That’s why that little tabloid National Enquirer was very successful when I was growing up, because all they did was tell bullshit lies.” The National Enquirer is still around!

Even though reality TV is staged, people still base their ideas around it-being nosy, wanting to know about other people, or negative things. With reality TV, that’s really what a lot of shit today is based on. A lot of new, unexplainable shit going on there. What do you think of the circus that is the 2016 presidential election? In real life, however, the topic makes 2 Chainz pretty uncomfortable. “a brokered convention,” in ways only he can. This, he reiterates, might still be in the cards-though some have questioned whether he satisfies the residency qualifications.Īll this talk of past peccadilloes has, it seems, inspired the rapper to reach into his pocket for a perfectly rolled blunt and fire it up.Īnd on the subject of politics, The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore recently began airing a segment titled, “2 Chainz Explains,” featuring the artist describing what political terms mean, e.g. Yes, last year 2 Chainz told the Atlanta-Journal Constitution of his plan to run for mayor of College Park, Georgia, by the end of 2016. “I might be the mayor in a minute, so I don’t even need to be talkin’ about stuff like that,” he adds. “I got into some trouble, went somewhere else, and came back,” says 2 Chainz. He played D-I basketball at Alabama State before transferring to Virginia State after his freshman year, due to circumstances he won’t go into. Despite his extracurricular activities, he still managed to graduate second in his class, earning a scholarship to Alabama State. At 15, he was busted for felony cocaine possession. He played ball at North Clayton High School, dealing weed on the side. It turns out the man formerly known as Tauheed Epps was blessed with a jump shot. “Bitches love the kid, niggas rock with the kid because they know he must have some athletic background-which is some solid shit for me, because when you’re 6-foot-5 from the hood you should have a jump shot, finger roll, curveball, or something like that.” “I’m 6-foot-5, roughly 225,” says 2 Chainz, matter-of-factly. Together, they resemble a hip-hop exclamation point.

We’re huddled together in the towering MC’s Mercedes minibus, a temporary fix used to transport him from venue to venue down in Austin, Texas, where he’s performing a series of shows during SXSW to promote his new album ColleGrove-a collaboration with his mentor Lil Wayne, and a tribute to the man he says is “one of the greatest that’s ever lived” (the title is a portmanteau of his native College Park, Georgia, and Hollygrove, Weezy’s hometown in New Orleans). This is all, of course, on brand coming from the man who hosts a web series for GQ titled Most Expensivest Shit and once spit, “Hair long, money long / Me and broke niggas we don’t get along,” but a jarring intro nonetheless. As his fingers, each one wreathed in really big gold rings, move the bills into sequential order-tens and twenties to the center, hundreds to the outside-it dawns on me that the rapper is counting out about three months in cold, hard New York City rent. It’s stored in a wad, held together quite precariously by a pair of rubber bands.
