This was an OUTSTANDING interview from start to finish!!! There are truly no words to express my level appreciation and respect for this young brotha"s intellect, passion and love for our people!!! Thank You!!! 💯💯💯
Dopest interview seen this far. I overstated because I’m unplugged. Protect the information but share with those who are willing to sacrifice what’s necessary for the next generation.
Dizaaam you late than a mug, but welcome !!! Symba a true bar spitta & MC's like him & Coast Contra got me believing that real hip hop will make it back to the forefront !!!
From Antioch,CA... It's a blessing to see you make it to this platform. Since Middle school. Proud to see you make it young man. Symba you are an example from our environment
Simba not wording it exactly, but he's saying: selling rap itself as music via product is dead... But rap as an art in other content is always gonna be.
This definitely one of the bible level episodes, can't wait for the symba album symbology where he just spitting over symbols making sure niggas copy that like kinkos.
This interview has to be in any conversation about Math's MEO best ever. Great and very inspiring and insightful stuff. Symba a real one. I wish him all the best for whatever lays ahead in the future. His passion for the culture shines through. Wonderful show.
They taking shots at you because you honest, and you have Blessings all around you. Keep on staying solid,humble, always remember what got you where you are. Never take the bad for granted, elevate. One of my favorite interviews.
2:09:31 You got it youngin.. tighten up.. Its frustrating watching his frustrations. Recalling similar frustrations around that age. Realizing what they showed you was bs because you can’t transfer tangibly to your community. I tried in the late 90s/2000s in my hood. Buying books rebuilding , rec centers, refurbishing pools. The kids loved it.. the city officials gave me all the push back 😢
Much respect Symba from Boston to Cali 🙏🏾💯 #617, u got a lot of hip hop purists and connoisseurs that still fuck with real music and lyricism, that will NEVER die
Symba didn’t make a mistake and call the show “unpopular opinion”. He slipped a gem in there. That made this interview even doper . Symba is really trying to free the minds of the people with a shameless plug.
As far as that Game situation goes, I believe Game pulled Symba to "The Light" by saying his name in that LA Leakers freestyle to shine on his lyrical abilities because he knew Symba can really go up, not just cuz he felt the heat coming from his direction but to simply highlight another real west coast artist who needs to be in the forefront of the new Era of hip hop
symba go crazy. Real deep conversation topics. Watched all the way through. Symba you blessed wit communication skills and the willingness to listen creates an open mind perspective for yourself. It’s good to see a man in this mindset and being an influence.
I listened to his album a month straight because he talking that real talk I felt more than a few songs but I get what he saying this music is a stepping stone now
1:34:39 It’s interesting to hear Symba view point of Hip-Hop. I’m glad Mecca put it in perspective. Ironically Symba is giving me hope. He’s saying Hip-Hop ain’t commercial no more? GREAT!!! Maybe ppl will stop “clout chasing” 😂 rap. Leave the culture to those of us who really love it.
IMHO Drake and 21 savage had the biggest album last year, and at one point the whole billboard top 10 was their album. Coachella and the other major music festivals have a rapper headlining or under the headliner. Lil baby is the littest rapper and has bars (don’t sleep on lil baby). Lil baby is one the most watched U.S. music artist on vevo via RUclips. Rap is not dead. If anything real rap is coming back after 7 years of mumbling madness and fake gangster rappers and old school disrespect. It’s a whole different era now. I think rappers are rapping a better today than they have the last seven years, ever since the term “mumble rap” was created. Symba was trying to say that the way rap is marketed is different today. Completely different and I agree. And btw symba if you read this: I fuck with you because of your RAPPING brother man brother man. This podcast just made me fuck with you even more gang 💯💯 Great episode
Very dope episode! On top of being a very dope lyricist, Symba is definitely a thought provoking, intelligent young Brother! Salute to Symba and the whole MEO crew!
@@404allante I'm from the Era where you don't/can't "write freestyles" freestyle comes off the top-you rapping what comes "freely" right then In your head
I used to think that, too but someone broke it down for me. There is a difference between rapping off the top and a freestyle. A freestyle is a rap that doesn't necessarily have a topic or underlying theme.
@@esva835 respectfully that’s incorrect. A freestyle has always been off the top until the goal post was moved maybe 10-15 years ago. I ran around Project Blowed in south central every Thursday night where if you spit a written you’d be laughed at or possibly punched in the face. Written verses should never be classified as a freestyle ever, but times have changed and I’m not mad about it
This interview just made me subscribe to the channel 🤔 and I never even heard of this young man _ but I will be looking him up and supporting his movement 👑 #PLEZHUR ✨ #MyExpertOpinion #Symba
I agree w Mecca that AI rap was hokey. Also how would AI know the meaning of the latest slang. AI always a step behind because it don’t create. It mimics.
I’m a bit old but so I never heard of Symba , but My God, talk about music w message ‼️If it ain’t over a beat than it’s ILL ASS POETRY. Made me think of Chuck D….”I don’t rhyme for the sake of riddlin “ This young man got it together in a special way. 🙏🏼
I think what Symba was saying about Rap is dead is that you need extremely high streams to make a profit & it’s very hard for rappers to reach that because the masses mostly want simple rap
everything SYMBA said in this interview hit home I felt my nigga I damn near cried wit him cuz I'm in that same space! i felt my nigga,ifelt my nigga!!!!
Awesome interview...Mecca need to chill he's ALWAYS trying to counter what the artists is saying in large....SYMBA is the exception, yet as a whole in this music world he's💯💯💯accurate!!
A great portion of what symba was tryna say was not cohesive at all Mecca was right to contest and argue symba's point. glad he did tbh bro wasn't really making a lot of sense and he got the name of the podcast wrong 😂😂😂

You are from Antioch to? Do you think that symba will talk about the racist Antioch PD out there. Who just had that big ass scandal
@@Harlem1mentality no that scandal haa relevance on hip-hop my brother

Great interview gentlemen! Symba has a specific POV. Everyone doesn’t have to always agree, but it’s nice to hear the differing viewpoints!💯💯💯
This interview has to be in any conversation about Math's MEO best ever. Great and very inspiring and insightful stuff. Symba a real one. I wish him all the best for whatever lays ahead in the future. His passion for the culture shines through. Wonderful show.
THIS GO BE ONE OF THE TOP INTERVIEWS OF THE YEAR 🔥🔥🔥
No lie! I agree. This episode touched deep!
SYMBA needs to be protected. He is an ocean of wisdom!
They taking shots at you because you honest, and you have Blessings all around you. Keep on staying solid,humble, always remember what got you where you are. Never take the bad for granted, elevate. One of my favorite interviews.
Math's face at 50:48 after hearing that AI Jay Z verse says it all.
1st time I shed a tear watching the show. He was talking some real ish.
He really was… straight gems made me think different about a lot of shit
This episode should have way more likes than 300. This is dope. I felt his pain. Talking about compassion!
This interview going down in history💯 Incredible interview.
Good comment.
Protect King SYMBA by Any Means Necessary 💯

Great interveiw, salute to Symba 🔥🔥🔥
Dude is solid. Fire interview
THIS EPISODE IS WHAT EMMYS ARE MADE FOR !! ⛽️⛽️🏆🏆🏆🏆
Symba literally spent the first part of the interview providing the answers and the second part of the interview saying he don't know the answers.
Math- “You’re fuckin that line up tho” 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 I caught that too
Dope interview Symba real spill thanks Hoffa Gang 💯🔥
VERY ENTERTAINING episode. BIG fan of Symba. Bruh was tipsy because he wasn't tying his arguments together. He was all over the place lol
Hilarious
Lol, agreed. I'm a fan too. Great episode and top comment.
Symba didn’t make a mistake and call the show “unpopular opinion”. He slipped a gem in there. That made this interview even doper . Symba is really trying to free the minds of the people with a shameless plug.
One Of The Best Episodes By Far Hands Down 😮💨🏆
This is instantly one of the best interviews for sure. Now I’m watching the Jordan sports takes “Bird got a ring” RINGS****
Dope episode, respect to the hoffa gang
Dead silence when he say WHAT WE GONNA DO TO GET US OUT THIS SHIT?? 2:15:54

I'm giving Mr Mecc his props. Long overdue in my humble opinion. Peace from the UK 🇬🇧.

1:18:38 FACTS!! Some started to be called “the best”. Then they started moving the goal post. Tryna change the criteria.
Super dope episode keep up the great content 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Didn’t know about Symba but now one of my favourite dudes. Funny we share the same birthday. 😅
I’d love to see Jadakiss and Symba in a debate.
Great stuff.

man this conversation bumped yall podcast show to my top 3 fasho
Love This . THANK YOU SYMBA FOR KEEPING IT REAL. YOU THE BEST AND MUCH ❤ TO YOU BRO.
Excellent episode 💎💎💎
I cut for Symba dope artist but when he said, “I’m a rap historian!, and when I go ‘write’ these ‘freestyles’ “ I was like naw bro start over!😂
He ghost writes freestyles for other artist. He said it in another interview

I agree w Mecca that AI rap was hokey. Also how would AI know the meaning of the latest slang. AI always a step behind because it don’t create. It mimics.
It's a big sampler. A musician will pretty much always smoke a person who samples
hes right lola brooke’s song came out summer 2021
Symba skill/aggression philosophy was spot on imo.
Interesting take on the AI in Music situation. I love how Math comes back in at 51:49 and says," Yo, get an AI to generate my response."
Greatest episode of the greatest show in the world world world world world
This Content is a Gem 💎

Him and bro with the dreads going back and fourth was funny asl the whole interview. This is a classic. Good one brothas
Interview that needs to go viral!!
That's exactly how I feel 4:05 salute to Symba 🔥🔥🔥
This is the only interview that's gonna matter for awhile
I was rolling how he kept naming jordan teammates as people he played against 😆😅....it's all good youngin...keep rapping
What separates the good from the great? Being able to do it in a different space.
I agree about parents introducing their kids to Hip Hop!
Ik what listening to at work tomorrow starting from 1st episode 💪🏾💪🏾
Best pod by far
1:02:15 In actuality he’s saying that bcuz it’s his idol. Jay was never no. 1 in sales in his entire career. Symba showing his youth there.
My brotha symba, don’t compare and contrast your journey to the melodic rappers. Be present, be grateful and keep adding to your arsenal!
I think what Symba was saying about Rap is dead is that you need extremely high streams to make a profit & it’s very hard for rappers to reach that because the masses mostly want simple rap
That Flex freestyle makes me get teary eyed.
This is fire 🔥 😮😮😮 lovin’ it guys 😎🤜🏽🤛🏻🎉🎉🎉 keep on doing your thang guys cause y’all are gettin better over the past year fo real!!

Been patiently waiting on this one❤
LL, Rakim, Kane, KRS, GRap, Slick Rick and Kane are the Templates to all other rappers!!!
That Jordan argument ties back to mook being a legend coz there was 8 of them battling back then😂, bro that big k angle is monumental
