32
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: From a hip hip hop question, we talked about like

33
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: you being categorized as a conscious wrapper, but you also

34
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: obviously looking at your battle where ice you. I'm wondering

35
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: what's your perspective on seeing what now would be considered

36
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: a conscious rapper? And Kendrick Lamar have a battle with

37
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: the most popular rapper and win, and now he's actually

38
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: ascended to like the number one position. It's an interesting

39
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: dynamic right where his music is in the vein of positivity, revolutionary,

40
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: but he's still dangerous. It should be dangerous, right, So

41
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: like do you got do you have like some like

42
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: pride in seeing that.

43
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: Put the flag down.

44
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: Shout out to Drake.

45
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: No disrespect to Drake, but I'm just saying.

46
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, well listen, let me okay, let me answer those

47
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 4: things directly. So, first of all, Kendrick is a masterful artist,

48
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 4: like one of the greats. Before the Battle, he was

49
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: like he won a Polard surprise for raps. You know

50
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. That's how great of a writer he is.

51
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 4: And each one of his albums have been different, unique,

52
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 4: dope like you know, and that's what it is to do.

53
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 4: One of the greatest in any generation. Drake is one

54
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 4: of the most talented songwriter artists to do them to

55
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 4: do music, man, like, one of the most successful. To

56
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 4: be able to make songs like at that level and

57
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 4: be making hits over and over. That says something because

58
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: even pop artists that they had some big hits, they

59
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: don't last decades. So Drake is a super talented dude.

60
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: The Battle, I got to say, I was like, man, Initially,

61
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 4: I was like, wow, this is real. These dudes are

62
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 4: going at it because Drake was delivering. And then Kendrick came,

63
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: and then Kendrick kept giving them flows and then he

64
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,839
Speaker 4: just like did what he had to do and just man,

65
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 4: he came out the victor. He was a victor like this,

66
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: point blank. He won. And it's is it like if

67
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 4: you're asking it's a victory for me, I think it's

68
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: just a victory for hip hop that that battle went

69
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 4: down the way it did and had people paying attention

70
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 4: to lyrics and hip hop, like different generations was paying

71
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 4: attention to that. Like I had some of my youngins

72
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 4: hitting me up like, Yo, you hit a new one.

73
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 4: And then people my age hit me up like, yo,

74
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 4: you hit what? You know?

75
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: You hear what?

76
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 4: Drake just dropping? You know what Kendrick said. I think

77
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 4: it does. I love that Kendrick is within a battle

78
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: is able to give you like lessons and spiritual like damn,

79
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 4: not just but the truth. Truth. It's like this dude

80
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 4: dropping like knowledge and still battling. It's like ridiculous. But

81
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 4: that being said, it's funny you said, like some of

82
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 4: he's a revolute lutionary still dangerous because when we think

83
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 4: about it, our revolutionaries were dangerous, like like Fred Hampton Chicago,

84
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 4: he was dangerous, like but dangerous for the right thing.

85
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 4: Shoot Malcolm Max dangerous aside, I should call it dangerous

86
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 4: and A wait that they are dangerous for their people.

87
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 4: And at the end of the day, Kendrick is dangerous

88
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 4: for his people. So I got nothing, but you gotta

89
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 4: protect them love or protect our people.

90
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: How much did it make people go back and revisit

91
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: old battles, because right once they say that battle, it's like, oh,

92
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: that's the greatest battle of all time, and we're living

93
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: in that moment and people are like, well, nah, there

94
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: was this either thing that happened. It was like, nah,

95
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: there was like I see the bitch of you. So

96
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: now it goes back, people get to revisit it. How

97
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: much of it was brought back like a little bit

98
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,119
Speaker 1: nostalgia for you, Like, yeah, we were in that moment.

99
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: We've grown past it, but like I remember that fire

100
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: that I had.

101
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was more like people was bringing

102
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: up the battle I had with Cube and the battle

103
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 4: I had with Drake. Yeah, that's the fact they brought

104
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 4: that they would bring that up. But I was like, listen,

105
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 4: first of all, we both those battles got squashed this now,

106
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: so I appreciate that y'all loved it. We had the battle.

107
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 4: I was worn at that time, but you know, I'm

108
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 4: just watching the battle now, so don't drag me in.

109
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 4: And somebody was like yo, I was like, no, don't

110
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 4: drag me in. I'm good man, let me let me

111
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 4: watch this and just enjoy it because they both going

112
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 4: in and I think it was I would have to say, man,

113
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 4: it probably was the greatest battle we've seen. But and

114
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 4: even if you feel something else was back in the time,

115
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 4: it's still one of the greatest, Like you know, it's

116
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 4: it's like it's because that back and forth. We you

117
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 4: didn't have that much back and forth, like right direct

118
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 4: and have all the artwork to go with it. And

119
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 4: it was levels today battles videos.

120
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: Shot they were doing ten minutes later he dropped the

121
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 3: joints stepping on each other's tracks. That was definitely And

122
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: now we got the Super Bowl. Will it dissipate?

123
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,559
