‘Thotiana’ Rapper Blueface Opens Up About His Calculated Career Moves
Blueface is on the cover of The Fader‘s Spring 2019 issue, out on newsstands in mid-March.
Here’s what the 22-year-old “Thotiana” rapper had to say…
On his calculated career moves: “If I told you I had the blueprint, would you believe me? From the first song I made to the song I recorded last week. When I started doing the music s–t, it wasn’t like I was just winging it. Everything I did was calculated.”
On beginning his rap career as a stay-at-home father: “I would be at home with my son, write lyrics, rap on the Gram, come up with ideas. When he get tired of me, I get tired of him, I had time to come up with s–t.”
On his career and the Internet’s connection to the industry: “The whole objective in this s–t is to be a meme. That’s what this industry is based off of: a bunch of mouths moving, gums popping, no matter good or bad. If the outcome is money, how could it be bad?“
