- I'm Tyga and this is how it went down
with my song "Taste".
So how the song came
about, it's probably like
the second or third
song I did of the night,
took a break, went to
the club up the street,
came back, probably had
like, a bunch of girls,
bunch of homies in the studio.
And I heard the beat, and it was slow.
D.A. sent me the beat
and it was like real slow
and I just heard that
"Dun dun dun" so I like sped it up
and then I just start mumbling on the mic
cause I don't really, I
don't write nothin' down
I kinda just freestyle everything as I go.
I always like to record
like the first thing that
comes to my mind when I
hear something so I came up
with like the first four bars,
the "Slide on a pimp game
with my pinky ring,
lotta gang, lotta bitches
and a icy chain" and
it was really just bars
like I did the song in
probably like 30 minutes
like some beats like just you
know bring out that spirit
in you and it was just, it was cake walk.
And it's funny cause you
can probably hear people
in the background if you
was to mute my vocals
like girls like laughing,
you know people drinking,
smoking, whatever.
And yeah that's how the song came about.
It was like it just happened
in a party kind of environment.
Once we shot the video, I
just knew like, it felt right.
You know, and we dropped
it like the first day
and all the reactions, like it was crazy.
It got like, I don't know,
like a million streams
or a million views like the
first day, somethin' crazy.
Kanye hit me up, Ye hit
me up and he was like
"Man this is the best video of all time."
So you know that was
cool that he checked the
video out soon as it came
out and he was like on it,
like one of the first people
on it so, that was dope.
So Offset, that's my
boy and we always like
go back and forth.
I hit him up the day
before I shot the video,
I was like "Yo I got this
song that can kinda be crazy
if you got on it, but I'm
shootin' the video tomorrow
so like you would have to
fly out to L.A. tomorrow
and do the video."
And he was like "I'm 'posed
to be in L.A. tomorrow"
so whatever the case was,
he didn't make it to L.A.
And then while I was shootin' the video,
I was shootin' like one
of the first scenes,
it's like the driving scene,
so I'm drivin' in the car
with like three girls,
then he Facetimes me
I was like "Man I'm shootin'
the video right now."
He was like "Aw man you
shootin' it," he was like
"Man, I gotta get on it".
So I was like "Well just
send me a verse and you know,
we could figure it out."
He did the verse, I think that
night, I heard it next day.
Then I flew to Atlanta like that same week
and then me and him shot
together at the skating rink,
Cascade, like a famous
skating rink in Atlanta,
and that's how it went down.
