With her hit song "Gucci Gucci" boosting her to fame, the name Kreayshawn is now well known in the music game. The female rapper, from Oakland, has caused a stir with her music, image and the White Girl Mob she runs with. After a run-in with Rick Ross at this years MTV VMA's (where she was nominated for Best New Artist), Kreayshawn's most current beef is with rapper Game after he took shots at her on his version of Jay & Kanye's "Otis" track.In an interview with Complex Magazine, Kreayshawn talks about how her music career got started, how she begged her sister Vanessa (a.k.a. V-Nasty) to drop the N-Word & her thoughts on the music industry now that she's had an inside look.
Check out some of Kreayshawn's video footage & outlook on the music game after the jump:
How It All Started:
Although her first passion was directing music videos, Kreayshawn decided to take time off from directing to do music herself. When Kreayshawn took to her twitter account last year in December, she asked her followers for a few good beats. The outcome was Staten Island DJ DJ Two Stacks sending her an instrumental sampling a line from "Bumpin Bumpin" (one big room, full of bad b*tches!) off of Kreay's mixtape Kittys X Choppas. "We were like, ‘Oh, sh*t. We have to use this," Kreayshawn told Complex. Six months later, Kreayshawn landed her 7 figure deal with Columbia.
On V-Nasty & Use Of The N-Word:
“Everyone thinks I’m Vanessa [V-Nasty] and I have to answer [for her actions] every day in every fucking interview. I’ve sat down and had talks with her, like, ‘Please, if you took this word out of your vocabulary, it would help your career. It would really help mine.’ She’s just been like, ‘This is who I am. This is how I was raised. I’m not gonna change for anybody,’ and I respect that. She doesn’t have to listen to me. It’s just hard if we’re all mobbing together and everyone thinks I use it, too. That’s when you have to step away or find a way to work around it.”
On Rappers Taking Shots At Her (Specifically Game):
“I’m going to say, ‘Game’s a weak ass Blood, he ain’t about to do sh*t. Am I just supposed to get dissed every day and be a weak ass little white b*tch? F**k that sh*t. I’m tired of people disrespecting me.”
Her Thoughts On How Quickly She Blew Up:
“I wasn’t expecting anything like this. I thought I was going to still struggle to pay rent.”
Sooo...What Was Kreay Up To Before Her Fame?:
Selling coke and internet pimping..."I quit IKEA and started trapping full-time. I was driving around in a pink Mustang at two in the morning, no license, with like two 15s in the trunk, serving knots. Then these girls I met, they were on their hustle, too. They brought me this new idea, it was safer than selling drugs. I posted the links for them, took the anonymous pictures, and set up the dates and prices.”
