Dream Collaborations and Past Regrets

• 💡 The rapper's ultimate dream collaborator is Andre 3000, whom he deeply admires as a "real cool Atlanta player."

Musical Journey and Gratitude

• 🏆 2 Chainz reflects on his Grammy win for "No Problems" with Chance the Rapper, comparing it to his first platinum plaque for "No Lie" featuring Drake and "Birthday Song" featuring Kanye West.
• 🌟 He highlights "I'm Different" as a pivotal moment, being his first platinum plaque without any features, signifying his own artistic achievement.
• 🎤 The artist recounts winning a Grammy over Fat Joe's "All The Way Up," a fact he found surprising.

Studio Experiences with Legends

• 🎧 Discussing Dr. Dre, 2 Chainz notes Dre's perfectionism, requiring precise enunciation, which posed a challenge due to 2 Chainz's overbite.
• 🏠 He appreciated Dre's hospitality, including being allowed to smoke in his studio, a privilege not extended during his session with Eminem.
• 🚭 During his session with Eminem, 2 Chainz had to smoke outside while listening to beats, and Eminem's team was overly protective, even preventing Eminem from entering the booth while 2 Chainz was recording.
• 🎶 Despite the strict environment, 2 Chainz acknowledges Eminem's dedication to his craft, working hard in the studio daily.
