When Cormega is talking about how he talks to his fans, he means it. I sent him a message once telling him his music means a lot to me and named the track "Rapture" as one of my favorites, mentioned a few things about my life and how his music has been with me through some shit. He responded, and I thought that was it. MONTHS later, I get a message that says it's from Cormega. He says "if you love Rapture then check this track out" with a link to one of his newer songs. This dude is really about his fans.
Cool story bro
9 out 10 times he always responds.
What song was it that he told you to check out?
@@paulhonore1885yeah he responds to people genuinely and so does illaghee
I remember buying The Realness when it came out and a guy standing behind me said "who you gettin that for, ya man". I'm like nope its for me. LOL! I listened to that album at least 100 times.
He lowkey wanted to tell you that you’re the girl of his dreams
Love you 😍
@@mikejones9175 I guess y'all are going to keep bs'n me with the bull on a bad day, huh? Lol! Im appreciative, its sending positive vibes. Be blessed!
@@kstarrr ig ?😁
😂 I see why he said that but that’s a dope story
Cormega is an intelligent brother. All I knew about him was through music and print. Shout out to Drink Champs for giving these artist a platform to speak.
Nicely put Sir
WORD!!!! They needed this episode this one was a different!!!
This brother is talking the truth and very intelligent and is pushing for greatness and is using his time to educate people instead of talking about him self but helping others.

See how much better the interview is when he doesn't interrupt
Legendary interview. “Guns should be the last resort, not first response” -Cormega

"Pride is that instigator that is never around when the consequences come" - Cormega 1:25:45
Now I'm watchin waitin for this line . 🔥🔥🔥
Only thing I have to say is mega making it seem as nas wrote it off his letters, when nas clearly says in the song, "What up with Comeau? Did yall see him are yall together? If so, hold the forte down!' That don't sound like they were all that cool if he is asking the crew about em. If they was cool, nas on his books and they know what's what... something dont sound right.
@@Benit4real you talking about one song he's talking about years of knowing this man..maybe you don't have a clue about they relationship
@@LegendofOdum I'm going off what he said in reference to in the interview and that time period of events mentioned at that time. You are correct. I know nothing of the relationship but I'm going off of details HE said and the interviews that Nas gave about that time period. Attention to detail my guy. There's always 3 stories... His, his and the truth.
wow! 🔥
we shoulda had years of Nas, AZ, Mega music
Exactly 💯
Would've been monumental and untouchable
@Houdini thats the truth. That AZ and Nas album never happened because AZ is a general and he'd probably be expected to be in Nas pocket following the leader
Years
Nas doing more collabos with them dudes? Ain't happening..
Fun fact: I was one of Cormega's web admins for his forum message boards. This was 20 years ago. Mega and Mobb Deep with Infamous Stores were ahead of the game as being artists who interacted with fans.
P owes me $20 for the Best of P cd that he never dropped. lol
Do you build web pages?
Facts. I remember the Mega Legal Hustle days, Infamous Stores days when P would post blog entries in all caps lol, the Nas forum days, QB’s Finest forum days, Nature’s For All Seasons forum days, Ali Vegas Generation Gap forum days. Crazy fun times and a lot of behind the scenes info
@@sinematic06 Respect! You know your history especially with P typing in all caps.
@@MrBean617 Better hit up his estate. Hope you printed out that receipt, lol.
Cormega is the 1st artist in music history to do a mixtape and receive an award. Cormega made history!
Historic
Didn't So Far Gone get a grammy?
Faxxxxxx everybody give that credit to 50.but mega definitely pioneered that wave 🌊
@@KM-ix3ms nope in 2016, Drake's If You're Reading This It's Too Late became the first mixtape to get nominated for the award, and in 2017, Chance the Rapper's Coloring Book became the first mixtape to win the award
@@ShyneFourTenFOE"To receive an award." He didn't say to win a Grammy or to be nominated for a Grammy. Drake and Chance as you mentioned were "First's for that award (Grammy)." Although, the history for who wins the Grammy in regards to rap album and album of the year has always been bias and status quo, but that's another conversation.
Get AZ on here he’s a underrated rapper much respect to Mega💪🏾
His day is coming and I can’t wait
@@hiitsme3039 I hope so he has a lot of history
My FAVORITE RAPPER!💪🏾💪🏾💯💯
@@paulmallory4102 man AZ is the total package as a rapper. Him and Nas my top two I got him over Nas as my fav
AZ would be a dope interview tbh
I bought every Mega album multiple times over the years, still always keep his name in my playlist. Back in the day he was "The Realness" and its funny that 2 decades plus later... He still is.

Super Facts
Pump this in ya jail cell
Yess great memories!
Facts I found that album in highschool lucky me. My friends didn't even know who he was.
He was the one to say "you industry, we In da streets..."
Nore: You got like one of the best jail shoutouts...
Cormega: I know... I want a home shoutout...🤯
Just finished bumping "War Report" Nore a legend. He can be drunk and talk over dude's. Him and Capone dropped one of the most classic albums in Hiphop too me. Peace 🇬🇧
I still have God’s Favorite cd. I’ve only bought 5 real deal albums. Everything else was bootlegs. Nore legendary.
“I’m not limited/ wit out rap I’d still be getting it/ Yours truly the dealer slash lyricist...” Mega
I respect Mega for not accepting the drink when Nore was trying to do peer pressure. Follow no man
@D Jay even worse.
What about Jesus of Nazareth? He was a man.
Damn I ain't even notice, lowkey thought he was buzzin a bit lmao
But takes a drink when nas mentions it. You gotta relax lol
@@matthewjosephthecommonsens2940 Even though he didn't exist lol
Fav. rapper. It was solidified when I saw him one night on the Queensboro Plaza platform a few years ago. Yes. He was waiting for the N train with a small black bodega bag in his hand. He looked like a regular New Yorker. I was so in awe that I approached him & told him he was one of my favorite rappers. He was so humble & had such peaceful energy. Y'all don't know but alot of these dudes act funny when you catch them in these types of environments. Riding the subway as someone who was once signed to Violator & on records with platinum selling artists is seen as falling off but he wasn't embarrassed & trying to shrug me off. He was happy that a fan showed him love in this type of setting & he reciprocated the energy. He thanked me for showing love, asked me my name & where I was headed then dapped me up & said "be safe fam" & I kept it moving. Brief interaction but one of the most memorable as far as entertainers go. It made realize that he's the epitome of what "Realness" is.
The wild part is you can't look at him n tell how wealthy he is
And that's a sign of how humble he really is
@@misfit1nx865 this was around 2010 & most likely he didn't have a choice but to be riding MTA. I'm just assuming here. But I know dudes personally who ain't got a fraction of the platform that Mega has who wouldn't be caught on MTA if it was life or death. They'd rent a KIA for a day in their Auntie's name to ride out to long island before you see them on MTA. He wasn't paranoid over the possibility that someone may recognize him or anything like that. He was just a regular dude waiting on that N train like I was & that made me feel at ease enough to let him know I appreciate his artistry & as a result of the interaction I respect who he is as a human.
I met fat Joe in 1994 he came l.a. I spoke him got a pound down to earth.some rappers be arrogant like they all that then be one hit wonders peace ☮️ to cormega

Big Facts. I like your ten but I think your missing a couple: "loyalty" (more a screwball record but his verse stood out), "dramatic entrance" (one of the best intros ever) "the true meaning" (great song. got me through a lot), "R U my nigga", "fallen soldiers", "thun and kicko" (low key top 5 diss record ever), "the saga" and much more. I could be here all day doing this. easily one of the best to do it.
'' The Gun should be the last resort not the first response''....reel talk by my man Mega!

@@ezl.i946 : Ghost blacked out on that 🔥🔥
Definitely one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. Always loved Cormega and respects his emcee skills. But after watching this I see how really intelligent and insightful he is. I’m glad he made it out the streets and did something positive. Great to also see he and Nas are in a good place as well. Much love to Mega ✊🏾
Agreed. Great comment.
I'm only an hour in and this is by far the best episode of all the Drink Champs episodes. Cormega is exactly what I always thought he was. An intelligent, loyal brother looking for a way out, to better himself, and bring those around him up to success. I'm glad the world gets to see the true Mega.
🏁🏆 Mega still the realest out - smash that Like button if you want to see Cormega hosting battles with us in 2021 🏆 🏁

Why not?🤷🏾♂️
Not with y’all. Just being honest. Get that corny culture vulture integrity free white boy shit outta here I wouldn’t wanna see y’all in the same room doin shit. I guess cut my man a check tho #Queens
@@malachimyers704 objectively speaking (since I commented), I wanna see that look for Mega regardless...I agree the preference would be something closer to the culture.
Well put your money where your mouth is!
#IfYouKnowYouKnow
My only issue with this interview is I can watch it a million times but I can only like it once.
Amazing interview, Amazing guest and Amazing quotes
An amazing win for the culture ... a true hip hop celebration and a 🍾🥂 to Queens legends
Everybody who knows Mega says he's a down to earth brother.

Cormega is the mentor every young rapper needs
Cormega the realest in the game. He values his fans. Mad respect from the west coast ✊🏻
The realness is a 5 mic 🎤 album. Classic. Shoutout to Mega
10 mic album and his last three albums were damn good
Mega came with receipts!!!! One of the best interviews on Drink Champs
The problem is Cormega is just too intelligent to be around stupids.
Real talk
true
Lol right
BUT... That’s what’s needed!!! The stupids NEED people like Mega to be around!!
Lol good one bro
Best hip hop beef reconciliation ever... Mega and Nas
Now this was ‘For The Culture.’ I admire the growth, positivity, and maturity.
This man has so many incredible songs of introspection from the hood. R U My N****?, Beautiful Mind, The Saga Remix, Verbal Graffiti.. so many classics. Genuinely. Always support his music when a project is released and know I can repeat his projects and still appreciate it. True artistry.
He's definitely slept on. The song going at Nas was crazy
You need to check out the Realness 2. Whole album is great. More dope tracks from Mega
@@theearthwizard3663 cormega is very relatable I’m the same way as him. Kinda anti social and awkward around people stay in the back
All respect goes out to Cormega for remembering The Jacka. Bay Area legend!!!!

Rip jack. But come on mega jack was over 200,00 sold already lol. Cbo put the bull on
@ 2:00:00 notice how Nore is engaging with Cormega about Big Pun untill Mega says how he was the first to do a song with Pun’s son & how he help Pun family with the Ewing deal then Nore tries to change subjects cuz he can’t say the same.. Nore doesn’t even try to further that topic at that point smh out of all the ppl closest to Pun Cormega was the first to do a song and support his son music.. Salute
Great observation, man.
saigon interview too he was doing a lot of sus shit
Why do you think that is?
@@dwayneneckles idk why I can’t answer that but it’s just crazy that out of all these rappers that always talking bout they love for Pun Cormega the one that’s helping..

amazing combo

He been sharp Nore just doesn't let him talk
2:03:35 FIRE 🔥 Mega is the most underrated lyricist in Hip Hop history! Definitely a QB King 👑
Had a great respect for Mega when I saw his interview clarifying the Nas “beef”. But man after watching this it’s on a WHOLE nother level. His intelligence and streetsmarts is the best I think I’ve ever seen expressed verbally
Cormega dropping mad jewels. Take notes youngins.
Too many jewels 💯💯...especially when he broke down how a man’s pride works

@@robbarker450 He's definitely not Rakim, Kane, Hov or Nas but the jewels he dropped were as valuable as theirs.
The jewels Mega dropped on this are true knowledge and priceless 💯
Probably the best Drink Champs episode 🔥🔥
The worst thing about this show is Nore. He doesn't listen. Mega was giving him some jewels, and he's too drunk and high to hear him. He loves to interrupt. Much props to Cormega for not drinking and giving his positivity out.
Please Bring AZ on drink Champs
Bruh we need that. AZ is one of the most lyrical emcees to ever rock a mic. 💯👍
I don’t think Nore likes AZ. Capone claims that AZ stole the Doe or Die beat from CNN. Stakk Stones talks about rappers from Queens being jealous of him and Nas music and personal connection.
@D Jay that’s another valid reason.
@D Jay share a link to that please?
Exactly
Many shy people get misread as being stand-offish and arrogant 💯
Its actually being Introverted. With shyness you can see the timidness or the lack of confidence, introverted ppl dont need to be as outgoing but they have confidence. If you have confidence but dont necassarily need to interact ppl think your arrogant. It makes sense sometime but it sucks how people are so quick to judge.

You said you didn't want it, then you started acting funny
It started with the cover of YSB
A picture of The Firm, everyone except me
Then my voice disappeared off La Familia
That's when it was clear to me there wasn't no real love
I was out The Firm, unless I signed a production deal
Which I didn't do 'cause son, that wasn't real" mega has always been a real one and 1 of my top 3 favorite mc's of all time. He is a legend with all of roadblocks and hate that was tossed his way. Much love king!

Nore and Dave East was right about Nas being called "Sun". No one hardly mentions his name, even Mega. That's some smooth shit. Nas called in twice for Mega, that bond is definitely reestablished.
actually its son

@@imsofocused4678 do your research, Im 46 years old, Im from the Vanderveer section of Flatbush, BKLYN The " son " slang started in the early ,90's in BKLYN. Before then, in the 80's when you called someone son, it meant you were belittling / disrespecting them, then it turned into a term of endearment to mean friend, associate, etc. Im telling you what it is what I know. No other borough started saying son, before Brooklyn dudes.
I like how Mega calls it Def Jams... wit the “s”🤣
Thats how u know getting old . Old ppl talk like that

I remember in 2002 listening to "The true meaning" in a CD store. Usually there's 2 - 3 tracks you skip on other albums but this album was fire at 1st listen and it still remains a classic to me after all these years.
Cormega and Jacka songs timeless!!!!! Mega good in the bay he fucks with the Mob
Keak Da Sneak was coo with Mobb Deep too, he was also the reason why Mobb Deep was still doing shows out in Oakland.
Exactly I was just listening to him yesterday on the Highway Robbery album with Freeway ...All 3 Muslims. RIP KING JACKA , MY ALL TIME FAVORITE!!!!!!💯💯💪💪
Yessir.. and on that flowamatic 9 albums.. with mob figaz n 3x and too short
@707vallejoniggaRIPTHEJACKA vallejoTHEJACKA They call me The J A C K A💯🕋
“More Crime” - a whole song by Jacka on Mega’s album.
Yall need to get Big Noyd on Drink Champs. He was definetly underrated...
He was on here already
@@ajanirumph3281 oh ok i gotta check that episode
@@s.shields-bey6060 : He was on here with Havoc 💯
@@adamgordon2572 In my opinion that is the only way to do it. Not enough material and stories for a solo episode. Noyd is dope though. No lie
agree but not by himself...Noyd wasn't dedicated enough to his music career to earn an invite by himself -don't even try to compare him to Mic Geronimo either... They should have had Noyd on with Tragedy but now Trag has been there twice(?) who's left from QB that could come on with Big Noyd? Noyd is definitely a QB Legend but not even close to Mega status.
Can’t believe I’m just Finding out about this interview now!! One of the Most Underrated MCs ever Cormega & AZ. Salute to Cormega glad he’s getting his Flowers!!
I smiled when Nas and Mega Face Timed each other
"Pride is that instigator that is never around when the consequences come around." This is one of the realest things ever said in an interview.
Its about time they got my boy Mega! Now get AZ
AZ can come on there, he ain’t saying much though.
the look that Mega gives Nore @ 2hr 6min 30sec after they play his new track is unreal. Like a kid opening presents
I can say I NEVER heard a wack Mega verse!!! He is that dude!!!
Pure💯Facts
Mega doesn't spit wack s**t..That's why bro..it's all calculated and factual..And they do say that the hardest and the realest are the same thing..We all know Mega is the realness so....
NEVER!!!!!
cormega isn't even Tight on the Beat, he sounds off beat, & his delivery not all that. but his lyrics are decent though, but not complete like p & nas
@@breaks3085His concepts are felt through his music...when you real your point comes across, you dont have to worry about delivery and real knows this.
Wasn't gonna watch this but "they forced my hand" ..ALL PUN intended
U damn right! Classic by Tragedy and Mega!
"The only life we know I flow so precisely yo my chain got the icy glow beamer jeep wit lorenzo's shine brightly yo"
Watching mob fliks/ Clapping at imaginary targets/Adolescents up in Spofford, facing hardships
What you know about that classic??
@@G-StyleMedia im one the few cats that really understood TRAGEDY
"If your people not motivating you, they questionable"
“Knowledge of self is just information if not applied in words and actions” real shit
Mega was one of the 1st artist from NYC to embrace artists from the bay (the mob figaz),nothing but salutes to the OG
This by far the best Drink Champs interview Mega is a solid person. As a shy quiet person I get him totally. It's crazy I've been a fan for over 20yrs and it feels like I'm just getting to know Corey not just Mega may Allah continue to help you grow and become more a light to shine for us. Once again best Drink Champs ever
Alhaumdullilah 💯
I like when Foxy rhymed, “count the other 2 that Mega bringing through” 💯
Plus she gave nas brother a shot out in the same verse!! Think that was the first time I heard jungle name in a song.
@D Jay yo I'm taking about other people other then nas jungle is on the intro of illmatic I know that already
@D Jay I just think it's dope because jungle is definitely a big part of who nas works with. Jungle hung out with alot people that nas puts on.
@D Jay yeah him and nas fell out over some shit with kelis word is
Affirmative Action
I definitely see how Mega and Nas were friends growing up and still are,both unapologetically intellectuals...BIGQUEENS👍🏾
Mega is the definition of HONORABLE
