Adam22 reveals hardest part of interviewing rappers on No Jumper podcast YouTube: No JumperYouTuber and No Jumper podcast host Adam \u2018Adam22\u2019 Grandmaison has revealed one of the hardest parts of interviewing rappers, during a conversation with Chicago hip-hop artist G Herbo. Adam22 has become one of the go-to people for insights into the rap scene, starting out by interviewing underground rappers from SoundCloud before his (and their) growth saw him move to the forefront of the scene, and now one of the biggest personalities in the game. He is a skilled interviewer, and found a brilliant niche from which to build himself a career and lifestyle out of \u2013 but, he says, it\u2019s not always easy to do. Speaking about Herbo\u2019s recent album PTSD, the two discuss the struggles of rappers who haven\u2019t always been able to wear their heart on their sleeve and speak openly about their feelings and \u201cmost vulnerable states.\u201d This is something that Adam understands perfectly, having interviewed so many rappers, saying it\u2019s \u201cpart of the problem\u201d when talking to them. He says: \u201cA lot of dudes just grow up with the codes of the streets embedded in them, where the rules are: you don\u2019t talk to people you don\u2019t know, you don\u2019t talk on the record, you definitely don\u2019t talk on camera\u2026 There\u2019s a lot of rappers who you will never hear open up about their girl because they don\u2019t want to seem soft.\u201d Topic starts at 8:43 for mobile users. Though he references rappers not wanting to discuss their girlfriends, it\u2019s clear the implication is much wider and that many rappers wouldn\u2019t want to touch on subjects that G Herbo does in PTSD, based on his own mental health issues. Herbo, in turn, explains that he\u2019s confident enough in who he is to discuss it so openly, believing that he\u2019s \u201cnot taking away from [his] masculinity by embracing these situations.\u201d The two later opened up about the loss of their friends over the years, including the likes of Juice WRLD, XXXTentacion and Pop Smoke, and the effects it has had on them over the years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
