If one more person says that Chief Keef is a kid I’m going to scream! This dude is months shy of turning 18 (legal age). He knows the difference between right and wrong. I can say that this interview dropped my dislike for Chief Keefs image a little lower (A LITTLE).
Rovan “Dro” Manuel, Keef’s manager was able to sit down for an interview to catch us up on the Chicago born artist and the the city itself.
Dro informs us that contrary to what artists like Lupe Fiasco says, there are no kids playing with toys. “You tell me one person on the West Side of Chicago in the hood that’s riding around on a skateboard. That’s not happening. No disrespect to Lupe, but you know, let’s keep it real and that’s what Keef’s all about, keeping it real.” That’s sad to know for the people. It started with the generation before every child. What happened in the windy city? Drop down bottom for more of the interview.
So what exactly happened on the day Chief Keef was scheduled to fly to Las Vegas to shoot the “Hate Being Sober” video?
Aww man. I don’t know exactly what happened with that. The label hooked it up and they set it up with Keef and they didn’t set it up with Keef’s team. So, when it came time to fly out, he missed the first flight. Then he missed the second one. And then it was just like, you know, “Well we gonna come do it at another date, if that’s fine with you.” [Laughs.] It was nothing other than that, you know, all the rumors…
It was miscommunication.
Yeah, miscommunication. And a lot of people in the game looked at videos and do videos a lot different than we do. We just wake up one day and just feel like doing a video and we do it. Not you know, “We’re gonna do this on the 17th of this month, and we’re gonna do it at this time, and we’re gonna” — we haven’t shot videos like that. That’s not how we do it. It’s like, “Call up D. Gainz or call up such-and-such, let’s shoot something today.” We wasn’t ready to shoot nothing, we wasn’t in that mood, you know what I mean?
