AMG on how the rap game is all a show (but he had fun doing it!) by Rebel Radio

This week’s guest is AMG, the rapper. In this episode you will find snippets of music from DJ Quik, Eazy-E, Fila Fresh Crew, and New Edition. And our EDM.com Track of the Week is from TroyBoi: Do you ft. Armani White. Check out our EP 5: Playlist to hear all of the songs featured.

In 1991, AMG released “Bitch Better Have My Money,” a furious combination of sexual energy, teenage bravado, and soul and hip hop samples that set dance floors on-fire across the country. With no video and no radio support, the song spent 50 consecutive weeks on the Billboard charts. The song’s title, recently appropriated by Rhianna for her own single, has remained part of the urban lexicon for more than two decades.

Then, he lost the plot. He lost the fire. After a solid debut album, he made a follow-up that even he didn’t like, bounced back once in a short-lived partnership with DJ Quik, called The Fixxers, and has since taken his time to rediscover his passion and what really moves him to create.

We talk about all of this, plus that one time when he was a guest at my wedding.
