- 1:50Speaker 1: kind of look at what's going on in hip hop
- 1:54Speaker 1: history and October twenty second, twenty twelve, Kendrick Lamar released
- 2:01Speaker 1: his major label debut, Good Kid, Mad City Tone. I'm
- 2:09Speaker 1: pretty sure you were up on k dot way before that,
- 2:13Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. When he was k dot
- 2:15Speaker 1: to most people, but when he finally got the chance
- 2:18Speaker 1: to release like the album, you know what I'm saying,
- 2:21Speaker 1: like probably the culmination of what he'd been working towards
- 2:25Speaker 1: up to that point. What were your thoughts on the project?
- 2:28Speaker 3: Okay, so look leaning up to it, like I knew,
- 2:31Speaker 3: let's say, I knew it was coming down in a
- 2:33Speaker 3: couple of weeks. I was already playing section eighty hard,
- 2:37Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, the kind of indie debut album,
- 2:42Speaker 3: and after hearing Cushion Corinthians. I have an article about
- 2:47Speaker 3: breaking the song down on Tomdadome dot com man and
- 2:53Speaker 3: hearing that Reagan era you know what I'm saying, High Power,
- 2:57Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, produced by Jaco, just so
- 3:00Speaker 3: many amazing songs on section eighty and now, of course
- 3:04Speaker 3: years and years later you can see pictures and video
- 3:08Speaker 3: of hundred three thousand there with him, doctor Dread and
- 3:11Speaker 3: there with him. You know what I'm saying, a bus,
- 3:13Speaker 3: you know, for real, you know everybody like that, and
- 3:16Speaker 3: you know, it just kind of start up of seeing
- 3:18Speaker 3: something special.
- 3:18Speaker 2: So hearing about good getting mad shit.
- 3:21Speaker 3: I think I heard maybe swimming Pool because you know,
- 3:24Speaker 3: it's like one of them singles or whatever.
- 3:25Speaker 2: I don't remember the very first single.
- 3:28Speaker 3: I was talking to my head, but that I got heard,
- 3:31Speaker 3: So I gonna heard on a mixtape anywhere. You know,
- 3:33Speaker 3: I'm always fishing, but I was like, okay, he's back,
- 3:36Speaker 3: just kind of ready to hear the album. You never
- 3:39Speaker 3: know when you're gonna you know, before you put out
- 3:41Speaker 3: what's gonna be, you know, especially with expectations real high.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Put that joint in man, and I'll say this, get
- 3:48Speaker 3: to the end of that album. You know, after you
- 3:50Speaker 3: sit there and you were like, you know what, I
- 3:52Speaker 3: literally just heard something special, you know, and I thought
- 3:56Speaker 3: that by the time I got to a single about me,
- 3:59Speaker 3: I was like, you know, that song is like eight
- 4:01Speaker 3: nine minutes long, man, and just the way he told
- 4:04Speaker 3: that story, it was amazing, you know what I'm saying.
- 4:08Speaker 3: So we are hearing that. I knew he was special.
- 4:11Speaker 3: But really, when that black boyfly, I was like, I
- 4:16Speaker 3: was like, Wow, I think we might have the next
- 4:20Speaker 3: West Coast classic album. That's kind of what I was thinking.
- 4:23Speaker 3: And it didn't take me like ten rides, you know
- 4:27Speaker 3: what I'm saying to get to that conclusion. Man, I
- 4:30Speaker 3: thought I listened to him, you know, I was getting
- 4:31Speaker 3: a little bit more knowledge. But I was kind of like,
- 4:34Speaker 3: I think this is the one. I think this might
- 4:36Speaker 3: be the album of a generation. And when I started
- 4:38Speaker 3: talking about it at that time, some people thought I
- 4:40Speaker 3: was just you know, it's funny now because some people
- 4:43Speaker 3: think I'm just new Kendrick Lamar fan when you can
- 4:45Speaker 3: go back and I've been talking about Kate dot since
- 4:48Speaker 3: since vandits lady like, I said, you know, so whatever,
- 4:51Speaker 3: But yeah, man, I knew something special, bab I mean,
- 4:55Speaker 3: I felt like.
- 4:57Speaker 2: It was the one.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Yeah, and just for those like who don't know, and
- 5:03Speaker 1: we just mentioned Kendrick Lamar was one of our first episodes.
- 5:08Speaker 1: The we talked about the control verbs and you know
- 5:12Speaker 1: what that did in hip hop. But I'm like you man,
- 5:15Speaker 1: I was. I was on like I didn't catch k
- 5:19Speaker 1: Dot's mixtapes until I heard Section eighty because when I
- 5:22Speaker 1: heard section eighty, I was like, Wow, this is incredible.
- 5:24Speaker 1: This is like an album you know what I'm saying,
- 5:26Speaker 1: and he's young, but he's talking some real deep shit
- 5:31Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And it just came together
- 5:34Speaker 1: like the albums we knew from the nineties. So when
- 5:38Speaker 1: you know, he had his major debut on the horizon
- 5:42Speaker 1: and I heard when I first heard Swimming Pools, I
- 5:45Speaker 1: was thinking, like, h they are they trying to like
- 5:48Speaker 1: do the you know, we give y'all the street shit
- 5:51Speaker 1: on the mixtape side, but when it comes to the album,
- 5:54Speaker 1: we're going to just give you jams for the radio.
- 5:57Speaker 1: But the more I heard it, the more I was like, well,
- 6:00Speaker 1: now I mess with it anyway. And once I heard
- 6:03Speaker 1: the album, I was you said it right, like when
- 6:09Speaker 1: you know, oh, this is special. This ain't just oh
- 6:12Speaker 1: this is a dope album. No, this is this is
- 6:14Speaker 1: something different, And I agree, Like I felt like at
- 6:19Speaker 1: the time, this is when I was like doing the
- 6:22Speaker 1: early gym test when I would listen to new albums
- 6:25Speaker 1: and I just remember like it kind of had me
- 6:27Speaker 1: in the zone because I was so focused on everything
- 6:30Speaker 1: that was happening. I was just able to work out
- 6:32Speaker 1: and not think about it. But yeah, man, crazy album class.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Concept is basically one long it's like a story for
- 6:41Speaker 2: you know.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Album.
- 6:44Speaker 3: So I mean he I like the way the little
- 6:47Speaker 3: skits or the little times within the album where his
- 6:50Speaker 3: parents on the phone and mom talking about getting something
- 6:54Speaker 3: from the store makes people some gas in my car,
- 6:57Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying like that, and we could
- 7:00Speaker 3: relate to that being like your.
- 7:01Speaker 2: Teenagers, like your parents.
- 7:03Speaker 3: If you're lucky enough for your parents let you drive
- 7:05Speaker 3: before you get your card, you better not bring that
- 7:08Speaker 3: thing back and eat, you.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying, right, And it was a question,
- 7:13Speaker 1: I guess the thing with that album for those who
- 7:17Speaker 1: don't know who are wrapped up in social media battles
- 7:20Speaker 1: and the drake and blah blah blah and all that shit,
- 7:24Speaker 1: what was dope about this album? Like you said, as
- 7:27Speaker 1: a concept, typically most rappers first album is like their biography.
- 7:32Speaker 1: That's how it's supposed to be. Like you're just letting
- 7:35Speaker 1: the world know who you are, what you're about, your people's,
- 7:39Speaker 1: your block, just everything. And Kendrick kind of took that
- 7:42Speaker 1: concept and really dug into it. So it's like it
- 7:46Speaker 1: feels West Coast, but it feels inspired by East Coast,
- 7:49Speaker 1: and it feels inspired by the nineties. But everything is
- 7:53Speaker 1: not like old school sounding or anything like that. It
- 7:56Speaker 1: was just everything and then the skits, like you said,
- 8:00Speaker 1: like we all know if you grew up in the nineties,
- 8:03Speaker 1: boy you press play, you getting some skits like from
- 8:06Speaker 1: most albums, but it was all meaningful and it all
- 8:10Speaker 1: played into the whole neighborhood vibe of the album. So yeah, man,
- 8:16Speaker 1: classic album. You know, y'all should definitely go back and listen.
- 8:20Speaker 1: We know there's been new joints and stuff like that,
- 8:24Speaker 1: and especially if you were somebody was introduced to k
- 8:26Speaker 1: through the battle and maybe you love G and X,
- 8:30Speaker 1: you should definitely go back in the catalog. You know
- 8:33Speaker 1: what I'm saying, to check out good kid Man City.
- 8:37Speaker 1: But what we're here to talk about today ironically, the
- 8:44Speaker 1: first album was also released in October. But it's a
- 8:48Speaker 1: guy who I think at the time, you know, we
- 8:52Speaker 1: all had different opinions about but there was some fans
- 8:55Speaker 1: that were like, nah, But when you look in retrospect,
- 9:00Speaker 1: it's he definitely life a big impression on the game.
- 9:04Speaker 1: So tone tell the people where we talked about.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Man, I'm glad they had this conversation.
- 9:10Speaker 3: But it's also bid a sweet because the brothers no
- 9:13Speaker 3: longer with us, of course, passing several years ago.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Man, But when we think.
- 9:18Speaker 3: About when MC had a moment and then they maybe
- 9:24Speaker 3: disappear for a while and then come back years later
- 9:28Speaker 3: and stuff. But that sometimes we don't know how it's
- 9:30Speaker 3: gonna be. You know, we don't know if that rhymic
- 9:33Speaker 3: gonna still be the same or you know, you know,
- 9:36Speaker 3: did the break hurt him? Like how did Shine for example,
- 9:39Speaker 3: no disrespect he even admitted that, or do they would
- 9:42Speaker 3: it helped, you know what I'm saying, Like there's people
- 9:44Speaker 3: came out of jail, I mean, Tupac, a little bit
- 9:46Speaker 3: of time came out after Milligan's.
- 9:48Speaker 2: World made all that for me, you know what I'm saying.
- 9:50Speaker 2: But in this case, today.
- 9:54Speaker 3: The person who had the biggest man just chat and
- 10:02Speaker 3: you know it's just a new MC, a new artist.
- 10:07Speaker 2: Man.
- 10:08Speaker 3: The biggest transition I've ever seen from in their history
- 10:11Speaker 3: of hip hop.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Nineties group km D guy named zeb Love.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Man personal tragedy that we'll get into disappears comes back
- 10:25Speaker 3: at the height. Were the beginning of what's going to
- 10:29Speaker 3: be a Rackers movement, underground resurgence, all of that. Zev
- 10:35Speaker 3: Love turns into MF doom all cap letters too now
- 10:40Speaker 3: and changes the whole world.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Man, What's some of your initial thoughts made.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Well around the time when while starting at the beginning
- 10:50Speaker 1: with zeb Love acts like I remember hearing him on
- 10:53Speaker 1: a gas face with third Base and I was like,
- 10:57Speaker 1: I like that, dude. You know, It's similar to some
- 10:59Speaker 1: of us who saw Tupac first with Digital Underground and
- 11:04Speaker 1: was like, Yo, I like that dude. You know what
- 11:06Speaker 1: I'm saying, same song. So I felt that way about
- 11:10Speaker 1: zev Love X. I thought he was cool, We had
- 11:12Speaker 1: a nice flow, we had a decent voice to go with.
- 11:15Speaker 2: It, kind of the Quame era, you know all that.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Yeah, he kind of fit the error, you know what
- 11:20Speaker 1: I'm saying at the time, And same thing with kim
- 11:24Speaker 1: D songs you know, were kind of fun, like peach Fuzz,
- 11:28Speaker 1: Like it's crazy you make a whole song about having
- 11:31Speaker 1: a little bit of facial you know.
- 11:32Speaker 2: It had a nice vibe to it had a native
- 11:34Speaker 2: tongue feel too.
- 11:35Speaker 3: You know, mister Hood being the debut album that came
- 11:38Speaker 3: out like ninety one. You know what I'm saying, So well, yeah, man,
- 11:42Speaker 3: yeah that was that was They fit that moment in time.
- 11:44Speaker 1: You know, they definitely, they definitely didn't. I remember feeling
- 11:48Speaker 1: like like anxious to because you know, if you like somebody,
- 11:53Speaker 1: you know you want to hear more music from him,
- 11:56Speaker 1: and feeling anxious about that. But you know, like we're
- 11:58Speaker 1: going to get into everything. And when MF Doom came around,
- 12:03Speaker 1: I did not know that was Zev Love Acts. I
- 12:08Speaker 1: was just like, who's this dude?
- 12:10Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Look, no, you know what,
- 12:14Speaker 3: I haven't spoken to any one yet who said they
- 12:19Speaker 3: knew in Liken eight ninety nine is when he came.
- 12:23Speaker 3: When he came back on the scene, he dropped the
- 12:25Speaker 3: debut and we're gonna talk about nobody.
- 12:27Speaker 2: There was zeb lit x from km D.
- 12:30Speaker 3: A lot of us didn't even know back then that
- 12:33Speaker 3: that that zeb was from the UK.
- 12:36Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 12:36Speaker 3: I know, I know they end up living in I
- 12:38Speaker 3: think you know, they end up living in like Long
- 12:39Speaker 3: Island or somewhere or whatever.
- 12:40Speaker 2: But he's from the UK, him and his brother Richard
- 12:44Speaker 2: p Sil.
- 12:45Speaker 1: That's what's that's what's crazy about it, right, Like it's
- 12:51Speaker 1: almost as if we learned more about him and the
- 12:55Speaker 1: group as tragedy struck. Right, his brother DJ sub Rock
- 13:00Speaker 1: passed away unfortunately.
- 13:02Speaker 2: And that's when he disappeared.
- 13:04Speaker 1: That's when he disappeared. Also their album there they their
- 13:09Speaker 1: sophomore album, Black Bastards, getting shelved mainly because of the
- 13:14Speaker 1: cover was like a sambo who which was yeah, a
- 13:17Speaker 1: part of their image anyway, like and not in an
- 13:21Speaker 1: embracing sambo kind of like mocking it in a lot
- 13:25Speaker 1: of ways. But it was the sambo hanging on the
- 13:27Speaker 1: cover of the second album, and I remember it got
- 13:31Speaker 1: shelved and I'm not gonna lie to you tone like
- 13:34Speaker 1: you know this back during the Source days, I'm thinking, like,
- 13:38Speaker 1: what's gonna happen to zeb love X, Like you know,
- 13:41Speaker 1: obviously he took his brother's death pretty hard.
- 13:43Speaker 2: And now, yeah, they said.
- 13:44Speaker 3: It's come a long time to really you know, you know,
- 13:48Speaker 3: to deal with that and COVID DAN and stuff like that,
- 13:51Speaker 3: and that's when he totally and put it again. Let
- 13:53Speaker 3: me say this too, you know, and bless us to
- 13:56Speaker 3: that situation. But back then, if you didn't look, I'm
- 14:00Speaker 3: a big group or you know artist.
- 14:03Speaker 2: A lot you know what I mean, A lot of
- 14:05Speaker 2: people came out with one or.
- 14:06Speaker 3: Two good songs, even a decent first album, a great
- 14:09Speaker 3: first album, and you never heard from him again.
- 14:12Speaker 2: So KMD disappearing, even if his brother, you.
- 14:16Speaker 3: Know, obviously we wished the brothers was both us still
- 14:18Speaker 3: with us, but if nothing, nothing happened, they might have
- 14:21Speaker 3: not made it because it was so hard to make
- 14:23Speaker 3: it during that time. And unfortunately, even though mister Hood
- 14:26Speaker 3: was good, it's not people instinct, the travels, you know,
- 14:29Speaker 3: it wasn't you know, it wasn't your rush the show
- 14:31Speaker 3: and pay them full. So you know, it wasn't nothing
- 14:34Speaker 3: that's gonna make the second album would have had to
- 14:35Speaker 3: come right back, you know, two three years later to
- 14:38Speaker 3: keep some momental you you turn to you know, one
- 14:41Speaker 3: of those nineties groups of eighties groups that disappeared, or
- 14:43Speaker 3: early two thousand group that disappear man, but.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Him coming back as MF. Dooman. I don't know where
- 14:50Speaker 2: you want a second, want to go at it, but
- 14:53Speaker 2: when Operation Dooms they dropped.
- 14:57Speaker 3: It was it came in the middle of the same
- 14:59Speaker 3: time when you're getting the Black Star album, Pharaoh Mush
- 15:02Speaker 3: and you know, turn a fair situation black on both sides,
- 15:05Speaker 3: training and thought this whole area, know, like ninety eight
- 15:08Speaker 3: when Black Star hit off to like two thousand Fi
- 15:11Speaker 3: Sis and be out in the underground, and the researchers
- 15:14Speaker 3: of that style and flavor of hip hop you know,
- 15:17Speaker 3: came back Lyricis Lounge all that stuff too.
- 15:19Speaker 2: So you know, he came.
- 15:21Speaker 3: Doing a time where you had to be good during
- 15:24Speaker 3: that time too, because you had these heavyweight underground cats
- 15:26Speaker 3: who was really were good.
- 15:28Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 15:28Speaker 3: Black Start really was good, Pharaoh much was really was good.
- 15:31Speaker 3: Em and him at that time really was good. He
- 15:33Speaker 3: had to joint any man on sound bombing too, just
- 15:36Speaker 3: in case somebody trying to fact Jimmie.
- 15:37Speaker 2: He was part of all of that.
- 15:39Speaker 3: Hammon Sadaidaks, all these guys was doing a lot of
- 15:42Speaker 3: stuff at the time, you know, and when MF Doone
- 15:45Speaker 3: came in with the look with the metal Facebook getting
- 15:49Speaker 3: all of that, and it's like, first of all, nobody
- 15:52Speaker 3: was that animated, looked like a character from the you know.
- 15:58Speaker 3: So I don't know, man, It just me first seeing
- 16:01Speaker 3: him and hearing Operations Dooms. I didn't know what to
- 16:04Speaker 3: think because I was like he had his style, unknoath,
- 16:09Speaker 3: the douts, flowing rhyme, man and stuff with going to
- 16:11Speaker 3: most people who really loved him as well as the MC.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Some gradham Seas really loved MF. Doom.
- 16:16Speaker 3: He was so different, vague, but the beats because we
- 16:19Speaker 3: actually got to say this too. The brother wasn't just
- 16:22Speaker 3: an MC because he was an EMC. He was adult
- 16:25Speaker 3: producer and inspire some other producers. Matlin was about that
- 16:29Speaker 3: a few you know what I'm saying. So MF Doo
- 16:32Speaker 3: made Beats Man and Beats Farms of Life.
- 16:34Speaker 2: For real, man.
- 16:36Speaker 3: But I was just thinking, man, when you heard some
- 16:40Speaker 3: Operation Doomsday, bro.
- 16:42Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna lie man. Around the time that
- 16:46Speaker 1: I even like I would see images of that album,
- 16:51Speaker 1: I didn't know what it was. And around the time,
- 16:55Speaker 1: and it probably wasn't ninety eight because I wasn't on
- 16:58Speaker 1: the radio. It might have been even later. He probably
- 17:01Speaker 1: had a couple of projects, but it was later. Yeah,
- 17:05Speaker 1: I was doing strictly hip hop in Baltimore. I had
- 17:09Speaker 1: just started, and I remember like, Dugy Old play Yah,
- 17:14Speaker 1: y'all need to play MF Doom. Y'all need to play
- 17:16Speaker 1: MF Doom. And at first I was like, man, shut
- 17:18Speaker 1: the fuck up, who are you tell me what to play?
- 17:21Speaker 2: Right?
- 17:22Speaker 1: But then you know, I would see and I remember
- 17:25Speaker 1: like we would do this thing. You know. The show
- 17:28Speaker 1: was Fridays from midnight to five a m. But during
- 17:30Speaker 1: the day or during the week, you know, we come
- 17:33Speaker 1: by and listen to music and decide, you know, what
- 17:35Speaker 1: we're gonna play. And I was like, oh, here go
- 17:37Speaker 1: that album, just sitting in the bend and I remember
- 17:40Speaker 1: playing it and I was like, what the fuck is
- 17:43Speaker 1: he talking about? Like who is because it was so like,
- 17:47Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, like at first, when I heard
- 17:49Speaker 1: the beat with the shade samp, I was like, I
- 17:52Speaker 1: might have to play this, like you know what I'm saying.
- 17:55Speaker 1: And then when he started rhyming, I was like, what
- 17:57Speaker 1: is this and I heard.
- 17:59Speaker 2: It wasn't it?
- 18:00Speaker 1: Yeah? And then also it didn't help that dudes who
- 18:04Speaker 1: didn't understand that when you're playing music for the radio,
- 18:08Speaker 1: you're playing for everybody and not just one sector of
- 18:12Speaker 1: fans versus another. So they always wanted something that not
- 18:17Speaker 1: many people were talking about. But I just remember listening like,
- 18:21Speaker 1: I don't know if I could get into this. And
- 18:25Speaker 1: I think when I got interested is when somebody told me,
- 18:30Speaker 1: like one of the interns was like, yo, that's Zev
- 18:33Speaker 1: love X from km D. And then when I went
- 18:36Speaker 1: back and listened, I was like, that is him because
- 18:38Speaker 1: the joys. Yep. Then I kind of opened up a
- 18:43Speaker 1: little bit too, the ron patterns, and even though I
- 18:46Speaker 1: came to like him even more later, that was my
- 18:49Speaker 1: initial thoughts. It was more so like, am I playing
- 18:52Speaker 1: is for radio? Do I like it personally? Oh? Shit?
- 18:55Speaker 1: Is Zev love X? Wait a minute? He made the beats?
- 18:57Speaker 3: Like, you know what, because he's one of those he's
- 19:03Speaker 3: so unique, you know what I'm saying. So he's gonna
- 19:06Speaker 3: be acquired taste for one, you know what I'm saying.
- 19:08Speaker 3: So it's and that's that's not a bad thing because
- 19:11Speaker 3: what he became, and you know, we'll get all there
- 19:13Speaker 3: is it's an underground legend, probably one of the biggest
- 19:16Speaker 3: legends in the underground hip hop is crazy because you know,
- 19:20Speaker 3: I remember him passing my wife, don't listen to the
- 19:22Speaker 3: ground hip hop like that. She's listening to g Z
- 19:24Speaker 3: and t I and all that. But when I said, man, Emma, no, no,
- 19:27Speaker 3: she came downstairs. I was looking at him, and she's like,
- 19:30Speaker 3: I just saw something like some guy named the mL
- 19:33Speaker 3: do because you a hip hop head, Tony, you know
- 19:34Speaker 3: that's my wife said like you got the mL.
- 19:37Speaker 2: Doing with the thing on his face? He died.
- 19:39Speaker 3: I'm huh, you know what I'm saying like, and I
- 19:42Speaker 3: was like, man, you know what I'm saying, like, of
- 19:45Speaker 3: course that's part of the hip hop family. So you know,
- 19:47Speaker 3: if you feel the pain for they loved ones and
- 19:50Speaker 3: stuff like that. And then there's two brothers going to
- 19:52Speaker 3: you know, pretty young one of was very young obviously
- 19:54Speaker 3: the mL for forty nine, but you know, like, you know,
- 19:57Speaker 3: going back to it initially hearing that Operations Doomsday. One
- 20:01Speaker 3: thing that he did that I was waiting for someone
- 20:03Speaker 3: to do, or more people to do, is to take
- 20:05Speaker 3: a shot they sample. You know what I'm saying, Like,
- 20:07Speaker 3: you know he used shot they for the Doomsday song.
- 20:11Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, and it was just it
- 20:14Speaker 3: was just dope to hear that. Obviously, when he started rhyming,
- 20:16Speaker 3: it's almost like he was on beat but offbeat, you
- 20:19Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. Like it's it's hard to explain
- 20:22Speaker 3: MF Doom style, you know what I'm saying, But he
- 20:24Speaker 3: actually influenced a lot of people as MF Doom, you know,
- 20:27Speaker 3: not just his people over over in Europe, but even
- 20:30Speaker 3: underground people here in America also was influenced by his
- 20:33Speaker 3: flow and just kind of the way he constructed.
- 20:37Speaker 2: Songs and it was his production. For example.
- 20:40Speaker 3: Obviously we know about at some point that he drops
- 20:44Speaker 3: another underground classic album that's held it's one of the
- 20:49Speaker 3: greatest hip hop albums of all time and possibly the
- 20:53Speaker 3: greatest underground album of all time. He did with Mad
- 20:56Speaker 3: Lived In, Mad Villainy and Yah Yeah Man Villain and
- 21:03Speaker 3: that came out in two thousand and four. And let
- 21:05Speaker 3: me also preface that by saying that M Food also
- 21:09Speaker 3: came out in two thousand and four. So MF Doom
- 21:13Speaker 3: had two projects dropped in the same year, one in
- 21:16Speaker 3: March and one in November. He's just so he's talking
- 21:18Speaker 3: about MF. The EMM Food is a great album, you
- 21:22Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. That's his solo joint, you know
- 21:25Speaker 3: what I'm saying. And then you have that's like his
- 21:27Speaker 3: fourth album. At that time, he was pumping solo albums out,
- 21:30Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.
- 21:31Speaker 1: He did a couple of things where yeah he had
- 21:35Speaker 1: a bunch of collaborations.
- 21:37Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, a whole lot of that. But this
- 21:39Speaker 3: is the same year when he worked with did the
- 21:41Speaker 3: Drawing a Man a little bit. People still rave about it. Actually,
- 21:45Speaker 3: Pitchfork just did their top we one hundred albums of
- 21:48Speaker 3: all time. I want to say the Man Villain Joint
- 21:51Speaker 3: was like now it's head and I'm just saying, but
- 21:53Speaker 3: that's a xample. If you look at the professional ratings
- 21:57Speaker 3: and stars and all the kind of like Mike's other
- 22:00Speaker 3: you know, outlets, he got like a four point fiveusand
- 22:03Speaker 3: and five like perfect all the way out, you know
- 22:05Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So it's a monumental album in underground
- 22:10Speaker 3: hip hop that stood the test of time when it's
- 22:13Speaker 3: coat following, and this is two thousand and four, and
- 22:15Speaker 3: again there EMM Food album in two thousand and four
- 22:18Speaker 3: as well, So he's blazing He's basically the underground king
- 22:23Speaker 3: in two thousand and four, and a lot of people
- 22:25Speaker 3: his core fan base they knew that, but a lot
- 22:28Speaker 3: of you know, hip hop heads and some casules didn't
- 22:31Speaker 3: know that about MF done On the underground, he was
- 22:34Speaker 3: revered like there's a video of fucking say real quick, Hey,
- 22:39Speaker 3: that's video. You can go on YouTube and put in
- 22:42Speaker 3: most depth talks MF dou He spent his whole song
- 22:46Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, and then he broke down
- 22:48Speaker 3: and talked about some of the lines that MF dooing
- 22:51Speaker 3: was saying, you know what I mean? And he and
- 22:54Speaker 3: also this video one of his last performances. I see
- 22:57Speaker 3: the video when Tyler the Creator uh and and our
- 23:01Speaker 3: future them guys met MF. Doom like one dude like
- 23:04Speaker 3: he's about to cry when he met him.
- 23:05Speaker 2: Bro and.
- 23:07Speaker 3: Tyler the Creator was jumping up and down. So this
- 23:10Speaker 3: showed up behind the stage. They would spending every word
- 23:12Speaker 3: that MF Doom was saying, and we know how big
- 23:15Speaker 3: it was. Start Tyler Creator turned out to be in
- 23:17Speaker 3: hip hop and one of his heroes was MF. Doom,
- 23:21Speaker 3: same with Matt Lives also talked about as one of
- 23:25Speaker 3: the great producers in hip hop, and he said he
- 23:28Speaker 3: heard Operations Doom Day and were like, man, where you
- 23:32Speaker 3: get those samples from? You know what I'm saying? And
- 23:35Speaker 3: the way he was making his beats. He said he
- 23:37Speaker 3: became a fan right then. And then Matt Villain McGann.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Yeah. I think like if people who don't know MF.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Doom and you start, like I'm gonna start with his
- 23:48Speaker 1: first album, Operation Doomsday, right, it's probably the best introduction
- 23:52Speaker 1: you can get to what he is and his style
- 23:56Speaker 1: because his production kind of matched his rum style because
- 24:00Speaker 1: they'll have like game show sounds coming in and Shade's
- 24:04Speaker 1: playing and then there's like boom back drums and it'll
- 24:07Speaker 1: stop and have like some kind of fifties news like.
- 24:12Speaker 2: It has like some Mike like Marvel type, you know
- 24:17Speaker 2: right right right, you know the comic books will yeah.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Like like when you think about it, some people do
- 24:25Speaker 1: this now, like when you see like cats post beats,
- 24:27Speaker 1: but it's like a cartoon from the eighties or seventies
- 24:31Speaker 1: or something like that. Like that was his music.
- 24:34Speaker 3: His music sound that over twenty five years ago. I
- 24:38Speaker 3: mean Obrigda came out in nineteen ninety nine, so he
- 24:42Speaker 3: might have done it.
- 24:43Speaker 2: He might have done it in ninety seven, ninety eight.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Yeah, he was already on it, which that's what made
- 24:49Speaker 1: it interesting real quick, Like I had looked up I
- 24:55Speaker 1: was like, you know, what, what the hell does MF mean?
- 24:58Speaker 1: And when you google it, metal face comes up, even
- 25:03Speaker 1: metal fingers. I guess that was for his production. But
- 25:07Speaker 1: on this project with MF. Griff, which is another dope project,
- 25:12Speaker 1: checking that's another collaboration, he says mad Flows.
- 25:17Speaker 2: He said that, you.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying, And I was like, wow, and
- 25:21Speaker 1: I know when it comes to Doom, all of that
- 25:24Speaker 1: shit means it. But one other thing that I used
- 25:28Speaker 1: to hear about him that was slowly making me a
- 25:31Speaker 1: fan in the early two thousands was sometimes he would
- 25:35Speaker 1: have shows and the niggo on stage wouldn't even be him.
- 25:38Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll just.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Be a darkskinned dude with a mask and people wouldn't
- 25:42Speaker 1: know whether Dune was performing or some duplicate he done
- 25:47Speaker 1: paid or what. And I think, you know what his
- 25:52Speaker 1: career made me think about, and you know we talk
- 25:55Speaker 1: about that too, is what ghost Face wanted to do. MF.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Doom did. Like remember, ghost Face was like, I'm never
- 26:02Speaker 1: gonna show my face. I'm gonna just have the mask
- 26:05Speaker 1: and that's gonna be it. MF Doom did that for real?
- 26:08Speaker 2: You really? Why? You know what? That's that's fun.
- 26:11Speaker 3: He absolutely did, And once he became m F Doom,
- 26:14Speaker 3: he never performed without that mask. He didn't do interviews
- 26:18Speaker 3: without the mask on. You want this if you went
- 26:20Speaker 3: to this, you know his trailer or someone, he has
- 26:23Speaker 3: the mask on.
- 26:24Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 26:25Speaker 3: So you're right, he's literally like when they say those
- 26:28Speaker 3: those method actors when they staying, when they stayed in
- 26:31Speaker 3: character all the time, but he really stayed and he
- 26:34Speaker 3: was MF doing for real.
- 26:36Speaker 1: Yeah, he was.
- 26:37Speaker 2: He couldn't do it.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Ghost Face couldn't do it like he tried. But you know,
- 26:43Speaker 1: I mean it kind of worked out for ghost Face,
- 26:45Speaker 1: you know, you know, but m F Doom kind of,
- 26:50Speaker 1: like you said, he kind of stuck to that for
- 26:54Speaker 1: the time being. But he worked with like Tom said,
- 26:57Speaker 1: he worked with Madly, He worked with Danger Mouse. He
- 27:03Speaker 1: had a whole other project that I thought I didn't
- 27:06Speaker 1: hear before. So I asked the group chat, like, oh,
- 27:08Speaker 1: send me that joint, the Victor Vaughan Jointed. But then
- 27:11Speaker 1: when I started playing, I was like, oh I heard
- 27:14Speaker 1: this back then. This dude had all these different monikers
- 27:18Speaker 1: and mixtapes and albums. It's a lot of music.
- 27:25Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know what, all his production, his beats
- 27:31Speaker 3: to your point a few minutes ago, you made they
- 27:33Speaker 3: all work perfect with him, his production in terms of
- 27:36Speaker 3: like it sounded like something he would wrap over, you.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying. And he was, he was making
- 27:42Speaker 2: those beats. You know what I'm saying that again.
- 27:44Speaker 3: When I said it's about man with a few minutes
- 27:46Speaker 3: ago and Tyler, well, if some of you guys might
- 27:49Speaker 3: not realize Town to Create is a producer also, so
- 27:51Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of his dope songs you love,
- 27:53Speaker 3: he produced it, you know what I'm saying. So get
- 27:56Speaker 3: also influenced by Doom, you know what I'm saying. So yeah, man,
- 28:00Speaker 3: now it's so so dope to think about it.
- 28:04Speaker 1: Yeah, when you think about old odd future Wolf game, ah,
- 28:11Speaker 1: it sounds a lot like Doom, Like just influence.
- 28:14Speaker 3: And then so many people obviously and uh you know
- 28:17Speaker 3: in the UK, but also man, you know having fans
- 28:21Speaker 3: you know on the underground like day Lot Soul where
- 28:23Speaker 3: you know, Grindde come out in two thousand and four
- 28:25Speaker 3: to get MF.
- 28:26Speaker 2: Doom was on fire.
- 28:28Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, because he's he's own joints
- 28:30Speaker 3: with Daylight Soul at that point, but he also has
- 28:32Speaker 3: the EMM Food and the mad Villa and.
- 28:34Speaker 1: Jordan was he on he was on Rock Cocaine Flow, right, Oh,
- 28:39Speaker 1: Rock Cocaine Flow. He was on there. Yeah, Grande joint.
- 28:45Speaker 2: Uh they did.
- 28:46Speaker 3: They performed live on like uh late night talk show
- 28:49Speaker 3: and Doom came out performing Daylight.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember that, and I remember he murdered that.
- 28:55Speaker 1: And for me, in my mind, it kept saying, of
- 28:59Speaker 1: course he did. Love X. I thought he was nice
- 29:02Speaker 1: back then, Yeah he was. He was different, he was
- 29:06Speaker 1: different now.
- 29:06Speaker 3: You know what dope I said real quick is when
- 29:10Speaker 3: they came out with km D, that's kind of like
- 29:12Speaker 3: that native tongue vibe. And I would have imagined all
- 29:16Speaker 3: of them probably ranting each other several times and in
- 29:19Speaker 3: New York and hung out because I was km D
- 29:21Speaker 3: was kind of like the understudy of third Base because
- 29:25Speaker 3: zeb love X a K MF.
- 29:27Speaker 2: Doom.
- 29:28Speaker 3: He talked before in old videos that third that that
- 29:32Speaker 3: MC search basically gave him a chance. You know what
- 29:35Speaker 3: I'm saying and put them on you know what I'm saying.
- 29:37Speaker 3: So that's MC search again, uh help putting, help put
- 29:41Speaker 3: with nas, with los profels, and help with uh zeph
- 29:44Speaker 3: love with km D. He turns out to be MF Doom.
- 29:48Speaker 3: If there's no km D. You know, if if MC
- 29:51Speaker 3: search doesn't help these guys back in the you know,
- 29:54Speaker 3: late eighties and what have you earlier, you know, before ninety,
- 29:57Speaker 3: and they don't become km D, then they might not
- 30:00Speaker 3: ever been an MF du So hip hop is different.
- 30:05Speaker 1: Yeah, And I just looked to confirm it was rock
- 30:08Speaker 1: cocaine flow because I remember, like, yeah, I felt like
- 30:12Speaker 1: that was a doom style beat. Also, you know a
- 30:15Speaker 1: beat that's going one temple so to a statter almost. Yeah.
- 30:21Speaker 1: And even though everybody I don't know, I don't know
- 30:24Speaker 1: who made that beat, I think that's Dyla. I think
- 30:28Speaker 1: I think Dyla might have made that joint.
- 30:30Speaker 2: He can make any he can make anything, so right, I.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Can't I can't remember, so y'all leave it in a
- 30:36Speaker 1: common self.
- 30:37Speaker 2: Y y'all fact you doesn't let us know who made
- 30:39Speaker 2: the beat to that joint?
- 30:41Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, one thing I was going to say
- 30:44Speaker 1: about him, like there's a there's a documentary or like footage.
- 30:50Speaker 1: I don't know, honestly, I don't know what it is.
- 30:53Speaker 1: It's either footage or footage from a documentary or whatever.
- 30:56Speaker 1: But of him and Madly before mad Villainy kind of
- 31:03Speaker 1: first of all, digging for beats, Yeah, on each other,
- 31:07Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about, And yeah, I know
- 31:09Speaker 1: that was all they're talking about. You know, you know
- 31:13Speaker 1: how they became cool and you know they're different methods
- 31:18Speaker 1: or whatever. And you could see it's kind of dope
- 31:20Speaker 1: to see because, like you said earlier, mad Lib is like,
- 31:25Speaker 1: you know, like I rock with this dude, like I'm learning.
- 31:27Speaker 1: You could tell he feels like he's learning something from me.
- 31:29Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And what.
- 31:32Speaker 1: I like about MF. Dune especially sometimes in those interviews,
- 31:37Speaker 1: he didn't have like a he was just him, like
- 31:41Speaker 1: he didn't have a big head about what he had
- 31:44Speaker 1: to say, or you know, whether even when he met
- 31:48Speaker 1: Tyler and all of them, he was like what's up? Yeah,
- 31:51Speaker 1: it was regular. It was regular ship like it came
- 31:54Speaker 1: up author, you know what I'm saying.
- 31:56Speaker 2: So, you know a lot of people liked him.
- 31:59Speaker 1: Yeah, Now obviously there was at some point even with
- 32:05Speaker 1: mad Villainy, Like I think Mad Villainy introduced him to
- 32:10Speaker 1: a broader audience, but I don't think it adored him
- 32:14Speaker 1: to like you said, the hip hop heads who weren't
- 32:17Speaker 1: on MF Doom like that. I still felt like there
- 32:20Speaker 1: was a there were people who still felt some kind
- 32:23Speaker 1: of way about the music. I know, me it was
- 32:25Speaker 1: a little bit. I was a little bit slow with
- 32:27Speaker 1: liking certain things versus not like another video. What do
- 32:31Speaker 1: you feel about or what do you feel it was
- 32:34Speaker 1: about his style that it wasn't digestible to hip hop
- 32:40Speaker 1: fans who or let me just say hip hop heads
- 32:44Speaker 1: who say they care about different flows and styles and
- 32:48Speaker 1: being unique, not really looking at Doom right off the
- 32:52Speaker 1: bat and his music and saying, yo, this is hip hop.
- 32:57Speaker 2: I mean there's a few things, man.
- 33:00Speaker 1: You know.
- 33:00Speaker 3: One is he's not your traditional MC. So let's talk
- 33:06Speaker 3: about East Coast for example. He's not gonna have these
- 33:08Speaker 3: bars that maybe people you know who like the way
- 33:12Speaker 3: Jadak is not raped. He don't rap like them, you
- 33:15Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. You know, you know could put
- 33:17Speaker 3: songs together like them. He is very unique as flow.
- 33:21Speaker 3: It's kind of it's kind of hard to describe it.
- 33:24Speaker 3: You know, it's very abstract with the way he rapped,
- 33:26Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, and even his production it's underground,
- 33:30Speaker 3: but it's even different than what you would have heard
- 33:33Speaker 3: on MF doing album or project. Sound like an MF
- 33:36Speaker 3: doing album project, you know what I'm saying. You know,
- 33:39Speaker 3: Pharaoh and Tyler and most of all them, all the
- 33:42Speaker 3: albums was dope, but it was in the same vein
- 33:45Speaker 3: of production, high tech and all of them, you know
- 33:46Speaker 3: what i mean, So you knew what their eighty eight kids,
- 33:49Speaker 3: Q tip whoever, you know how it's gonna sound, which
- 33:52Speaker 3: is a great day. MF doing sound was so not
- 33:56Speaker 3: like anything else. And then his some people who you know,
- 34:00Speaker 3: quote unquote some of the cool so so called street dudes,
- 34:05Speaker 3: they really don't want to at the time, probably embrace
- 34:08Speaker 3: somebody who got like a got a mask off.
- 34:10Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 34:11Speaker 3: For some of those certain kind of cats, you can
- 34:13Speaker 3: imagine them thinking this dude's corner, yo, you know what
- 34:15Speaker 3: I'm saying, like and but not knowing that he's he's
- 34:18Speaker 3: a dope cat, you know what I'm saying. But you
- 34:20Speaker 3: will probably look at his experience to get corny hear
- 34:23Speaker 3: his voice and flow and be like that ain't my
- 34:26Speaker 3: style because we used to think chopped up a little different. Well,
- 34:28Speaker 3: I'm here in rhyms for you know, for those kind
- 34:30Speaker 3: of So then you got the underground and it's kind
- 34:33Speaker 3: of like eclectic kids just embraced him. Of course, you
- 34:38Speaker 3: know they're gonna embrace you back at home in London
- 34:41Speaker 3: and all over you know what I'm saying, Europe gonna embrace.
- 34:44Speaker 3: But over here a lot of the college kids, quirky kids, skateboarders,
- 34:48Speaker 3: all kind of kids from different black and some black
- 34:51Speaker 3: kids who are kind of like artsy or whatever.
- 34:53Speaker 2: They became mL dude loyalists, you know what I'm saying.
- 34:57Speaker 3: And then the legend group it grew every year, and
- 35:02Speaker 3: he was one of them, people like tech NW who
- 35:04Speaker 3: when he went somewhere, his fan base followed him, you
- 35:08Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. And MF. Doom had a real
- 35:10Speaker 3: fan base before he passed away. And when he passed away,
- 35:14Speaker 3: you know, they showed the love they consistently showed all
- 35:17Speaker 3: the time, and he got even larger after he died.
- 35:21Speaker 3: But that's not a slight when they say somebody get
- 35:24Speaker 3: more feelings when they died or whatever.
- 35:25Speaker 2: He did a lot of work while he was alive.
- 35:28Speaker 3: I mean he had like six solo albums and then
- 35:32Speaker 3: like seven collaborative album projects with other people, you.
- 35:35Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying.
- 35:36Speaker 3: So he had he had like fit at the other
- 35:39Speaker 3: mixtape he had. Yeah, he had a lot of work,
- 35:41Speaker 3: and he produced almost all of his music, you know
- 35:44Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So he wrote it and produced all
- 35:47Speaker 3: his music. So he had a legacy before he passed.
- 35:51Speaker 3: But he got even more famous because a lot of
- 35:53Speaker 3: people who would have overlooked him back then, like you
- 35:56Speaker 3: know what, I'm just searching for other hip hop stuff
- 35:58Speaker 3: over the last decade and some of that, and then
- 36:01Speaker 3: you'd be like you're talking about this MF Doom Dude, Man,
- 36:03Speaker 3: I just couldn't I mean, play it again. Then you
- 36:06Speaker 3: start going through some of the albums here, like this
- 36:09Speaker 3: dude really is dope.
- 36:11Speaker 2: You know, I want to get I want.
- 36:12Speaker 3: To give the listeners to like four or five of
- 36:14Speaker 3: my favorite like Doom songs I wrote down to.
- 36:17Speaker 1: Okay, Well, one thing I'll say is like a couple
- 36:22Speaker 1: of things, like you mentioned with having projects, ghost Faces
- 36:26Speaker 1: talked about him and Doom having a project.
- 36:30Speaker 3: Songs on on one on one of those albums, dude,
- 36:33Speaker 3: he did. Yeah, he was like two or three songs
- 36:36Speaker 3: and it was either Fish Game. It might have been
- 36:40Speaker 3: more Fish, I'm not I'm not sure right now. But
- 36:43Speaker 3: Ghost said he had been trying to get with you
- 36:45Speaker 3: when he finally got chance to get a couple of
- 36:46Speaker 3: tracks off out of him.
- 36:48Speaker 1: Yeah, like he Ghost appeared on the Danger Mouth Amounts
- 36:53Speaker 1: project with him, and you know, obviously they sound dope together.
- 36:57Speaker 2: They respected the joke.
- 37:00Speaker 1: Yeah, he said they have enough songs for an album.
- 37:03Speaker 1: But he also and I can't remember if this dropped
- 37:08Speaker 1: after he passed, like close to when he passed, or
- 37:12Speaker 1: right before or whatever, or when we didn't know he
- 37:14Speaker 1: passed with Czar Faces Our Face meets Metal Face, which
- 37:20Speaker 1: was an album you know that came out. Believed that
- 37:23Speaker 1: might have came out twenty twenty or something like that,
- 37:25Speaker 1: but we didn't find out it came out at the
- 37:31Speaker 1: same time.
- 37:32Speaker 2: Yeah, because people didn't find out to December. But passed
- 37:37Speaker 2: on Halloween, right, And.
- 37:40Speaker 1: A lot of people didn't believe it either because of
- 37:42Speaker 1: those in the past of you know, him playing tricks
- 37:47Speaker 1: with people being in shows, not being in shows and
- 37:49Speaker 1: stuff like that. But like to Tone's point, you know,
- 37:56Speaker 1: ghost Face was saying, like, you know, it's not just
- 37:58Speaker 1: the project with me, like we got joints and he
- 38:02Speaker 1: got a bunch of joints and uh, he left a
- 38:06Speaker 1: lot of music. I agree. I feel like because I
- 38:12Speaker 1: was one of those people who really didn't necessarily get
- 38:15Speaker 1: into it, because I guess I didn't expect it. But
- 38:19Speaker 1: it's weird because he was doing a lot of the
- 38:21Speaker 1: same things that made some people not want to listen
- 38:23Speaker 1: to eminem right, like doom to say some crazy ship
- 38:27Speaker 1: like putting noodles out and you like noodles in your poodle?
- 38:30Speaker 1: What the fun.
- 38:33Speaker 2: You know what's funny. That's what's funny too, he said,
- 38:36Speaker 2: I wrote this down. He said.
- 38:38Speaker 3: He said, might snatch your life like a like a
- 38:42Speaker 3: salt machine. So it's like he's saying salt like they kill,
- 38:51Speaker 3: Like you know, I guess be a salt bad for you.
- 38:53Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, I might snatch your life
- 38:56Speaker 3: like assault machine, like yeah, something like that, and then
- 39:00Speaker 3: also said my mind is Heaven's gates. Aswered me, that's
- 39:04Speaker 3: pretty dope, man, my mind, my mind is Heaven's gates,
- 39:08Speaker 3: answered me.
- 39:09Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, was wild Man.
- 39:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I think to your point, that's that's what it was,
- 39:15Speaker 1: because I know that was the thing with the Hip
- 39:17Speaker 1: Hop Show. They were people who were clamoring for us
- 39:20Speaker 1: to play hip hop. I mean Mad Villain were not
- 39:23Speaker 1: Mad Villain. Well, I guess all of it, to be honest,
- 39:26Speaker 1: but Doom in general, and I kind of feel like
- 39:31Speaker 1: after a while, I guess for me it was different
- 39:34Speaker 1: because you know, it was zev love X and I
- 39:36Speaker 1: had more of an interest around that time. But after
- 39:40Speaker 1: a while I started to see why people really liked
- 39:43Speaker 1: his music and what was really unique about him. And again,
- 39:47Speaker 1: like we said, when you're talking about what hip hop
- 39:50Speaker 1: is and all these damn rules and what people say
- 39:54Speaker 1: the essences, it can't just apply to an archetype that
- 39:57Speaker 1: you like. Hip Hop is a lot of different things.
- 40:00Speaker 1: There's a lot of different flows people from elsewhere, you
- 40:03Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
- 40:04Speaker 2: And those are just sitting it today on Twitter.
- 40:07Speaker 1: Oh word, oh yeah, yeah, we'll say. I got a
- 40:11Speaker 1: question at that at the end, I think, you know,
- 40:15Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, like people got to understand like what MF.
- 40:20Speaker 1: Doom did for the game is something that kind of
- 40:25Speaker 1: unfortunately is more appreciated now than it was when he
- 40:30Speaker 1: was running the streets a live making albums and projects.
- 40:33Speaker 1: I think he was building towards something. But again, his
- 40:36Speaker 1: brother had been in the game since the early nineties. Yeah,
- 40:40Speaker 1: so that's a lot of music. That's a lot of
- 40:43Speaker 1: politics with the industry and radio and you know, you
- 40:47Speaker 1: gotta feeds your family, all kinds of stuff. But I
- 40:49Speaker 1: think he probably would have been able to reap more
- 40:53Speaker 1: of that today as things got you know, a little
- 40:57Speaker 1: bit more opened up, and you know, the minds of
- 41:00Speaker 1: especially the kids, they like a lot. You know what
- 41:05Speaker 1: I'm saying.
- 41:07Speaker 3: Let me show you this real quick as you seem
- 41:16Speaker 3: food here, m hm record. You know, he up there
- 41:22Speaker 3: making beats and stuff now. So he inspired by M F.
- 41:25Speaker 3: Doom also and Knife and uh and for Real and
- 41:29Speaker 3: a few other guys. Man, but Doom is one of
- 41:32Speaker 3: his guys that he's he inspires him also, and the
- 41:35Speaker 3: game is about twelfth grade in high school.
- 41:37Speaker 1: So M.
- 41:38Speaker 2: Doom has that kind of effect on a lot of
- 41:41Speaker 2: young new fans. You know what I'm saying.
- 41:43Speaker 3: He's one of those people, man who is really uh,
- 41:47Speaker 3: you know, gaining you know, And I think that was
- 41:50Speaker 3: gonna happen even if you know he has been alive
- 41:52Speaker 3: because that kind of uniqueness is bally gonna catch on
- 41:55Speaker 3: the more and more people, especially a social media getting
- 41:58Speaker 3: bigger and bigger.
- 41:59Speaker 2: He was gonna, you know, he was gonna still.
- 42:00Speaker 3: Do some of this, I believe, but you know, to
- 42:03Speaker 3: my point, you know a lot of young people are
- 42:06Speaker 3: really reallydiculous.
- 42:07Speaker 2: But I ain't mean to cut off here.
- 42:08Speaker 1: Of course he was gonna ask me, no, you kind
- 42:11Speaker 1: of you actually kind of said it. It was really
- 42:14Speaker 1: more so about what is MF. Doom's legacy in the game.
- 42:20Speaker 1: And I think to your point, right like your son
- 42:22Speaker 1: being in like exhibit A, is there's a generation of
- 42:27Speaker 1: kids who enjoy his music. And he's undoubtedly hip hop.
- 42:33Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Everything about him is hip
- 42:37Speaker 1: hop and.
- 42:41Speaker 2: That's what he did crazy. He won a few people. Man,
- 42:47Speaker 2: I've seen who set Annita Baker, you know what I'm saying.
- 42:53Speaker 1: That first that first album though, Operation Doomsday is such
- 42:58Speaker 1: like it's.
- 42:59Speaker 2: Almost album man.
- 43:01Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like looking at someone who you didn't really
- 43:05Speaker 1: appreciate what was happening because of everything else that was
- 43:08Speaker 1: happening around the time that dropped, and Mad Villainy was
- 43:12Speaker 1: more so like a refinement of what he does, because
- 43:16Speaker 1: I think a lot of that is just the production
- 43:20Speaker 1: is just so fucking dope on Mad Villainy, Like.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know it is, Man. But I'm gonna
- 43:25Speaker 2: tell you.
- 43:27Speaker 3: Like we said earlier, you know, the same year EMM
- 43:31Speaker 3: Food come out and a production on that is that's yo.
- 43:35Speaker 2: He dropped two bankers in the same year. Man, that
- 43:37Speaker 2: don't happen a whole lot.
- 43:38Speaker 1: No usually something most MC's got one in him. I
- 43:45Speaker 1: gotta do this one time and that's that.
- 43:47Speaker 2: You gotta give people a few recommendations too.
- 43:50Speaker 1: Yeah, so go ahead to tell the people you know
- 43:53Speaker 1: your favorite song album.
- 43:55Speaker 3: Got a few of them down, Man. One of my
- 43:57Speaker 3: favorite album actually is Operations Doing you know what I'm saying.
- 44:01Speaker 3: That's my favorite from him. I know that, Man the
- 44:04Speaker 3: Villain album is the most popular in the underground.
- 44:09Speaker 1: Uh.
- 44:09Speaker 3: I would say that my three favorite ones Operation of Doomsday,
- 44:13Speaker 3: Mad Villain, and m M Food. I go back and
- 44:17Speaker 3: forth between MM Food and uh Mad Villain though, to
- 44:20Speaker 3: be honest with you, but I really like all three
- 44:22Speaker 3: of them a whole lot.
- 44:23Speaker 2: The Danger the Danger Mouse, I mean danger Zone is.
- 44:26Speaker 3: It uh.
- 44:29Speaker 2: Yeaheah, yeah, yeah, the one to deal with danger mouse. Man,
- 44:32Speaker 2: it's it's dope. You know what I'm saying.
- 44:35Speaker 3: He got a lot of dope albums though, you know
- 44:37Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like you got a lot of dope
- 44:38Speaker 3: album a lot of dope collapse, you know what I'm saying.
- 44:41Speaker 2: But yeah, my songs.
- 44:42Speaker 3: He got one called the m C the n I
- 44:44Speaker 3: c uh. It's called the mic. That's called the mic
- 44:48Speaker 3: and it's on uh Operation Doom day Man. That's my
- 44:50Speaker 3: probably my favorite uh uh m doom song.
- 44:54Speaker 2: Man. So check out the.
- 44:55Speaker 3: Mic, the m I C Operation Doomsday. I like I
- 44:59Speaker 3: got I got to ask the Doomsday song because of
- 45:01Speaker 3: the sample. I loved that one, rap snitches.
- 45:06Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 45:08Speaker 3: Jesus that joint crazy whole Cake is crazy. You know
- 45:11Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Oh, case is crazy. Yeah, man, like
- 45:15Speaker 3: like there's those those are ones that come to mom. Man,
- 45:18Speaker 3: he has a lot of joints.
- 45:20Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is this is what I was in
- 45:24Speaker 1: before I get my recommendation. But he did do two
- 45:26Speaker 1: projects with MF. I mean with zar Face was at
- 45:30Speaker 1: least before he passed. I was thinking that was just
- 45:33Speaker 1: all one project in twenty eighteen, and then he uh
- 45:38Speaker 1: had another album in twenty twenty one after he passed
- 45:42Speaker 1: called Super What, which was another collaboration with zar Face.
- 45:47Speaker 1: But for me, I'm kind of similar operations Doomsday. I
- 45:52Speaker 1: just like it because it's the raw original, you know,
- 45:56Speaker 1: coming out party for MF. Doom. The other one probably
- 46:01Speaker 1: is Mad Villainy, just because it's almost as if he
- 46:07Speaker 1: just jumped into another pocket on that one, also because
- 46:10Speaker 1: of the collaboration, and then probably the other one I
- 46:16Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, I probably listened to the most
- 46:19Speaker 1: over time was born like this because that track Gazillionaire.
- 46:24Speaker 2: Air, I gotta go back and do the knowledge more.
- 46:29Speaker 1: Yeah, listen to that joint just it's it's one of
- 46:33Speaker 1: those things where we could say, you know, oh yeah,
- 46:35Speaker 1: you might hear this track and he's just randomly rapping
- 46:37Speaker 1: and the beating is happening. But there are times like
- 46:40Speaker 1: Rock Cocaine Flow and other songs where he just stepped
- 46:44Speaker 1: back and pocket like, oh yeah, he can do it.
- 46:48Speaker 2: He can do it right.
- 46:50Speaker 1: Right when you hear gazillion it's like, oh, this dude
- 46:56Speaker 1: is different, Like he he can do whatever.
- 46:59Speaker 2: He can really rap.
- 47:00Speaker 1: Right, he could do whatever he wants. But yeah, man,
- 47:05Speaker 1: like again, like we said, MF. Doom, it's a legend
- 47:08Speaker 1: in hip hop for one of the biggest reasons why
- 47:13Speaker 1: we like care as much about hip hop and its originality.
- 47:17Speaker 1: Like like Tom said, there's nobody like him. There's nobody
- 47:20Speaker 1: who had a career like his where it was promising
- 47:25Speaker 1: in the beginning, and tragedy strikes and your album gets
- 47:28Speaker 1: shelved and all that, you disappear. You pop up at
- 47:32Speaker 1: a time where it's shiny soup Tom Jay z out bad.
- 47:35Speaker 1: But like and you here, you are just like boom here,
- 47:38Speaker 1: y'all go mask I'm not even gonna tell you, I'm
- 47:41Speaker 1: zeb love x you. You really had to listen to
- 47:45Speaker 1: those early records to him say stuff like rest in Peace,
- 47:50Speaker 1: sub Rocket.
- 47:50Speaker 2: You're like, so you had to really be a fan
- 47:54Speaker 2: to even pick up on in those kind of rhymes
- 47:57Speaker 2: and stuff like that.
- 47:58Speaker 1: Man.
- 47:58Speaker 2: But yeah, man, he it was a true original.
- 48:02Speaker 3: It's kind of like in hip hop history, originals are
- 48:07Speaker 3: people like that, you know, one of a kind of
- 48:10Speaker 3: bench marquee.
- 48:11Speaker 2: Old dirty bastard, old MF.
- 48:14Speaker 1: Doom.
- 48:15Speaker 3: You know, some of those kind of people you can
- 48:17Speaker 3: never you know, even even your tupacs are beig and
- 48:19Speaker 3: people tried to be like them, but they just couldn't be.
- 48:21Speaker 3: Some people just want to want they're so unique. Man,
- 48:24Speaker 3: You're only gonna see that one time. If anybody else
- 48:27Speaker 3: tries to do what Doom did, people wouldn't make up
- 48:30Speaker 3: with clowning. They would make a market out of them,
- 48:34Speaker 3: because you can't do what Doom did. You know what
- 48:36Speaker 3: I'm saying, You just couldn't do it.
- 48:38Speaker 2: He did it.
- 48:39Speaker 3: He did it in nineteen ninety nine, and did it
- 48:41Speaker 3: again and was still getting the same love up till
- 48:43Speaker 3: until he died. He was even more famous before he died.
- 48:47Speaker 3: Then he wasn't he when he popped off of the
- 48:49Speaker 3: mL Doom even though he became an underground legend, his
- 48:52Speaker 3: legend just kept growing, you know what I'm saying. So
- 48:54Speaker 3: I think he leads a like I said, a mark
- 48:56Speaker 3: with a lot of young, innovative, talented people, you know
- 49:00Speaker 3: what I'm saying.
- 49:01Speaker 2: And get his name. When you hear you you will
- 49:05Speaker 2: see even some of the biggest.
- 49:06Speaker 3: People in hip hop, when they hear that name, they're like,
- 49:08Speaker 3: oh yeah, respect, you know what I'm saying.
- 49:10Speaker 2: So a lot of other legends in hip hop looked at.
- 49:14Speaker 3: Him as one of those unique one of More's man
- 49:17Speaker 3: and he'll always be respected in hip hop community.
- 49:21Speaker 1: Man, really no doubt. What do you think about and
- 49:25Speaker 1: man if Doom? Leave your comments in the comments section
- 49:28Speaker 1: below where you right there were Operation Dooms they dropped
- 49:32Speaker 1: and was like, I'm a fan and you listen to
- 49:35Speaker 1: everything that drop because there's a lot of stuff, you know,
- 49:38Speaker 1: a lot of mixtapes, remixes, all conds of stuff that drop, demos,
- 49:42Speaker 1: everything different under different names. Victor von Doom, you know
- 49:45Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like M's Doom Doom, like all COSA joints,
- 49:52Speaker 1: including his group collaborations, all of that good stuff. Leave
- 49:57Speaker 1: your comments in a comment section below. We're gonna I
- 50:00Speaker 1: want to do something that we kind of like to
- 50:02Speaker 1: do at the end now, which is more so like
- 50:04Speaker 1: a little soapbox ran kind of sign the thing, but
- 50:07Speaker 1: just coming you know, current conversations tone. Let me ask
- 50:12Speaker 1: you this. I already know the answer because I saw
- 50:15Speaker 1: you comment about it and I did also Benny the
- 50:18Speaker 1: Butcher decided for those who don't know that again, he
- 50:24Speaker 1: wants to say that the hip hop game is messed
- 50:27Speaker 1: up because nerds are running raps and it's no longer
- 50:31Speaker 1: run by the streets tone. I believe that Benny the
- 50:36Speaker 1: Butcher is younger than you and me. I don't remember
- 50:39Speaker 1: at any point where the streets and I don't even
- 50:42Speaker 1: know what that means anymore, when the Streets was running
- 50:45Speaker 1: hip hop. What do you think about and I'm going
- 50:50Speaker 1: to kind of, I guess splash my opinion in there
- 50:52Speaker 1: a little bit, But what do you think about somebody
- 50:54Speaker 1: who complains about specific fans that are also fans nerds?
- 51:04Speaker 1: You know what?
- 51:05Speaker 3: Sometimes man, people are like awareness, you know what I'm
- 51:09Speaker 3: saying right now, being in like awareness, you know what
- 51:12Speaker 3: I'm saying, also being extra sensitive about a couple of things,
- 51:15Speaker 3: because a lot of people when they feeling's hurt or
- 51:17Speaker 3: they bothered by something and they got a certain persona
- 51:20Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, they gotta like they gotta
- 51:22Speaker 3: try to play everybody.
- 51:23Speaker 2: They're soft y'all. Lookle nerdy you know, nerd niggas.
- 51:25Speaker 3: You know that it kind of make you feel a
- 51:27Speaker 3: little better because you actually something right now in the
- 51:30Speaker 3: game got you feel in a certain way. Maybe you
- 51:32Speaker 3: feel like you're getting to love you thought you was
- 51:34Speaker 3: gonna get. When you're trying to go mainstream to dip
- 51:36Speaker 3: jail joint. You know what I'm saying. Maybe you feel
- 51:38Speaker 3: like you know, something ain't being reciprocated. You know what
- 51:41Speaker 3: I'm saying, Things ain't happening. Maybe you thought certain tools
- 51:44Speaker 3: and certain things gonna pop off, and you realize that,
- 51:47Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, it's not.
- 51:49Speaker 2: Where you wanted to be.
- 51:50Speaker 3: You know, maybe you gotta grow something as an artist
- 51:52Speaker 3: and keep it spending. Yeah, I know if he saw
- 51:55Speaker 3: this or anybody's got something to him. You know, they
- 51:57Speaker 3: always tag people all the time. People say, you know
- 51:59Speaker 3: I'm getting I got this, I'm making paper. Okay, well
- 52:01Speaker 3: cooly everything else should be everything, you know what I'm saying.
- 52:04Speaker 3: So the nerves actually buy more ruckers, ten more concerts, uh,
- 52:12Speaker 3: do more streaming for you? The nerves actually were are
- 52:15Speaker 3: the ones putting food on the table so you can
- 52:16Speaker 3: go go had all these other ventures and things of
- 52:19Speaker 3: that nature.
- 52:19Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 52:20Speaker 3: Because the real street dudes, whatever that is, Yeah, they're
- 52:23Speaker 3: not there. When they online, they right online trying to
- 52:25Speaker 3: holler at chicks. You know what I'm saying, They ain't
- 52:27Speaker 3: buying music. You know what I'm saying, They ain't buying
- 52:29Speaker 3: music like that how many so called street dudes at
- 52:33Speaker 3: your concerts?
- 52:33Speaker 1: Bro?
- 52:34Speaker 3: Them nerves in the in the crowd, my dude. You
- 52:36Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. That ain't the hard street dudes.
- 52:38Speaker 3: You think them just nerves in there. And certain college
- 52:40Speaker 3: kids who got you know what I'm saying, Tom, here'll
- 52:43Speaker 3: figure some tms on.
- 52:44Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 52:45Speaker 3: But they college kids, they're not hood dudes, even the
- 52:47Speaker 3: one who got dreads and braids and all that in college.
- 52:50Speaker 2: Bro, you know what I'm saying. So, and yeah, I'm
- 52:54Speaker 2: several years older than him, because had to look that
- 52:56Speaker 2: up too, see how old he was. I knowe I
- 52:57Speaker 2: was older than him anyway.
- 52:58Speaker 3: But I'm just saying, like, Bro, there was not one
- 53:02Speaker 3: time in the history of this culture, maybe before record
- 53:05Speaker 3: deals with Sugar Hills Records and nothing and and repers
- 53:08Speaker 3: are light and all that, maybe some the streets was
- 53:11Speaker 3: you know, really small at the time right there when
- 53:13Speaker 3: the Bronx and stuff like that. So yeah, maybe some
- 53:15Speaker 3: street people had something to do with it right right
- 53:18Speaker 3: there that moment. Once record labels got into hip hop
- 53:22Speaker 3: radio stations, magazines, the main hood dudes made the streets
- 53:26Speaker 3: that the streets never ran hip hop once hip hop
- 53:28Speaker 3: became a business.
- 53:30Speaker 1: So yeah, you're right. It feels like some.
- 53:34Speaker 2: Tagging in the in the segment right here, maybe you
- 53:36Speaker 2: need to learn something.
- 53:38Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know what it's sort of like you say,
- 53:41Speaker 1: you know, it's the it's the rejection, right, so I
- 53:44Speaker 1: feel rejected. Let me turn on the camera. I didn't
- 53:48Speaker 1: learn the first time when I was calling my fans
- 53:50Speaker 1: and nerds and all of that. Now here I go again.
- 53:54Speaker 1: But let's rewind like one week ago a where you
- 53:59Speaker 1: were solicit versus saying that you get a free Benny Verse,
- 54:04Speaker 1: but you had to pay one hundred dollars even to
- 54:06Speaker 1: be in the running. And we know and he know,
- 54:11Speaker 1: like I know, you could put on all your jewelry.
- 54:15Speaker 1: That means you ain't got no bread. You don't see
- 54:17Speaker 1: certain artists doing that unless they need it, you know
- 54:21Speaker 1: what I'm saying, they needed for something. I don't know
- 54:24Speaker 1: what his death Jam situation is. I know he came
- 54:27Speaker 1: out before that album dropped, which I liked the album.
- 54:31Speaker 1: He said it was going to be like DM Mexan
- 54:33Speaker 1: ninety eight.
- 54:33Speaker 4: Again, I don't know if you was locked up or
- 54:38Speaker 4: it was a blizzard in Buffalo at the time, but
- 54:42Speaker 4: when dmxan ninety eight drop, which we got an episode
- 54:45Speaker 4: for two albums, he.
- 54:48Speaker 1: Was platinum quick in the same year Easy, there wasn't
- 54:54Speaker 1: anything like that on a death job, He's again tune.
- 54:57Speaker 3: It's like you said, yah was a tornado X year
- 55:01Speaker 3: of nineteen ninety eight and hip hop was a tornado
- 55:05Speaker 3: only happened a couple of times in hip hop history.
- 55:08Speaker 3: So for one, you don't even want to put your
- 55:11Speaker 3: name next to something like that, because that's probably on
- 55:15Speaker 3: the top five introductory solo years for MC and rap history.
- 55:20Speaker 3: I mean, DMX, you gotta understand both of those albums,
- 55:24Speaker 3: they didn't say like one man each.
- 55:26Speaker 2: We're talking about they're both.
- 55:27Speaker 3: They were both multi platinum in the same I'm talking
- 55:31Speaker 3: about three four million type records, you know what I'm saying, right,
- 55:34Speaker 3: and so we're talking about that level. So that would
- 55:36Speaker 3: mean in today's streaming of albums, you know, being able
- 55:40Speaker 3: to have the stream like Drake or K that's.
- 55:44Speaker 1: Not gonna happen. Also, let's let's just because it. What's
- 55:48Speaker 1: so weird about him making these types of videos without
- 55:52Speaker 1: any real context, Just say names if you mean something else,
- 55:56Speaker 1: don't general Yeah, but this is the same dude who
- 56:01Speaker 1: was kind of trying to like still like, hey, Drake,
- 56:05Speaker 1: are you doing And Drake was like, yo, don't release
- 56:07Speaker 1: that song we did right, because he talked about the
- 56:10Speaker 1: song he did with Drake so much that when it
- 56:12Speaker 1: finally came out, no one cared, but you were waiting
- 56:15Speaker 1: on it, Like he has to understand if you're gonna
- 56:19Speaker 1: call your fans nerves and I'm one of his fans
- 56:22Speaker 1: were also not stupid. So we saw you solicited a
- 56:27Speaker 1: verse saying is free, but people got to pay one
- 56:30Speaker 1: hundred dollars. So you're trying to see that bro. Oh yeah,
- 56:34Speaker 1: it was straight up commercial, Like yo, it's the butcher,
- 56:39Speaker 1: you know, like, yo, you want to do like a song,
- 56:43Speaker 1: you want a verse? Whatever, give it? He said, free
- 56:47Speaker 1: versus and then he kind of went on talking more
- 56:51Speaker 1: and he was like, you know, like like pay one
- 56:53Speaker 1: hundred dollars and I'm thinking, like everybody not getting it,
- 56:57Speaker 1: like a hundred people, Like I think I got a hundred.
- 57:01Speaker 1: You're gonna give one hundred different verses or you're gonna
- 57:03Speaker 1: give everybody the same verse. What you're doing, man, if
- 57:07Speaker 1: you can't even edit that video to not say free
- 57:12Speaker 1: at one point, then say one hundred dollars, but then
- 57:15Speaker 1: call Do's nerds. Now, let me just say this because
- 57:18Speaker 1: I think I kind of think I know what he's
- 57:21Speaker 1: talking about, but they always kind of generalize. I think
- 57:26Speaker 1: he's just talking about and it could be because they're
- 57:30Speaker 1: not talking about him and his music all Griselda in general,
- 57:34Speaker 1: but he's talking about the consonos and not directly right,
- 57:39Speaker 1: like who's running the game as far as having a
- 57:44Speaker 1: voice in hip hop media? Right? The other guy? You know, academics, Right,
- 57:52Speaker 1: A lot of them feel like these guys are popular
- 57:54Speaker 1: and they talk about all these other records, but we
- 57:57Speaker 1: got the dope stuff, you know, we can't and get
- 58:00Speaker 1: the Grammy because of the nerds and only nerds. Remember
- 58:05Speaker 1: this is also toned. I don't know if you saw this,
- 58:07Speaker 1: but this was at least one of those guys that
- 58:10Speaker 1: was talking about the clips not being believable when they
- 58:13Speaker 1: were like burning hot, like in July when his stuff
- 58:16Speaker 1: was dropping and it was like ridiculous. And I don't
- 58:21Speaker 1: want to blame it on Buffalo because I'm from Brooklyn,
- 58:23Speaker 1: New York, but I'm like, yo, this must be some
- 58:26Speaker 1: thirty eight special. Step up. Somebody step up and show
- 58:29Speaker 1: me something different. At least conways quiet. I'll say that much.
- 58:34Speaker 1: He's quiet, he doing his thing, but it just felt
- 58:37Speaker 1: weird to see him do this.
- 58:40Speaker 3: Some of these guys, some of these guys need to
- 58:42Speaker 3: get back to understanding what mystique mean. When we don't
- 58:46Speaker 3: get too much, you know what I'm saying, you always
- 58:49Speaker 3: come out better. And I know everybody not gonna be
- 58:52Speaker 3: a you know somebody like like certain legends who don't
- 58:55Speaker 3: do social media all or only will update ig or
- 58:58Speaker 3: some of the business venture somebody that some of them
- 59:01Speaker 3: gonna do something like that.
- 59:02Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 59:03Speaker 3: They're gonna have certain people who do interact with people.
- 59:06Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, you know, put it off
- 59:08Speaker 3: and on social media, but you can't let them see
- 59:10Speaker 3: your sweat, man, you know what I'm saying, because I
- 59:13Speaker 3: think that when you lose your mistique, some of your
- 59:18Speaker 3: songs and music start sounding different to people's ears.
- 59:21Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
- 59:22Speaker 3: It's like because they start having this vision of you
- 59:25Speaker 3: acting a certain way, you know, on social media and
- 59:27Speaker 3: stuff like that. You know, and you know it happened
- 59:29Speaker 3: to Kanye and several other people like you know, certain
- 59:32Speaker 3: people still rock with thet get me wrong, but it'll
- 59:35Speaker 3: be certain people kind of like you start turning them off,
- 59:37Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, because hey man, you know,
- 59:38Speaker 3: just make your music man, do.
- 59:39Speaker 1: Your thing right. And look, I do get the frustration.
- 59:45Speaker 1: Yeah at the Hartists because I'm a fan. So I've
- 59:50Speaker 1: listened to everything dropped, including you know, summertime Butch two.
- 59:54Speaker 1: I like a lot. I played a lot during the summer.
- 59:57Speaker 2: I just posted a joint rick again on the page from.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: Uh Crazy with him in thirty eight special.
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: But but you know what to these guys, you know,
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: these guys, you know, all mcs have to be able
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: to you know, I know every day with most most
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: celels and whatever feel get on social media somebody telling
- 1:00:23Speaker 3: them how great they are and how amazing they are
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: all day every day. So some of the little hate
- 1:00:28Speaker 3: here and now it's never gonna it's never gonna overshadow
- 1:00:30Speaker 3: the love. But some of them only pay attention only
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: and not somebody saying something that they didn't like. If
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: it's an honest critique, you didn't like the honest critique,
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: then you then you you you whined about something you know,
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: or even if it's hate for every somebody, every you
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, sending somebody's you know, hitting sins
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: hate on you.
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: A thousands of people just told you he was amazing. Right,
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: that's the end of these guys. You know what I'm saying.
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: So nobody should be so upset all the time. You know,
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: you waste. I'm convinient could be in a studio, bro.
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: Yeah, it's some of it also, like it's just old
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: school industry politics. It could be walls he's running into
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: trying to get ahead, you know, here and there, trying
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: to get a spot here and there. And it could
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: be actual industry nerds.
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: All you doing your hip hop, all you're doing your
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: Jim Jones. You know, you know the algorithm.
- 1:01:26Speaker 4: You know you go do that.
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: You know, you start treading a little bit, you know
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So it's all what's happening. It's probably marketing.
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: Too, right, But Jim Jones would never He's never squashed
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: his fans. He'll just say something out he says something
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: crazy like you know, I'm better than big and blah
