The fact that hes 40.....just don't give up man. Whatever u doing keep going

[@alexandershabazzi8890]

40 is a powerful transformative age. Don't let society fool you with how they've conditioned ageism. 30 - 50 is absolutely a gracious time to evolve.

[@Juline1221]

@@alexandershabazzi8890 your right but doesn't change the fact that finally making it at almost 40 is late for the hip hop genere not saying anything wrong with that but it is what it is. If he started rapping at 40 it would be a lil to late. Yea write your heart out but that's all you about to do. Its still looked at as a young man's sport. I'm not about to listen to no 60+;year old nigga dropping his FIRST RAP album unless it's quincy Jones. His beats would be fire lol

Con's verse on The Cow is the deepest verse in human history. That shit needs awards.

[@stanleylyons1446]

My favorite Conway verse also

[@kyzerbatiste2645]

One of the best songs in Hip Hop hands down / one of the best songs ever in any genre 🥇

[@poopinihodagod3667]

Love the way Kev does interviews. Unscripted. You can tell he is part of the actual culture that he is entertaining. Very important, and also why his interviews don’t incriminate people.

Conway still underrated which is nuts. His projects are legit no skips from front to back.

[@jordandunman7042]

Conway really a rapper’s rapper. No gimmicks, no bs just real rap raw emotion & art.

[@travelbizz920]

Conway is so calm and confident, I havent been there since day one, I wish I was. I am so proud of him. If you grew up in the golden age, you have to appreciate what Conway and Griselda is doing so much!

[@philippbrad2187]

@@travelbizz920 i grew up in buffalo. I remember being in 7th grade hearing about benny (this was probably around 2007ish maybe 2008) the song was called bitch im ballin and he was called 2 chain b.e.n.n.y. back then. I thought he was dope but not a lot of rappers in buffalo make it big. I been following his career since then and its amazing to see how big they all fibally made it. These dudes grinded for real to get where they at now. Salute to them

[@MIDAZSITH]

Conway's a monster.

[@ninjasrose1653]

You watch Conway go on a fucking tear in 2022 now he's not tied to any contracts. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if we got another 4 projects after G.D.M.M. this year. So excited for it. Conway broke into my top 10 and now seriously making an argument for top 5!

A Conway/Bootleg Kev interview gets the thumbs up before the listen. Shit could never be bad.

[@thaimperial97]

"Overdose" is one of the most underrated songs in Conway's catalog. This dude is heavily slept on imo. Can't wait to hear the new artwork or should I say Drumwork😙💨💨🔥🔥🌴🌴

[@jatreviouscampbell]

Glad somebody knows it bro. I remember getting locked up and rapping this shit like I wrote it. That rare form and ‘94 ghost

So is the one with Billionaire Freck off the Physical Therapy mixtape. 💯🔥🥶

[@KraaaHKen]

My guy calling Lemon 'Lemonade'. Conway too humble to correct him.

[@Zaybytheway_]

Great interview you really matched conways energy and made him feel comfortable; shoutout to you for that.

[@MyName1992]

Love Conways music. It’s raw and real and a breath of fresh air in the rap genre. He seems like a real stand up guy too. Obviously treats people how he wants to be treated and is a seriously humble dude When all the top rappers from the golden era show you love then you know you doing something right. As he said before “I’m your favourite rappers, favourite rapper”

[@ptsfix]

55:35 Westside gun impersonation is classic af. I love Conways demeanor btw super relaxed and hella chill.

[@SolidSnake240]

Hell yea. This podcaster I watch told a story about how he got to party with Conway before he interviewed him. Said he's one of the most humble and relatable artists he's met.

Damn Conway I knew for real that should have been the intro to God Don't Make mistakes but at the end of the day it's still one of the illest tracks ever and I know that's the mood you wanted to set for this album. On some really real s*** you should play some of the track in the intro with a few others that were supposed to go on the album and then drop a new intro with a derringer beat for sure and reintroduce yourself to the rest of the world that didn't get to hear cow the way that I heard cow if I was going to make an intro to the album of my life I wanted to sound like cow but specific to my life I'm not trying to be someone I'm not ever you could be who you are and as long as you got the skills it'll get felt by someone but your story come on man haaaaaaaa!!!!! you know what I mean nuff said my G,

I be hearin Benny talk about how nice you are and that you ain't even tap into a piece of what you're capable of and I believe him 100% so when I heard cow I ain't going to lie that's the song that did it for me it was equivalent to 50 cent leaking out many men too early in it's raw form with the first missing n Lloyd Banks on it..lol I'm joking but I'm really not it's a good comparison
