Watch Young Thug Discuss Songwriting with Lyor Cohen on CNBC

CNBC’s program Follow the Leader features perhaps it’s more interesting star yet with its latest episode, with Farnoosh Torabi hanging out with 300 Entertainment boss Lyor Cohen for a few days. The episode features Cohen as he goes about his usual business, discussing songwriting strategies with Young Thug among other moments. In the episode, Cohen yells at Thug, “I know you can make songs. I want you to make more of them.”

During the episode, Cohen also takes a moment to preview an unreleased collaboration between Thug and Fetty Wap. “This year I want ten No. 1 singles,” Thug says to Cohen. “Ten? If you don’t freestyle, and you actually work on the singles and record great choruses and develop your songs… You just record so many songs and leave them like little orphans out there. You have to come back to them,” Cohen responds.

Thug, who always works at lightning quick pace, disagrees, saying that “The critics come back to them.” Watch clips from the episode above and below.
