Both Ferg & Soul were on GTA5 if I remember correctly., I’m existed for SoulBurger

[@particlejim]

"I'm the BOAT, I'm just a vessel" I see what you did there Soulo

[@jaxontye5134]

And also the shit about not fighting the currents, like water.. boat. Soul the fuckin man

[@particlejim]

@@jaxontye5134 Soul Brotha #2 can't help but talk in bars

[@RonaldJames-eo2hc]

Im happy Ab-Soul is finally getting the respect he deserves. He been killing it for years

[@K12127]

Been killing it for damn near 20 years now.

[@M3theproducer]

Ab Soul the type to turn an interview a freestyle 😂

[@KingM119]

And not even intentionally 😭

[@Bomkazi-th6rt]

“Underground Emperor, my ring needs kisses, every move is calculated like we teach Physics” 🇿🇦

[@RhymePOETIK13]

That's on who wants what with Russ 😁

[@clyde_sa6045]

"eat a rapper then catch an attitude coz now I gotta clean these dishes...soul"🇿🇦

[@WiNNinL0sErr]

he raps how he talks i love it bro🔥😂

[@Ridewithdoc]

Bro been like this since I met him when we were like 17. Really speaks in metaphor all day. Bars in every conversation. Soul is one of one. ⛪️

[@tayalashae8772]

6:40 he’s so right. his music hits me deep, especially as someone who struggles with depression. love you Soulo 🫶🏽

[@Glasweg1an]

I don't enjoy many 'rapper' interviews but Soulo speaks different. The smile building when he starts the I`m the BOAT quote is a beautful thing man, its a beautful thing. Rest In Power Mac and Doe💞

[@sowrandom2315]

Dual of duality crazy 🔥

[@lyndxnjoel6917]

duel*

[@chinedublacc]

Do what thou wilt will be hard to top.. that album should've been regarded as a classic

[@bobbytropo2314]

“Why you think we always in some bind? Cuz they don’t want us to combine” That’s one of the hardest bars I’ve heard in a minute ngl. Souls always gonna give us that raw shit that everyone feels but don’t say.

[@artheals8869]

The best of all time is honestly an even more difficult convo than greatest of all time. “Greatest” has more quantifiable aspects going into it, whereas best is pure skill set, and there’s always a rapper that does something better than another.

[@HelloMyNameIsCody]

Ab-Soul (Soil) you been a huge impact on hip hop for me. You, TDE, Malcom all ya… for that Thank you.

[@HelloMyNameIsCody]
