Seeing this interview right here not only makes me appreciate growing up in a real era of "Southern Rap" but it also makes me appreciate and value life more!

And more important of all their shit was [Authentic]!!! But it is good to see you still well off big dawg {Tela} You anit tired of ballin yet...Lol...Stay bless💯 "Albany, Ga" #229 grind... Lets go@
Chino Simpson real talk
✌™
Chino Simpson double salute from the Carolinas. Both states
Chino Simpson I was born in 81 as well and was raised by that 90s southern rap. And just add a few more names to your list like Outkast- Luke - Master P and everybody on the No Limit Tank. This was a real and uncut era of rap that will never happen again. Much respect to all Downs South Legends.
Chino Simpson Doungeon Family Goodie Mob and the rest of them dudes last but not least
Tony draper had a whole label full of SOUTHERN lyricist.. ball n g, tela, South circle
suave house wasn't no joke in the 90s fam
g Brown he tried to kill tela
g Brown don’t forget CrimeBoss
He didn't treat them right tho. If he wasn't greedy, he could've had a dynasty.
Hubert Wright big facts
Dont 4get Rick Ross was with Draper too.
TELA is an articulate brother... The interviewer is 100. he really allows the dialect to take its course.. so many can learn from him..Motown stand UP
Yea. I can tell He is a True Fan. That's why he knows his music. He interviewing South Underground Legends
This is how grown men conduct they self much respect tela💯
B High I commend you for having all the southern legendary artist in here along with the new future legends. ShoNuff
I’m new to Bhigh but I really like this cat. Main thing I like is how he asks a question and then stops talking. Giving the artist their time to fully talk and express themselves and he doesn’t interrupt or cut them off. Big respect from a new fan 👍🏾
Those interview skills are so underrated but so important.
Yeah. It's as if he respects the person he interviews. You can tell he also a part of the culture. Not the I heard but Eye witness type part.
I've always loved Tela! Oh my gawd! Lyrical genius. The world still aint ready. Every lyric from his Piece of Mind album is my favorite lyric. Thanks for your music, Tela. That real shit! I had the pleasure of meeting him yeeeeears ago at a show he did in Racine-Kenosha area. Much love to you Tela. I kept that Piece of Mind album throughout the years. Fucked around and let someone borrow it... never saw it again. UGH.
Tela was way before his time.
Sho Nuff was ahead of it's time ... Song sounds like something a big producer would make today :)
Wat i said💯
Yeah. He sho was
The South has so many gems in the archives!!! These interviews are important bruh keep it going!!!!!! B High knows his southern music history! Hearing names like Tela, 8 Ball & MJG, Tony Draper, hell even Pen and Pixel graphic is bringing back memories...
Classic interview B High bruh! Tela is definitely a legend. Good to hear from Tela man. That nigga along with UGK, Ball&G, Outkast and Goodie Mob raised me. Much respect

ONLY THING, OT IS THE INTERVIEWS ALL NEED TO B THIS LONG OR LONGER, LIKE DRINK CHAMPS
much respect im from dc we love RAPALOT TELA was my man when i was young glad to see my brother doing well.
Funny how we gravitate to southern music.
My favorite rapper of all time...best underrated spitter..TRUE PLAYER
Dont forget about Do or Die as part of the playa rappers from back in the day
Tela one of the hardest out if Memphis....
Mad respect for Tela! I'm a hometown boy from the M Town & he's one the guys that brought a different flavor to the table back then & that's what made him standout! I actually heard some of the stories from inside the studio at the House of Blues in South Memphis/Orange Mound.
Tela was saying "make it rain" in 2000
Piece of mind is a classic...from the intro to the last song 🔥
Aint heard from this dude in awhile. Dope interview. Twisted and Let It Rain are my favorite songs from Tela.
2:30 - 3:15 he spoke truthfully of his beginnings coming from the City of Memphis, like a real playa does. Some of these rappers can't even simply do that.💯
R.I.P. Mall of Memphis!!!

THIS GUY IS REALLY A GOOD INTERVIEWER HE GOT A GOOD EAR FOR MUSIC.... I LIKE HOW B HIGH GETS ALL THE GOOD KNOWLEDGE OUT OF ARTISTS INSTEAD OF TROLLLING THEM LIKE C THA GOD.
I respect how he keep it about the music and not the money. Great interview.
That Piece of mind album classic 🔥🔥🔥 you probably had to be from that era to understand how nice that album was and still is
one of my top 5 artists of all time
" You need to watch your gal, like you watch your mail. She sicc as hell, standing here joshin', you can't tell?"......My Favorite track - Can't you Tell.
UncleRel You need to watch yo gal like you watch yo mail, she slick as hell, steady head shots and you can't tell....
UncleRel Damn! I've been get'n it wrong this whole time...My excuse was that I was a teenager - lol
Oh I thought he said like you watch your male!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾♀️
I thought he said she slick as gel, which could work too!
@@flingfangflung4089 I always thought it was "slick as gel" too bro....all these years, I can't change it now and I'm sure he says "steady head shots & you can't tell" too.
best song on tela first cd was piece of mind but the whole cd was the truth
Draco Phillips i used to cruise through buckhead late nights with my whip clean bumping peace of mind on repeat loved that song and album.
I keep piece of mind on repeat and throat on a boat
A CLASSIC!!!!
Tired of Ballin...classic, and that shit dropped in the trunk
+Julian Johnston you never here a baller say that SHIIIIIIAAAT!!!
Straight classic
I gotta call from lacresha and some of her nieces said it’s about 6 or 7 dine pieces we could hook up with no chains and no leashes,,,,🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥tela Devin Scarface
Fuck Faces😁
*dime
Dat Fuck Faces joint ain't nuffin but da truth
Tela reminds of Prince.. Prince was wayyyy before his time.. Tela was classy, sassy and could flow.. A real true street brother who lived without steeping on toes and calling females ho's.
Tela: underrated
Sho nuff was a mothafucccin classic
great interview!!! so refreshing to see a interviewer that knows his facts and history!! makes the interview so much better!
Let it rain was my ALL TIME FAVORITE!!!!!!!Still bump it in the Lincoln
Thanks for gettin Tela on B High. What you're doing is great i always wanted to hear more from South artists. i hope you get Gangsta Pat, Tommy Wright or Al Kapone. fuck it, just any south artists that made some bad azz albums.
+EL Gordo LoKo project pat
Good game in this interview. Especially what he said about if you came wack someone woyld tell you "that shit wack". These days the word "hater" makes it easy to dismiss any criticism.
I love it you can tell this a real humble playa he putting everybody before himself in his come up respect from a another G
I said it 2 yrs ago, the industry stole Memphis rap
Appreciate the dopest interviews B High!!
This was really a great interview. Tela was on so on point!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought this album in the 8th grade my understanding was on that level for real ish ! I'm glad to see these comments are 100 and their is no fuckery in the comments. Tela been that dude from day 1 . Stl stand up!
Piece of mind 2019....it dont stop......it won't stop...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
Tela always ben on point since the 90s...
sho nuff one of the best strip club songs ever
Tela puttin it in for tha M. That boi So playa and he right, playas got class. Yall remember how our Uncles was clean ervy time they come around. Hard bottoms and sharp threads.
Man listen. M town and A town have always had a good relationship. Plenty of love. I'm from Memphis and when I moved to Atlanta they showed me nothing but love. And when yall come to the town I do the same. But I'm 36. This respect and comradery is mainly between people of my generation. We have to teach the younger cats mane. Not only about these to cities, but the south as a whole. All of the contributions are important. Yes the memphis sound is the prevalent sound in today's music but Atlanta played a part in that as well. When memphis music was purely underground, we talked about robbing, selling dope, pimping, devil shit and all kinds of shit. Atlanta was not only able to touch a bigger audience due to the fact that it's a bigger market, but some of their subject matter was more radio friendly. Now u had underground A town cats like Oomp camp and pastor troy, Sammy Sam etc., but I think a lot of those dance tracks really took that sound to the masses. Three 6 was doing it for awhile by then and really started to get more rotation on the radio due to different subject matter. Not changing but talking about different things that more people can relate to. But we must shout out Dj magic mike out of Florida. I remember being a kid in the M and hearing feel the bass 1, 2, and 3 all day. He was one of the first to put that heavy bass line in the tracks. And u can't forget Dj Squeeky. Squeeky is where the get buck, get cruck sound was really formed. Listen to his early mixtapes. Paul and Juicy tapes didn't sound like that back then and that's real. They incorporated the sound and became extremely popular. I got to give much love to B high for being real and showing love to the M. But the south as a whole is why that sound is the dominant sound in music today. Ball and G, Ugk, Tela, Scarface, Willie D, Outkast, Goodie Mob, Dungeon Family, Devin the Dude, Squeeky & The Family, Dj Zirk & 2 thick, Project Pat, Three 6 Mafia, Rap a lot, Suave house, No limit, Cash Money........Shit I'm tired of typing but I could go on. But B high that's rms (real man shit) [I'm trying not to use the n word anymore]. I subscribed.
You spit nothing but facts, playboy.... SALUTE 👊....coming from College Park, GA
@@edawg9962 ALREADY!!!!!
Shout out to DJ Magic Mike. That bass used to hit so hard.
Legendary ! Hands down
This was a great interview. I just watched to the end. Tela definitely sounds like Tela. Everybody can’t come out with the same thang. #facts
Much love ❤Tela
B High you never disappoint us mane!! Tela shouts out my nigga
b high always interview people we really wanna hear from s/o to ya keep being epic bruh
I love hearing players spit game.
And that southern drawl sets it off!
He's right about Sho Nuff and the shake dance aka strip club culture... that song does something magical when it comes on!
Much love from Cali/TX
Dope interview. Straight wisdom. I like how he appreciates the music influences old and new. The pioneer rappers were influenced by real musicians.
Tela stay fly
Tela we need some new material from you. Don't think your true fans forgot about you! PowerInMyPeople

The MOST UNDERRATED EEMCEE from the south!

Tela The Legend!
B Hi stay with tha Legends.....Much Love Bruh to all my Southern Folks
I remember he was getting air play in nyc with Sho nuff.. He might have been the 1st Memphis rapper getting airplay in nyc
Who remembers when Gold Club would pass out "Free" tickets in downtown buckhead?
That place was a straight up brothel.
+HeathenDeluxe Gold club put so many other strip clubs outta business back then lol Cheatah's is like one of the last one's still standing.
+HeathenDeluxe Is that place still open?
Brian K. Turner naw gold club been closed for a minute, it's now a parking lot for Marta
+Frank Hughes I'm from up here by Chicago, and we don't have any good strip clubs here. Y'all got them thick cornbread yellow boppa's. Lol
Shit, I'm from Chicago too, I still got fam up there, and yeah the strip joints up there are kinda lagging, but KOD was cool when I went up in there.
Tela got that matte black $300 maaco paint job done on his head
Man he didn't want to step on scene looking old and busted when they're documenting everything.
Tela had Floyd Mayweather in his Tela video back in the day.
Raekwon did too with Zab Judah
Hey it's a new day... It's goin down... Attitudes.. Anutha Day Anutha Balla.. unsolved mysteries. The entire album🔥
Thank you Tela for keeping it 100. W-Def aka Willie Firecracker was the 1st in Memphis.
Great interview !!!
I was in Michigan banging that Piece of Mind album back in 96. I remember playing it and people thought it was whack because of his southern accent. lol Hey Aint nobody out there riding, twisting me, not for free.
DETROIT FASHO. ONE OF THE FEW ALBUMS THAT GOT LUV WHILE ,ALL EYES ON ME, WAS SHUTTIN SHIT DOWN.

Would make a good documentary.
Great 👍🏿 interview 💪💯
My Guy Tela Suave House Rap a Lot No Limit Fly Guy Tela Memphis Standup So Underrated 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Its refreshing to actually hear Tela tell the truth about The History of Memphis Rap. He said that W-Def aka Willie Firecracker was the 1st Legit on the Radio in rotation rapper out of Memphis. The truth is the truth. But certain people dont want to acknowledge that. But its all good.
Rich history ; excellent interview. I must admit that beat & flow on Sho Nuf’ was sooo slamming even the most dignified women find themselves straight “snapping” with Tela🎤 Really shocked my green azz when I heard the explicit (actual), version 🙌🏽! Loved this; great memories of my hometown from the V101 FM radio jingle singer “All Ova Town it’s Chris Brown; jamming on the Chris Brown Show! Watch him go!!
DeLise, Award Winning Artist
Dats pimp c impersonation was slick funny b high keep da pimp c stories coming
