Appreciate his positive messaging. Gives balance to hip hop . Glad Kendrick put light on him

[@tmcxhusslex3230]

I respect Dee 1 so much. When he ended with have you heard of Kur. KUR is undeniably one of the most slept on artists. His song fallen, him and Dave East, helped saved me through my mother’s suicide. It gives me goosebumps to this day still 💯 much love Kev 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@diaboulique9177]

This was a great interview Kev! I COMPLETELY agree with D-1 about the trajectory of music within our culture; I have been saying this for years!! I am a new writer and I pride myself on my ability to creatively and elegantly tell stories and express the commonly relative feelings of others through with my writing. This purpose filled mission seems to be missing from today’s music and I am doing my part to change that. We DEFINITELY NEED TO BRING BACK SHAME!!

[@Alisha1686]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 Glad he's getting these flowers 🌹🌹🌹🌹. Thank you Kendrick for bringing him to the attention of those of us who didn't know.

[@SteamPoweredSmurfette]

I would have never listened to Dee 1 if it hadn't been for the shout-out from Kendrick and to be completely honest out of the 3 related songs his was easily my favorite. I'm sure this interview popped up because of how many times that I've played it now... But oh my gosh, I'm so grateful to finally have another artist that I actually respect. His lyricism, the passion, the music itself, his attitude? He's the real deal. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves because he's fantastic.

[@FiguringitoutwithGod]

Need more outside the club kinda music, we need grown music

[@Steven-sd2zi]

Dee1 is the type of voice we need right now! 🙏

[@davidday2373]

There's going to be a split in Hip-hop. You can not sweep it away and rebuild, you'll never convince the dull-minded fans to become conscious fans. But you can form a movement that pulls the scene into the Hip-hop that you want to see.

[@LedbyMotivation-dv9ge]

When Little Kim was out, there was a balance, so if someone wanted to hear ratchet music, they had her, but if you wanted to hear ‘classier’ female rappers, you had Lauren Hill, Missy, Queen Latifah and others. Today it seems to be all ratchet.

[@jimdino77]

There is balance but only if the listener seeks it… there isn’t a rap city to play various types of rap. Positivity is no longer spoonfed to the audience.

[@BornGiftedMusicGroup]

Ppl get lost thinking we want no more ratchet it’s more about balance offerings being allowed to be successful

[@Steven-sd2zi]

Check out Reverie if you want to hear a positive female rapper

[@FiguringitoutwithGod]

Check out Rapsody & Lanell Grant

[@emptytombprod]

Respect 🫡

[@JohnJones-hp3wh]

Dee1 been having a positive mind, and conversations. I first found him on a song call Bad combination with Starlito. Been a fan every since.

[@asmrfactory9056]

Already 20 mins in and this conversation is really good!!!!

[@mauriciohernandez1941]

Dee-1 is a solid human being regardless of his message he is a decent human who wants to see the world do better especially the youth it's getting crazy nowadays so we need Dee-1 protect that man at all cost shout-out to you Bootleg Kev for giving him a huge platform

[@ChrisDrops]

“Your fans will pray for me, my fans will come for you.” is the hardest bar I’ve ever heard

[@warismylovecfg1182]

Dee 1 !!!!

[@jtcollins1990]

Ppl pay attention Kendrick is shifting the culture and I have a feeling this is only the beginning!

[@dierichsupreme]

Bootleg Kev, the artist still exists, just no machine behind us, but we grinding on our way, purpose driven music

[@NataschaDeetlefsova]

I love respect and appreciate you so much Dee1so pure, honest. I didn't know much until Kendrick Lamar's new song is awesome

[@phillipmalvo4337]

Great interview

[@TveeV-xc8qj]

Dope

[@davidday2373]

I like how this guy pronounces it "Padcasting"

[@danieldelrancho5749]

Dee uno’s message it’s been the same for many years. He’s true to the mission. ✝️

[@WillyWafflesTV]

Remeber seeing Dee1 back at that Macklemore show In Tempe 🙏🏽 dope to see he’s the same

[@keona3157]

i'm glad kdot introduced me i know im late but glad to find him

[@disturbedconfessions]

I remember this dude 😂 he made a video telling Rappers like Jay Z what to do with his hard earned money

[@groovy_kid3958]

Kendrick put us on fr. I could listen to dee 1 talk all day. S/n: this man looks like hes in his mid 20s omg i dont believe his age.

[@asmrfactory9056]

Y’all should interview Dsmoke

[@BluEx22329]

Good points

[@jeffp.9369]

While he's bashing street rap, people don't ever seem to talk about how basically lots of street rappers are street dudes laundering money into a rap career, maybe even into "legal money lasts longer than drug money", as Master P once said. The originators of street rap weren't really in the streets. Ice Cube was going to college, Schoolly D said he just made his content "street" because he noticed it sold well. So you had people at a young age listening to N.W.A thinking it was autobiographical (it wasn't), and the fans who were easily manipulated decided to give the streets a try, then even some of them decided to give rap a try. And that's been the move for street rap ever since. But it started off (N.W.A., Schoolly D) as exaggeration on wax, and a lot of people didn't get that memo. But also if you got street dudes coming from a life of crime and rapping about crime and making major money off it, it's highly unlikely they'll have a moment of clarity that makes them change their content and start rapping about social issues or uplifting people. That's extremely rare. Even Malice from Clipse changed his mind on that.

[@Blaster216]

He is bashing the OG rappers still glorifying street shit. It’s no need to hear Rick Ross the rapper talking bout selling kilos of coke at 48 years old and a millionaire. That’s what he bashing

[@dierichsupreme]

Shout out to Dee-1

[@BrittneysBlessed]

Bootleg Kevs definition of human trafficking was WRONG. It’s not about flying someone out for sex. It was about flying someone out with the intention of having sex with the other party not consenting or being underage and coercing the person through blackmail money, threats violence, drugging, to perform a sexual act. The human trafficking element is about the coercion of sex and not just flying out to have sex.

[@chavezchavez1133]

Flipn tables!!! Tidal wave is coming. If old school could step up, show the kids another way! Cultivate that positivity and put in the work to push that!! Bigger and Better!! Let God take care of the rest. I pray for all those who have been affected by the violence and drugs !! Peace!

[@jrcolacola]

People who think Sexy Red is okay automatically make me don't respect their opinion...

[@fabianbrown5902]

Word

[@latonyacampbell7232]

Every rapper has there own lane of music but now there is no balance anymore and radio does not give the balance anymore...Radio pushes ratchet music....so the conscious rappers are more underground now...

[@BluEx22329]

J cole an wayne did the DBZ fusion

[@BluEx22329]

💯

[@zayswervo4030]

I hope bootleg Kev ask him how many times he gets mistaken as j Cole

[@YoeGaffi]

[@eltonkinki4818]

[@Signe-m7t]

Thomas Michael Davis Daniel Williams Donald

[@marcwilliams6086]

He's bashing artists that talk about street stuff, but he named all these artists that talk about the streets🤔🤔 he did all that bashing hip hop to get interviews, subscribers, and fame💯because if he had issues with it why get these artists on your album🤔plus if you don't like today's hip hop why are you listening to it Mr Christian🤔

[@noahvizzian]

The fact that someone is calling out hypocrisy and saying there needs to be a change for the positive, for anyone to come against that shows that they are apart of the problem. If you don't like him and what he's saying, go somewhere else. Your comment doesn't add anything substantial to anything.

[@beTORCHINem]

Marc you're goofy and I aint Pluto ya diggggggggggg😂😂😂😂😂

[@BornGiftedMusicGroup]

You totally miss the message but that’s a testament to the message he is sharing

[@Steven-sd2zi]

Bruh, how can you hate on dee1? That says more about you

[@marcwilliams6086]

@noahvizzian I'm not here to start a thumb war or disrespect💯I have my opinions just like you have with my comment🤝🏾✌🏾🖤

[@beTORCHINem]

Yes
