In the streets, you don’t want attention from the feds. The wrong attention will get your ass beat up when a nigga run into you - if you playing with the wrong person. If you a rapper, attention can turn into money. I feel like it’s good attention and it’s bad attention. Law six says, Court Attention At All Cost. As a boss you should want someone to surpass you or equal you. Fuck that, outshine me if you on my team. None of my artists will never have to worry about that because you know, you get big, you making us look good. But me personally, if I’m on a team with you and you on the head of the team, all the work I’m doing is for us to shine. So to me, if your boss is like that he ain’t a real boss anyway, he a jealous hearted nigga, you know what I’m saying? But that’s what you dealing with out here in life. You got niggas out here who think like that. The boss or master whoever, looks at you as a potential threat and may not want to keep you keep you in position closer to him. I understand where they coming from with it because shit like that can cause jealously. Well, the first law says, Never Outshine The Master: I’ll throw a few laws at you and give me your opinion? It all comes down to what type of individual you is. Some of the laws I agree with, some of them I may not. I feel like there are some Niccolò Machiavelli ideals tied into a lot of those works. I don’t agree with everything they penned. I’m a heavy reader and I’ve read Sun Tzu and Robert Greene jawns. You can relate different ones to different scenarios, according to what the scenario is you can shift it around. So I read it from the perspective of being able to be in front of an individual and know if that’s what he trying to do to me. To me, the most important part is being able to block it. I think it’s just important to read the book just to be up on the game, whether you want to use it or not. So this album was inspired by Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, drop jewels on us, let us in on what you learned. But the streets want it and I speak for the streets. Labels don’t want artists to put out mixtapes because they don’t monetize it. But it’s just speaking for me and likewise artists. On your track “Fuck Em,” you rapped: ‘Label told me not drop a tape, Fuck ‘Em.’ You’ve had label issues in the past, everything good over there at Epic? I got so many records that I’m just trying to decide which joints go on there. I’m picking through the joints right now. Gotti: I don’t have a specific date but if everything be everything, I’ll still try to catch the first quarter. VIBE: You shocked your label and fans with the Concealed mixtape. Mozzy Throws Epic House Party For "In My Face" Featuring Saweetie, 2 Chainz And YG Surrounded by a couple of his stoned faced comrades, the exhausted hustler mustered up enough energy and a few grins to discuss his upcoming The Art of Hustle album, hip-hop contemporaries that he looks up to, rules from Robert Greene’s 48 Laws of Power and why he studies Sun Tzu’s Art of War. VIBE caught up with the short yet brolic Gotti at Manhattan’s London Penthouse hotel after recuperating from the 2015 All Star Weekend. Fast-forward to nearly a decade later, and Gotti finally has a lucrative deal with Epic Records and backing for his CMG label. So he dished out more Benji’s to exit the next record label. The deal was so sour that Gotti coughed up $400,000 to buy his way out his original contract with TVT Records - only to find himself in a unprofitable deal with Polo Grounds/RCA. After a suffering some deep war wounds during his 15-year career, street soldier Yo Gotti decided to arm himself with some antiquated heat in the form of Sun Tzu’s classic book The Art of War, which is the inspiration behind his upcoming album T he Art of Hustle.Īfter climbing out of the mud of Memphis streets to record deal, the 33-year-old rapper’s achievement was short lived. Despite what’s seen in the majority of videos and songs, life isn’t a set with props of guns, money and masked men shooting up the city.īut, there is a war going on that’s often silenced and can be costly if one isn’t strapped –mentally.
