“Hey, im sittin here with a couple of my black homies and they wanna hear you rap,” and im like “why? I just got school im not tryin to rap to motherfuckers…” so I would start rappin and all of his homies was like “damn, dude is alright.”
Literally my dad would call me from work after I’d get home and he would be like. So being like a little white kid walkin around… “I like big butts and I cannot lie…” people saw something there. “Baby Got Back,” was really my first rap song that I memorized, at like 10 years old. Over the years though they grew quite accustomed to it. Because like growing up in a white household my parents weren’t too fond of rap in the beginning. I was probably exposed to more rap before that but that was just like the first song that I really memorized. Was that song the first one that you were really exposed to? Was there something before that? Tell us a little bit about “Baby Got Back,” and really just your first exposure to hip hop in general that you can remember. I had always knew that I had talent and they would just not take no for an answer. I really got to give the major shout outs to my high school friends. Before I met 3 6 Mafia, I had about 4 real homies that really just stayed on my ass about makin it. They really pushed me to go through high school and even after school. My homies actually guided me because I had about 3 homies that were really big into music that knew that I was goin to be somethin someday and they really just stayed on my ass. Really though, I just really stuck with my homies. I was part of the Shelby Forest Click, which definitely gave me a little bit of direction when it comes to music wise.
Whatever… but no, 9th grade, high school my best friend was Lil Black, he actually gave me the name Lil Wyte. (Room attendant’s saying “Housekeeping.”) I don’t even know where we slept last night, I just literally woke up in a Motel 6. With your music you have discussed the artists that have inspired you creatively, but who were the people on a personal level that inspired Lil Wyte? Who were the most important people to you then that helped you to find your direction? Growing up in Memphis was very, very different. I always hung out with older people too, very different from me. I actually got down with a cool group of people when I was young. If you hung around with some bullshit people there is high, high chances of being fucked with and you know, bullshit happening. If you grew up in Memphis, Tennessee in the 90’s and you hung around good people then you were actually alright. They basically taught me the ropes, what to do and what not to do, you know. They practically raised me the same as my parents. I lucked out man I just had a lot of good friends, I learned from a lot of cool mothafucka’s that I grew up around. If you was a weak ass mothafucka it was pretty hard. Growing up in Memphis, it actually wasn’t hard if you was cool. Share with us your experiences growing up in Memphis. So let’s give your fans a look into the real life of, Lil Wyte. You have done things in this game that other artists have not done and may never do. In many ways you are a legend in hip hop whether everyone agrees with that or not.
Well, Wyte this interview is about showcasing your life. Jellyroll who was featured once with us before and who is following up this interview with his own next, gave us some very important advice when it came to the insight into the life of Wyte.ĭude we were kickin it with like 50 lesbian’s last night. The fucked up part about that answer is that it’s kind of what I expected you to say. I literally just woke up and my road manager said I had an interview in 5 minutes.
