Yung Lean | Full Q&A 

ABREVIATED TRANSCRIPTS OF INAUDIBLE AUDIENCE QUESTIONS 15:05 - Is the creative process different making music for Yung Lean projects opposed to Jonatan Leandoer? 15:52 - What equipment did you have when you made Ginseng Strip? (the audience member also mentions the fact they are an aspiring rapper but doesnt own a computer which Lean innocently jokes about within his response) 17:40 - *unsure* possibly asking about something related to a show/live performance. 18:03 - What are you thoughts on success & reach for Swedish music artists, and how did you become noticed? 20:26 - How did you deal with the hate you received in the early years? 20:49 - *unsure* 22:17 - What was your influence to move to Miami & how did the experiences you have while there affect the music made for Warlord? 22:22 - Has your approch to lyricism changed over the years? Is it something you put time into with consideration or is it more spontanious? 24:10 - Have yourself or you guys (sadboys, drain gang, gravity boys, shield gang) changed your additudes since 2014? (as an example for the question, the audience member tells a story about the group being fun loving & mischievous with a loaf of bread when they were last in Dublin). 25:03 - Have you ever had an ordinary job besides making music? 26:16 - When you are in public do you prefer to be addressed by a fan as Jonatan or Yung Lean? 26:53 - Does drug use affect your creative process negatively or positivly? 28:04 - *unsure* asking something about Yung Sherman not being as active. 28:42 - Have you suffered from writers block and how did you overcome it? 29:30 - *unsure* asking something about mixing different genres of music together as one. 30:55 - Do you ever feel pressured that your not making the music the fans want to hear? 32:35 - *unsure* When will you play a show in Dublin? 33:00 - Can you explain your roman type tattoo on your neck? (I was not involved in this Q&A or apart of the audience, but as a viewer and fan of yung lean im just trying to provide a better experience for those who are struggling to understand the questions being asked to Lean, I will do my best to transcribe what I hear - but if I get something wrong or cant make sense of a question that has been labeled with *unsure* and you belive that you know what was said, please reply to this comment and I will update the timestamp, thank you!)

Imagine Lean coming to your college in a suit answering your questions

This is best Q&A I have ever seen. Yung Lean is one of the realest humans alive. Been a blessing to grow up listening to GTB/SBE

"On Wednesday the 13th November, the Bram Stoker Medal of Cultural Achievement was awarded to Yung Lean by the University Philosophical Society." a sentence I thought I'd never read

Gonna tell my kids this was Sam after journey to Mordor.

Drain Gang Scholar

He even be saying “it’s crasee” lmao

Lean is such a great person. Hopefully gonna see him on the Europe tour he talked about.

I want yung lean to write a book

yung lean was ahead of the times with the music he put out at such a young age. he started a whole movement. he will go down in history as a significant influence on the culture.

Leandoer never going down he has so much meaning to me

bladee, lean, thaiboy and Ecco make me so happy, I'm glad they made it

After world peace is achieved yung lean will be president of the world.

Lean got that uncle who teaches music theory suit on

we draining philosophically

"if u want to get into any business, you have to be a nerd in that business"- Big fax by yung lean

I adore him for real. He’s one of the realist people. I have so much love and appreciation for him

"everyone's making music for themselves, unless you're like drake maybe" .. ahah the dissin is real

Being a young self-made guy in a dope suit around a bunch of college kids must feel pretty damn good

after 10min the interviewer knew that this will be a chilled interview. love how he just leaned there like he owns the place s/o to lean and hogwarts for doing this

the fact that lean is shouting out metro zu and all these 'really underground florida' artists is blowing my mind. never forget the first generation of soundcloud

Fantastic interview/Q&A, just wish there were subtitles on the fan questions, I couldn't understand most of them.

can we take a moment to realize how rare this is 🙏

I have so much respect for this guy. I don't think he gets nearly enough credits for the things he has done for the industry

when im listening to yung lean i feel connected to him and another poeple who listen to him, thats when you know the artist is good

love him so much true genius I'm happy cuz he looks healthy

Even though he has been so much he is still one of the realest. He is amazing

HAVENT EVEN STARTED THE VIDEO AND THIS IS ALREADY FUCKING LEGENDARY BIG UP WHOEVER MADE THIS HAPPEN.

yung lean is genuinely the most realist dude i've ever seen

cannot wait for leanys album

5:18 - 5:30 : Lean, that's synesthete, it's more exactly called as chromesthete. Some people listen to certain sounds and they can 'describe' it in colors. Tbh, that's what I felt for the first time when I listened to Greygoose. It's so full of neon, green-ish, colors.

Why lean dresses like a 1970s dad who reads newspaper.

This man is a legend. Please don’t leave us ever.

' a real artist should be able to write a song about how it feels to be on drugs without ever taking drugs' that is beautifully put and so true

Bless Young Lean. Always knew he was genuine. This only supports that.

Seeing Lean's journey from 2013 to now just brings a smile to my face. Absolutely love this guy, SBE forever man

I couldn't stop smiling this entire video

I love this man so much! He's such a honest and nice person. Really down to earth dude. BTW nice interview, I just wish I could hear what the audience was asking🙂 Maybe add a subtitles or sth?

when the dude in the suit just starts swearing

🇮🇪 What a deserving award, yung lean is a legend. This was a deadly Q and A. The crowd had good questions and so did the interview, the clearly knew yung lean and we're fans whick made the whole Q and A very intimate and fun. We'll done lads. 🇮🇪

Someone should have written down the questions from the crowd.. can’t understand shit haha more like „Yung Lean & answers“ Bit disappointed that so few people asked real deep questions, still enjoyed the vid ngl

They made ittttt !!!! I'm sooooo proud !

Got to meet this guy when he came to Dallas TX a few years ago. Super solid dude. His team is awesome too.

♥️

I always get excited to hear him talk. He seems so well read and down to earth. Knowledge beyond his years.

Shoutout to him for talking a bout purrp and metro zu

General classic - I can see leandoer is a man of culture

i want to hear yung leans opinion on black kray, for me he the most underrated out of everyone. true pioneer

he literally means so much to me

One of my favorite awards given to one of my favorite artists. I have no clue how I didn't hear about this until now.

Leandoer really out here receiving cultural achievement awards from universities. Wow.

Were all just normal dudes after all, genuine words by leandoer in this q&a, so humble. Can't wait for his new stuff to come out including a possible tour. Love the guy

Lean is a great artist. Love his work and no surprise he remains down to earth about it. Respect.

Love this dude, so down to earth

24:44 lean looking straight in the camera is a speacial experience

I’m glad that lean do not care about fans when he makes music. It meas that is real music that comes from himself not from tendences or what else

been eatin good lately one of the OGs

Lean x Kate Bush would change my life

I still bump Princess Daisy and Emails damn near every day.

He never had a normal job after McDonalds? I thought he said once in an interview that, he came back to sweden and worked with Yung Gud etc. at a factory for a few months and just blasted music but correct me, if i am wrong

cant hear any of the q and a questions but thanks for doing this

i HAVE BEEN WITH YALL SINCE 2014 AND THANK YOU FOR SHOUTING THE BOYS OUT

when people think like that it adds value, good words man

This man WALKED so Billie Eyelash could RUN!!!

there is no one more deserving of this medal!!! Yung Lean was ahead of his time!

What a good Friday, thanks TCDPhil for releasing this today!

a legendary human being 🖤

Legendary Man

they way he talks about sherm melts my heart 💞

Young lean definitely made an imprint on the rap game back in 2012 and I've always checked up on him over the years I'm glad he's getting recognized

He’s come such a long way from his old interviews much more expressive and vocal much love to Lean & Sad boys 💕

I love yung lean You inspire the youth to be themselves and embrace their inner personalities Be yourself Lean I love you

Lean is for the culture brooooo! S/O to everyone who made this happen!

I got this on my reccomended and it is posted 1 day ago (im a fan of yung lean) , youtube's algorithm is getting better, and i didnt expect him to listen to Playboi carti

Even his mic is auto tuned. Great

I love this thank you for doing it

yung lean will always be my favorite artist

So cool. Don't listen to him much anymore bit was really obsessed very early, since in April 2013.

Funny story: I was in Dublin with a girl from Trinity one day. Walked outside for a smoke with her and looked across the street and went "wait is that Yung Lean?" My friend replied with "oh yea he's doing a talk in Trinity today". I freaked out

This video made me so happy, great ass qna. lean is such a down to earth guy

A true artist. I just hope not too many become his fans because of a trend. What he said about globalism is so true. Very intelligent as well

Imma put this in my archive no cap

somebody needs to sub the questions

Yung Lean definitely deserves it man glad i got to see him when he came to San Diego shit was dope

So glad for this to have happened

I am living for this
