G Herbo discusses his new album '25' and how he wants to be remembered as one of the greats in hip-hop.
, Herbo, now a father who lives 2,000 miles from his childhood home, takes stock of his life as he settles into adulthood. We spoke with him about the finer details of his recording process, adjusting to Los Angeles, and the ways he’d be unrecognizable to himself as a teen.Fatherhood. Everything revolving around my kids, having to do interviews with my son on my lap. I never pictured myself doing this — or living in L.A. I used to rap about being in L.A.
The harsh realities of the world. Not having to deal with a lot of violence and negative shit going on, I’ll have to actually teach my kids that the world is cruel and violent. They’re not going to have to experience it firsthand. I’ll have to instill certain things into them so they understand what they’re up against. But I would have to teach my sons how to fight rather than letting them go outside where they’re going to teach themselves.
Specifically, I just look for a lot of instruments. I like beats with a lot of sounds in them. I never really get in the studio looking for a specificof beat; I never get in with a subject I want to talk about specifically. Usually, the production moves me. It motivates me to talk about what I [end up] talking about on the song. So I usually don’t get in the studio saying, ‘I need this kind of beat,’ or ‘I need to make a song about this.
I usually write on my phone. A lot of times when I’m in the house, I’ll get four or six bars coming into my head, and I’ll write them down — with no beat. A lot of my rhymes come to me that way. I’ll have them in my phone, then when I’m in the studio, and I feel a beat, I’ll go right in and do ‘em. I don’t write at all [at that point] unless I’m inspired to write about a certain subject. Even then in the studio, I’ll [only] write in the studio for 15, 20 minutes.
