Young Thug's label, 300 Entertainment, set up a FaceTime chat between Thug and John. After the virtual conversation, John sent over the instrumental track of his 1972 hit "Rocket Man". "It’s all the instrumental, the guitar, piano; and Thug is not rapping, he’s singing," says a connected source. "It’s really ambient and amazing." In an interview with Noisey in December of 2015, John professed his interest in the

What we hear on the radio today is not what people in the 1800s through 1960s heard in church and on the farms. Now we hear big names putting on big shows and people rapping, but the way they both are the same is there is still a meaning to both. So today we are listening to the beat not always the message some songs have a good message but we don't always listen to it. back then that's really what mattered is the message that was being sung. And there is not really much soulful black music anymore

Its formation derives from a young generation of African-Americans in South Bronx, New York.

Each movie has its own unique sense to it. There are many significant issues in both Straight Outta Compton and Drumline that are the same in some ways and very different in other ways. There are many abstract scenes in each movie, that portray numerous relationships in the community through the use of lights or clothing.
