Every time I listen to MGK speak, I respect him more and more. The man has maturity that a lot of 25 year olds don't. He has a lot of understanding that really shows when he speaks his mind. I can't wait to see him grow even more, I'll be standing behind him and his music.

Damn I think he's so attractive

He has gorgeous facial features; he would make a good model.

I love this type of interviews, im sick of hearing questions about dating life or whatever bullshit, let's talk about real things, let's talk about music, about feelings and struggles. Im glad he said all of this, I think he should loosen up and do what makes him happy, balance is everything, keep it real but don't miss out on opportunities, fans come and go, even if you don't sell out some of em will leave you for another artists, some others will get older and be too busy, others will change music style; fans come and go, the most important thing is what you think about yourself. Love you Kells

One of the realist dudes out here! Wow you can really see the vulnerability

Didn't expect this interview to get this deep I wanna give him a hug 😕

throughout the past 2 years... this kid has proved himself over n over and as of today, he has my full respect as an Artist, but as a Person First! GREAT INTERVIEW! a must see! Keep your head up kid !

I'm glad Laura and Rosenberg wasn't there it wouldn't be this serious and mellow it would be all about amber and other bullshidd

Woah, I've not even really listened to his music because for some reason I presumed he was a shallow rapper. One of the realest interviews. This dude is an inspiration for real and I appreciate his music so much more now. Fucking beautiful.

This man is one of the realest people I know. Growing up not far from him and knowing him before the fame, he is truly an amazing person. He's afraid of the failure and what others from Cleveland will think since normally nothing good happens to people from Cleveland. He got fame WITHOUT RADIO - how many artists can say that??? Of course he would get even bigger if he put his records on the radio but he wants to reach out to those small towns who can related. Keep is up Kells - I love you man! #LandTilIDie

This was a real interview. One of the better ones this year.

You either understand MGK, his music, everything he represents and stands for or you don't. And those who don't understand, never will .

MGK out here acting like he's gonna off himself word up. Hope not, but that's the feeling I get.

18:00 This is real conversation not about money drugs and all the "Rap" garbage. Some of us make music just because its therapy for ourselves and we know someone else may need to feel like they are not alone. Sometimes it just takes the right emotion to motivate you not to do something stupid. I've had dark times and I put it into my songs just so kids that have or are in that place know that I and many others have made it to the "Other Side"

Amazing interview. I've never listened to MGK but after seeing how genuine of a person he is, i fux with it

MGK is about the most real artist with his own style that I have seen in a long time. Who writes about real shit. It really hits home because he is so real. And does not need to go main stream for a fan base. He got his fans on his own just from being so real and true to his fans. Who I actually think he cares about. I fell in love with his music and style from the first song. He had me at hello. Lol There will never be any one like him. I tell my 16 year old son hey yo, you need to check this guy out. He's bad ass lol

bEST hot97 interview in a while love the show

This is the calmest I've seen mgk

Incredible interview and honesty from MGK, I've grown new respect for this man...insight and this is from 2015

Wow. This interview was everything an interview should be. Everybody brought something. I was entertained, I felt sad, happy, I laughed a lot. This was real. This was a new MGK that I had hoped to meet since the day I heard chip off the block & fell in love. I'm so proud of this dude. I truly don't understand why he doesn't have more recognition. Maybe that's a good thing? I don't know. I'll have my old 27 year old self at fEST this year. I'll be posted up in the Canadian corner, come say what's up. Lace up. When's the date??

I really like MGK he cold and his energy looks so live at his shows great interview Ebro

"When keeping it real goes wrong" should be the title for his whole career. People don't support the truth and that's all he speaks! So if ur here for that i fucks with u💝 #estforlife

Awesome interview. .. i was just watching and old vegas video of him about a week ago.. ~PorchialeanLarkin

Ebro is a wild dude, bahahahaha! Great interview! MGK seems like a chill dude. That song in the beginning of the video with the girl singing... that is that one! That's it right there, that track. The beat go hard too with the vocals, WHAT!

I NEEEEED to know about EST Fest!!!!!!!!!!! I'm excited for the 2nd album but I hope for a 3rd EST Fest this year! I went to the 1st 2 (the 1st was the best!). It is my get away from work and shit.

MGK is a going to be a big deal I really think people are going to look back at his body of work and really see the story. That's something I think is missing from hiphop as whole for a long time now!!!

The last 3 minutes of the interview had me rolling!!!!!!!!! XD

mgks music makes you feel different. all the pain goes away. best/realest artist ever

This is like the heaviest rapper interview of all time

his impression of going super saiyan at 35:20 had me dyin

One of the realest interviews ive heard on here

way more respect for this dude now.. great interview.

Incredibly insightful interviewer with age experienced words. making it to the other side, not going over the edge. All valid points to take on. Great interview >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Great interview. Subscribed.

I love the way he looks At women sigh

This is a really good interview. I don't really listen to his music, but I understand him more than a lot of these other entertainers.

Good interview

real shit bro ! keep strong! i looked up to u, that what makes me rap good.

Been waiting on a new MGK interview!

Stoked he shouted out Billings Montana

You are doing really good 🖤

Never have I...found an artist that is okay with losing money in order to stay authentic MGK is that artist. It's not easy to uphold that and I think everyone can see that it's been weighing down on him...everyone that is Est everyone that throws them Ls up can feel his pain like I do...Mgk is someone who views the world like I do which is a pretty good feeling being able to identify with the good and the bad...the movement Lace up has gotten me through some tough times in my own life I'm blessed by his music, and personality

Why is mgk so fucking slept on like real shit he one best out mane

Ebro always starts imitating the energy and speech patterns of the person he's interviewing lol

I love coming back and watching this💕💕 and look where he's at now.. He deserves everything✖✖ EST for life🖤

it's like that song by j.cole love yourz right. he kinda talked about how's there's beauty in the struggle and ugliness in the success. that's true for so many artists. I really like though how truthful he is. how a person who is in a spotlight can show vulnerability and be truthful you know. he's real I like that

MGK seemed crazy depress and the fame got to his head He needs some time off Even though he's been off for a while now

You can see MGK can't take fame. That's what people tend to fail to see. Everyone want to be famous but you don't understand how many cons come with fame then pro. Like everyone we like the fame, the singing, the clothes and a lot that. I think that's what MGK saw. But when it comes over powerful, more then the human eye can handle, it can destroy you. It can turn you to someone you are not. MGK is the realist artist ever. I will always be his fan. Do what makes you happy man. Life is short. MGK FOREVER

I don't listen to this on radio, but watch the shit out of it on here...love it...hope this shit sticks around...I like radio and the whole set up..i just never really listen to or try to listen to radio, but if I can have the chance to listen on radio, I definitely would. Ebro is a great interesting interviewer. MGK is the shit btw. Legit good, great rapper. deserves that title of REAL RAPPER. hes good. end of story. not everyone can rap like that and have their own flow and persona. his music is quality shit. love that shit.

Was seeing seeing a little LIGHT in this interview when they started talking about his fans EST around 22 mins. In the end this video real as fuck and really opened up my eyes. This industry can be very tough to stay YOURSELF in ya know

I ain't excepting greatness all the time, I just excepting you to be you.

great listen. MGK just got a new fan cause he's so real. Preciate this bro

Much love to this guy. He's a good dude with dope music.

realest interveiw if seen in a long time made me think alot about smh

2021 I'm here! Mgk is a rockstar now yess tickets to my downfall is one of your best albums mgk you can do it all

when mgk talk about abandoment and being numb gave me chills cause that's how I feel

Bout to message len and see how Ure doin.. This is scaring me.. I never really got into your music, but you and Len are "partners", lmaoo so I've always felt for you.. He always told me when I've said I've heard he was a jerk he'd say "he's jus different". Now I get it man.. U got depression and anxiety... I do too.. I kud only imagine how it is wit spot light on u... God bless.. I hope I hear Ure doing better...

he seems real sweet too like he's just a down to earth person , like he has his days but most of the timw

Who notices weezy's platinum albums in the background?

He's got lzzy hale on the album....I'm deff buying it

That was an awesome interview. Say what you want but I'm glad to see someone from my generation fighting to keep it real and not be all about what is socially acceptable or "popular". Can't wait for that new album.

8:14 is so me lmao

That waffle truck story just made me a big fan of this dude..

48:49 Young man young man, i dont wanna hear dat no mo.

Yes! bring fEST to the UK, PLEEEEASE

He’s absolutely gorgeous and talented and so down to earth and I’d love to meet him

Yassss North Dakota lol born and raised and I almost shit myself when it came out your mouth! Come back please ,would love to come to your show :)

I Love You MGK!!!!!!!!!!

That was a good interview. Get him back there before he leaves town after the movie.

Hell of a talented young man with so much heart. And soul.

Mgk is and has been one of the realest out there. Lace up

Sorry to be a newbie to this stuff but who is the bearded man doing the interview? Im just curious because I found his honesty and intelligence very refreshing. Not what I was expecting at all.

come to fresno, ca

MGK signing to Bad Boy was a silly idea.You're better off being independent than signing with that label.

good song mgk much love from australia!

Why did this only pop up six years later? Lol... YT algos are weird.. 😂 Also so crazy to be watching this in 2021. Oh how have times changed....

had to watch this again after 2 months really thought the dude was just whining was wrong the guy seems like hes at a point in his life where hes learning and seeing truth in so many things. transition.

31:40 - 31:53 I feel you. Im at the same point

Ebro's Boogie Down Productions shirt tho..

This was hard to watch. I feel like he is so lost not so much with his music but mentally. Seems so unhappy he's been taking a lot of other peoples feelings and making them his. Unless it's an act. Seems real though

Hes a breathe of fresh air. He will do well in whatever he does. This is the bEST interview ive seen in a while. Mgk!!!

REPRESENTING CLEVELAND! damn.. love love loveeee MGK!!!❤️

31:58 Same.

FUCK YES! Hailstrom is gonna be on the album! That song is gonna be kick ass!

Why are so many people hating on Kells? he is my favorite artist. It just pisses me off that no one wants to see a White boy, work his ass off to make it to where he wants to be. He never had it easy. This is Rap at its bEST.

So is there going to be an EST Fest this year????

"I have alot of street credibility" lmaooo

Looks like people told MGK to stop being himself..... and the worst part is, he's listening to them. He is losing track mid sentence cause he has to think about what he needs to say instead of just saying what he really wants... Go look at an interview from a year or two ago... MGK being himself.

He is so underestimated in many ways!

I don't care who your with and what you do i stand with you MGK, keep your chin up, can't wait to see you at the show

Am I the only one that thinks Marisa should be in on some of the interviews, instead of Laura Stylez? Not throwing shade at all, but she's more vocal and more into the interview. That being said, her and MGK seem to be friends, so I guess that may be why, too. My two cents lol.

Do you think Bone Thugs look at that '71' on your arm, and just say 'BOOM'?.... Dope. #ClevelandLove

To all the haters saying mgk is depressed. You do know your perception of someone else is truly your own perception of yourself. He speaks from his heart. Whats wrong with that? No one knows what fame brings, good and bad. Personally I feel I would fucking hate it. Trying to upkeep a reputation that the public so eagerly expects of you.Fuck that. I get the impression, yes mgk is fed up of the bullshit associated with fame.That does not mean he is depressed. From studying his music, his life and watching all relevant footage regards him (theres shitloads btw) mgk is truly is humorous, doesnt suffer fools lightly, enjoys what normal a life he has left and is incredibly patriotic when it comes to his home ground. He has no interest in trying to impress the higher archy within the music industry and thats what I love about him. Let the ass lickers run up there labels asses, distort their true personality for media recognition and at the end of all that lose themselves to "fame".

I like this guy

this is kinda like earl's interview with npr

I LOOOOVE THE WAY MGK SPEAKS MMM YUMMMMMY :

Yes finally put my dude on man! #LaceUp

wearing an MGK shirt here in France!!!

I truly do feel like I'm family. Est for life

Honestly I don't think his fans would mind one single bit if he released mainstream (Corney shit in hie eyes) then released like a mixtape every year with the shit the fans really want to hear, I think you can go do your side shit, that the mainstream will like, then return back to home with a mixtape for your fans, I don't think your true true fans would mind if you pursued other avenues so you can be more financially secure. Your fans have to understand one thing, If you don't make money, you can't continue releasing music for them, that's basically what it comes down to. Studio time is not free. Also I don't think your fans would want future fans that really need you to be deprived of you and your help strictly because they don't know about you, you have to become mainstream and maybe do a little Corney shit to be able to show yourself to the masses so they can become fans, if that makes sense.
