Her interpretation of them lyrics is why I don't like when people try to force feed my way of thinking. Yes the writer has his meaning. But when it's out in the world. Critical thinkers level them lyrics up. This is why when I'm quoted. I ask whomever why and what's their true understanding of that particular poem/rhyme lyric or statement. She made them think higher. That's building. Judge Wise my people. Peace
I NEVER KNEW WHY The WakeUp Show w/ Sway & Tech went off the air (it used to air on 106JAMZ in Chicago) but I remember THE FIRST TIME I saw Sway on MTV and gave the TV a standing ovation 😂😂 it was a LEVEL UP for HipHop ✊🏽💯
On May 3, 2024, Saigon put out an album *_The Jordan Era_* which is actually fire. He and the producer Fredro did an 80s and 90s inspired album. Also on May 3, you had Havoc, Ras Kass and RJ Payne put out their collabo album *_Guttr_* which also deserves more attention. You should bring them on the program to promote their projects.
@@johnrose1908he stopped using the term culture and decided on art form because it’s still art, but doesn’t necessarily reflect the culture. As in its became so commercialized
This was the most enjoyable interview I have seen in a while. What is going on right now? ❤ From being a Dollar Borrowing Soul Survivor to filling The Auditorium, Common and Pete Rock got my nose open. #hiphop4life
I don't understand why 'The B!tch in Yoo' is not mentioned in "The Greatest Diss Track" argument. Remember, Rasheed was the 1st to merc Aubrey. One of Chi-Towns GODS🎤👑
Feeling that ometimes we interpret according to our references. However, hip hop always offers opportunities for reflection and understanding of reality. It was a delight moment watching this meeting. 👏👏👏
Yo bro God bless Common and Pete for what they've been doing for Hip Hop forever now, Love the positive vibes they bring we need more of this in Hip Hop much Love and Respect.
“There hasn’t been a battle that was That back and forth”… Rocafella vs D-Block. Mixtapes. Radio show takeovers. Songs. Live Concert Freestyles. When Beans remade Put Ya Hands Up… still The Hardest diss freestyle EVER.
Kendrick should have a free concert at the most improved School in a State chosen Drake by drawing names of a inner-city School which seen increased % of improvement in at least one area of Academia. Drake should make a donation towards that School. The New RAPPERS BEEF with a purpose
@@omarromero7571 It was a statement that Common and Pete Rock said in the interview. i guess it becomes q debate if people are in opposition to those terms when describing hiphop. Sway seemed fine with it. Three prominent voices in hiphop world.
nice to meet you sway Im a Japanese live in Tokyo. pls listen, when I was My mommys tummy ( in side mum )lol She is DJ. she's policy is when she on stage playin old soul music. "I love black music" she said my ear Diana ross, supremes, hiphop, that's my mums education to me Well pls ask to Pete and common "WHEN WORLD TOUR?" plessssss thank you
Super dope interview Sway!! Big salute to Pete Rock and Common for being stand up dudes. Love the new track and I'm excited to hear the collab album. The biggest problem with AI in music is ownership. If I write down my lyrics I have a "natural copywrite", Its not an official document but I still own the rights to the music. If you use an AI for any part of your musical process you don't own that music anymore. The company who made the original AI does. Secondly, are you are lyricist if you have ghost writers? We have to set a standard for certain titles so we can protect the development of Hip Hop culture. I know AI will always be apart of our world but creativity cant be taught because their original thoughts.
From working with No I.D., J Dilla, DJ Premier, Kanye West, and now Pete Rock. Common truly has led a charmed musical career.
Don't forget Large Professor!!
And Pharrell
I actually really like his albums and projects with Kareem Riggins too!
@@ElHijoDeTere3Electric Circus is my 💩! Start to Finish CLASSIC!!!✊🏾
Man common is the goat.
"Spoke my mind, like my brain was in the wheel of a bike." 🔥🔥🔥
That's a crazy bar😮😮😮
"I believe good music is good music, you dont have to change and be with the new ish" A breath of fresh air to my soul.
It really is. Hip Hop is still alive
If Common was from New York he would easily be on everybody top 5. His catalogue is incredible.
Legit. One of the greats.
Even my Mama likes Common Sense!!!❤
It ain't where ya from its where u at. He's from Chi and he still should be top 5 anyway.
I say the same thing about Twista and Lupe
@@slimboogz4396words stolen from my very thoughts! He's top five regardless.

I still wish for another CL Smooth/Pete Rock album.
They worked great together. Absolutely fire!!
They got issues
Facts 👌
Me too😁✌🏿❣ Their chemistry musically is just on another level❣
Won't happen. Look like they may have reconciled to an extent but CL was ready to beat Pete ass for something personal.
A Gemini and a Pisces. Word life! The DJ and the Emcee.
Kanye- Common ( same connection)
BE is my go to album from Common….I wish we could get another Pete Rock & CL Smooth album too‼️

Com sense is the MAN and finding forever is a CLASSIC
Com' sense and Pete Rock are components of the era of Hip Hop before it became an art form.
Question, wasn't Hip Hop always an artform? It may be more of a hustle now but when did it change and who are the "artist" that changed it?
@@johnrose1908he stopped using the term culture and decided on art form because it’s still art, but doesn’t necessarily reflect the culture. As in its became so commercialized
A blessing of an interview. What a time to be alive.
Love 2 see Pete. Over the years he rarely did interviews. One of My Idols!!!
These two guys, absolutely legendary, music in 2024 ? It’s a blessing ❤
Rap/hip hop Black Americas gift to the world. Funk and R&B are the DNA of rap/ hip hop. Salute to the true pioneers from from 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s.
Electric Circus & Like Water for Chocolate will forever be 2 of the greatest rap records to me, start to finish.
Sway got JOKES!! 😅
L.w.f.c ,be n 1day n resurrection n finding forever > electric circus
Pete Rock and Smoke Dza made a classic. Common and PR is undoubtedly going to be a classic

Still listening 🎧 to The Auditorium Vol 1 - for the 4th time and on each listen I hear something New! 🔥

It is to me, I make sure I mention it every time I see a diss top 10, where Common and Krs One too

Icons of note! South Africa
legendary ish, can't w8 4 this album
I've been questioning the use of 'culture' for over a decade. I LOVE this... #MTVERNON
Really appreciate this video.
Dude works with Ridley Scott, Christian Bale, Denzel….and still returns to his roots 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
It's nice to hear when someone really knows what they're talking about like Sway
Dope🔥 real hip hop back in real time 🔥
I used to Love her is a classic hiphop record 💯
Wise up is a classic
Pete, diamond, madlib, tip, extra, alchemist, havoc should do an album..producers that spit
All of the 90s and 2000 artist should all come back and shower the art form with new material. Then I think music might go into a different direction.
common is a RARE BREED
“There hasn’t been a battle that was That back and forth”… Rocafella vs D-Block. Mixtapes. Radio show takeovers. Songs. Live Concert Freestyles. When Beans remade Put Ya Hands Up… still The Hardest diss freestyle EVER.
This was a one on one battle
37:20 or so! great job Tracy! insightful
Ladies and gentlemen....hip-hop. Enjoy.

The New RAPPERS BEEF with a purpose
Man that freestyle was 🔥🔥🔥 commons always been too much can't wait for this project 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Cuz nine times out of 10 the hierarchy is all his people from his neighborhood and they know how to roll with each other
This track is AMAZING!!!!!! The 90’s vibe will destroy today’s rhyme pattern . This track is what Hip Hop is about
Dang. This is so dope!
The Art Form and The Community is better than culture when referring to hiphop. ( Common and Pete Rock both agree 👍🏾 )
Is this a debate now?

“Spoke my mind like my brain’s in the wheel of a bike” 🔥
That was deep from Tracy on the lyrical breakdown. That should definitely be a segment
Pete Rock is a legend.
"When a kid said could he (Cudi)..I said day and night" ⛽️
Superb show really enjoyed that , Wise Up is a banger ,from UK 🇬🇧
"You building a studio with floating floors??" Sway knows the deal...
Reminds me of a few years ago when I saw Common hyping up Ray Wimbley outside the CVS on Canal in Nawlins during Essence Fest weekend.
The World’s Greatest Show!!!! Much love and light to all of y’all…
N all cap no brim, Common got sweat in his cap like he took a swim.
Rasheed had me goin' to the thrift shops and rockin' it! Game peeps game, playa.✌🏽
Ahh, I see whatchu did there! 😁
