Man TDE has had one of the best rosters in hip-hop history in my opinion. Jay Rock, Kendrick, Schoolboy and Ab is a elite four man band with great individual albums to boot.
I like you, dude. Thanks for covering TDE and esp Soul, because that's what brought me here. And your intelligence and articulation of real shyt is what made me stay, like, and subscribe. Yay-yayee. L.A. 🔥🔥🙌🏾
STrONGLY advise those who don’t know about AbSoul to checkout Herbert album , specifically gotta rap and do better. I didn’t discover it until this year and it’s under appreciated for sure …
What I dislike about the Big Meech situation is it's a reminder of how we treat regular people when they get out. People will serve their time but then can't get a job, apartment, etc. so they end up returning to the things that got them locked up in the first place. I don't know Big Meech's story, but he served his time. If LeBron is helping him then I don't see a problem. The other people talking about parties and shit probably have no good intentions, but honestly I don't know their hearts. I just hope Big Meech does something positive this time around. Hopefully get some therapy too because that time was brutal on the psyche.
Absoul is an amazing artist. He’s just not too mainstream and the new generation of kids don’t know him. Anyone who grew up loving underground hiphop knows him well though.
I was reserved about Wayno having his own channel because I felt he was going to be too safe and hesitant to give controversial opinions. So far. You’ve proved me wrong. So salute.
For the Ab-Soul segment, it’s always that one artist on the label that’s a great rapper loved by the rap community, and they have memorable guest verses on other folks projects. However, they don’t seem to have any hits of their own at all, but nice memorable mixtapes and verses. Not sure if that’s more so on the label or the artist, but he’s been in the game for a long time so probably on him.
5:17 Akademics will say west coast artists aren’t capitalizing off the pop out moment, but the moment an artist is successful, he’ll discredit it as a “Kendrick stimmy”, so fuck akademics
Control System is a classic, salute to Soul Brother 1 plus 1. Black lip bastard is his one banger that comes to mind. I think Ab Soul was on the same level as Kendrick when they were coming up but, Kdot actually puts out club/party records and surpassed him in that aspect.
💎💎💎 fax! I love your voice in hip hop…been a fan since you managed Dave East…you have a unique perspective on hip hop from your background with Rocafella and State Prop! Tbh we need more journalists / hosts with your background….your voice is vetted in this game…I love seeing how you transitioned from everyday struggle to your own platform. Your voice reminds me of the nba players who are now podcasters…you was really in the game! Much respect to you! Def can’t wait for us to cross paths! God Bless
I agree with people's take on LeBron tweeting Big Meech. He is definitely looked at a pillar in the community. Glorifying a man who was convicted of drug trafficking is definitely a choice.
Hell nah Nicki ain’t the best female rapper! Biggest female rapper ever, most celebrated yes, but aside from money she’s not even the most accomplished when there’s a Queen Latifah!
We all have preferances. But on metrics its Nicki impact today its Nicki all these other female rappers site her as influence. I dont find her to rap the best or be the most intetesting, but she fits the bill
Strong Disagree: We do have to police what type of energy we support on OUR platforms. A lot of rappers, unfortunately tell their story as a means of showing: “what they are capable of doing to you now”. The comparison of a rapper to a director (Scorsese) isn’t true. They are the mobsters telling an autobiography, where they excuse and glorify their own actions. “The party must die” Lebron has shown he wants to be a role model in this culture (clean public image) however he also often wants to be seen as cool which leads him to praising drug dealers, convicts and murders… some who have done “their time” and others who haven’t. Great conversation tho! Would love to see you collaborate with “The Company Man”
All Lebron had to say was cool if people wanna go down that path then go, they just gotta be prepared to do the potential 25 to life sentence that comes with it.
Forgiveness is something ppl will always want but only when it’s personal. Ppl will pick and choose when to understand and hate. Thats just how the world is.
Wayno, I love you, but I can't agree with your take on Nicki. The best female rapper is Rhapsody. It is about time y'all give her flowers n her respect ain't no female rapper that raps better than Rhapsody!
Not even a Nicki Fan, but lyricist vs rapper/ rap artist are different. Rhapsody stands alone as a lyricist, bar none. But Nicki the best female rap artist ever , overall package
@@jeviendu237 I never said what my full criteria is… I think you’re assuming I’m reference sales ? Which isn’t the case.. but yes I do weigh that in the overall package… I think Lupe is a better lyricist than Hov. But I can’t say truthfully Lupe the best Rapper ever , if I’m looking at the overall package Jayz has put out. To me it’s just so much more than who has the best bars. That’s all
@@shakair I would save its my favorite too it did a lot for me. Because of the internet i would probably say i like it more though if that makes sense. Royalty is my favorite because it was just impactful for what i would later listen to, and what most people featured became after. BOI i just like it more as a project also the man coded part of a song on this and his project after that lined up a secrect track. 😂 Put respect on Bino/Donald
Bron was Biggin Up a Hiphop character in Meech not the dealer...Most of us Don't like the drug selling in any individual...What we like is Hiphop swagg in him, like with Allen Iverson...He not the best hooper of all times but million loved about him is his Hiphop swagg...Same with Meech...Meech can have a huge RUclips podcast Channel because everybody associated with the game with come sit down with him..facts
Remble dropped colors right after the pop out. Jason Martin been dropping kill switch is hard. Zoe Osama dropped an album and a song with Warren g nd mistah f.a.b, walithesensei literally opened up for future and metro on tour because the pop out.blxst dropped a incredible album (how many, dance with the devil featuring Anderson paak) rayvaughn dropped ray wop. G perico dropped kicc doe and toxic love…. And rucci got function in the hood u should definitely check these out
@13:30 Idk if youre into gaming at all, but look up Detroit: Become Human trailer or gameplay. Crazy ass storyline related exactly to this stuff (minus the BBLs 😅)
I don't think Soulo needs a hit. He grew a loyal following just off his lyrics, creativity and subject matter. Though I would be lying if I said I didn't want him to drop that one hit that would propel his career even higher. I think people will eventually catch up, he already got the respect of some of the greats like Hov.
Best female rapper currently gotta be between, Nicki, Doja Cat, and Doechii. Don’t sleep on Doja. Even tho Doja & Doechii are definitely influenced by Nicki, as Nicki was infamy Fox and Kim.
West coast, been dropping so that is funny ppl say folks aren't capitalizing off the pop out is crazy talk. Jason Martin aka problem been dropping. 310 babii been going up. Zoe Osama, Blxst, RJmrLA, Mustard...it's been hella active on the coast.
I agree disagree impactful yes but no way Nikki is the greatest female MC ever Rhapsody would rap circles around her and Rhapsody isnt even the best of all time female wise but if she is for you im not knocking you for it bro. Keep doing what you doing

Strongly advise yall to check out that new Ab-Soul track "All That"

Absolutely. 💯
An-Souls last album probably one of his most “commercial” sounding album. I love that album. He’s definitely the truth!!!
AB is NOW putting himself in more mainstream music. He's been so underground by his choosing. He's ALWAYS been nice tho!
Ab-Soul is my favorite lyricist out of TDE “Terrorist Threats” is one of my favorites
I like you, dude. Thanks for covering TDE and esp Soul, because that's what brought me here. And your intelligence and articulation of real shyt is what made me stay, like, and subscribe. Yay-yayee. L.A. 🔥🔥🙌🏾

She's might not be what you like to listen to but you can't name a female rapper who can compare with the longevity and impact of her legacy.
Photoshoot reigns supreme. It’s so universal and with so many quotable bars- right out the gate.
Undeniable for sure
Didn't agree with the last post, but im here cause your content is 🔥. We aint always supposed to agree anyway. You got a new subscriber either way.

TY Wayno, it’s art when they do it
Nicki put out “big foot”. And she hasn’t had a good album since Pink Print. Great/inspired art vs commercial success is not the same.
I swear I forgot bout that song right after it dropped
Welcome back bigMeech
Finally someone said it. This is why I fucks with Wayno. He has sense.

Royalty is such a good project. Didn't even feel like a mixtape to me. Underground rap was super dope around that time.
The West Coast has been dropping this whole year. From Schoolboy Q, Vince Staples, Jay Worthy, YG, Jason Martin etc.
Forreal, Dom Kennedy dropped last week too. 03 Greedo dropped this week as well. G. Perico got another one coming too.
Im with All That. Soul 2 for 2 rn
You doing some good numbers doe
What about Rhapsody?
You are right. BET does pander. I agree with you bro
Ab-Soul is more respected on the East than Kendrick is… and that Flex freestyle is a big reason.
They gonna say he flopped because he might not sell a bunch of records… according to akademiks
