VonOff1700 on Losing His Best Friend at 16, Reveals Meaning of 1700

What is your definition of a

friend

? Someone you can call when you wake up. Like someone who will truly be there for you. Because I don't have many

friend

s. I don't call my real friend. Someone. That's just it. Wow, that's going to rock with you when you really need it the most, how do you personally identify a fake friend just by what they really do and what they say? You can tell when, for example, when someone I really miss, now you mentioned that you have a limited amount of friends, yes, but do you have a

best

friend by any chance?

Oh yeah, but he did it and he cared to share that person's name. His name was Anon. He died when we were young, since he was about 16 years old before his death. Do you remember how you first met? Hell yeah, my grandma's crib, my mom made me go outside in my grandma's crib, he stayed on my grandma's block and this was a grandma from your mother's side of the family, not my dad's side. . On the father's side, I apologize now, what was he really like? Who was my

best

friend? Yeah, he was just we were young so we were everywhere really.

You can't even tell what he was really like because we used to be pinching each other. We used to be doing all kinds of stuff, do you remember the last correspondence you had with him before he passed away bro, we were playing, we were at the gym, the YCA and how long do you think that took place before he passed away, that's like 2017 , but not? Would you say it was like 24 hours before he passed away? Oh hell no, it was like weeks like I hadn't seen him in a couple of weeks. How did they notify you that he had in fact died?

I'm OG now, do you have a favorite memory of him that you would like to share with the audience today oh hell no we have too many bro we have too many and what is the best advice you received from him or the most important thing you learned from being around him, In any case, brother. I don't even know because we've been through a lot together, as a brother, we got stranded together all kinds of things, so we don't even know, but one thing about him and I were going to stay together. so stay, stay next to a real, like your real dog, stay there for real, now excuse the mental confusion, but he passed away before you started making music, yes, long before, but it's so funny because no we made songs before. together in some setting and in some you like to just play, type now, did you have any aspirations to make music besides you guys? just you two just having fun and uh hell no I think hell no they really harassed us really really You played real basketball what do you think he would think hypothetically talking about you taking music seriously and where you at musically at this moment?

He would support me. He probably he would be a rapper on brother, we probably would have been rapping together on some fool. really now when it came to basketball, why did that stop for you that it had just ended and there was too many things happening really really? That was it, how far did you go with basketball? uh, like how good I was or how Well, that's how far you went, maybe you were part of some organizational team after a like, when I entered the ninth grade of high school, I was no longer playing and I regret that decision making, looking back and seeing how it all played out, hell no.

Because I don't even want to be a Hooper about that when you were playing, but what position were you playing? I was a point guard and you had a favorite jersey number back then. I think my was like five, number five. and it was something that they gave you or something that you asked for, uh, I think it was like the OD like the one 2 3 4 five six to 10 I think that was the last one, nobody really likes any real double digit number, so I think I got five and speaking of numbers, I forgot to ask you this earlier in another part of the questions, but when it comes to your stage name, is there any

meaning

behind the

1700

part?

Yes, just a block, just out of curiosity. Now is there anything else you want to mention about your best friend or a question you weren't asked. People want to know about him. No.
