Houston rapper Kirko Bangz is officially bringing H-Town back with his new mixtape Progression 2: A Young Texas Playa.

After releasing his smash hit “Drank In My Cup” and collaborating with rappers like Big Sean and Wale, Kirko is on a mission to put Houston rap back on the map. 

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Kirko Bangz Addresses Drake Comparisons

Earlier this year, GlobalGrind linked up with Kirko to chit-chat about his new music, his favorite rappers, and comparisons to Drake. 

Kirko stopped back by GlobalGrind offices to play a friendly game of “smash or pass” and to discuss what he loves in a woman. 

Ladies, if you’re feeling Kirko – listen up! 

Check out our exclusive interview below!

GlobalGrind: We love your “That Pole” video – very strip club inspired. How did you get Maliah Michel to do the video?

Kirko Bangz: We went to the club and shot the video. She was in the club dancing, and then we just went there and threw some money on her.

So making it rain on Maliah wasn’t planned?

Man, we always got our camera on us.

So Maliah was cool with ya’ll shooting an impromptu video?

Yeah, I like her – she’s pretty cool. I spent $5,000 in there that day.

So can we expect the official “That Pole” video to be in the strip club as well?

Not actually.

No? You got something else up your sleeve?

He’s the video director. *points to director in the room* It’s going to be dope, we have some creative ideas. Did you like the video?

What are your thoughts on XXL’s Freshmen Class Issue?

What do you mean?

Do you feel like you should be on the cover?

I don’t be worrying about sh*t like that.

What was your last dream about?

I think I was robbing some people? We had guns and all types of sh*t, but I forgot why, and then I woke up. I was about to go to jail actually. I peeped when I was going to get caught, and then I woke up.

How many tattoos do you have?

Umm, twenty-something, somewhere around that number.

Which tattoo is your favorite?

Actually this one’s my favorite *points to tattoo.* It’s the old Houston Rockets emblem.

What does music mean to you? Music is…

Music is Life. Not because it’s all I live or know, but just think about how the world would be without it – a sad place.

If you could have three wishes, what three wishes would you want?

Can I ask for more wishes?

Yeah.

Then I’d keep asking for wishes (laughs). I would ask for an unlimited supply of bad bitches. Like a lot. To keep it real (laughs). And of course, an unlimited supply of money so I could do what I want.

What girls are “bad” to you right now? Maliah is a beautiful sight.

Maliah’s bad. That new girl Jay-Z be with. What’s her name?  

Rita Ora?

Yeah, she’s bad. But she kind of looks like my ex. This is Russell Simmons’ place, right?

Yeah.

Angela Simmons, she’s bad too.  

Can we play a game: “Smash or Pass.”

I know the game (laughs).

Oprah Winfrey – Smash or Pass?

I’d smash Oprah. I don’t care. She’s balling! Oprah would have the time of her life.

Smash or Pass Snooki – from the Jersey Shore?

Oh, nah. She talks too much. I’m not attracted to her anyway. She looks like she gives good head though.

So you would pass?

Yeah, to the homie.

Rihanna – Smash or pass?

Definitely smash, but she’s getting skinny though. I don’t like it.

You want Rihanna to eat more beef patties.

Yeah.

Megan Fox – Smash or pass?

Oh, I’d smash. All day and all night.

Jennifer Lopez – Smash or pass?

Smash. I ain’t going to pass on too many now. Unless they just bad looking. Like, don’t ask me no Precious or nothing.

Okay, Taraji Henson – Smash or pass?

SMAAAAAASH. SMIDDASH.

What’s the craziest thing a fan has ever done to you? 

They’ve grabbed me, cried, stalked me – they do all that stuff. It’s all cool though.

You have stalkers?

Not really. On Twitter, but that ain’t nothing.

What does money mean to you?

It didn’t mean anything when I didn’t have it. But now that I have it, it means a lot. I’m not even going to sit here and lie. When you get more, you kind of get addicted to it and having things.

What do you prefer with a girl? Do you like ass or titties?

I like ass now. I used to go for titties, but now I’m more ass. I like the booty.

What do you like in a woman? What qualities should a “wifey” possess?

Umm….she needs to know how to wash clothes.  

Wash your clothes? (laughs) You got money now. You can hire a maid for that.

I would want my girl to do it though.

Why?

To show me that she loves me. Um, cook for me. And have the house clean.

You sound super old school out here.                                                                                     

Aye, that’s all you got to do. Look fine, look nice, find you a few hobbies, while I make money. She has to be like my best friend though.

You ever found love in the club?

No. (laughs). I found… no. (laughs).
