    " While Gucci Mane was filming his sex scene in Harmony Korine’s movieSpring Breakers, he fell asleep. Harmony said of Gucci, “In his entourage, everybody smokes weed from the beginning of the day to the end…So we’re inside this house in St. Petersburg, and the f---ing weed smoke was so insane and Gucci was basically catatonic. I was like, ‘Gucci, you’ve got to have sex with this chick now!’…He wanted her to ride him so he wouldn’t have to do any physical labor.” Harmony continues, “So we’re shooting the sequence, and as he is getting f-----, I start to hear snores…He had literally passed out! And she was riding his d-ck the whole time. I’d never in my life filmed a sex scene where the dude was sleeping…and she was on top of him for a good 45 minutes.” To clarify…the sex was simulated. "

    Danny Brown used to transcribe Aesop Rock lyrics to work on his penmanship.
    J Cole was a huge Canibus fan which he conveniently never mentions.
