In an interview, Young Metro goes into where exactly the infectious and meme worthy tag came from:
“I’ve been using that as a tag in beats since about August. ‘Jumpman’, before the song was recorded, that beat already said that. We had did this one with Uncle Murda one time, and one of the lines that Future said in there was ‘If “young Metro don’t trust you, I’m gonna shoot you.’ When he said that it had a different tone, but I remember when we were in the studio he had another tone, which is the one that’s the tag that was just like muted. I just made sure to go back on the session and just get it and just go HAM with it.”
Than he spoke on Kanye taking a liking to it and putting it on his album:
“I had a sense that he liked it…because we were in the studio before, and you know the Kanye dance he does when he’s doing his thing? he was just going crazy doing that and saying “Young Metro don’t trust you…”
And that’s how history is made folks.
