RJ Payne is one of my current top 5 lyricists in hip-hop. I remember the Reign Man era. He was ok back then, but now that man is a living masterpiece 💪🏾
Salute to RJ Payne AKA Rein Man! HB was one of the first to ever record him in Philly back in the 90s right before the MTV battles. Still got the recordings. Peace to CW RIP to Boom
Bar for bar this man can stand in ANY cypher in ANY era. Unbelievable bars and one of the hardest deliveries ever. Ironically he has no place in hip hop just like most of the real legendary mcs
I feel you bro I be wanting to get away from Philly and find somewhere lowkey and just live a normal regular safe life …I’m tired of living paranoid and I don’t even get into nothing I go to work everyday I been left the streets alone but stray bullets can always happen
Some great insight in this that every young man including myself need to take note of! Once you kill your ego and break life down to the bare necessities, your life becomes more abundant! Respect to the legend for sharing these 💎’s! Great interviewer too
I didnt know RJ until about 4-5 years ago...but to me hes one of the dopest emcees to ever walk this earth... the shit hes put out is all dope theres nothing lacking in his ability..im 47 bern listening to hip gop since the 80s ...n this dude just hits diffferet n i put alot of my peeps on to this cat n they were like ...damn where the hell have we been
I love that he’s super happy. He found himself and he has a whole new love for hip-hop music that’s what’s up. And that’s what I love about doing rap music as well. I’m not forced to do it and I don’t have to chase fortune or fame to get where I’m going. I’m not gonna front. I want the riches and my royalties, but I still have love for the art. I think I always will it’s spiritual. It will never leave you in my opinion.
@@pandachopnews fosho, He's very underrated. I can't stand when a talented Emcee like this Don't get no shine. It makes me question what this hip hop thing's all about
I got a homie Jamal that told me he worked with RJ Payne down here in Alabama and he heard my group's music and thought we were super talented to not be out there with our music. Love the interview 💯
6:17 time stamp - At first it sounds like an Up North dude (Philly) disrespecting The South. But when you really realize how chaotic Philly is....he went to Huntsville, Birmingham, or Montgomery somewhere, and just realized he was in a place where the violence and chaos is OPTIONAL. Smaller cities in The South are rough....but if you stay out the way and mind your business you can have some peace. That is beyond mature, RJ.
Outside of Philly, the South is more dangerous than the North. Birmingham, Baltimore, Atlanta, Memphis, DC, Jackson, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, New Orleans, and Little Rock. High crime rates.
Wanting to grow is the best thing to establish yourself as a man. Push to get yours that's determination and loving yourself. That's the best feeling I've done it.
It's opposite to me. The South is more on that fly stuff. Places like Philly, Bronx and Queens, Newark much more blue collar, hard working, regular people trying to ends meet. Much more relatable, down to Earth and social.
Depends where in the South. I grew up in Miami FL area (originally from NY) where ppl are very image driven and its all about money and status. I recently moved to Dallas Texas, and the vibes are totally different. In my opinion ppl are way more humble and real compared to NYC and Miami.. you can raise a family here and the cost of living is way lower. And you don't feel so much pressure to keep up with the Joneses... the South is where it's at right now for real
Key part: He went to Jimmy Henchmans studio, where they told him lyrics dont matter. Guess what? Jimmy Henchman is a black immigrant. Another layer to this cosplaying. He actually had people outside of black American culture, the creators of Hip Hop culture, dictating what is marketable and acceptable in Hip Hop music.
True facts this Brother speaks. Living in NYC for most of my life and if you not rocking the flyest Jordans,air maxes,driving a nice car, and rocking jewelry you a bum or a scrub. It's funny how grown men and women watch what other grown men and women is wearing. Funny thing is they don't pay each others rent,con ed bills,phone bills, buy there clothes but wanna talk about being a bum😂😂😂. I got a couple dudes tight when they asked me why I don't get a car, I said "it's another bill I can't afford"😂😂😂 they got upset about it. Also I got asked "how come you don't have kids". I said "are you going to pay for the baby clothes,milk, pampers,and baby wipes?" 😂😂😂😂 NYC people are all followers.
That's everywhere even in NC where I'm from which is why a lot of chicks always chased after the players, drug dealers, and hustlers and dissed normal dudes. A lot of people driving luxury cars and jewelry and fly clothes look down on others who don't. In NYC, Jersey, and Philly it's the opposite to me because the Northeast is much more blue collar and also a lot of poverty and lower class people.
@@hitek9too255 yes you so right. I've been a minority all my life I'm 34. No education,no work experience,no money just been barely surviving on welfare all my life. Don't have no friends or family. But the way that life is going it won't matter soon anyways. No one can escape death no matter how much money they have.....
Not into battlerap so I never heard of this guy. Really just trying to see what part of Alabama he was talking about, because around the Birmingham area where I'm from is nothing like what he is talking about.
I grew up in Texas. If you didn’t have Polo, Tommy, Nautica, Jordans etc. You wasn’t fly. Kids are cruel and are the same everywhere. Once you become an adult your priorities shift and that type of stuff doesn’t matter to you as much as paying your bills and feeding your family. He just had to get somewhere where he could punch a clock and do his thing. I understand that
Not just signed at the wrong time. Majors labels are biased against Philly. Because Philly artists bring the block. Majors will sign Philly rappers just to keep them on the shelf.
I agree but talent doesn’t always equate to money in this business. The music business is more about the business than the music and talent. It’s all the smoke and mirrors. Real ones tend to not get what they deserve

Much of the population to be fair.
Bro you ain't quit, you jus quit the industry bs.. do you king 🤴🏾
Basically he came out on the wrong era. It's a popularity contest now an image based industry. It has nothing to do with skills
True fact. @@seldomsceen
RJ is one of the dopest MCs. He is the definition of God MCs level. The real Hip Hop culture
Definitely gives me hope that style of hip hop still exists
New kids always fast to disrespect the Almighty.
Stop the idolatry
There's only one & nothing g to compare him too. Stop using the Almighty in vain.

Truly inspiring story from an absolutely incredible mc.
Absolutely. Respect to RJ
RJ and Vinnie on a track would be 🔥🔥🔥
You should mention "Quit Battle Rap" in the title just having Rap is very misleading. Great content nonetheless
But he did quit rap altogether during that time. It wasn’t just battle rap
@@pandachopnews Yeah, but the way it's titled makes it seem like he just now quit Rap recently... that's why I clicked on the video.
@@pandachopnewscap
And that's why they titled it that way 🤣
@@TWIZZTHEWHIZKIDhe knew what he was doin 😂
I just recently discovered this man, He has bars for days black mask is a banger
