YG Speaks After Shooting and Announces Sophomore Album Title

YGOn the heels of being shot on June 12, Compton rapper sat down with Billboard magazine to talk about his recent assault and discuss his new album.

Read an excerpt below:

Did you really not see who shot you? What do you think their motivation was? Was it gang-related?

It was not gang-related at all. It just happened out of the blue. We don’t know who did it, we don’t know why. We don’t know nothing.

What was going through your mind when it happened?

Survival. After I got shot, I’m telling everybody, “Take me to the hospital, because I can’t die.” We hop in my homie’s car and bam — we got in a car accident! We hit an island trying to avoid another car. We had to hop out of the totaled car, hop in another car. At the hospital we had to tell people, “Take me serious right now — you don’t even understand what’s going on.” It was wild.

How are you feeling now?

I’m good. I left the hospital that night, and the next day I went back to the studio. Nobody wanted me to go. My mama tells me, “What are you talking about ‘going to the studio?’” But you know, I got shit to do — this shit don’t stop for nobody. I came straight to the studio on my little crutches.
