Mac G and Sol are true interviewers. Jim probably thought it was going to be another bubble gum interview, but the boys were well prepared. He had no choice but to interact. So underrated

[@user-gy6qg3gx5k]

It's how MacGyver is able to work around every mood or personality he comes across! Jim started off stiff and slowly relaxed into the idea of podcast and chill. Mac you are it🎤

[@thembalihlemiya3395]

That's true towards the end Jim was super relaxed

[@janlehong5123]

They usually start off high on weed, then snap back after it wears off 😂

TWO THINGS. 1. Mac is so smart, Jim came out very bored and stiff and njee... Mac kept his cool and excitement and same energy, he didnt level Jim's energy... and guess what, Jim ended up leveling their energies, he warmed up. Broooo!!!! 2. Dude is so smart... he thanks Jim for being here 20 minutes before the interview ends, then continues... again shake hands and thank him, then immediately says "SoL any last question?" ...ask and ask, then says "bro before you go, give us your top 10" ...lol MacG is daaaamn good, and him and SoL complement each other so well.

[@mthokozisiephraim2021]

For those who never followed Hip Hop closely, Jim Jones might be an unfamiliar name, but he has been a significant figure in the industry. As a member of the iconic group The Diplomats (also known as Dipset), Jim Jones played a crucial role in shaping the sound and style of early 2000s rap. Known for hits like "We Fly High" and his unique, gritty voice, he brought a distinctive energy to the game. While some might find his style polarizing, there's no denying his influence and the legacy he’s left in Hip Hop culture. Give him a listen and you might find a new appreciation for his contributions! For a chiller whom is into Hip-hop and grew up with it as my first love of music this was one for the books nevermind the tolerance in between the interview 👏🏾👌🏾
