Summary

This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome the Ferragamo Falcon, West Oakland’s own rap phenomenon, Scam Boy himself, the one and only GuapDad4000. We discuss growing up quickly as a child of two scammer parents, taking care of his younger siblings while his mom and dad were locked up, moving a half-dozen of his friends into his house so they could all pay off the mortgage, and eventually finding his way into his own scamming business. We talk about his personal style that got him notoriety, his early presence on Tumblr, throwing the wildest parties in California, based off the movie Project X, wrap-up videos going viral on Worldstar, getting calls from BET’s CEO Debra Lee looking to get her son onto the list, and eventually falling into a depression when the party business died off and he had no identity. GuapDad goes in depth on why he found his way back to scamming, what his goals were with music, and what happened when he crossed a border into Arizona with stolen merchandise in his trunk. GuapDad speaks on moving to LA, sleeping at the studio, immersing himself in the recording process next to Young Pinch and Cee-Lo, finding himself via Instagram on his birthday, and taking the internet by storm with his honest, authentic, dynamic, and hilarious hurricane force personality. Now in the midst of a major label bidding war, we talk about all that plus riding horses, hosting parties, the fine arts, his toxic relationships, and we have one of the most amazing endings to our podcast ever.
