YP DA YG opens up about going to jail and the top 5 rappers of all time

Today we sat down with @ypdayg115 to talk about how he got into trouble early in his life with the law. He spoke on how his first jail stint was because of a crime he feels he didn't commit. His second time was due to his loyalty to a friend. We later discuss how he survived being in prison and jail. We also discuss the differences between the two institutions. We discuss his relationship with Chris from the We All In Clothing brand and how his mentorship from him helped @ypdayg115 become the man he is today. He actually gave him his name. We also get into the biggest argument of who is everyone's top 5 rappers of all time and this became a very heated debate. Also, we talk about how women's increased presence in hip hop and the NY drill scene. #jail #crime #top5deadoralive #thanx4askin #ypdayg #hiphop #popculture #jay-z #drake #jadakiss Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
