The universe only works one way.' That made me think, because.I was dissing another rapper really for no reason. He told me, 'Do you, but what you're doing won't work out in your favor, because your heart is not in it. 'And he told me something that was a really good piece of advice for me to grow from. 'I'm like, 'You know, I'm gonna keep that on there,'' Vic continued. We was all having a conversation about it, me, him and and everybody in the room-and then, later on, he hit me thinking about it, and he was like, 'You know, I think you should take that off of there.'' I played it for and he didn’t really say to take it off. 'I just wanted it because it was a good bar, and I took it off. 'There was a situation where I had a line that I said something that was kind of dissing somebody else, and it wasn’t really necessary,' Vic remembered. You can hear Vic talk about Jay Z's influence on The Autobiography, including its disses (or lack thereof) at around the 13:00 mark of the interview above. Mensa said that Hov would listen to songs and offer advice-and, in one instance, convinced the young artist to take a diss out of a song. In a wide-ranging new interview with Big Boy, Vic Mensa discussed almost all aspects of his new album The Autobiography. But it was when talk turned to Vic's relationship with Jay Z, who the Chicago rapper said served as an executive producer on the project, that things got interesting.
