I dont ever try to make a song better than my last song. I just try to make it different from my last one.
Can't nobody do what Fetty Wap does. So when I go to the studio, it may be four to five hours max, probably three days out the week. I used to go to the studio for 10 to 15 hours, and I would do five to 10 songs. Now I go for four to five hours and I do, like, 15 to 20 songs. I'm an ad lib guy. Most people know me for my ad libs.
I really moved fast, bro. I don't want a big selection, because I don't want myself in between nobody else's problems, basically. Like, if I know these two people going at it, I'm not about to make a song with either one of them.
Once I come up with the concept, the rest of the song just comes.
The first song I did was over a Chief Keef beat - Understand Me. I did that in, like, 2011 or 2012, I think.
To see that people appreciate the work that I put in to make these songs for them, that's what makes me care. I don't care about being Fetty Wap.
A lot of people got something to prove. If I had something to prove, I proved it already, so why do I have to go showboat? Like, I don't say I got the hottest song in the world. And, personally, I think otherwise.
The first song I did was over a Chief Keef beat - 'Understand Me.' I did that in, like, 2011 or 2012, I think.
I was always able to get money, but now it's a little bit more money, and I manage the same way. I just want to see my family do better.
People don't really call me a rapper. They call me Mr. 'Trap Queen'. The 'Trap Queen' Guy.
If only the people around you know you're an artist, then you're doing something wrong.
I don't ever try to make a song better than my last song. I just try to make it different from my last one.
There's gonna be a lot of great songs, but there ain't going to be another 'Trap Queen.'
Oh man, I would definitely love to work with Kanye on something. But it really is all up to him, so whatever he wants to do, I'm with it.
