The performer continued: ‘You always made sure I did it first so you can do it right with me. You never competed with me, we were always on the same team.’
Quavo also marveled at Takeoff’s ability to be ‘quietest in the room but paid attention to everything going on in the room.’
‘Nothing ever really bothered Take and he didn’t bother anybody. He the most unbothered person in the world. He never got mad, he never raised his voice, and when he did, he silenced the room because what Take said was law,’ the singer stated.
Quavo also called Takeoff the ‘funniest person in the room’ and mused that ‘once you got him goin he wouldn’t stop.’
‘Growing up he knew every song off the Hot Boyz album, every lyric word for word and he was cursing up a storm,’ he recalled, before noting they won a Boys and Girls Club talent show together performing ‘Get Ya Roll On’ by Big Timers.
‘So it’s safe to say we had something going then. It came easy to us when it came to style and swag…Then he created this triplet flow and the rest was HISTORY,’ Quavo said. ‘He never worried about titles, credit, or what man got the most shine, that wasn’t him. He didn’t care about none of that as along we brought it back to the family!’
