2:26
Speaker 1: this one's only in the video version. Let me know
2:28
Speaker 1: if you want me to just make audio versions, I
2:30
Speaker 1: could just do it, but tail up the tapes. If
2:34
Speaker 1: you're watching the video version, you can kind of see
2:36
Speaker 1: it behind me. I have some concepts that I kept
2:39
Speaker 1: for I mean since the early nineties. Honestly just kept
2:46
Speaker 1: them and really wasn't trying to like keep them to
2:50
Speaker 1: preserve them. I just had them both throughout these years.
2:54
Speaker 1: And you know when I had you know, houses or whatever.
2:58
Speaker 1: I used to have house and b more have a
3:00
Speaker 1: house in Jersey now you know, just kind of sat
3:03
Speaker 1: in the garage or sat in the basement, and you know, I.
3:07
Speaker 2: Had to pull them joints out. But what I started.
3:10
Speaker 1: Doing was a series that basically talks about, you know,
3:13
Speaker 1: when this project or this album or this single came out.
3:18
Speaker 1: You know, what were my thoughts when I first heard
3:20
Speaker 1: the music, when I went and bought the CD or
3:23
Speaker 1: the I mean cassette. So it's really like a nostalgia trip,
3:27
Speaker 1: but also a little information behind it quick two minute
3:32
Speaker 1: or less segments. The latest episode I did was on
3:38
Speaker 1: Smith and weston Black Moons or boot Camp clicks Heads
3:41
Speaker 1: and Ready single which you could kind of see behind
3:44
Speaker 1: me if you look really close. At the top is
3:46
Speaker 1: the yellow tape with the red writing. Just records that
3:52
Speaker 1: you know I bought back then as a hip hop head,
3:54
Speaker 1: before we had streaming services where you would just go
3:58
Speaker 1: and look for artists who was new, or go look
4:01
Speaker 1: for that song. You know, you had to go to
4:04
Speaker 1: the record store back then, and me, I lived in
4:07
Speaker 1: the record store. I didn't care if I had five
4:09
Speaker 1: dollars on me.
4:10
Speaker 2: I was leaving with something.
4:12
Speaker 1: What Danzel said, I'm leaving with some Okay, not stealing,
4:18
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just saying I had to have new
4:22
Speaker 1: music like it was oxygen. So there you have to
4:27
Speaker 1: check that out. That's on the channel. Subscribe to the
4:29
Speaker 1: channel trying to get the five under subscribers. Today we
4:34
Speaker 1: are doing a bonus kind of episode when the news
4:37
Speaker 1: week is kind of slow as it relates to music
4:40
Speaker 1: and interesting topics. Sometimes we gotta go in that bag
4:44
Speaker 1: and look and see. But what else is interesting about
4:47
Speaker 1: hip hop? If you are on social media, in particular
4:52
Speaker 1: hip hop Twitter, because we don't recognize the X unless
4:56
Speaker 1: it's Malcolm okay, But on hip hop Twitter and other
5:02
Speaker 1: social media sites, you know, hip hop heads constantly talk
5:07
Speaker 1: about you know, top five, this, top five that.
5:10
Speaker 2: Who's the lyricist, who is it, who's the best? Now?
5:13
Speaker 2: Who is it? Who won Drake or Kendrick?
5:16
Speaker 1: Right, we just constantly talk about list and other hip
5:20
Speaker 1: hop topics, which is cool to me because let's not
5:25
Speaker 1: pretend like debates didn't always exist in hip hop, right,
5:30
Speaker 1: they didn't dominate.
5:31
Speaker 2: You know, a new release and what you felt about it.
5:34
Speaker 1: But a lot of times you always talked about who
5:36
Speaker 1: you like, who's the best out of NWA. You know
5:40
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Who your favorite artist is in the group.
5:43
Speaker 1: You know which one of the albums is the best
5:45
Speaker 1: in their catalog, stuff like that.
5:47
Speaker 2: So as we continue to talk hip hop.
5:50
Speaker 1: Which is dope on social media, there were things that
5:55
Speaker 1: used to bother me. Right at first, there was classic right.
6:00
Speaker 1: Everybody was calling everything a classic right. So I did
6:03
Speaker 1: a whole episode on that. Then there were lyricists. Everybody
6:07
Speaker 1: was trying to define what a lyricist was and who
6:10
Speaker 1: was and who wasn't in this and that. So I
6:12
Speaker 1: did an episode on that.
6:16
Speaker 2: Goat.
6:17
Speaker 1: Everybody was trying to define you know, who's the goat?
6:20
Speaker 1: So he's one of my goats and blah blah blah.
6:22
Speaker 1: And I did an episode on who is the goat?
6:27
Speaker 2: I'm pausing for dramatic effect. You know who it is?
6:31
Speaker 1: Uncle al l cool J stopped playing with me. I
6:36
Speaker 1: did a whole episode on it. And it wasn't necessarily
6:39
Speaker 1: about you know, how many hits or whether he's better
6:43
Speaker 1: than jay Z or Nas or whatever. Lyrically, It's about
6:47
Speaker 1: the totality of what he brought to the hip hop.
6:51
Speaker 2: Game and continues to bring to the hip.
6:53
Speaker 1: Hop game, even though NAS is gaining on him, Because
6:57
Speaker 1: come on, man, six Dope project and you're about to
7:00
Speaker 1: turn fifty. That's crazy. Okay, it's crazy talk. We've never
7:04
Speaker 1: seen that before. But nevertheless, you know it was really
7:07
Speaker 1: those episodes were about breaking down, literally in detail, breaking
7:14
Speaker 1: down what those terms mean in hip hop and examples
7:24
Speaker 1: of who you know who best exudes that term, whether
7:28
Speaker 1: what album best means classic?
7:31
Speaker 2: Right? Illmatic is a classic? Right?
7:34
Speaker 1: And then we break down what a classic is. You
7:37
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, L COOLJ is the go or
7:40
Speaker 1: you could say, ay go, I'm cool with that. I
7:42
Speaker 1: don't care, But I break down why I say that.
7:47
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying lyricists, I break down what
7:51
Speaker 1: that means and who is an example of that. So today,
7:55
Speaker 1: with all that being said, we're gonna talk about bonds
7:59
Speaker 1: because cause, honestly, yeah, you know I'm preaching today, give
8:04
Speaker 1: me give me some minute, give me give me a time, Okay,
8:07
Speaker 1: give me some time. Honestly, when it comes to bars,
8:13
Speaker 1: there are people and I'm not just saying old heads
8:16
Speaker 1: versus new heads, casuals versus hardcore. I'm just talking about
8:20
Speaker 1: music fans, in particular hip hop fans. There are bars
8:27
Speaker 1: that go over people's heads, and there are bars that
8:31
Speaker 1: people get right away, and there's such thing as just
8:35
Speaker 1: too many bars to the point where you're bored to death.
8:39
Speaker 1: And there are MC's artists, rappers, whatever you want to
8:43
Speaker 1: call them, who have zero bars. But first let's start
8:48
Speaker 1: with what are bars?
8:51
Speaker 2: Right? Not everybody else.
8:52
Speaker 1: They hear it all the time, but they're like, yeah,
8:54
Speaker 1: I didn't, don't they rap good? Like they don't really
8:57
Speaker 1: know the context or whatever that means. So from dictionary
9:02
Speaker 1: dot com by way of Urbandctionary dot com, this is
9:06
Speaker 1: what they said regarding bars. As hip hop grew in
9:11
Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties and two thousands, artists and their fans
9:16
Speaker 1: came to use bars for lyrics in general. Urban Dictionary
9:21
Speaker 1: first into the term in two thousand and three. In
9:25
Speaker 1: the two thousands, bars became well established as a term
9:30
Speaker 1: for the rhymes artists freestyle in rap battles and slam poetry.
9:35
Speaker 1: I don't know if that means. That sounds like AI
9:38
Speaker 1: poetry with spectators even shouting bars. Now for me to
9:44
Speaker 1: just break it down to you. What bars has always
9:48
Speaker 1: meant to me as a hip hop head day one.
9:52
Speaker 1: It's about lyricism. It's not about just a great song.
9:58
Speaker 1: It's about lyrics. It's about what you say and how
10:01
Speaker 1: you say it. It's about discovery for the listener, right,
10:07
Speaker 1: not only discovery within the topic that may be in
10:11
Speaker 1: a bar, but discovery within figuring out what they just said.
10:19
Speaker 2: Right. I'll give you an example.
10:22
Speaker 1: The first time I heard jay Z say on Brooklyn's Finest,
10:27
Speaker 1: like short sleeves, I bare arms, I was like, that's crazy.
10:34
Speaker 1: That's a bar for those who don't know, Like, damn,
10:37
Speaker 1: I still don't. I still don't know what you mean. Well,
10:41
Speaker 1: like short sleeves, right, so you have a short sleeve,
10:44
Speaker 1: I bear arms, Right, So my sleeves are short and
10:48
Speaker 1: my arms are bare. There's nothing covering it because it's
10:51
Speaker 1: a short sleeve, so half of my arm is showing. Right,
10:55
Speaker 1: So you get the short sleeves, I bear arms, But
10:58
Speaker 1: bare arms also means I'm carrying a gun.
11:02
Speaker 2: Okay, So you see. It's the double N tendre.
11:06
Speaker 1: It's the when you first hear it, whether you get
11:10
Speaker 1: it right then and there or later you're like, yo,
11:12
Speaker 1: what he say. Those those are examples of when people
11:18
Speaker 1: shall bars, like this definition or this description says, that's
11:24
Speaker 1: what they're talking about. Those kinds of lines that you're like, oh,
11:29
Speaker 1: they're thoughtful, right, they require some thinking on the part
11:36
Speaker 1: of the listener, right, some comprehension on the part of
11:40
Speaker 1: the listener. It's not just toe tap in two step,
11:45
Speaker 1: you know, because I'm saying, it's not just I'm saying
11:48
Speaker 1: something you you know you agree with. It's really deeper
11:53
Speaker 1: than that, you know what I'm saying. It's much deeper
11:56
Speaker 1: than what you're hearing on the surface. And that's why
12:00
Speaker 1: hip hop heads love bars. Now another the term bar
12:07
Speaker 1: also comes from when you're breaking down lyrics or like
12:12
Speaker 1: this said, slam poetry and poetry. Right, one line is
12:16
Speaker 1: considered a bar.
12:18
Speaker 2: Right.
12:18
Speaker 1: When you're writing poetry, that's one line. A series of
12:21
Speaker 1: lines is called the stanza. But bars are the lines, right,
12:28
Speaker 1: So like short sleeves, I bare arms, that's one bar.
12:33
Speaker 1: It's just that that term, which was the original term,
12:37
Speaker 1: became a term of endearment for people who were skilled
12:42
Speaker 1: at bars. So everybody's writing bars, right, But the terminology
12:50
Speaker 1: that everybody you know in hip hop uses, including me
12:54
Speaker 1: on this show anytimes, some random bars just you know,
12:57
Speaker 1: I can't help it. Sometimes with random bars just come
12:59
Speaker 1: out of no with that just comes from people just
13:06
Speaker 1: basically taking note that you dropped the dope line right now?
13:11
Speaker 2: Does everybody have.
13:13
Speaker 1: Bars in the sense in the way we mean right
13:17
Speaker 1: the term of endearment?
13:19
Speaker 2: No, they just don't. Does that make them whack? No?
13:25
Speaker 1: I don't think DMX ever said anything that I had
13:30
Speaker 1: to figure out, like, you know, whether it was two
13:34
Speaker 1: seconds or later down the line, like what he said
13:36
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. Right, But DMX to me
13:41
Speaker 1: was more about his flow, his conviction and what he said.
13:46
Speaker 1: So everything he said to me was relatable, right, And
13:51
Speaker 1: it's and some people say bars when they like something
13:54
Speaker 1: a lot. They don't have to be deep and intricate.
13:56
Speaker 1: They'll just say bars. But lyrically, when we're talking about bars,
14:01
Speaker 1: we're talking about technique, right, and not the most basic technique.
14:08
Speaker 1: We're talking about levels of depth within your lines, you know,
14:13
Speaker 1: not just relatable. A lot of rappers rap about things
14:16
Speaker 1: that all rappers rap about something that's relatable. All mcs
14:20
Speaker 1: rap about something that's relatable. But it's how you do it,
14:25
Speaker 1: you know, the depth in which you take that. You know,
14:28
Speaker 1: there's a jay Z could have easily said, you know
14:31
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, I bare arms, you know, because I
14:35
Speaker 1: got a gun on me. He could have said something
14:37
Speaker 1: very simplistic. But that's not Bars. You know, Bars is
14:44
Speaker 1: taking it a step further to express the same thought, right,
14:49
Speaker 1: adding a little bit more depth.
14:51
Speaker 2: To the same thought. And I think, honestly, the.
14:56
Speaker 1: Debate that you may see when people are arguing over
15:00
Speaker 1: who's the lyricists and who isn't based off of Bars.
15:04
Speaker 1: It's just the simple fact that nobody wants to leave
15:07
Speaker 1: anybody out. They feel like, if you don't call a
15:09
Speaker 1: person this, you know, then you're saying they're not that good.
15:15
Speaker 1: Because lyricists and people who are considered to have BARS
15:21
Speaker 1: generally are looked at as an elite level of m seeing.
15:26
Speaker 1: But it's true, it doesn't take away from the songwriters.
15:30
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I think Tupac is one
15:32
Speaker 1: of the greatest rappers of all time. But Tupac has
15:36
Speaker 1: said a lot of things that I could relate to
15:39
Speaker 1: as a man that make me feel like he is
15:43
Speaker 1: top ten for me. When you're talking about greatest rappers
15:46
Speaker 1: of all time. Tupac's in't it. You can't disregards the
15:51
Speaker 1: music and the impact. But I think there's a difference
15:57
Speaker 1: between somebody who says something you will agree with versus
16:01
Speaker 1: somebody who says something that you think about it for
16:04
Speaker 1: men and be like, yo, he said this, but that,
16:06
Speaker 1: but this and this, and it also means this, and
16:08
Speaker 1: it also means that, and the way he said it
16:11
Speaker 1: and the way he started right there, like that's just
16:15
Speaker 1: never happened when I'm listening to Tupac, right, So there's
16:19
Speaker 1: a difference. Doesn't take anything away from Tupac, because guess what,
16:22
Speaker 1: there's plenty of dudes who will rapidly rap you to
16:24
Speaker 1: death with bars and can't write a song to save
16:29
Speaker 1: day life. And Tupac can write a song in his sleep.
16:33
Speaker 1: Hits anthems, he could write those in his sleep. So
16:39
Speaker 1: with that being said, let's talk about who I think
16:45
Speaker 1: I think are the top five spinners today. Spinners I
16:51
Speaker 1: mean bars like you listen to them because their bars
16:57
Speaker 1: are so potent with skill and tech, unique in thought
17:02
Speaker 1: that it feeds the hip hop soul. Now again, there's
17:08
Speaker 1: some of my favorites, my two favorite rappers today MC's
17:14
Speaker 1: today are not on this list. It's not because they
17:18
Speaker 1: don't have bars. It's just because we talking about elite
17:23
Speaker 1: writing skill level on the levels. Okay, that's what we're
17:30
Speaker 1: talking about, so trust me, I'm not leaving anybody out.
17:34
Speaker 1: And honestly, if you really only name it five, I
17:38
Speaker 1: can name about twenty if we want to be real.
17:41
Speaker 1: But this list is not only based off of their
17:45
Speaker 1: level of writing and skill. Also, you know, obviously in
17:51
Speaker 1: some ways is related on what they've been releasing. But
17:54
Speaker 1: I feel like every time I hear these dudes rap,
17:57
Speaker 1: from the day they came out to today, I feel like, Wow,
18:03
Speaker 1: these dudes rapping on another level, Like they just rapping
18:07
Speaker 1: on another level of thought. Like as a person, as
18:10
Speaker 1: an MC, I know the thought process it takes not
18:15
Speaker 1: only to make it make sense, but to give your
18:19
Speaker 1: bars certain levels.
18:22
Speaker 2: Here's my tip. Five spiders today in no order. Ransom.
18:29
Speaker 2: If you listen to Ransom, you already know what I'm
18:32
Speaker 2: talking about.
18:34
Speaker 1: Ransom is a dude you cannot daydream when he's rapping.
18:40
Speaker 1: You're gonna miss something. You can't even take a break
18:44
Speaker 1: and be like, what was that? You're gonna miss something?
18:49
Speaker 1: This dude does not waste space in his rhymes whatsoever.
18:55
Speaker 1: He is a true technician when it comes to bars.
19:00
Speaker 1: Everything he does is layered. Everything he does has meaning.
19:05
Speaker 1: You feel me, He's never really just saying it to
19:10
Speaker 1: say and if it feels that way, it's probably leading
19:14
Speaker 1: you into some crazy bars. So Ransom definitely if you've
19:20
Speaker 1: never checked out any of his music, he got a
19:22
Speaker 1: lot of dope music that's come out in recent years.
19:26
Speaker 2: Pick one, it's.
19:28
Speaker 1: Really that dope, okay. Uh Royce the five to nine,
19:33
Speaker 1: he hasn't released an album in a little bit. I
19:35
Speaker 1: don't care anytime that brother touched the mic. He's another
19:43
Speaker 1: one where I'm like, damn, that's a lot of focus.
19:48
Speaker 1: You gotta be focused to rap like that Allegory album
19:53
Speaker 1: was crazy. The album before that that I can't remember
19:57
Speaker 1: the title because I haven't heard it in a little while,
19:59
Speaker 1: but that means nothing, not rant. So Royster five to
20:03
Speaker 1: nine is what you guys will say, we don't play
20:08
Speaker 1: Eminem in the hood. He's the guy you should be
20:10
Speaker 1: listening to. He is the black version, so loosely, but
20:16
Speaker 1: the black version of Eminem. But I think he's you
20:18
Speaker 1: can't even say that now. At one point I kind
20:21
Speaker 1: of felt that way, right, Like as far as technique
20:25
Speaker 1: he was, him and Eminem were a lot alike. But
20:28
Speaker 1: I think in recent years he's become even better than that.
20:32
Speaker 1: He's better than Eminem if you ask me. And he
20:36
Speaker 1: has the same attention to detail and technique and layered
20:42
Speaker 1: and like catchy lines and tongue in cheek lines. You
20:46
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like wink wink type bars. But
20:51
Speaker 1: it's just crazy and honestly saying this about all father
20:57
Speaker 1: people in this list. I admire that so much as
21:01
Speaker 1: an MC because again, you know what it's like, sit
21:05
Speaker 1: there and write rhymes or some of you magical negroes.
21:09
Speaker 1: You know, I don't write, okay, whatever I do, okay,
21:14
Speaker 1: but it's it's just it's honorable to listen to somebody
21:19
Speaker 1: who pays that closer attention to what they say, how
21:24
Speaker 1: they say it, how everything comes together. So forst five
21:28
Speaker 1: to nine, next Conway, the Machine, Okay, I don't know,
21:33
Speaker 1: but sometimes.
21:34
Speaker 2: I'm like, this dude getting better.
21:36
Speaker 1: Whatever you may think about certain projects not hitting right,
21:39
Speaker 1: it's the beats. Because if a damn show ain't is
21:42
Speaker 1: rapping whatever, way like he just dropped this year's slant
21:48
Speaker 1: face killer. I thought it was going to be crazy.
21:51
Speaker 1: It was kind of a letdown in some ways, but
21:54
Speaker 1: I never felt like lyrically he lost the step. I
21:58
Speaker 1: felt like he was even better than he had been.
22:02
Speaker 1: You know, some people may not like the production. That's
22:04
Speaker 1: kind of what honestly, that's kind of what it is
22:07
Speaker 1: to be totally honest. It's almost as if they need
22:12
Speaker 1: some new production to rap over to make it appear
22:16
Speaker 1: like things are different. But when it comes to his pen,
22:20
Speaker 1: crazy right, crazy the again, the attention to detail, the
22:26
Speaker 1: patterns in which he puts the words together. Right, Most
22:30
Speaker 1: people when they think about bars, they think about, say
22:34
Speaker 1: some lines to the word that rhyme's bars at the end,
22:39
Speaker 1: right da da da da bars d d D cars.
22:45
Speaker 1: But when you like I'm in Borah before like dog,
22:49
Speaker 1: that's words that are rhyming all throughout the bars.
22:54
Speaker 2: Now is that unique to Conway the machine now?
22:58
Speaker 1: But he does it so well and it always sounds dope,
23:02
Speaker 1: So that's him. Two more thirty eight specih. Now, some
23:08
Speaker 1: people who know me may be surprised because they know
23:12
Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest fan, But it doesn't have anything
23:16
Speaker 1: to do with his pen. That dude is nice. That
23:21
Speaker 1: dude is dead nice. Okay, why I'm not the biggest fan.
23:26
Speaker 1: I think kind of don't like his voice, but over
23:28
Speaker 1: certain tracks I kind of mess with it. So they have,
23:32
Speaker 1: especially again especially over this feature on grass album Like
23:37
Speaker 1: My God, thirty eight Speci is special.
23:42
Speaker 2: That dude could rap. He is nice in a way
23:47
Speaker 2: that shows that.
23:48
Speaker 1: Again, the lyrics may be hardcore, gangster, whatever you want
23:54
Speaker 1: to call it, but there's a lot of cleverness to
23:57
Speaker 1: what he says, right, imagine fabulous just a little bit
24:03
Speaker 1: more hardcore with what he says right, a little bit
24:07
Speaker 1: more street not saying fabulous? Is it fabulous?
24:10
Speaker 2: Is more?
24:11
Speaker 1: You know, he's more flamboyant most of the time. Thirty
24:14
Speaker 1: eight specialists gutter without really needing to gruff up his
24:19
Speaker 1: voice or whatever to sound gutter. Right, He sound the
24:23
Speaker 1: way he sound. But the bars are potent. He just
24:27
Speaker 1: released a new project, maybe like a week ago. That's
24:32
Speaker 1: pretty dope, right, and again the bars are on display
24:37
Speaker 1: and the last spit of on my lists. Some of
24:40
Speaker 1: you may know, but many don't, and I think you should.
24:44
Speaker 1: I am God. Look let me tell you something, man,
24:49
Speaker 1: All of that that I said about each of these
24:52
Speaker 1: other MC's he does that. He doesn't waste words, he
24:58
Speaker 1: doesn't waste bars. Everything he says is detailed and potent.
25:05
Speaker 1: And again, when you understand the magnitude of focus it
25:13
Speaker 1: takes to make sure each bar is potent. In that way,
25:21
Speaker 1: you're rapping on a different level. Now, it's not easy
25:25
Speaker 1: to make songs. It's not easy to be a rap
25:28
Speaker 1: or an MC at all. But there's a basic way
25:33
Speaker 1: to do it. Well, you just say some cool stuff,
25:36
Speaker 1: or you say something somebody agrees with or can relate to.
25:39
Speaker 1: Right me, I've always used a lot of cliches in
25:43
Speaker 1: my ROMs, right because people recognize stuff like that, and
25:47
Speaker 1: I'll throw, you know, a couple of lines, a couple
25:49
Speaker 1: of bars, a couple of deep things within it. I
25:52
Speaker 1: am God is a technician of the highest level.
25:57
Speaker 2: I don't know why.
25:59
Speaker 1: Mass Appeal or somebody else don't scoop this brother up
26:02
Speaker 1: out of shy town, because when I listen to him,
26:07
Speaker 1: when you hear people say pen game, that's what we
26:10
Speaker 1: mean with all of these spitters on this list, that's
26:15
Speaker 1: what we mean. We mean. Okay, I'm gonna listen to
26:19
Speaker 1: such and such and that's like fast food.
26:22
Speaker 2: It's cool like, I like Drake. Don't get it twisted.
26:25
Speaker 1: I'm a big I'm a bigger Kendrick fan, but I
26:28
Speaker 1: like Drake and I like when he raps. Not this
26:31
Speaker 1: new you know, I'm taking Migo style rap. I'm talking about,
26:34
Speaker 1: you know, zero to one hundred Drake. I like when
26:36
Speaker 1: he raps.
26:37
Speaker 2: It's cool.
26:39
Speaker 1: But these guys are named on a different level. Right,
26:45
Speaker 1: Drake can say some cool lines. These guys can say
26:48
Speaker 1: some cool lines, but they also mean seven other things
26:51
Speaker 1: as you're listening. That's what we mean by spitters. Now again,
26:56
Speaker 1: to wrap it all up, I'm not saying that having
27:00
Speaker 1: bars on this level means you are better than everybody else. No,
27:05
Speaker 1: I'm not saying as a listener that should be your
27:08
Speaker 1: preference if you want to be known as a hip
27:11
Speaker 1: hop head. I'm not saying that at all, because my
27:13
Speaker 1: music collection has all of them in it. Got bar kings,
27:18
Speaker 1: you got dudes like Kid Cuddy who you know. I
27:22
Speaker 1: listen to them, but I'm not there like, yeah, let
27:24
Speaker 1: me come get these bars. I listen to certain people
27:27
Speaker 1: for certain vives of music, and when it's time to
27:31
Speaker 1: listen to somebody who's technically sound with their writing, then
27:38
Speaker 1: that's when I go to the spitts. That's when I
27:40
Speaker 1: go to listen for bars. You know what I'm saying,
27:44
