Yesterday, Kyle Kramer of the RedEye caught up with the hottest new thing in music, Chief Keef, at home while still on house arrest. The MC, who is notoriously anti-interview (peep this XXL video) was candid about his recent success, his rap style and even touched on the “I Don’t Like (Remix)” — which he’s yet to hear:
What do you think it’s gonna be like when the Kanye remix drops? Are you excited? Have you heard what he’s going to do with it yet?
No, and that’s crazy that I couldn’t hear my own song yet. I don’t like that.
Later in the interview, he discusses the Chicago scene, shouting out Fredo Santana and the rest of GBE, King Louie, DGainz and throws a HUGE alley oop to Spenzo:
You think it makes sense that the whole industry’s eyes are on Chicago?
I mean, now it is. I think because of me, though. Because I run that bang bang three hunna, you know. I think all the rappers looking at Chicago artists – such as me, [King] Louie, [Lil Reese] Reesy, Fredo [Santana] – the only artists [being paid attention]. Everybody’s looking at us. Because I ain’t seen nobody come up with nobody else from Chicago. It’s other artists, like Spenzo. Spenzo, he cold. They should look at Spenzo. He’s like a Lupe Fiasco. [To photographer] You heard of Spenzo?
[Photographer] Oh yeah, we just did a photo shoot.
He’s like a Lupe Fiasco. I respect his grind, even though I wouldn’t rap like that. I like how he come and he just be “phooo” [makes leaving gesture] – just gone. He be going crazy. Like Lupe – not even only Lupe but he just be going crazy like he got that, and he’s from Chicago and I like that. I think he should get signed soon. I think he should come. They should let him right in. He could make commercial stuff, all that. I know he could. He’s raw.

“No, and that’s crazy that I couldn’t hear my own song yet. I don’t like that.”
