![]() All hip-hop-Run-D.M.C., Jay, Tupac, Biggie, Eric B & Rakim. I thought he was great.Īt what age was this, and what else were you listening to? They just didn’t like his flow, but for some reason, I caught up to it I loved it, it was cool to me, it resonated to me. I was the one always going around saying how hard he was, how dope he was, when all my friends were saying he was terrible. I’ve been a fan of his music for a long time. ![]() How did you did you and 2 Chainz come to know each other? For me, being in this position means a lot. We just need to continue to support one another. So for me to be able to push all this, and let these kids know that we have so much to tell-so many great stories. I’m doing a TV series with Octavia Spencer. I’m all about pushing the African-American culture. that’s why I’m happy to be a part of this. I think the position that we’re in as African-Americans, to be able to continue to push our culture. I think it has a spiritual stand it has a very passionate stand it has a hood-excellence stand.

Everything I do, I’m still trying to make my mom proud. So this was just organic to me.Ībsolutely, absolutely.

Wearing a red-and-blue parka, navy sweatpants, Nike Air Max2 Light shoes, and a black durag, his eyes light up and he looks like a kid when he talks about the hip-hop music he loves, and his role as executive producer on the celebrated rapper 2 Chainz’s new album, Rap or Go to the League. LeBron’s presence is massive, and not only because he is a tall, muscular man his charisma just fills the room. He sits with me for a rare one-on-one chat in a private room off the set at the Shear Excellence barbershop, where he will eventually join 2 Chainz, Meek Mill, Maverick Carter, Jamie Foxx, Anthony Davis, Antonio Brown, and Jerrod Carmichael to tape the latest episode of The Shop, his Uninterrupted-co-produced show which airs on HBO. All-Star Weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, LeBron James is probably relieved, for a change, to just talk about music.
