2 Chainz Talks Getting Cursed Out by Melo, His Best One Liners, the Hit Song He Passed On & More

About this episode

2 Chainz discusses his experiences with Melo, his creative process, and his new book.

2 Chainz pulls up to the Hook and it goes left early. He tells the story of getting cursed out by Melo during a run, breaks down his game, and why he still carries that competitive edge every time he steps on the court. From there, he gets into some of his best one liners, how they come together, and the mindset behind the way he talks and creates. He also opens up about a hit song he passed on and how he approaches decisions like that, plus what’s been guiding him throughout his career. The conversation circles back to his new book The Voice In My Head Is God and how trusting that inner voice has shaped everything from trapping, to music, and business.
