Well, I’ve done drugs since I was 16 years old. You mentioned a comparison between Edie’s drug use and yours. I feel like her story is one of the most tragic stories that took place in the 60’s during the pop art movement. I just felt there was a really big connection between my life and her life, in comparison to the drugs and the social scene where everything was based on pop culture. It was a relationship that was under wraps because he left her around the time Andy Warhol kicked her out of The Factory. It’s a crazy story because Bob Dylan and Edie Sedgwick use to date in the 60’s. He was really into Andy Warhol and a lot of classic rock, and his favorite artist was Bob Dylan. The situation with Edie stems from a relationship I was in with a guy who makes music as well. Well to jump back to what you were saying about Edie, how did that love for her and her becoming your muse come into play? I actually prefer Casey Veggie over Lil B. It’s like opening up a new genre of rap and hip-hop.ĭo you feel the same way about Lil B and his movement? Even though they’re rap, they’re being considered as rock and roll. And I just love that they’re really free-spirited and outgoing and they’ve captivated the hipster culture with what they’re doing. The things that they say remind me of the thoughts that go on in my head and that I might tweet from time to time. I love the fact that they’re just straight up twisted. I don’t think it’s a sense of rebellion I think it’s more so people just being who they are and not afraid to be that. They had great stuff going on like Woodstock, and I feel like our generation is headed that way, you know? With all of this viral stuff that’s going on with breakout artists like Odd Future and Lil B, it’s cool that people aren’t afraid to be themselves.

Back then, the movement was really based on free love and coming together and music. But as far as my thoughts on rebellion and stuff, I just feel that we’re the modernized 60’s. It was just really cool because with the storyline and with what I was doing, it would be perfect to pay homage to her on her birthday. Well, I didn’t drop the album on 4/20 because of it being the day of marijuana it was a tribute to Edie Sedgwick because she was born on 4/20. Also, with young people, there’s a more outright and upfront use of drugs, mainly marijuana, so tell me your thoughts on this whole movement of rebellion. There’s a movement that’s going on with young people and, I feel, with a certain sense of realism, it can connect with people.
I really felt the lyrics, and I just wanted to tell my story through music and to definitely inspire the youth. When I was growing up, I would always listen to a certain type of music, which was, like, classic rock and 90’s grunge rock. I just wanted to make music that was realistic to my lifestyle, and I wanted to speak out to the youth. How, specifically, would you categorize your music? You’re pop, punk, rock, hip-hop and dubstep.
