His GPA was 4.0 . This is who the man is. He's aware of the subject and if he spent time with the subject, he will get an A, everytime. His IQ is probably above 135.
I like watching Kevin's interviews and watching him speak cause it's like he's always speaking about real life. He always talks about things that get you thinking. But for some reason I can't listen to his music. His music is boring to me for some reason. But he sounds like the most intelligent person when he speaks.
tmacfan16 He still speaks educated, even if he didn't have "lingo from prison." Go listen to people like YG and shit... Just ignorant compared. This dude is smart, he just didn't grow up with education.
From what we've seen and experienced in these last few decades, not weird at all. In fact if he was leading with the mentality he has, he'd do really well for Americans.
I see so much of him and his understanding is so much me. I had my opinions about him based on what I've seen but hearing him talk is what i wanted to hear..i love it.
I really wanna hear more about Kevin Gates getting his masters in psychology (while, in the pen, at that). That's what I'm going to school for, and I've been rapping, since I was a kid. I'm 27, now. Kevin is an inspiration to me. I love watching his interview's, and seeing how he thinks, and how he views other people, and society, as a whole. Keep doing your thing, Kev.
Good for you. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders, and it's beneficial for us as people to look up to someone who inspires us, Kevin Gates being your inspiration. Just stay out of trouble, and keep your eyes focused on your priorities.
This man is a genuine individual and I watched my first interview on his life and I am shocked by his intelligence and how much I have in common with the way we both think. I am very impressed with the way he manifests ENERGY back into the world. Such a positive influence and he honestly loves his woman. You boys out there need to get some advice from this man!!! He is a genius!
A lot of haters in the comment section. Why y'all always try to discredit or defame Kevin Gates? The dude is a very intelligent guy. Now *most* of his music may not reflect that, but at least he ain't like all these other rappers who put on a fake persona to look cool or be "hard." Kevin Gates is hella real whether y'all realize it or not.
Gates is the most authentic rapper I know in the game, very deep, smart and enlightening.. I can listen to this cat all day, cuz it's always something knowledgeable to learn.
There has not been a rapper that puts as much raw emotion in his music since DMX and Scarface. That's why I love his music you can "feel" the raw emotion in his songs
King Kevo I feel you bruh,but he would also get into his insecurities kinda subliminal, and express his inner struggles,but I understand where ur coming from
Shouts to one of the realest dudes Kevin Gates, every time I watch this dude's interviews I just sit back n soak up game. The man is like 50 Cent with the wisdom and knowledge droppin, that By Any Means tape is dope af too.
My 18 year old listens to kev so much till it's like we're family.... Having owned a daycare and worked as a supervisor in a level 8 detention center I can honestly say that he is speaking the truth..the justice system needs to be reorganized.... I would love to connect and link up with him and his future wife doing something dealing with youths
When I first got into Kevin gates I thought the exact same thing but once I listened through all his music real through I realized all the content I was seeking in there, it's just expressed a little bit differently because he stays true. you won't find gates contradicting himself
The more I watch his videos the more I like him. The first was most recently with his wife I'm going back watching them. I relate to him so much loved to have a friend like him.
kevin gates said the smartest thing in this interview I have heard anyone say in an interview. " I dont drink alcohol, it just dont taste good" lol been saying this my whole life, why do people drink liquor and beer, it does not taste good
1 minute into the video Ebro is a fool by thinking he knows what it's like to be famous. Ebro said to Kevin it depends on how you play your cards, i was thinking why should Kevin have to say where he from and put on his shoulders all the bad things his area has done to other people from elsewhere? It's like Ebro don't know bout real life, no matter who you are rich or poor we all have to leave our homes and do things ourself at some point and that means going way out of town.. Reppin a area is almost a deeper racism attitude for instance not only do you hate people from other areas but you may even hate your own race from other areas aka gang culture..
so you're saying then that once you've made something of yourself one should completely ignore where the first step came from? I see your point but you can't change where you coming from and one should never be ashamed of it either which seems to be Kevin's mantra #selfconfidence #selfawareness and all that other psychoanalytic stuff. Gang culture is full of Ego Greed and Ignorance and perpetuation of all those things coming from past egotistical, greedy and ignorant individuals my friend.
Pssshh... You're only worth the minute it took me to write that comment ma dude... take a look at yourself now before you stick your head out at the wrong time like you doin now... would you rather get your masters in jail or 'outchea'? #riseaboveit
YV Bonafide I hear ya bro. I was just annoyed at Ebro pressuring Kevin for his area when I am sure people already know the accent. I haven't even listened to his music but if there's any bad man lyrics and gun talk in there then I can see why Ebro pulling up the area talk because artist should practise what they preaching if getting all that money. Lets face it, even if someone is talking crazy killings talk in music, we rather buy it if it truely represents the individual. Tupac was no stranger to jail ect and blk panther background so his raps stuck in most fans heads because all was factual.
Hes deep on the surface but his music doesnt represent that. He should speak on subjects like he does in person all I hear is the same old trap music when he should be an artist like krit or j.cole
You clearly have not listened to his music or experienced any of the topics he speaks on. No he is not a "Mos def" or the typical lyrical rapper, what he does speak on is what he has experienced and he does it very articulately. Granted u may have never have put a Pyrex into a microwave which 99% have not, but his gift is letting u feel how he felt when he did. Jeezy, Master P & 2 Pac; all have sang about the same, but the emotions and reflections are what make his music and experiences different, and that's just speaking about a few of his songs. If u have listened to his work you would know how open he is and how vulnerable he is with in his music . Unlike most artist theses days he wears his heart in his music and his words bleed through the page.
jimecristos6 I've listened to his music and still didn't get that feel of a real HipHop artist. Absence of double entendres , wordplay , alliteration etc. He probably has metaphors & aggressiveness but that still don't make him an MC worth mentioning 10 years from now. No matter what perspective you try to view it from.
TrendziSco lol "real hip-hop artist" just listen, you'll hear that emotion. Just because someone isn't lyrical miracle doesn't mean they are not good. 2pac-emotion based lyricist,not very technical but 18 years later people still talk about him. All the extra shit half the time doesn't even make sense when they try to use all those types of speech.
Ebro one of the realist dudes, he don’t sweat non of these rappers like I see other folks do in interviews. My G stand his ground and say what he feel 💯! Gates a real one tho 💯
kevin gates is Puerto Rican thats why hes so emotional and passionate, im not racist but hispanics are very passionate compared to african americans, thats just my opinion
Started listening to him threw lito around 2011-2012 before all the Idgt fans not undermining publicity just promote reality rap not perpetual inorganic so called music much love BWA
This is why I fucks with Kevin Gates as an individual , not a fan of most of his songs but he only talks about what he knows best. Can't really blame him. At least he actually came from that lifestyle
Lifes to short to be serious all the damn time you say you're anti-stupidity but you come off as a bit arrogant like you can't entertain harmless humor ...My oldest brother is also a two time convicted felon he did six years in the pin but we are still able to sit back and laugh and joke with each other. I do believe KG to be intelligent but sometimes i feel as if he's trying to hard for these interviews.
This dude is so Intelligent Jesus Christ!! I 1st wanted to judge him by his look but damn, he say things that u cant help but replay and listen to again n again everything he is sayin! "I''VE LEARN HOW TO KEEP MY MOUTH CLOSE AND WATCH, I'VE LEARN THAT TALKING REALLY DO NOTHING IT ONLY ARISE AWARENESS!! Wise Brother! hands down n 1 more fan to ur list now !!
I feel like the way he speaks , and carries himself that his music should come across the way J. Cole's music comes across.. Not to anyway compare them.. Hopefully my point was understood..
I don't know much about Gates' past or his music, but from the few interviews that I've seen of him, I'm gaining respect for him because he speaks the truth.
Kevin Gates is a lot more intelligent than I thought. He reminds me of a young 2Pac from the south. Truly inspiring brotha
lol someone that talks with a little intellect, and yall are ready to jumo over the moon, like you've never heard somone talk like him..
Exactly
His GPA was 4.0 . This is who the man is. He's aware of the subject and if he spent time with the subject, he will get an A, everytime. His IQ is probably above 135.
I feel that
I don't even know this MANs music but I LOVE his MENTAL. 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Yeap an in depth THINKER..........
Im 57 years old and love his music and he is very brilliant.
Amen very smart young man don't even know him just watching TH-cam
Asada X he’s my friend
I like watching Kevin's interviews and watching him speak cause it's like he's always speaking about real life. He always talks about things that get you thinking. But for some reason I can't listen to his music. His music is boring to me for some reason. But he sounds like the most intelligent person when he speaks.
Lol thought I was the only one that felt that way
Ti
tmacfan16 He still speaks educated, even if he didn't have "lingo from prison."
Go listen to people like YG and shit... Just ignorant compared. This dude is smart, he just didn't grow up with education.
@131INFERNAPE. I was just going to write that comment .
Same lol
"Im not antisocial, im just antistupidity" -Kevin Gates
Exactly
This dude is the real thing. I can relate to him straight up. I wish i had homies like him to have a inteligent conversation with
I've just been watching this dudes interviews because he is the realest. No one will say what he does. People are too guarded.
Kevin Gates & DMX speak the realist shit ‼️💯💯💯💯
he needs to host a podcast i would listen.
What Kevin said about action is very inspirational
This may sound weird to most but people like Kevin Gates are the people we need running the country.
GYANG3151 nothing weird about that at all fam. What you said is 💯
From what we've seen and experienced in these last few decades, not weird at all. In fact if he was leading with the mentality he has, he'd do really well for Americans.
Truer words were never spoken
Truer words were never spoken
he’s a killer n a dope dealer wdym
Kevin Gates is %100 real...
I agree!!!
Get that drake ass comment the fuck outta here
Aquarius yes that he is..........
Clearly you all aren't from baton rouge lol
I see so much of him and his understanding is so much me. I had my opinions about him based on what I've seen but hearing him talk is what i wanted to hear..i love it.
If Kevin Gates is in the building, Penitentiary Rules Is In Effect
Lol dumbbbbb
💯💯💯💯💯
BornReady Jones “make sure you tell em when I step in the section respect is on heavy”
Going to the Kevin Gates show this Friday in Silver Spring, MD - this dude is greatness!
Bruh, I don't know which interviews I like better, Him or Webbie lol
Webbie is a fool lmao.
Webbie look like a gerbil 🐹
they're both very conscious individuals.
JohnG Beats Conscious is a bit far fetched . Especially when their craft doesn't reflect it
TrendziSco clearly you don't listen to his music and his old stuff.
I think this and sway in the morning are the most genuine and sincere talk shows ever
Respect to this man
Lol ^
respect to yo picture 0_o
I really wanna hear more about Kevin Gates getting his masters in psychology (while, in the pen, at that). That's what I'm going to school for, and I've been rapping, since I was a kid. I'm 27, now. Kevin is an inspiration to me. I love watching his interview's, and seeing how he thinks, and how he views other people, and society, as a whole. Keep doing your thing, Kev.
💯
Good for you. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders, and it's beneficial for us as people to look up to someone who inspires us, Kevin Gates being your inspiration. Just stay out of trouble, and keep your eyes focused on your priorities.
He got it in jail....dont count for nothing
kevin gates is a real nigga!
This is Ebro greatest interview
I swear I learned so much from this man all his interviews just tells you to be wise and intelligent #Real
this nigga is Aquarius, people who were born between Jan 21 to Feb 19 have a big heart and they are always intelligent
You gotta respect a man who stands by what they believe in, yet humble enough to realize the flaws.respectable man.
Ebro handled that better than anyone else i've seen interview this guy, he controlled the direction of the interview.
Mylucidream Streetwear Kevin gates ain’t NO JOKE.
Wrong
This man is a genuine individual and I watched my first interview on his life and I am shocked by his intelligence and how much I have in common with the way we both think. I am very impressed with the way he manifests ENERGY back into the world. Such a positive influence and he honestly loves his woman. You boys out there need to get some advice from this man!!! He is a genius!
A lot of haters in the comment section. Why y'all always try to discredit or defame Kevin Gates? The dude is a very intelligent guy.

Kevin Gates is hella real whether y'all realize it or not.
this dude is so intelligent, the way his mind works and the way he works is truly a blessing to watch and be inspired by!! glad hes finally out
Gates is the most authentic rapper I know in the game, very deep, smart and enlightening.. I can listen to this cat all day, cuz it's always something knowledgeable to learn.
This interview is gold
Kevin Gates music is gettin' me through life real talk.
Watching this interview made me smarter
😂
kevin gates a real nigga
Ebro's shirt lol. "Jay z sold out"
5 years later he really does prove it, the NFL Deal with Roc Nation
There has not been a rapper that puts as much raw emotion in his music since DMX and Scarface. That's why I love his music you can "feel" the raw emotion in his songs
doggo pupper Absolutely, that's one of the things that I look for in any artist
King Kevo you must've never heard of Pac
Amaru Liberochy of course I've heard of Pac. The thing is Pac was more political than personal. In my opinion
King Kevo I feel you bruh,but he would also get into his insecurities kinda subliminal, and express his inner struggles,but I understand where ur coming from
New found respect. Hands down .... Super sharp.
Really enjoyed this interview.
First interview I watched from start to beginning interested the whole time
Shouts to one of the realest dudes Kevin Gates, every time I watch this dude's interviews I just sit back n soak up game. The man is like 50 Cent with the wisdom and knowledge droppin, that By Any Means tape is dope af too.
My 18 year old listens to kev so much till it's like we're family.... Having owned a daycare and worked as a supervisor in a level 8 detention center I can honestly say that he is speaking the truth..the justice system needs to be reorganized.... I would love to connect and link up with him and his future wife doing something dealing with youths
fuck u
When I first got into Kevin gates I thought the exact same thing but once I listened through all his music real through I realized all the content I was seeking in there, it's just expressed a little bit differently because he stays true. you won't find gates contradicting himself
😥
This was a deep interview...💯
Glad you guys brought him up to the show
I love him. His outlook on things peaks my interest
After watching a bunch of interviews, I respect Ebro's intelligence, honesty and sincerity. always happy to see him do an interview.
This guy is one intelligent man. Gotta love him
The more I watch his videos the more I like him. The first was most recently with his wife I'm going back watching them. I relate to him so much loved to have a friend like him.
One of the best Ebro interviews to date!! Word up!!
His hand tattoos are dope.
kevin gates said the smartest thing in this interview I have heard anyone say in an interview. " I dont drink alcohol, it just dont taste good" lol
been saying this my whole life, why do people drink liquor and beer, it does not taste good
guelphuni black coffee with espresso tastes terrible, but I still drink it for the effects.
Not supposed to it is an acquired taste like most things
1 minute into the video Ebro is a fool by thinking he knows what it's like to be famous. Ebro said to Kevin it depends on how you play your cards, i was thinking why should Kevin have to say where he from and put on his shoulders all the bad things his area has done to other people from elsewhere?

That's the feeling you should have after being educated... #realtalk
This nigga is pure wisdom lmao
WE ARE STRONG - LIL BIBBY FT KEVIN GATES . FIRE
Behind every greatest man is an even greater woman. You better speak the REALEST TRUTH know to all but not practiced.
He gives very intelligent interviews but those eyebrows tho 😳
I'm sure you can look beyond that and appreciate the dialogue.
Ms.Reasa Greenidge man she not his relative chill with the lies know your facts before you speak
Ms.Reasa Greenidge she his 3rd or 4th cousin tho

How can u not respect this mans intellect. I'd like to meet him one day and philosophize with dude.
Ebro and Kevin conversing is 🔥🔥🔥. Never a dull moment
He couldn't control this interview like he did Otha interviewers... Ebro see thru all dat foolishness
Fr Ebro sees through the bullshit lol
Hell nah👋🏾
Hes deep on the surface but his music doesnt represent that. He should speak on subjects like he does in person all I hear is the same old trap music when he should be an artist like krit or j.cole
You hit the nail on the head . He sounds 10x more articulate in interviews than what he spit about
You clearly have not listened to his music or experienced any of the topics he speaks on. No he is not a "Mos def" or the typical lyrical rapper, what he does speak on is what he has experienced and he does it very articulately.

I 100% agree. His music does not represent the guy he's portraying himself to be in interviews

ebro: what you drinkin on brother?
gates: cauffee

Ebro one of the realist dudes, he don’t sweat non of these rappers like I see other folks do in interviews. My G stand his ground and say what he feel 💯! Gates a real one tho 💯
kevin gates is Puerto Rican thats why hes so emotional and passionate, im not racist but hispanics are very passionate compared to african americans, thats just my opinion

my new favorite rapper..
Gates! Always an inspiration.
real smart dude
One of the realest dudes you will ever meet.
KEVIN GATES! Keeping shit 1000% as usual
This is why I fucks with Kevin Gates as an individual , not a fan of most of his songs but he only talks about what he knows best. Can't really blame him. At least he actually came from that lifestyle
Lifes to short to be serious all the damn time you say you're anti-stupidity but you come off as a bit arrogant like you can't entertain harmless humor ...My oldest brother is also a two time convicted felon he did six years in the pin but we are still able to sit back and laugh and joke with each other.

Chill Bosby facts
Wise words from Mr Kevin
This dude is so Intelligent Jesus Christ!! I 1st wanted to judge him by his look but damn, he say things that u cant help but replay and listen to again n again everything he is sayin! "I''VE LEARN HOW TO KEEP MY MOUTH CLOSE AND WATCH, I'VE LEARN THAT TALKING REALLY DO NOTHING IT ONLY ARISE AWARENESS!! Wise Brother! hands down n 1 more fan to ur list now !!
I thought 50 cent was smart this dude way past that brotha #Respect
Love his interviews.
There is a difference between wise and intelligent
I feel like the way he speaks , and carries himself that his music should come across the way J. Cole's music comes across.. Not to anyway compare them.. Hopefully my point was understood..
I believe what he means by "Louisiana has more people incarcerated than any other country" is by percentage of population
I respect this truth I share his kindred spirits
Kevin Gates a wild nigga! lmao straight up "we just got down workin out come here" lmaoo
Real dude right here. we need dudes like this out here. Good Game.
ebro never lets laura styles talk lol
I like how he respects his beliefs he’s very careful about what he shares
I don't know much about Gates' past or his music, but from the few interviews that I've seen of him, I'm gaining respect for him because he speaks the truth.
