Somebody: What’s the time? Sean Bigga: I’m a BOSS!!!

[@saucyfaces]

There's a deficiency in Self's listening skills.

[@chasingdreams222]

DJ Self is a horrible interviewer. Please note: A key tool to being an effective interviewer is to first LISTEN! Self, you over-talk your guests, interrupt critical points, and speak in circles. STOP IT! Furthermore, it's not called playing "devil's advocate," asking the same question differently; it's called word salad. If that's hard for you to change, let Bianca take the helm.

[@Tagtwo402]

I agree the worse interviewer stick to Dj

[@Tagtwo402]

Let Bianca take over self art super slow

[@alvinfowlkes9383]

The worst

[@TheMj1s]

100% you can't "play devil's advocate" the entire interview. Turns into the guest basically defending everything they say.

[@stephenjones4013]

Facts

[@kolastackers]

Self has no self control 😂 damn bro you was interrupting the guest more than NORE lmao... all Love tho, I think this can easily happen when friends interview friends. 💯 salute to APT 5H

[@Aaronbillydatstar]

I hate self

[@Aaronbillydatstar]

I hate self

[@BulldogTalk40yrs]

Self needs to allow the guests to "answer" the questions and stop interrupting. He doesn't listen to the guests smh

[@MinistryB4Industry]

Thank you, that's my issue with him as well.

[@ewgarcia06]

Damn dj self can’t let them finish their words 🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂😂

[@darkseid1757]

Truth be told...and much respect to these brothas for doin they thing BUT I was NOT watching My Expert Opinion because of Hynaken and Esso. I didn't know who they were when they came on the show. I was watching it before they got there and I'm still watching it. I'm just sayin...

[@kingnatesr.5078]

Same here.... It seems like they've created the narrative, that they're responsible for 500k subscribers on my expert opinion, in less than a year. But they've had there show for a year, and have around 45k subscribers. There highest views are when my expert opinion is in the description.

[@LH2KPresents]

Now Math is in hot water because he said on Vlad that he fired those 2 because they were “creating” or trying to “create” Bagfuel on the side right? How can Math explain “creating” or attaching the word “create” to a show he already knew existed when Esso played that clip for Self? All you have to do is be patient & everything will play out the way it’s supposed to play out. How do you say that someone is creating something when that word basically tells everyone that it didn’t exist? Basically how do you create a product that is already is existence?

[@MinistryB4Industry]

I think it's long past time, that people who want to do interview podcasts take some interviewing classes. You have to let the guests do most of the talking and stop interrupting them because you love to hear yourself speak. When you ask a question, let them answer without interrupting with another question. That's the main issue I have with Nore and drink champs. Self needs some self awareness

[@maddoxmalcolm]

Thank you!!!

[@acpjr]

As much as I wish Nore would get in to any kind of journalist bag, I give him a pass because he's Nore. Self on the other hand ain't no Nore!

[@Imissedyourcall]

Damn. “Come to my house so I can cash app you your money”. That’s wild AF.

[@Rugbyrug]

Just happy Esso winning. Queens shit. Remember him on tonight at 8. Been following him ever since and he really putting his light on Queens artist right now. Keep winning king we appreciate you 🤞🏿

[@bigfool1844]

Define winning

[@Rugbyrug]

@@bigfool1844 this the most notoriety he’s had since he was in the industry. The pod is informative and working. They’re uplifting artists everywhere from the Tri-State to everywhere else. They’ve built a spotlight for themselves. Winning.

[@URFAVTROLL]

He’s a good dude and he need to drop beer bottle because hes 2 goofy

[@emminabox6656]

and hats down to bianca who caught everytime Self was asking or saying shit

[@nothing-oj1sz]

Self doesn’t need a podcast. Chill out.

[@batriciaparker]

Great interview! I love me some Hynaken & Esso. It's something about them and their energy that made me gravitate towards Bag Fuel. I was once a MEO fan but it doesn't hit the same for me like when they were there.

[@genikathompson5432]

[@QueenKesh181]

So happy to hear there side of their story. Good interview! Am proud of these Two Kings🔥❤🔥 Bag Fuel

[@workaholick]

DJ self is worse than Nore; stop interrupting & let them finish making a point, great episode by the way clearing up this issue! 😂

[@babywizardkelly166]

Don’t know you Bianca but thank you sister for adding common sense 💯💯💯

[@JeremiahDavis-2894]

That Sean Bigga interview might do 500k views 😭😭🔥🔥🔥

[@biggmixxo]

[@diamondscloudznizcream9839]

Lol, super slow

[@DonniesWrld35]

I feel like Dj self knows wut actually happen...but he's gotta make it interesting 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Aceito_DedicationTv]

Yo WASSUP WITH SELF PLAYING SO DUMB IN THIS INTERVIEW LOL. HE MUST BE COOL WITH MATH AND THATS FINE BUT DOG YOU ACTING REAL WEIRD‼️ Major Shout to Esso and Hen! Esso you dropped a lot of 💎 in this interview! I love and appreciate it‼️salute 💯

[@ske13ok]

I love how in the description they wrote Tony “Mayo” !! 😂😂

[@JayJay-lw9oi]

They telling the truth I subscribed after I seen these two. No cap I became fan of MEO because them mecca Harlemmmm

[@kereldidit]

Self loves the sound of his own voice ... why have guests ?

[@rockinbeatz]

💎💎🚀🚀🏆I'm so glad these brothers (BAG FUEL) got to speak their truth on somebody else's platform. Sp8, Hynn, and Es$o have been in the music industry for a long time and ppl in the music industry know they have good character, morales, and do great business. I didn't like the way Dj Self asked those question though - very redundant, kind of misleading, and almost seemed like he was trying to discredit Es$o. DJ SELf, I felt should have been more like Vlad was when he interviewed Math, since they have history. You can tell that Vlad had Math on his show to share his side of the story. Well, dj Self should have done the same thing. Anyway, it is what it is! Going forward, I hope Math can look at this shit as business and stop being in his feelings, and the two of them (Bag Fuel) can make some $$ together. #TogetherWeStand #dividedWeFall #OneLove

[@prophecyproductstv4404]

A lot of lessons to be learned in this 🎯

[@ericrowland3246]

My man got Lena the Plug as a co-host! That’s wassup!

[@apt.5h]

The co-host's name is Bianca Torres. Appreciate you tapping in!

[@DaBeatm8ker]

Math channel was growing at an alarming rate before these dudes. 🤦🏿‍♂️. Yeah they should have been compensated and all that but to think they believe they catapulted Maths show is insane! I remember cuz I come from the battlerap community. Math was rolling!

[@DLOOT11]

Then be honest. When they joined the show it immediately became better. The battle rap angle chat was limited and Math knew it.

[@DaBeatm8ker]

@@DLOOT11 math had been stopped doing battlerap shows. 😂😂. U wylin! The show was a hit before them and it continues to be. U must just started watching. 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@DLOOT11]

@@DaBeatm8ker People lie,numbers don’t. It became better show period. Conversations,and questions from different angles. Mecca with his two cents.Biggs with the spiritual no nonsense.Esso music business analysis.Hynekin with the humor. Math the ring leader. You sometimes didn’t even need guests ( Some of Math’s best shows)because they were so engaging towards each other. Now you need great guests all the time.

[@tayjackson3755]

Self you was trippin this day bruh😂 everybody have a bad day tho

[@BaggaBee]

37:53 Esso not seeing the right perspective regarding him being on more than one platform. The relationship show cut him back because of this but he can’t see why Math had a problem with it. Even Hynaken understood that it could be a problem. I like these guys. I stopped watching expert when they left. Salute. Salute Bigga.

[@Rizzlyricist]

Sean saw the Bigga picture and left. Esso and Hynaken both were always in their own lane. Math Hoffa is a sellout.

[@balle733]

They are pocket watchers.

In other words, Esso saw what everyone else sees ...... Math is horrible as a rapper, and far better as a personality on his show, so let's just focus on that 😂

Dude Esso said Math ain’t did nothing for him but this whole show is about Math 😂😂

[@brianwestbrook2041]

Self is not a good listener and you cant be a good interviewer unless you're a good listener - sometimes the interviewer should just let you cook - Self should let the lady speak more

[@chasingdreams222]

OMG, I just wrote the same thing before reading the comments. Self is a horrible interviewer!

[@bdukes8075]

[@ronmexico1043]

Some people are just one sided like this sometimes. Two people are talking and one person never realky listens on hears bits and pieces and is more concerned with what they are going to say/ask next

[@millionairetobe]

The interviewer needs to start listening more and let the guest get their full thought out.

[@goatstature8263]

Bruh if yall went viral so many times how come yall can't go viral anymore? And after you guys left, he went up another 300,000 subscribers. And stop Bigga brought nadda to the show

But i cant think of to many guys with a classic. Off top jay, Nas, Big, DMX, snoop, Dre, Pac. I'm sure I'm missing some but it isn't easy to accomplish.
