FULL SHOW: Ye Live Streams His ‘Bully’ Album; Fans Saying ‘Old Kanye Is Back’ + Fetty Wap & Tim Shriver Interview

·1 hr 36 min·5 clips

Fetty Wap explains why he cut off friends after prison and how he's treating himself like a superstar now.

The segment is built around the return and the reaction to it. The conversation turns on a guest explaining that, when he records, he likes to bring friends he met in prison into the studio. He keeps the circle small, usually around five, six, or seven people, so he can see how they react while he is recording. The hosts pick up on that quickly and ask how he was received when he came home. He says the reception was good. He remembers popping out with A Boogie and seeing other artists around him, and the discussion points to the support now surrounding the project. Still, he keeps coming back to the gap between then and now. He says people were not rocking with him the way they say they do now. He does not smooth that over. Instead, he talks about being surprised by the love, and about the feeling of being forgotten, or thinking he had been forgotten, while he was locked up. That is what gives the exchange its weight. The rest of the audio includes unrelated iHeart podcast promos, but this is the part that carries the emotional core.
