Tyga Says His Song 'Feel Me' Started Off as a Joke With Kanye West

Rife with bangers and relentless swagger, Tyga's newly released Bitch I'm the Shit 2 album feels as if it was tailor-made for the summer. T-Raww aimed to please all his fans—old and new—with this latest project, which he touches on, along with working with Kanye West, in the latest edition of XXL 360.

Tyga has something for folks who've rocked with him since before the first installment of #BitchImTheShit dropped about six years ago as well as the ones who only recently jumped into his music.

"I mean, Bitch I'm the Shit 2 is basically really getting back to that shit, talking that shit, you know what I mean?" Tyga tells XXL. "The first one I dropped was like years ago, but it had like multiple hits on it and it's like one of my favorite mixtapes for like my fans [that] they love. So I really wanted to do something for them. And then like, my whole new audience and my new fans that I've gained in the last couple years."

Elsewhere in the interview, Tyga discusses the making of "Feel Me," a Kanye West-assisted track from his newest offering. According to the California native, the idea for the track emerged from a conversation he had with the G.O.O.D. Music boss.

"You know, we was talking about lingo, you know, just talking about everyday, regular stuff, and Kanye had said a couple of lines, and I was like, 'Yeah, we just need to do songs about cars, the club,' you know what I mean?" Tyga reveals. "We was like making a joke, and he was like, 'Yeah.' I was like, 'You feel me?' and he was like, 'Yeah, that's the hook. 'Feel me.' That's the hook.' I didn't really thinking nothing of it, but from our conversation, I went to the studio the next day and then we came up with 'Feel Me.' Then I took it to his house and then he recorded his verse the same day he heard it."

As for advice ’Ye has instilled in him, Tyga has learned a thing or two from the rap veteran. "I think you can always learn something from legends like him, ’cause, you know they been in the game for a long time, you know, they seen it all—the ups and downs—so it's always [nice] to hear worldly advice from them," he shares.
