Charlamagne on Why NY Rappers Can't Top Kendrick

- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- www.vladtv.com/ - Famed radio and television host Charlamagne tha God shares his thoughts on Kendrick Lamar's much talked about verse on Big Sean's "Control" verse, and explains how he originally linked it to Tupac. He also speaks about his thoughts on Papoose's response, and why he thinks rappers rewrite their verses.
The reason Kendrick is so popular and thriving is because he has found a way to fuse conscious rap with commercial rap to please just about everyone. He'll be around for a while.
8 years later this comment only had 79 thumbs up.....and Kendrick is considered one of the top 10 all time, top 5 in many lists. Man is Goated fr
Naw he just a dope black lyricsis with an sound of his own is why he he will continue to stay in top
Well this comment aged pretty well
Just came back from the Mr Morale tour
Exactly the new freezer song with rich the Kid & the Kings Dead song with Jay Rock sound like radio/mainstream hits & can appeal to younger artists & constantly finding ways to switch it up a Tad bit to stay relevant since 2010
I'm makaveli's offspring, = tupac. I'm the king of New York = biggie. Basically saying I am HipHop is what I thought he meant.
No king of new York like kurupt who first said it in a rap came from a movie
Lol he didn't mean Biggie, he was talking about the fucking movie Kin of New York
@@deadacc4940 it's not about Biggie lol go watch the Kurupt vlad TV interview
The Freaky Robber seen it. That’s what Kurupt said not Kendrick. “I’m the king of New York, king of the coast, one hand I juggle em both”
That's what I love about Kendrick - a line like that can have four different meanings - quadruple entendre
"Life aint no DJ khaled record".... lol I'm quotin that
LMAOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Hollis W
This nigga's skin tone changes everyday 😂😂😂
Tiago VEVO I was thinking the same thing or if I was tripping or something
Tiago VEVO W
Tiago VEVO he should change his name to Chameleon the God.
hey..that was a good 1
its the lighting behind him
That Kendrick verse was so good people dont even remember that was a big sean song or that jay electronica was on there i dont remember a single bar sean or jay said
Exactly haha
+Bobba Fett no shit
Holiday Styles he got the line from Corrupts original verse.
I think Jay E did that on purpose.... That was strictly for the bag for Jay E
Oh nah we do it's just Kendrick's verse was special Big Sean killed it
Diss record on Kendrick? I wish a bitch would. Imma sit in a lawn chair and watch in amazement.
Kendrick could be ripped by a few rappers. He just has never been tested cos he's in his own lane.
+WHU FOR EVER hate to say it but you're telling the truth.
+Ashley Campbell joey badass killuminati pt2
+Hurt Kobain wasn't much of a diss , Joey was just telling Kendrick that he's on the same level as him lyrically wise
which he isnt
The more i watch these interviews the more I like Charlamagne
he's pretty cool
He called back to back "One of the best diss tracks ever"
He's just an asshole for the paychecks.
"Life ain't a DJ Khaled record" LMAOOOOO
Tupac was born in Harlem.
Indeed he was. He also said that when he moved out here to the WEST "He learnt the game!" I got fam that way but CA is simply a dope state... The only state where you could snowboard, skateboard and surf in the same day ;D
perezcarlos559 Hawaii Oregon Alaska Washington
he was born in baltimore
Bob but he was raised in Cali...pac didn't even like NY...
dude was born in east harlem, left when he was like 17. only cali rapper that has a ny accent.
Joey Badass killed that Killuminati 2. joint
+victorinox190 Factual, not many people addressed it though.
Yesssd!!
victorinox190 one rapper out of a whole city lol I mean he is very good but you can't rep a city like new York with one nigga
yeah but it wasnt enough for kendrick tho !!
I fuck with Joey but that's was ass
There is a big misconception that being super lyrical means you're a good rapper. Charlamagne said it, it takes more than bars to really make noise. And it's waaay too many people stuck in the past and stuck in the 90's. Im tired of hearing that "rap was better back then" and "these new school niggas weak" like if they were really weak they would'nt be successful. Hip-hop needs to move forward. We need innovators and people that push the bar forward for the genre to improve and grow. And im not knockin any type of preferable rap that somebody likes. But thats the good thing about the hip-hop, it's versatile and there are dozens of different rappers SO LISTEN TO WHAT YOU LIKE AND STOP HATIN AND TALKIN SHIT ABOUT WHAT YOU DONT LIKE. Real talk. The only thing I can say about hip-hop now is that there always and forever will need to be a BALANCE. If there isn't a balance then its just gonna cause more hating, which is probably why there's alot now. Alot of people feel like there's too much "bull shit" and "weak shit" out now. But just because you dont like something doesnt mean its bad. Another person could love what you hate. Whether it be trap, contemporary, indie, east coast, west coast whatever hip-hop isn't restricted to one type of sound. I apologize for this long ass paragraph. PEACE
5 years later this is still big facts
I def get what you sayin but it’s 5 years later and “mainstream” rap is probably at its worse that’s why they say that def some dope rappers but u still got mfers makkng money and they’re garbage
Facts
@@MacP12 2 years after this comment and the shit got even worse
2pac was born in newyork and moved to Baltimore when he was a lil kid and he left Baltimore i think when he was in 10th grade and moved to the bay
And nigga..
Randy Rodriguez HE WAS RAISED IN OAKLAND
Randy Rodriguez He still was raised on the West and had mannerisms of the West and learned all his game on the West. That's why he reps it.
He was born in Chicago and raised in Compton.
+Randy Rodriguez But was raised a man on the West Coast.
Never really been a big fan of Charlamagne, but I liked this. The guy knows what he's talking about.
True true 💯
"Life ain't a DJ-Khaled record" - wise af
Everybody knocks Charlamagne because he's giving an honest intelligent opinion of how he feels, I think the problem with most is he might be too honest.
Kevin Hart had the dopest control response that was put out.. Chocolate droppa till tha world blows
lmfao word
Chocolate Droppa spitting straight fire!!!
I Got Porta Potties in the DUG OUT 😂😎🚽💩💩💩😭 lol 😂😂😂😂
Mississippi 😎😎😎😎😎 born there
The funny thing about Kendrick Lamar's verse is that it wasn't a diss. He was showing his respects, but he was also saying that he wanted to do the best.
The Dark Skinned Version of Charlamagne was more raw and uncut.
Numbers don’t lie, 7 years later Kendrick has out sold everyone he called out and everyone that responded to his control verse. Since then TPAB went platinum and DAMN went triple platinum.
That's why he's my top 5 rapper
Black Thought
Andre3k
Mos Def
Nas
Kendrick
Drake.....
@@sbrooks904 Drake does get more streams. But he actually doesn’t sell as much as his streams portray.
Kendrick has gone platinum foreal on GKMC, TPAB and DAMN. Like pure album sales, not “album-equivalent” stream sales.
Drake’s last couple projects haven’t done that.
this dude dissed kendrick before he blew up.
***** so in other words he's still a hatin bitch ass nigga? lol
rackembarry why when ever people give their opinion it's "hating" ..smh
***** of course an opinion can be hating. Charlamagne is a fucking joke. the main thing he tried to get kanye with in this beef is that people dont want anything from kanye except music, and they wont buy his other ventures such as shoes and clothes. kanyes yeezy shoes continued to sell out in 10 minutes LOL. combine that with kendricks incredible success despite charlamagne saying he wont get big, and him saying that if lil wayne retired he would become the best ever, among other dumbass things hes said and done and Charlamagne establishes himself as a complete cockhead.
lol.. so don't watch his fucking interviews or listen to The Breakfast Club, problem solved. Bet you follow him on twitter too, huh?
yes, i am interested in why people listen to this fuck tard.
I come to realize Charlemagne is a TRUE HipHop head
Tbt dark Charlemagne
Ikr 😂😂😂👏

The "New York" sound will never again dominate hip-hop again because it was the face of the genre for a long time, even when there were plenty of people that didn't like it. Now with the internet no one sound will dominate the genre because of the different varieties of hip-hop. Imo
Atlanta's sound has been dominating the past 20 yrs. Nas said it right hip hop is dead. The culture is dead the music lives on but souless.
There is no region specific sound anymore in this new era. Maybe in the lingo but not too much in the music production. Plus, to me anyways, the NY sound is basically any and everything Primo, or more specifically, boom bap drumlines.
@@K.B.Williams there definitely is region specific sounds that do exist, but most of the sounds we hear in a lot of modern hip hop are sounds that start one place, and get adopted by new places that put their own spin to it. I agree that the original boom bap/ primo sound are great references for the traditional NY wave we all loved/hated, but modern day New York sounds like London/Chicago IMO. Can honestly say there’s good music coming from all directions rn though, East to west and beyond this country
he was spot on with the originality & people doing freestyles over the same damn beat. It really pissed me off how many rappers did a terrible freestyle over 'Pound cake' or 'hot nigga' and even 'Panda' it's super annoying. not that hard to find a free dope beat on youtube god damn
Rest In Peace Nipsey
the reason why NY rappers don't evolve into the next level is because they follow a prototypical mold. especially since record labels wanted this mold in the 90's and early 2000's. NY rappers rapped about: the hood, drugs, guns, money, women, cars, jail, kicks, basketball and other sports. In that order. With very little exception. The more successful ones invest in exploring and expanding their vocabulary and get witty with words.
Now the ones that transcends into the next plateau are the ones that put deep personal emotions and deep personal thoughts into songs. Jay-z , Nas, biggie, DMX, wu tang, Fab and Jadakiss all rappers who expanded their vocabulary, had songs that reached out and touched people with beats and lyrics.
with Kendrick we are talking about the modern day thelonious monk of hip hop. He has invested in mastering a clear domination of the use of the English language. He paints vivid pictures of emotions and thoughts using words as a brush. his fearless attitude to create master pieces is like Picasso with a mic. the man is borderline genius as he is possibly insane. So his music transcends because he has the balls to record on wax what black people feel and think but don't say. he dares all people to deny his art when everyone feels the same way. New York rappers don't do that anymore. Not like this. Kendrick is on another level.
roy salvador Look at the famous list of top 100 rappers with the largest vocabularies in the history of Hip Hop, most of them are east coast. Only one west coast artist is in the top 10, and it ain't an extremely famous west coast hip hop artist either. Aesop Rock is #1 on that list. The top 3 have vocabularies larger than shakespeare.
Fabolous and Jadakiss never got that next level.
Kendrick Lamar is whack
by the way, ll cool j did make canibus change his verse, because canibus' original verse said something along the line of, "ayyo, L, is that a mic on your arm, let me borrow that..." it wasn't even a diss against ll cool j, it was just a plain & simple reference that ll cool j had a mic tattoo. but ll cool j still didn't like the line so he had him change it. so after canibus changed it, ll cool j changed his verse too addressing the whole issue and pretty much dissed canibus on the same song, that's why ll cool j says, "Now let's get back to this mic on my arm, If it ever left my side it'd transform into a time bomb, You don't wanna borrow that, you wanna idolize, And you don't wanna make me mad nigga you wanna socalize." and that's what pissed off canibus and erupted the whole "canibus vs. ll cool j" beef. that's why canibus on "second round k.o." says, "So I'ma let the world know the truth, you don't want me to shine, You studied my rhyme, then you laid your vocals after mine, That's a bitch move, somethin that a homo rapper would do."
Yeap. glad someone caught that. Charlamagne was right, Canibus' changed his verse on the record
yeah, that kind of bothered me that dude is doing these "hip hop" videos and making up/changing hip hop history.
Sagacity Walker cause he doesn't know the true culture , they do some research and then present the info like they really knew. C'mon Son !!!!
Vladimir Kalashnikov Never quite saw LL the same way after that Canibus massacre.
Boi Bizi
Honestly, I never cared too much for him at all. I know he's a pioneer, and he goes way back and shit, but personally for me, he was like whatever.
NY has some legends tho like Capital Steeze, Kirk Knight ,Joey Badass, A Tribe Called Quest, Wu Tang, Public Enemy, De La Soul, Big, Nas, Mos Def, etc but then on the other hand California has Kendrick, Tupac, Ice Cube, Donald Glover, Frank Ocean, Tyler The Creator....can't really think of anyone else but don't underestimate New York
Though i kind of agree when he says NY needs to move forward and stop dwelling to become the 90's again, i have to strongly admit 90's hip hop sound and substance and production was way way way better
Vlad is wrong Tupac was born in East Harlem
Kay Nezzie to peeps outside usa that would be seen as being from nyc that’s what they mean I think
Nas makes fantastic records. Besides that, I completely agree with him. Charlamagne speaks the truth.
NY rappers must make music that ppl outside of NY will like
then they would have to dumb down theyre lyrics and sing about hoes and money there are so many emcees that are better than drake lil wayne big sean the new Jay Z people like Joey badass cj fly Astro Bishop Nehru the underachievers flatbush zombies and etccccccc
Revok Sixth
- Many gods is right. I listened to those cats "Joey badass cj fly Astro Bishop Nehru" and couldn't make it through the songs.
they spit to muck knowledge go listen to draketalking abot how many new friend he has
Revok Sixth Nah just boring, and I hate Drake
Revok Sixth I agree with cns below, its just boring and I prefer 2008 Drake, not the popcorn stuff now. I loved Mobb Deep and that era, problem is those guys I mentioned sound like bootleg versions of 20 year old styles
I'm tired of hearing this king of ny shit. Nas is the king if ny. Period.
Joey badass had the best response for me
Joey badass is like the NY equivalent to Kendrick
Kendrick sneakdissed New York anyway. In every single interview he said he didn't mean King of New York, he meant King of every Coast those were just Kurupts' lyrics. Plus, Papoose and Joey Bada$$ killed him anyway.
1
Inferno0420 First off, sneak dissing has multiple meanings. It can also mean you're talking about someone but you don't actually say that person's name (A Subliminal Diss) Second off, In the age of the internet you don't have to say anything in anybody's face. All you have to do is send a tweet or make a video about how you don't like someone which counts as an actual diss these days. In Kendrick's case, he never said in an interview "Yeah, I said I'm the King and that's what the fuck I meant!" He said "No! I was being lyrical and saying I'm the King of everywhere and those were Kurupt's old lyrics" Which makes it a sneak diss toward NY.
2
Inferno0420 Read the Urban Dictionary bro. Once a word gets popular it's going to be used in multiple ways. A lot people think T.H.O.T is a word when it's an acronym meaning That Hoe Over There. Finesse is used by Drill artists but it actually is a word that was created before we were born and it means of the finest quality, nothing to do with illegal activities.

Life aint a dj khaled record 😂😂😂
lol
What are NY artist doing wrong? They all sound the fucking same. Everyone is just trying to do the old school gangsta stuff. Nobody cares about murder bars or gun bars anymore, its been played out.
well thats how rap started, and thats what it is. clowns these days just say the stupidest shit. (drake, wayne, big sean, kendrick, too many to name) its like someone just going to country music and switching it all up, them hillbillies wouldnt have that, why do we all put up with these wack ass rappers?
Exactly! That is how hip-hop started, but the people talking about actually lived that life. Pac got shot a lot. I don't think a lot of these popular guys are living that life. Lil Wayne isnt out in the streets killing people. I think people liked Big and Pac to the point where they want to be them. The problem is there not! When have so many people trying to be them everything sounds the same and it gets boring. Thats what happened to southern movement. Some people got big, but it never evolved it just stayed the same and died out.
All do respect, that's not how rap/hip hop started. It started as block party music.... Well the DJ'ing came first, then the MC's started saying rhymes while the DJ mixed and scratched. That was the 70's. Cold Crush, Afrika Bambatta(sp), Grand Flash and the Furious Five, ect. Gangster shit really started with School D outta Philly in '85 (at least that's the first shit i heard growing up in the Bay). And while that was going on, you still had Run DMC, Fat Boys, LL, Beastie Boys, none of them were really gangster.
That is true, but i Was talking about hip-hop famous eras in particular. Hip-hop got thew most popular during the B.I.G. and Pac era
Yup, there's no denying that.
I ain't gone lie Charlamagne makes valid points, he knows hip-hop.
Frank White is the King of New York
😂😂
Nas
Exactly and people don't knw that's where that line came from
Joey Bada$$'s Kendrick response was solid (Killuminati Pt. 2)
Originality is an lost art to most rappers today we need more Artist & Mc's
This guy, pac was born in Harlem, moved to Maryland and settled in L.A
Marin city then LA
locksley11 oh yeah, fuck completely forgot
Marin city and then Oakland. He ain't get to la till he dropped his albums
Wrong he dropped albums before he got to LA
Big L was and always will be the King of New York
New york takes an L
over B.I.G? no
Missy T that makes no sense whatsoever
You stupid wu tang clan are the new York rap gods
haro chris wu tang is little niggas under rakim wtf you talking about
Denim shorts with construction timberland. Lmao
I wore that yesterday

Canibus ate LL ass 😂
life ain't a dj khaled record lmao
Tha God 100 about NY moving forward
In Europe we don't even have the debate about region or specific hiphop sound. I love french hiphop and I am from Sweden and don't even speak french. Only because something grabs you and levitates you towards. It's either good or bad…
Agree. I'm dutch and listen to booba and kaaris since ages
+MrIlleism Thats because countries in europe are smaller and close together, so sometimes even music from neighboring countries sound similar. In USA, theres a HUGE difference in sound when it comes to west and east coast. Just listen to a song of snoop dogg, and then one from Nas just to give you an example.
666weena Yes but it's all hiphop. Question I'm asking essentially why does it even matter. Hiphop will always evolve. Plus this thing is only RAP related. The other elements in hiphop don't separate themselves based on region or geographical distance.
MrIlleism Its not about if it matters or not, its about a fact: West Coast and East coast rap have different sounds. And anyway the rivalry with thee two its actually a good thing, because it has produced many good songs.
666weena Yes. But still, African music will not sound the same as music from India and music from China and music from Russia. Each country, region has it's influences. Still it's all music, it's only normal and logical that different regions will have different inspiration and sound. Why even make it a thing is the question. To everyone outside US it's just hiphop music. This is what I am trying to explain.
Life ain't a DJ Khaled record dawg lmaoo
King Kendrick, he got so much that he can afford to drop an album and not even name it, your career ain’t shit if u don’t got some Kendrick in it
Kendrick's verse was the song!
PERIOD!
People love Sick ass beatz. Thatz the edge West coast and South niggas have over the east.
this guy has it in one, everyone has to accept the fact that hip hop / rap has changed and bringing back what once was is not the right way, like he also said these rappers are lyrical but the lyricism isn't crucial 100% of the time
5:00...100% agreed sick of NYC dude with that back in the past bullshit ..also that dude pusha t the best out .
period ..
And I thought my opinion of Kanye couldn't POSSIBLY get worse.
I know GLAAD hated that Nasir Jones part 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Vladd must be making a killing off these ads
Kendrick's the best MC out right now and to me he might go down as one of the best once his body of work continues to pile up. Cole is nice too. They're supposed to have a mixtape coming out sometime in the future, but I know they have some songs together. "They Ready" "Temptation".
10 years later and he was the Pulitzer award
i LIKE how he thinks about the "control" Verse..
Tupac was BORN in New York, went to Performing Arts School in Baltimore..
***** lol yeah doing Ballet and shit.
definitely realest bars I've heard out here on RUclips. The rap game is definitely under siege. Keep it alive.
Why doesn't Charlemagne talk about lupe. It seems like those two would have similar views on the industry.
Pro era and ASAP are putting in work
Life aint a dj khaleed record dawg
Charlamagne has a point..there's gotta be a balance for NY rappers, you can't just be about the boom bap and ultra lyrical all the time..that doesnt appeal to everyone..they have no right to complain about not getting play or attention if they're stuck in one lane all of the time, and not doing something different
That being said, NY is alive and well, there's a great amount of dope MC's coming up and that have been working it, even if they're not dominatin radio, NY always gonna have dope shit coming out
It is the Radio.
It's called Radio programming.
N.Y. use to only play N.Y. Rap in the 90s.
Therefore it kept a monopoly, & kept the West & South
from infiltrating the New York market.
And that was a selfishing thing N.Y. radio did, But..
If N.Y. radio don't play any N.Y. music.
N.Y. will not be hot anytime soon.
They will have to go around it, using the internet.
Right on point brother..and Im from the West..so you know I was riding that Westcoast wave in the 90s. How we used to get hated on by NY radio...but musically, I love NY hip hop..we ALL do. niggas gotta get back to that grimmey shit, or put something out thats different from that south bounce
Mr. Chevy Miller Radio what..Ny music was also hot back then but people can give all the excuses they want NY rappers suck 2 day not sayin the south or west don't too
ryan knox
But the West was selling more.
So it would have logically & Business wise, made since to play West coast music in Cali.
Especially during '89-'94.
"Life aint a Dj Khaled record" ahahaha
Big Krit had the best response by far.
I personally think the lyrics in modern rap music is crap, and is one of the few reasons why kids nowadays act the way the do, speak the way they do, and do the things they do. You can't find one rap song nowadays that isn't talking about extremely inappropriate things or has curse words in it.
modern rap...lol
you cant generalize a culture by what is popular, there are tons of underground cats who still doin their thing and killin it
jiyoon ahn I think it was implied like you said as a generalization and not meant as all encompassing. So don't nit pick
Whole Kendrick verse went over about 95% of people heads. Mission accomplished.
drake and big sean, really?
***** point me to a song where he is lyrically good and then ill counter with a joey badass song and well see who is better
name them so i can go check it out
*****
- Gotta agree with JJJ. Drake was dope as hell when he was hungry before the 50 million dollar years. I listed to some of those Joey Badass songs, and was not impressed at all. Jet life is the best shit going right now.
hungry? he was a teenaged nickolodean star, come on...how hungry can a fucking rich teen idol be. the shit people accept in rap these days is ridiculous.
lol dawg...if youre on nickelodeon you're not hungry. hungry comes from people who have nothing, not d list celebrities. why do people stick up for spoiled rich kids who buy their way into the business?
yeah we want some competition thats where the good Hip Hop sparks from.
"Life ain't a DJ Khaled record dawg"😂😂😂😂
For radio doesn't make it great. Radio songs are always the weaker records on albums from any genre.
The great records are the album cuts, those are the timeless songs that stick with us
Not really
Big poppa one more chance & warning are radio hits
he packs out shows more than 50 cent and nicki lol i don't think so
he does now by far
SC72110 no lol
michael murphy Yes he does.
whatcha lookinat she's the highest selling ny artist today which means she gets the most a show which means she makes more lol but ok
michael murphy Umm, yes he does....BIG TIME. Maybe not Nicki...MAYBE...but DEFINITELY 50...50 died after The Massacre and the G-U-Not movement.
Em's verses for Renegades were already there
what ?!
him & Royce did it originally. He took Royce's verses off
Marco Dane no, he was originally gonna send it to royce, but ended up sending to to Jay instead. Later him and royce remixed it
Tupac was born in Harlem, NY. He attended performing arts schools in Baltimore, MD. Both these tools need to improve their knowledge in hip hop.
Revok Sixth
When we said NY has to bring it forward he didn't mean dumbing down the lyrics or anything.. he basically meant you can still have dope lyrics without the whole old school beats.. he said like Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick got that new school type of beats and still dope ass lyrics... that's what he meant dawg.
Listen next time fool.
STEEZ is the king of new york the true king. smoothest flow and word play out of anyone ive ever seen out of now only new york alone, but id say in the last 20-25 years. im not hatin on kendrick, he does his thing, but im a rapper, an lyrically, kendrick doesnt touch STEEZ, Joey Bada$$ or CJ Fly. Honestly, Ab-Soul is my ffavorite off of TDE. Kendrick comes close second for me.
I feel like he's sort of saying more NY artists should sell out. Attention and popularity don't necessarily constitute talent, although there are many talented people who are popular.
and there are many popular guys that aren't very talented
see what I did there? :D
Pac was born in East Harlem, New York.
2pac was born in Brooklyn NY. And did grow up there in his army childhood, but later on like 10 he moved here in B-more and he went to a performing art school here in Baltimore
Yup and met Jada
''life aint a dj khaled record'' l ike that
He forgot to mention 50. 50 would out sale Kendrick in NYC if they both had concerts there
Tssssss in today's age? Ok
Yes 50 would outsell him everytime. NYC still rocks with 50
I'm ehhh, nah not today
I believe because I see people rock with fabulous in New York heavy but not other city's . I see New York hold down there artist
Not today
So many rappers are stuck in the past and think only regionally or nationally. The best artists are international. Eminem is known in Spain, France, Germany, UK, Russian, UAE, Japan, Australia, etc. Kendrick is becoming that. Papoose? Man, unless you're a hardcore hip-hop fan, no one knows him outside of the US or even NY. Someone on that level needs to check themselves. They sound so petty.
Never listened to his albums, but he has got a strong and honest perspective.
Jamiro Smajic Yo you do know he's a a radio host right?
oops sorry didn't know that
Why do they copy each other? Because they're aren't truly talented musicians. They're in it for the fame and the money. Chasing fads is where the money is. The state of modern hip hop and rap (and popular music in general) looks more like an assembly line than a recording studio.
you got knowledge you should make rhymes outta that.
Charlamagne listen to Flatbush Zombies, Pro Era, Underachievers
i was waiting for him to bring them up. i hate when i feel like i know more about hip hop then dj's.
New York ain't doin shit wrong, people jus don't fuck wit that style right now, people jus wanna hear simple party songs
The realist hip hop interview ever
Makaveli's (2Pac) offspring
King Of New York (B.I.G.)
this is NOT the 90's New York! Stop living in the past!
Tupac was born in NY, and went to school in Baltimore, then moved to Cali... This is pretty basic Mr. Interviewer. Smh
damn this was 4yrs ago
Life is not a DJ Khaled record hahaha
Church
I'm here in 2020 and Charla with grills is wild lmfao
Lol
Yeah I thought I was tripping at first lol glad it wasnt just me that caught that. I didn't know what tha fuck that shit was lol
Vlad LL wrote his verse to go at Cannibitch after he dissed him. Then LL told him that if he changes that line then he will make his not pertain to Cannibitch. Did you hear him say the line about LL in the music video version? No you didn't. The version you heard was the original version before the changes because someone leaked it. Look up the video of LL and Cannibitch's phone conversation talking about the song.
2 Pac was actually born in New York. He was born and raised here until he was 15 and left to continue high school in Maryland.
