Interviewer is proper rude

PRYme 3 lol … this dude is worse than Dre when releasing projects
Always wanted to hear roc talk about how he paints those images in his music..the imagery is so precise!!
He's always been so serious, professional, clear, keen and visionary about his craft and business, respect.
Rhyme Syndicate forever!
Good Interview. These Closed Session guys are knowledgeable and come prepared with good questions. Excellent work here.
The Black GOAT aka DJ Muggs
I was support for devo on tour n the states & prem rocked up at the vinyl signing in NY with his vinyl, I said wow youre Premier, yea such a chill guy, highlight of my life, x
Our friend AaaaaLlllll he's our paaaaalllllll....word up.
There's few heads nicer than Roc yo.....on more Alky beats? I wouldn't mind Roc w/ muggs again either. Roc is that dude. Bones II would be live.
Yo.......35 joints with Roc? Drop a deuce yo🙆♂️
Peace to Al big time. But, off the convo, peace to buck 50....I've always felt buck too. You're walking down a dead end street....wholly moley yo.....alot heads don't know some buck 50. I am I worst enemy, my mind has 10 personities....heads don't even know. Buck is dope b.....real underground shit...
love the instinct bit! Muggs is a real one! Big up, love from Romania!

DJ Muggs HIP-HOP Royalty 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey Alex- it’s suzie. I know you will probably ignore this, but I want to mention this anyway. I want to apologize if I acted out of sorts that night but I felt very uneasy around Dj Muggs. Something felt off about him and I had to drink heavily to calm myself down. It came with occasional social anxiety around people who I felt an off energy around. You got the wrong impression of me. I certainly did not show up to that event because of some mere schoolgirl crush that I developed on him but because I became very immersed in his music. A lot of his older material, including Grandmasters actually helped pull me out of a very bad depression. It inspired me to play chess again- I gave that up years ago. His sounds were beautiful and tranquil. His life was interesting to me. I’m not going to elaborate exactly why right now. I wanted to say that I support what you do. It’s very dope and innovative and I appreciate that you’re keeping underground hip-hop alive in Chicago in your own space. It’s a very cool concept- mad respect🙏 Unfortunately, I’m not going to support Muggs and while many people do, that’s fine. But the way he carries himself, is very smug and pretentious and getting his significant other to spy on my social media, then subsequently making a mockery of me, being insincere and running away from me when I was undesirable or unappealing to him, was juvenile. I would have respected him much more if he would have politely told me that he didn’t want to lead me on and wasn’t interested. What he did was unacceptable. I wouldn’t expect that from a man in his 50s, yet he lacks a lot of maturity for his age. Dj Muggs may be talented and legendary but he’s a hypocrite. He is the very epitome of the current sex-crazed, materialistic hip-hop industry. He’s pretentious, a phony person and shallow. His presence was that of a cocky, dishonest, arrogant a**hole. I’m not even mad about his rejection anymore. It’s the way he did it which made me completely lose respect for him. I had to seek therapy after my interaction with him. All of you think he’s professional and a good person right now… but I think he’s insincere, smug and puts on a good act because he doesn’t want people losing respect for him. Nobody cares what I have to say because I’m really a “nobody” - fuck it…I’m a person too. This video shows just how much he’s changed over 20 years. This was the Dj Muggs that was a lot more humble, respectful and genuine. People are oblivious to reality because they have a lot of respect for his status and that’s fine. But my opinion still stands. You don’t treat a person like that, especially a female. It’s very telling that the industry hardened him. I’m not saying all of this to sound malicious- this can really benefit him. I hope that one day when he’s a lot older than now, maybe he’ll finally understand. It’s devastating to say that, but that’s the reality. Cheers- Chicago strong. ruclips.net/video/JUrA_BWANxU/видео.html
Salutations🙏
Anyone know what model of Alpha jacket that is?
muggsssssssss
Salutations
That's wild muggs didn't like black Sunday. That joint is hands down one of the best hip hop records ever. To this day, those beats on that joint are live as fuck. Classic
acrobatics fakeass lol he's really true my main man
I believe this might be his last interview. RIP Clark!
Muggs and Cypress Hill did a lot for HipHop. Even the rock and heavy-metal people had love for Cypress Hill. Probably still do
Definitely he has matured, solidified, held the torch and inspired in the hip-hop community! Some european descent people in the hip-hop community, don't get the flowers they deserve! Majority of them aren't even vultures to the culture! Most brothers put in real work, and definitely surpasses mumble and trap mofos!
That Muggs x Rigz “Gold” album is HARD.
THAT DODGERS JERSEY, THOUGH. LOS ANGELES LIFE‼️
Yo just blaze!!!
Definitely love that Muggs is a mature human. Appreciate the interviewers. Always room for improvement. Study interviews, the mannerism and tactics of the interviewer. Don’t drink while interviewing.
🫡 THE BLACK GOAT
🔥
I wonder how hard it is for Muggs to entertain some of these questions.
ha! He loved it though. We've done two events with Muggs since this one.
right…he certainly chooses when to be polite
shoutouts Preem and all his family, can't wait 3rd Phryme, salute !!!
Salute from Paris, Monsieur Muggs.
Im an honorary Soul Assassin. Emoji de fuego
Clean ass hat muggs.
Where can I buy? Hat
Mi Vato Muggs is The 🐐🇲🇽✊🏿💀🍃💨 CH And SA Por Vida! He’s in my Top 5 Hip Hop DJ’S / Producers of All Time
Isn’t he white and Italian
Appreciate the game shared here!
Thank you for watching!
SOOOOOUL ASSASSIN'S
I was about to say that tag just now!! LOL
I really wanted to hear from DJ Muggs. He doesn't do many interviews. But by about 7 minutes in, the big guy in orange kept talking over him and cutting him off. Unfortunately, I had to turn it off.
The good thing is that guy left the interview right after the 7:43 mark
Muggs and Gza album bangs!!
I was listening to that album today.
GRANDMASTAAAA
Gangstarr forever and rest in peace to my brother guru
🙏
The legit GRANDfather of so much that's dope in rap, right now...
No Muggs no RZA
Explain
@@BENJAMIN-nz6ndnot gonna be able to that!
@@BENJAMIN-nz6nd two or three years before Wu dropped Muggs was using the samples a lot of people had but wasn't using quantization so the loops sounded off kilter, the soul singer voices he used, the classic break beats and piano loops the darkness of the beats...it's a definite influence. And I'm saying it as a fan who saw it unfold back then. First time I ever heard Wu it was pretty clear. Not saying RZA took his whole style but he was influenced by Muggs and Muggs ended up doing an entire album with GZA
@@brooklyn_geek hard, that’s a good explanation, definitely didn’t know that. Rza a playmaker tho, what we talking style or history? Lot of cold jumpers not a lot of Kobe type players
@@BENJAMIN-nz6nd I think people forget that the landscape was a LOT smaller then so when one cat did something different it made waves. I wasn't trying to take anything away from RZA at all but I think Muggs style might have made RZA say to himself that he was on the right track and leaned into the technique more. None of these guys were doing anything cookie cutter style. Everyone was trying to stand out but if you really study the production at the time those two were the first two who consistently used samples that were slightly off beat on purpose and really made THAT a cornerstone of their styles. Both very unique but definitely on the same plane
Was Picasso appreciated at 70 ? Or was he appreciated more so after he died?
Boom bap was 1st termed by T La Rock on 1984’s It’s yours(1st Def Jam record; Streetwise/Partytime) KRS of course revised it hence “Return of the Boom Bap”
Thanks for sharing that! Much appreciated. I think I was asking more about how boom bap is a genre now or used to describe Premier-style music.
I GOT CYPRESS HILL BLACK SUNDAY FROM SANTA 🎅 MY MOMS THE 💩 LOL~ OH I GOT DOMINO & THE OFFSPRING ON TAPE LMFAO😂 #yOunG 🪖🌴🕊 #youngOG ©️👻💲🅿️🧩⛩️ #dAy1 🙏☮️❤️✝️
Kinda amateur interviewing... dudes interrupt a lot...
Appreciate the feedback. It's also a live and communal experience. But feel you and thank you for watching.
An irritating prick
What song is that at the end of this interview!!?? 💥💥
