Here's 7 Lil Nas X quotes from his new Apple Music Q&A
Georgia rapper Lil Nas X has ample reasons to celebrate his non-stop level ups these days. So of course he’s linking up with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe to talk everything from his new ‘Star Walkin’ single to the revealing his all-time favorite Drake album.
Needless to say, there’s a lot to take in. So to make life a little easier, here’s 7 solid quotes from the chop up session.
1. Lil Nas X Tells Apple Music About Creating "STREET WALKIN’”...
I'm not really much of a gamer anymore. I haven't been since a teenager. But for whatever reason, I have a huge gamer fan base, and this is sick for them. Go, them. Making this song was a lot of fun. I had the verses forever, and it took, no joke, 30 different, 40 different 50, I don't know how many different hooks, to get the hook to a place where I'm, "Okay, this is something I like. That's cool." But overall I had a fun time in the studio. I had a fun time putting these pop elements and drill elements together. I thought it was really cool.
2. Lil Nas X Tells Apple Music About The Origin of The Collaboration…
They were, "Hey, we have some money." No, I'm kidding. No, I actually thought it was super dope that a gaming company that's so big wanted to work with me. And I thought it was so... As I said, I, for whatever reason, have that huge gamer fan base, and they they're going up for this, so…Yeah. Sick.
3. Lil Nas X Tells Apple Music About Hanging Out with Madonna and Her Words of Encouragement…
She came to my show last night. And it was a full circle moment because she brought me back to her show in 2019. So yeah, that was cool. Actually, I didn't actually get a chance to get a good conversation with her because I was about to go out onto the stage. And as I told you earlier, I have to sh** from nervousness. That's exactly what I had to tell her when I went out onto the stage. But she told me she's going to be there and rooting for me and stuff like that. And that was really cute and sweet. And I was, "That's so dope. Madonna's at my f***ing show, bro."
4. Lil Nas X Tells Apple Music About Making a Splash at Fashion Week…
I'm going to be 100% serious: I did not know the thing that I was going to be doing for the Vogue World event was such a huge thing. I thought it was going to be a little, intimate fashion show thing and not like I'm walking with Serena Williams and sitting next to Anna Wintour, and Kanye West is across from me. And I'm sitting right next to Morbius. I feel like once I first started doing anything kind of sparkly, out there, and really flashy, I was, "Oh, I'm not the person to be doing this." But now I'm, "Yeah, I'm that bitch, so I can do that.”
5. Lil Nas X Tells Apple Music About His Current Creative Spirit and Upcoming Music…
My creative spirit is honestly in the garbage can. I want to be completely honest. But I feel like it's coming back. Yeah, I'm not worried because I know it's going to come and I know it's going to be the best s**t I've ever made thus far. I'm just super confident in that, and I'm just happy to be in the in-between right now.
6. Lil Nas X Tells Apple Music About His Current Tour and Finding Confidence On Stage…
The tour's actually going great. I'm able to really find my confidence on that stage. And I feel like I have to poop less and less every night. Because usually, I have the nerves so bad, but I feel like they get more and more calm every night. And that's cool.
7. Lil Nas X Tells Apple Music His Favorite Drake Album is ’Scorpion’…
Honestly and maybe not the most popular opinion my favorite Drake is like Scorpion Drake. Scorpion just hit the mark it was when I started making music it was really inspirational
