[@unknown_9.36_9]

"There was a couple crackheads on the block that were like "oh thats spike im gonna go talk to him"
I said dont bother he wont give you a role."
That was the best part with the dramatic music in the background

[@Atreyufiend]

" I wanna say fuck you spike Lee fuck you spike Lee you hurt my feelings "😂😂😂😂😂

[@boomidctv6017]

[@briannewlin203]

I hope there next project is a mixtape so they could sample

[@KingVinyls]

wym?

[@briannewlin203]

+KXNG VINYLZ when you make and album as a independent artist you need to get an OK for the samples you use but if they make a mixtape it's a win win for everyone we get better production and free music

[@jarryj1995]

I hope so too.

[@KingVinyls]

Brian Newlin but they still sampled on the album so does it really matter if their next project is a mixtape

[@jarryj1995]

KXNG VINYLZ It Depends on how much Traction this album makes with Major labels.

[@splatter5737]

[@tbg7053]

I highly doubt that they give a fuck about that guy.

[@classyandfabolous]

meechy is such a talkative guy haha

[@nigotheboss]

3001 is the best rap album the last years in my opinion!
Zombies for presidents

[@nikhilleeroy2643]

This background music itself could be a sick beat for them to use

[@silni9]

'Never took a L still fresh without the double X'

[@willandbub3149]

[@suicidalthotsG59SB]

Flatbush zombies shouldnt even be in XXL cuz theyre just too unique and you cant even compare them to the new bullshit rappers out, real talk

[@stylezz5607]

Word.

[@Pea3.]

BEASTCOAST is on the come up mark my words ...🤘🏾🔥

[@ziyan7966]

XXL freshman

[@TheNYknicksfan4life]

Meech's storytelling is funny as fuck

[@drugsrus461]

@00:45 perfection

[@godlesstimes5303]

Meechy is also a cowboy killa like myself ! Haha 🚬

[@domo2633]

Me gusta

[@vacantstrings]

need to know that inspirational ass background song

[@emin5549]

It's sad they can't be on the xxl freshman list only because they a group :(

[@asapkazz8673]

Rip spike lee

[@yakirhay626]

How's Meech's coat called?

[@xxcrazyrabbit3878]

Meechy my favorate

[@TheFifaBro]

"He got game still fire doe"

[@ArtsyFoxo]

Lol "Fuck you Spike Lee"
Great quote.

[@AcidSh33tz]

the Truth in hip hop Architect 4 President

[@jarryj1995]

I agree with everything Meech said until the "Hip-Hop is a Graveyard" statement. Last year alone was one of the greatest years of This Decade will releases from Kendrick Lamar, Vince Staples, A$ap Rocky, Members of Odd Future, Underachievers, Joey Bada$$, etc.

[@briannewlin203]

Yea it's like a renascence of rap so many great new musicians showing up that aren't signed

[@volp6423]

+Brian Newlin I think he meant the futures, young thugs, drakes, and 2 chainz in hip hop right now

[@justing100jg]

+Anthony Volpicelli true. he wasnt talkin about the actual good artists

[@venoms4fallingvg196]

Why does it always seem by watching interviews that meechy darko is the lead singer in the group? Even though technically FBZ has no main singer, their all equal on the same platform together, it just seems like darko is the leader.

[@tyresehemingway8820]

He's always seem to lead because he's the bigger personality

[@projectdan3369]

Issa ok ma 1:46

[@HaikesXO]

2:14 juice lmao

[@elchucofried5683]

Lmao "he got game still fire tho"

[@CurtMudgeon]

I vote Flatbush.

[@crafofart]

Meech is the best rapper

[@bigmack8780]

Meech reminds me of Rick James

[@juicedchakras7167]

like they said hip hop can't be revived it's a graveyard sad but true

[@bundess5473]

i prefer Better off dead, only the didn't promote hard that mixtape

[@snickcageSnickSage7346]

And then they Shot "This Is It"

[@tomsawyer9919]

Juice really needs to cool it with that hair

[@john1120]

im an avid listener of flatbush zombies but I heard better on their mixtapes no lie.

[@CantCatchHalo222]

Agreed

[@john1120]

+BlvckGhozt thought I was the only one lol

[@Northsyde21]

Mixtapes were wayy better

[@urhrashop]

The bars may have been better but the structure of the songs and the overall album was way better on 3001

[@john1120]

+Victor Verdev it sounded a Lil rush especially the transitions to the next songs didn't blend well.

[@ImProspects]

still fresh without the double x

[@GhostlyTeehee]

why aren't these guys freshman xxl

[@edwardrangel6317]

They've been rapping for a while now so it's a little late

[@galenaguilar6774]

+Edward Rangel since 2010

[@killabite620]
