YG Says His Mom's A Crip, Covers "The Source" With Ty Dolla $ign & DJ Mustard

YG, DJ Mustard, and Ty Dolla $ign score the cover story in this month's Source.

2014 hip hop wouldn't have been the same without Pushaz Ink -- the crew made up of DJ Mustard, YG, and Ty Dolla $ign. All three of the artists manage to infiltrate the radio, and influence those around them, and they always sounded best when they were working togethger.

Of course, their reign is only just beginning, and they'll be giving us the scoop on their plans to build an empire in the newest issue of The Source, which they've scored the cover of. So far, we only have a few quotes from the interview, which range from music, to loss, to hilarity. 

You can check out a preview of the story below.

YG on putting aside gang affiliations:

My momma Crip, she from a Crip neighborhood... I’m the reason why we got Blood n--gas and we got Crip n--gas in one click–that’s me.

Ty Dolla $ign on changing his ways:

I used to produce with this other dude named G Casso, and when he died that fucked me up. He got killed. He got killed and it fucked me up to where I didn’t even feel like making beats like that, you know, that was another reason why I slowed down.

DJ Mustard on his work ethic:

That’s what a lot of people don’t understand, like, this is more than producing... they don’t understand that this is a full-time job. It’s not like I’m just making a beat and Big Sean happens to stumble into the studio. It’s not like that.” [...] “People take it lightly. You gotta grind for what you want and really take it to the next level–it’s a different era. It’s really just [about] changing the sound up, not staying the same.

Lil Wayne Says He's One Of The Few Artists Left Who's "Only About The Music"

Lil Wayne covers Nylon Magazine and talks about his overwhelming dedication to music.

Lil Wayne is supposed to be releasing his new album Tha Carter V on December 9th. Seeing as Nicki Minaj's Pinkprint is due out a week later and is now available for pre-order while Wayne's record is not, we're probably looking at another delay. Regardless, Weezy is starting the promo tour, appearing on the cover of Nylon this month, for which the cover and a few choice quotes have been revealed.

Read what the YM leader has to say about his work ethic, his dependence on weed, and his dedication to music below.

On stepping up to the plate:

“I was always ready for the call. That’s the best way to explain it. Wayne’s always ready. When it’s my turn, I make way more than the most of it. If you’re ready when they call you, and you make the most of your time, then they’ll never stop calling you.”

On his approach to songwriting:

“I’m just a regular street n____ that’s a little smarter than the rest. I rap whatever comes up in my head. Whatever rhymes with the next word and how I’m feeling. I start rapping and we find something within what I just said and make a song out of it.”

On weed inspiration:

“I don’t know how it works, but I know that I need weed…extra when I’m creating. It helps in a major way.”

On being 'about the music':

When I first started doing it, you only did it to be the best—not to have a hot song or popularity or for Instagram or Twitter. I’m one of the last of a dying breed…the ones who are only about the music. You have to want to be unforgettable. The only other people who I can think of like that are Kanye and Beyoncé.
