@@prototype8137 Im true head since '88, was big into the underground in that era as well. If you think they were mainstream, then who was underground? I was bumpin Dilated, J5, Blackalicious, Anticon, Deltron, Cali Agents, Atmosphere, Eyedea, Brother Ali, Typical Cats, Slum Village, Copywrite, Aesop Rock, Company Flow, Cage, Sage Francis, R.A the Rugged Man, Non Phixion, Jedi Mind Tricks, Demigodz, Immortal Technique, MF DOOM, Little Brother, CunninLynguists, ect..
My first exposure to Kweli's show. Didn't even know my guy had one. I was smiling from ear to ear the whole way. I can listen to the greats ramble on about hip hop forever. This didn't disappoint. Glad Ev got to open up.
I'm 29 and this took me back to being 12-16. Hearing these stories are so dope. I'm a NYer who first got hip to westcoast gangster rap. LA's underground rap scene was crucial to my growth when I was a bit older. Ev seems like a cool ass dude. Jiu jitsu and all that. I lived in Venice for a year and got to know some locals and he definitely fits that Venice Original type. Shout out to Talib as well. Another legend in his own right. I'm now a new listener to this podcast.
This is fantastic Mr. Greene 💥 I love the knowledge dropped in this and the fact that Evidence WANTS to come back - literally wanted to save his stories for his return. Loved every minute. 🥂 Bless.
This was the illest interview I've seen in a minute! So informative, & Heartfelt.much respect & love for KWELI & EVIDENCE. Two of my favs engaging in meaningful relevant dialog about Life, Hip-Hop, the Human condition etc. I will describe this interview in one word. REFRESHING!!!!!! Big up Evidence & Thank you Talib! Both of you,,KEEP STRIVING 4 EXCELLENCE Peace & Blessings to ya. (Dj KAMAKAZE)
Diehard Dilated fan (So much so that "All movements begin underground" was my senior quote in highschool). Good to see The Weatherman getting an interview. Respect Talib for having him on.
Evidence has been an inspiration to me since, 97? maybe 98. but damn, he touched on something in this interview that helped me realize why I like this guy so much( big shout out to Talib Kweli , Jazz and the people's party for making this interview happen) it's because he does put his personal life out there, if you've been listening to this man for as long as I have you know his struggles, and you might be able to relate to some of them like I have. For me personally, that makes his music that much better. I'm hopin to catch this guy one day at a show just to say thanks.
Arguably one of the best interviews online ever. Not cause the name dropping but because of the sincerity and realness that connects EV, Kweli and the generation of artists that come from that same era. So enlightening, beautiful stories. I grew up with you dudes and everyone you mentioned. I kinda owe you guys for keeping me straight. THIS IS HIP HOP! NOTHING BUT LOVE. BEST HIP HOP CHANNEL.
Two dope legends in one room conversing, some nice eye candy for a co host who also contributes to the conversations thoughtfully, lol diggin this interview. Can’t believe I missed this podcast when it originally came out
Much luv to Talib Kweli & Evidence been a fan of you each for year's.💯💯💯 We need some of the homies from Rhymesayers on here like Brother Ali, Atmosphere etc....
It's generally good to explain terms with interviews like this. She understands that it's important and doesn't want digging to go over people's heads.
No lie, no exaggeration whatsoever: Dilated Peoples (was one of 3 groups really who) completely and utterly changed my life. I thank Ev, Rakka, and Babu so sincerely, for so much.
Are y’all doing an Evidence / Dilated Peoples / Step Brothers playlist like y’all did with T.I., Talib, UGK, etc? I would very look forward to that!! So many classics in all of their catalogs 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great convo. Evidence is world class. Thanks to Kweli and People’s for making it happen. Subroc is my choice for best mc/dj from the era. God made beats like a painter paints a scene. He could attack a verse, or glide on it. I was so into all that posse at the time. 3rd, Chubb Rock, Nice&Smooth, but KMD was so special. I felt like Sub’s passing was a monumental loss that hip hop has never really acknowledged, because his genius was so beyond. While Doom certainly shines bright, the idea that those brothers could have aged like fine wine, together, it’s just tragic.
This so good. First time I heard Ev was on the Loot Pack album Soundieces: Da Antidote - still one of the best underground hip hop albums of all time - would be sick to have Wild Child and MAdlib
I was there in Boston for that "Worst comes to Worst" tour. It was a cold November day. I lost my fake ID, I gave my money to a homeless woman, and my people had me outback waiting for someone to pick something up. However, I bumped into y'all and you let me carry T shirts, then gave me a VIP pass. Forever grateful. Y'all were so cool. I forget who toured with, but one group had two MPC's and they kept hitting me up for weed. I gave em' a cupfull of outdoor, went home broke, but had one of the best nights of my life.
Evidence is Dope, been following since I heard Mr. Slowflow, then got into Dilated after. He opened up a whole new world for hip hop, from the Alchemists to Defaris to Fashawns, etc West Coast Rap..
I hope Imagery, Battle Hymns & Political Poetry will be explained (and hopefully pressed) in the next interview. Plus, w/o Ev, there wouldn’t possibly have been a Kanye. Dope interview as always! Maybe have DJ Neil Armstrong on one?
Trbl Fngrs I still have that album on a burned copy with a handwritten tracklisting in my music collection. "I want it all" and the Redman feature track are my favorites.
@@CarlosHernandez-rl2wg for real? Dam bro you lucky. I heard about that album on this Dilated Peoples documentary. They say its not getting released though.
I love Evidence music, so grateful I saw him live in Copenhagen. In the early Dilated Peoples days his voice didn't work for me, but somewhere along the line he stepped up and now he's incredible to me. Peace and Prosperity to all my Party People!
58:50- 59:58 Thank you for sharing and paraphrasing how you heard Mtume explain artist development in an interview from off the top. This whole episode was time well spent.
College Dropout tour! Hell yeah still got my tour shirt with him and his long sleeve yellow and blue stripped polo with the collar flipped up on it. Hell yea h.o.b Hollywood! NEVER FORGET!
Sick. I love how, as cliche as it may sound, all the stars aligned. No pun intended. You start connecting the dots, and this cat knew that cat and so forth. It's just those who wanted it more and had that drive actually did something. Superb. Peace and love from South Gate, California. 🤘😆🤘
Love Evidence and Dilated. Back in the late 90's, I did a show with them before they signed to Capitol. That was their moment and everyone knew it. Shout out to FRIDAY NIGHT FLAVA'S - dropped that gem at age 16.
that was a dope interview! Ev...On your last tour... I met you in London On and you signed my vinyl... also talked to you with my gf at the tour bus in Waterloo On a couple days later. Loved your material since work the angles...youre an amazing artist! Nothing but respect for you...YOU are an inspiration! Thank You!

Can we get a Myka 9 interview in the future! Love the show
UPROXX Video Everlast would be a dope interview......
Talib I would love to see sum more producers on here, Preemo, Hi-tek, RZA?
This to me is the best episode and it changed my opinion of Talib as a host.
Talib and Ev help define underground hip hop for me. This is classic.
Me too. Absolutely.
agreed. I didn't even realize until I read the comment.
They were never underground though... Theyre both as mainstream as you can get. Especially dilated, i grew up in that era. That was not underground...
@@prototype8137 back then the mainstream had actual hiphop
@@prototype8137 Im true head since '88, was big into the underground in that era as well. If you think they were mainstream, then who was underground? I was bumpin Dilated, J5, Blackalicious, Anticon, Deltron, Cali Agents, Atmosphere, Eyedea, Brother Ali, Typical Cats, Slum Village, Copywrite, Aesop Rock, Company Flow, Cage, Sage Francis, R.A the Rugged Man, Non Phixion, Jedi Mind Tricks, Demigodz, Immortal Technique, MF DOOM, Little Brother, CunninLynguists, ect..
Honestly one of most underrated and consistent MCs ever
Evidence has always been so smooth to me. Been rocking with dude since Dilated Peoples and he’s gotten better consistently.
My first exposure to Kweli's show. Didn't even know my guy had one. I was smiling from ear to ear the whole way. I can listen to the greats ramble on about hip hop forever. This didn't disappoint. Glad Ev got to open up.
Dope! Respect to Evidence. Been rocking with Dilated since “97”
iamsp Fresh word up! Same here 👊

I Love Evidence! Chase the Clouds Away is one of my favorite joints that got me through alot of tough days much love Ev!
Do you still listen to it or not
2 of my favorite artist just having an honest dialogue. This is Hip-Hop!! Much love!

Word me too . SEATTLE 206
Mr. Slow Flow aka The Weatherman ☔️ 🔥
Weather or not😂😂😂😂
I've had the pleasure of meeting both these MCs in Boston at different times. They were 2 of the most humble and genuine dudes in the game no doubt
"i dont like it if its a job" - man that resonates with me so much
Brilliant interview. This show never fails me.
i love my wife
This is fantastic Mr. Greene 💥 I love the knowledge dropped in this and the fact that Evidence WANTS to come back - literally wanted to save his stories for his return. Loved every minute. 🥂 Bless.
Evan Taylor Jones definitely.you can feel the passion in his voice.

Big up Evidence & Thank you Talib! Both of you,,KEEP STRIVING 4 EXCELLENCE
Peace & Blessings to ya. (Dj KAMAKAZE)
Diehard Dilated fan (So much so that "All movements begin underground" was my senior quote in highschool). Good to see The Weatherman getting an interview. Respect Talib for having him on.
Ev is dope on the mic and production... i first heard of Dialated Peoples cause of Tha Alkaholiks and been bumpin them in H Town ever since
My favorite Emcee. Never knew he was a producer. I always gravitated to his verses in Dilated Peoples. Big ups to Kweli and love from Africa, Namibia.

Awesome podcast. Dilated Peoples was a heavy part of my high school days, great memories with this real Hip Hop. Really enjoying these podcasts!

My face was probably screwed when she asked him to explain digging. Sometimes I forget how forgotten our era has become.
She annoys me....I don't understand her purpose!!! She be super excited and out of the set....
Facts its sad
Maybe she was doing it for people who don't know.
Uh hello...some people didnt grow up in that era its not forgotten just not known. Silly.
It's generally good to explain terms with interviews like this. She understands that it's important and doesn't want digging to go over people's heads.
As one of those people who always brings up Last Call when talking about The College Dropout I am blown away I didn't know Evidence produced it!
No lie, no exaggeration whatsoever: Dilated Peoples (was one of 3 groups really who) completely and utterly changed my life. I thank Ev, Rakka, and Babu so sincerely, for so much.
Michale looks like he's still going through it. RIP TO HIS WIFE.
Awe man.😰
For real though. Ev is such a dope rapper and to hear about that when it happened, damn. RIP Wendy
My two favourite MC's of all time. Legends 👏👏👏
First concert of my life I was blessed to see Jurassic Five, Dilated People’s and Talib in Lawrence Kansas, May 2000. Senior year of high school.
Yo was that at the Grenada bye chance?
Been waiting for this! Peace to the DP’s!
the double penetrations?
dope ass interview ! always loved how dilated peoples was/is graff writers I can relate, talib killing the podcast game !
Dope interview. Dilated People and EPMD is what got me into hip hop in the mid-2000s, Ev is definitely one of my favorite emcees
Are y’all doing an Evidence / Dilated Peoples / Step Brothers playlist like y’all did with T.I., Talib, UGK, etc? I would very look forward to that!! So many classics in all of their catalogs 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You got it fam! ruclips.net/p/PLxo7H7n2_s1hf-LmuLRKuqJjzZJIX-XOg
UPROXX Video Love it!!! Thank you guys. Incredible episode as well 🙌🏽
@@uproxx beautiful work
G'looks @UPROXXVideo
Great convo. Evidence is world class. Thanks to Kweli and People’s for making it happen.
Subroc is my choice for best mc/dj from the era.
God made beats like a painter paints a scene. He could attack a verse, or glide on it. I was so into all that posse at the time. 3rd, Chubb Rock, Nice&Smooth, but KMD was so special. I felt like Sub’s passing was a monumental loss that hip hop has never really acknowledged, because his genius was so beyond. While Doom certainly shines bright, the idea that those brothers could have aged like fine wine, together, it’s just tragic.
Oh, that's the Roc he was talkin about? Wow.. I never knew
How dis they both know each other?
This guy carries the torch for the art better than just about anybody left alive
Great interview! Evidence is one of my favorite rappers and photographers! Got one of his beautiful prints on my wall
This so good. First time I heard Ev was on the Loot Pack album Soundieces: Da Antidote - still one of the best underground hip hop albums of all time - would be sick to have Wild Child and MAdlib
I was there in Boston for that "Worst comes to Worst" tour. It was a cold November day.

"i went from slow flow to never the same flow, cause doing part two's not the reason i came for!" great interview, much love to both talib and ev!
Much love and respect to EV!
LEGEND. Good energy always with Evidence.
Evidence is the man such a great interview
Weather or Not still on repeat. Dope record, first song to last.
Evidence is Dope, been following since I heard Mr. Slowflow, then got into Dilated after. He opened up a whole new world for hip hop, from the Alchemists to Defaris to Fashawns, etc West Coast Rap..
This is so sick! TALIB WHAT UP SON!!! Gravitas is underrated
One of my favorite Mc EV. WHEN YOU WEAR YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE THIS THE PUDDLE IT LEAVES
EV HAS NO CLUE HOW LEGEND HE IS. EVIDENCE IS MY ALL TIME NUMBER 1 lyricist and beat maker
Love both these guys. U know when people are friends and are just chopping it up rather then an awkward interview. Awesome!
Man!!! I been sleeping on this podcast!
So glad I stumbled across it.
Love Kweli... and he has some really dope guests!
Same here Brah, great wisdom all over the place here!
I hope Imagery, Battle Hymns & Political Poetry will be explained (and hopefully pressed) in the next interview. Plus, w/o Ev, there wouldn’t possibly have been a Kanye. Dope interview as always! Maybe have DJ Neil Armstrong on one?

@@CarlosHernandez-rl2wg for real? Dam bro you lucky. I heard about that album on this Dilated Peoples documentary. They say its not getting released though.
Great interview Kweli. Ev we need a new Dilated album. That fist one “The Platform” tuff to beat classic . Id like to hear that sound again.
Such a Beautiful Conversation of Heart Warming Connection, Humility, Sincerity, Openness, Love & Respect! 🤗🌍💞
Great interview... two underrated gems right here
Peace to "Mr Slow Flow" - From South Africa
*GREAT INTERVIEW, LEARNED A LOT! NOW... WHEN YOU GETTING ALCHEMIST ON THIS JOINT? LET'S FUCKING GOOOO*
I met Kanye at a Talib kweli show ... thank you Talib
He's very humble,he might not realize how much of a legend he really is!
Evidence is hip hop!
EV = Good Dude love his music...Dilated Peoples fan 4 life
Not even a rap fan but I love interviews like these that get behind the music, the inspiration and the background of an art form.
Talib is in his 40-s but his voice is forever young!!!
I didn't realize how young he was... relatively speaking I grew up with his music and whatnot.
Evidence is literally one of my favorite rappers
I love Evidence music, so grateful I saw him live in Copenhagen. In the early Dilated Peoples days his voice didn't work for me, but somewhere along the line he stepped up and now he's incredible to me. Peace and Prosperity to all my Party People!
58:50- 59:58 Thank you for sharing and paraphrasing how you heard Mtume explain artist development in an interview from off the top. This whole episode was time well spent.
Evidence, so on it . Keep practicing your craft. Cant stop and come back to the same. 👍👍👍👍👍

Sick.
I love how, as cliche as it may sound, all the stars aligned. No pun intended. You start connecting the dots, and this cat knew that cat and so forth.
It's just those who wanted it more and had that drive actually did something. Superb.
Peace and love from South Gate, California.

EVIDENCE IS IN MY TOP 10 MCs OF ALL TIME!! ☔️☔️☔️
I like evidence breakdown of Los Angeles, it's TRUE. Lifestyle are different.
Peoples Party growing early and fast..Sulute to Talib.Im now a sub 💯
We appreciate the respect ⚡️
He mentioned Mach-hommy I like that
Kenny Chrone Brick City, we here
This could've been 3 hours long :)
Love Evidence and Dilated. Back in the late 90's, I did a show with them before they signed to Capitol. That was their moment and everyone knew it. Shout out to FRIDAY NIGHT FLAVA'S - dropped that gem at age 16.
Much love from germany!
This channel is so much worth for refreshing my European basic school english on this level by them dudes that made my youth a life
Superb show! Keep it underground based. Love the history and insight.
So many gems dropped. I’m only 15 mins in and I thought it had been 45 min. So much jam packed
I love this because you get to know about these artist that usually not to open about there personal life
there go the Evidence.. michael perretta been dope. Salute for this 💯
"You have to not discourage people, even when you are not seeing it sometimes."
that was a dope interview!
Ev...On your last tour...
I met you in London On and you signed my vinyl...
also talked to you with my gf at the tour bus in Waterloo On a couple days later.
Loved your material since work the angles...youre an amazing artist!
Nothing but respect for you...YOU are an inspiration!
Thank You!
It's good to know Ev and Em are cool with each other after that beef. Probably will never happen but I'd really like to hear both on a song.
the bad guy With ALC on the track would be crazy to hear.
Worst Comes To Worst is still one of my favourite tracks.
Searching For Bobby Fisher - underrated diss track.
Word Lifer dissing who? I missed that
That's Evidence's track dissing Eminem
Love these guys and underground backpack raps. God bless..
Respect to Ev. Met him outside of a show in a small city in Australia, that's giving back to the heads.
Listened to this beginning to end... Amazing interview....
2 of my favorite artists. Nice to see them chop it up in this setting. First time i've seen an Ev interview.
The Layover EP Was Fire
Yeah it was
Forest Whitaker did a great Talib Kweli impression there
Dope, been looking forward to this based on the clip
Does not disappoint!
Hell yeah, this was a great conversation from two of the greats
Back in 09 I faced hard loses 🙏🏽 and that’s the same year I first heard Evidence. His music got me through it 🙏🏽
"When worst come to worst my people come first"
Listen to killah priest - one step. Thank me later
@@adamcallaghan2135 Heavy Mental is my favorite album,Tai Chi,B.I.B.L.E. ect!
Met Ev and Rakaa in Boulder 2001. Peak Dilated! Those were the golden hip-hop years...
Evidence is true hip hop royalty. His Lyrics and beats, superb. Ev is always getting better
"I'mma Chicagoan, til Chicago win...
Or til we blow like Chicago wind"
Classic line from Ye. Not sure who wrote it, but it was dope as Heaven!!!
Timeless rhyme for sure. Love This Way.
EV is one of the greatest to do it. Right back to his early years with Battleaxe records, all the way to now. Master of the craft.
Rest in Peace Double K from People Under The Stairs. Please get Thes One on the show!
They're real L.A hip hop legends like Evidence.
I hope you guys get evidence back for a part 2 to this interview. I could listen to him and Kweli share stories and talk Hip Hop for days.
Much luv from the Navajo Nation! ✊🏼✊🏼
Great episode, really vibes with the knowledge Ev dropped. "It was fire"
