I went to his concert and he said oh my God I can't believe how many of you are hear I'm so nervous right now and u could tell he was genuinely happy and appreciated it.

You can hear in his voice a lot of pain and suffering. I hope he gets to where he wants to go.

“ Comparison is the killer of all joy “ I wholeheartedly believe this

Kevin gates growth and maturity are so amazing! Blessings to everyone reading this. One love 🤠🤙🏽🖤

When he started rapping. You could see how hurt he is. Idk if he was about to cry but I was about too. I’ve been there man. Watched so many make it off of me. Music was one of them and also the one that really hurts me the most because I helped make a lot of people and never got the respect I deserve while they’re imitating me. Man that stuff hurts

I love when he quotes himself with his lyrics. He rap stuff that’s so true and real that he can just quote himself when he preaching.

Gates stay quoting his own music lyrics during a regular conversation 💀💀

At the end of the day, you can’t force people to feel some type of way. People do what they do and feel how they feel. That’s just life Mr.Gates.

One of your best interviews! He dropped a lot of gems.

Gates lyrics speak to the soul.

gotta admit his music has lifted me out of rock-bottom all alone had me Pullin my broken carcass up and fighting back like a lion real lyrics touch the heart and soul

AK is on a ROLL with these uploads…… A JELLY ROLL

This screwed world needs people like Kevin.

Man is so talented and has truly one of the best voices to ever grace this earth. He doesn't need any editing, just a mic. I pray he finds his peace.

Bro, I subbed, this is the best interview I have seen in a while. You let the man talk. And he spoke well. Dude woke up for real. And not the TV woke. Real woke. This dude gets my respect.

“Comparison is the killer of joy.”

This man is an angel man I love his energy he’s saved me from doing the same thing

That's the power of music!

Nothing but respect for Gates. The entire interview is nothing but GOLD

I hate that Kevin thought he was underappreciated, he is one of my favorite artists. I got 8 of his projects downloaded that I love and a whole lot more that I listen to. Damn Big Gates, I love you bruh!! All praise to the Most High!!

4:25 even the phone said "wtf he just say" 😂

Been with gates since 2010 he a real one all the way 💯 we appreciate you g

I've been rockin with Gates and this man music keeps getting better and better consistently 💯💯💯

True statement from Gates right here about loving yourself!

I love this guy! He's such an inspiration

Great voice. Your music helped me alot through high-school and dealing with heroin

This album and promoteing this album helped me get up and sing Kevin Gates music in the city of Buffalo NY when I shouldn't have walked ever again..that was 3 years ago now.thank you Gates for your music...much respect

Kevin a legend and I’m glad he realized it before it was too late. I know what it feels like to lose all hope in life to where the only way out in your mind is suicide. I’m goin thru it rn and tbh I don’t know if imma ever recover but listening to him speak about his struggles with mental health gives me some peace of mind.

Great interview & deep conversation. Something we all need to hear👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Honestly the realest shit I have ever heard I love listening to gates speak💯

I'm Glad Bro is in a better place mental health is key ..

Gates a certified legend

Kevin one of the greatest of all time this guy a legend for real

I personally didn't listen to Gates when he 1st came out but watching videos of him talking I started liken him as a person now I enjoy his music! He's 100%

This is actually one of the best interviews I watched on here

Gates done grew so much and became so strong I swear I respect Gates and I fuck wit his music so hard it's like I an relate I cant even put into words

this was dope gates ... i appreciate you sharing your pain homie...

When DJ academic said “I got so many questions “I died lol

Dam man gates is so well spoken. Don't listen to much of his music. Do listen to a few collabs. But I wish he would do a short show. Like a lil podcast. His interviews are always enlightening. Thanks Kevin

This interview hit home , got my respect

He really does express himself even when societies fake it till you make frowns upon this... #BlessedGates

Kevin Gates is a Legend

Goin threw the pains of $$ and a healthy relationship rn...Kevin dont stop tellin me the truth

Honesty is Godly. Salute

I love that man he 100 real

Been here before and sometimes I still feel this way and yet I’m always pushing through because I think of the people that care about me the most which is my parents and that’s it. I wanted to check out 3 years ago but thankfull I had music to keep me sane and working out so I can relate to Kevin gates as far as not being appreciated cause I been feeling like that my entire life and had to cut off a lot of people from my past(basically everyone) cause they didn’t appreciate me

Him talking about hiding his truth through that fake smile that's me all day everyday I have to make a decision to live.

Kevin gates music got me out of some very tough times

Feeling like nobody cares or understands or cares to understand is like da worst feeling

I just want to take a second to appreciate this man’s integrity and intelligence.

Man that was deep! I remember being happy with any car smh now I need more 😪

Dam Kevin you speaking the truth!

Ak been dropping back to back

That man AK came a long way as well just like gates he grew & stepping his platform up 💪🏽 💯

That freestyle 😭🎯

Gates = Prince x DMX

This was a good interview piece.

💯 “comparison is the killer of all joy”.

When u a real one u dont ever get the respect u deserve And 4 yall I rock a lot of pretty feathers.

I grew up listening to rap, but phased out as rap took a different direction and lost the raw lyrics. Kevin Gates is one of the few rappers that I make an effort to keep up with

✊🏾❤️ Much respect Gates

I know that feeling!

When they get to know you, ITS DIFFERENT 🔥

another great one

Kevin Gates is what I've always jammed in whatever way I'm feeling He always speaks facts and truths in his music doesn't matter if its straight up Gangsta is straight Truth

Best feeling in the world family happy makes me happy

He don't get tired

Big AK IN THE BUILDING 💪

This man is keep it real, he's out of the Matrix

Kevin Gates, Your voice has absolutely and utterly soothed my being from the first time I heard you. During my lowest, Your voice, your song, was part of my self healing. Really part of my ability to grieve a great loss. Your song is ancestral, it rings and resonates so powerfully, a tone distinct brilliant purity. I’m so grateful you have worked so hard to not only find and refine and stabilize your vibration so deeply rooted in your fundamental spirit, but to also fight to graciously share your glorious gift with all of us. In the car back and forth beside myself in grief and enduring the devastation of betrayal and malevolence from the closest to me, not anybody was with me, no one knows the depths of turmoil and relentless agony I encountered alone in my car for those several months going back n forth to get out of a bad way. I felt you were there though, through your music. You are inherently a chief, a protective force, and also a non-judge mental companion to any and all who resonate with you. It is no wonder the base and immoral shit we see all over the industry, an undeniable vicious and diseased industry at the top, that YOU, Kevin Gates, could not coexist with the likes of those “musicians”. It’s incredibly formidable and valiant that despite all that you did what ever had to happen to invent the frequency and channel that so many of us have benefitted from tuning into! I’ll never forget the first time my ex showed me one of ur songs. I sat there amazed and then immediately dove into everything you had done up to that point. It was great timing because, auspicious rather, cus that’s when you just unleashed sooooooo much monumental music and it’s like the universe lined every new song up right when I was creeping up too close with feeling so alone and so sad. God I pray that you , Kevin, may be surrounded by and loved and supported by the most outstanding human beings in the planet. I pray you are loved and cherished and seen and acknowledged for your vibrant essence and strength of spirit. The wisdom and gift of song that you behold is, to me, a true reflection of gods work. It is not easy to be created w such a gift, it takes a special being to be you and you are doing nothing but.
