wave. It's a movement It's just bigger, it's positivity Keep selling Never give up That's all the time we have today guys I wish I could stay with you, you know, you chat about it all day But unfortunately it's my time to go Take my vitamins and you know and eat my food because diabetes is a huge fool. A tremendous fool. Um, you know, so, you know, see you next summer. Next winter, every time I see them, I will be working here with my nephews.

I'm sure I'll be home as usual. I'm sure they're trying to prepare the next product. They love it, they love making that music for you. I do not know why. If it were up to me, they would cut me off. grass But, however, you know, see you around Maybe at the bingo Goodbye
