Cosmic Kev been holding it down for Philadelphia for decades what he does for Philadelphia and the hip-hop culture and the streets is second-to-none 🐐👑

[@joeblowbali2804]

Spade-O from major fights in my top rappers and I'm 44yrs old from Newark NJ that was that ERA 🔥 Audio Crack

I am 46 from Montclair NJ and you aint Lying Spade-o was and still is special on the mic

[@v.m.m101]

@@robbsheff5982I’m 37 from Queens, NY and Dutch & Spade was making dumb noise in 2000

[@sunofman7ify]

Everyone forget about Phillys Most Wanted one of the first to have Neptune productions

[@robbsheff5982]

If there was no Phillys Most Wanted we probably would not have had Beans on the Roc because he got his deal the day he went to rocafella with them. The Audition was for PMW but beans jumped in a cypher and killed everybody

[@notavailable4596]

​@@robbsheff5982Not to mention Clipse never doing anything. PMW worked with them and were in all their videos to give them street cred. Just like the Figgas in Wayne's early videos with Cash Money. Then you have the Philly artists on some of Pharrell's early music.

[@youngsm06]

Cosmic Kev Philly legend. Salute

[@samgunz1]

I love the love for beans... he is really a legend... Growing up in Philly, I remember when he came on the scene... niggas was hype

[@EEP1215]

Couldn't have described this any better about Philly at that time !!! Nostalgic

[@DjVintageGrapez]

I remember the days of seeing that major figures wrapped van floating around. Dope moments 🔥🔥

[@Rizzlyricist]

Can't wait for the full interview

[@emekaosuagwu6416]

There are a lot of philly spitters who never blew up,it wasn't only State prop or figgas,there were a lot of them

[@urbannuance5151]

I'm from Philly, allot of them Philly artist had the same management. I think it was called Black Friday management.

[@Hollywoodken88]

Yeah that was Charlie Mack label

[@JimBrownski]

Lol Im from DC, but even we had them Cosmic Kev mixtapes then. I loved Dutch & Spade . I remeber that Philly joint with beans and them was a serious banger

[@williamsantana370]

[@michaelknorr5575]

Friday nights in Philly are legendary because of Cosmic Kev💯

[@williamc.shieldsjr2522]

No one knew the word scrap outside of Philly until beans came out

[@jayja6200]

He said “Let me talk to you scrap” on Look At Me Now 😂 this real shit. Let them tell it we be stealing slang 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Chali_M]

Kev know RAM Squad had the city before them

[@v.m.m101]

Snitches

[@JohnBranch-f6k]

I second this statement

[@urbannuance5151]

He's a right about Segal's, he was the original lyrical beast. But being from Philly ALLOT of us got talent. I was down with 100X and X Caliber records. Local Philly crew of SPITTERS

[@Yardiemerican]

@urbannuance BIG FACTS btw tbh every track he got with hov i think he went in way more than his boss n if u a hip hop junky like me u can relate

[@P.idouble]

Yo we can’t forget about the Hill Top Hustler they put the city on early in the game to lead the way for MF and SP

[@lilal75]

Damn they keep cutting kev off lol but I love that kev telling the history of that major figga movement i was there 1997-2001

[@geezalito19]

MAJOR FIGGAS Movement was the best Movement FROM THE BOTTOM that I EVER seen💯STATE PROPERTY needs to thank MF for turning down ROC-A-FELLA🎯

[@tyharris8124]

Finally someone tells the story ...Gillie and them had the city on smash nobody heard of the state property dudes ...it was major figgas beanie sigel and Philly most wanted ...

[@g-holy]

U right for the most part but I heard O on some Diamond District shit & he had a tape floating around that just said "Oschino" on it. He was also apart of that first Jimmy DaSaint push. I forgot them niggas names lol

[@tyharris8124]

@@g-holy yeah oschino was apart of ICH

[@g-holy]

@@tyharris8124 Yeah. Inner City Hustlaz, but he featured on a Diamond District song before n I was like who tf is that? But yeah, State Prop definitely ain't have no buzz prior to Rocafella.

[@eib3137]

I'm from Brooklyn once we got those tapes it was dudes scrambling all over to get a copy. I remember in highschool dudes having arguments for the whole lunch period about Gillie being better than Jay z

[@rasheensteedley1529]

@@eib3137I remember this

[@khlyalda]

Beans first appeared on the Money Cash Hoes remix and landed on a posse cut w/ The LOX & Sauce Money on Jay's Vol 2 album all in that same year! He ain't even put a solo album out that year and got on the Hard Knock Life Tour. This man had the illest headstart as a debut artist!

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

You tell em about Sigel, Esso.

[@_unclecharles_]

ppl think cuz Beans was from philly and he was on Rocafella first he formed state property.The only person Beans bought to Rocafella was Freeway

[@dramahawkpromotions9621]

Yes i loved Beans Major Figgaz doing joints together

[@urbannuance5151]

What about the Tommy Hill and the Ram Squad? Cosmic Kev use to play them ALL DAY in the 90's lol 😂

[@v.m.m101]

“I see nothin but gangstas up in here”

[@OldHeadTV1]

major figgas and beans was beefing way before young gunz dropped a single the beef started 2 years prior p cutta documented everything on those streets wars mixtapes...yall should interview him soon p cutta most def deserve his flowers for those street wars series.

[@michaeljohnson8353]

I like this channel but Esso should let people talk more uninterrupted.

[@blaquenguni9249]

I've heard a gang of stories of Cosmic Kev blackballing other Philly DJ's tho

[@g-holy]

Me Too.

[@OmarScruggs]

As a Philly dude i tell you when i think it went wrong. Listen to DJ Cosmic Kev "The Best of Beanie Sigel" its amazing. Sigel, Figgaz, and Philly's Most Wanted. Sigel beat up Cosmic Kev bad for not paying him for the sales of the mixtape. I think that started tearing Philly down

[@Bgl-fz3cs]

💯

[@samgunz1]

Sig stay beating somebody up 😂

[@beebee5885]

Let the guest talk

[@Bgl-fz3cs]

Young Chris was the one that set that shit off because Spade-O had a mixtape Independence Day and had a line or lines on a song that was suspect of aiming at Chris. Once Chris came at the Figgas it was on since and although the bars was crazy on both sides, but ppl died behind that too.

[@frederickjonesel1942]

Damn, y'all gotta let the guests talk.

Beans still a beast 💯💯💯

[@emekaosuagwu6416]

The guy who braids his hair,is it esso, likes to out talk his guest alot,he talks too much, like allow the guest to land before adlibing,he was doing the same thing at MOE.... One of the reasons his ass got fired

[@caseykim1293]

Looking back, I had to remember how much Rocafella was pushing Beans. Other than Ye & Bleek, he had to most songs with Jay-Z, he's the ONLY rapper I know that was featured twice the hottest DJ albums w/ The Professional 2 & The Tunnel, and had starring movie roles. Give that man his flowers 💐

[@michaeljohnson8353]

Animosity turned into someone dying between the crews.

[@supremesun4580]

Word

[@GM1800]

He’s being too political with beef story. Major Figgas didn’t have animosity because of that. Jay had animosity that they turned down the offer.

[@g-holy]

They both did. Gillie was running around calling State Prop "replacement killers"... but Jay definitely was mad.

[@eib3137]

​@@g-holy the ultimate insult was beans calling them minor figgas on the basement

@@TheRealShimmyprice yup. It was him and I remember Freeway was dropping bars later on that show, but I believe there was one more person that was up there spitting with them, before Spade-O calling up there towards the end. I’m happy to see everybody cool with each other now like it’s been over 20 years since that beef started. Crazy.

[@KNETWORK100]

Beans ain't create state property... O and sparks were separate. Young gunz was separate , everyone jus so happened to be from Philly. Rmmbr bleek an H money bags was around too.

[@robbsheff5982]

Yes But H-money bags was Bleek's artist his was part of the rap group the CO-D's and they was bleeks rap group signed to him and everything

Esso has too big of an ego to properly interview someone.

[@goldenhiphop4270]

Let's not act like Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston rappers don't have inner city rap beef. Before them, it was Hilltop Hustlers, then RAM Squad reppin Philly

[@starrchildd414]

Sometimes you guys are so full of yourselves that you prevent the guest from speaking....ijs. Why have guests if you end up trying to finish their every sentence? Or interrupt their answers with a nonsense question!? Esso wants to be right too much. I like the show, but stop the B's.
