When you treat people with respect, even when they are at a lower station than you, they will always have your back. Jay's people are rock solid when it comes to him. And they have to be that way with each other. Power to the People!

[@Truckin2eat]

That's a super fact about the respect.

Sometimes people like Ye still stick with you if you’re Jay. Even if Jay didn’t support him at all early on and Dame did. They’re all flakes and Jay will chop his best friends head off if it makes him another million.

[@REBELATIONSPODCAST]

Had the blessing of meeting and chatting with Guru when he came to Toronto years ago and he was the keynote speaker at the event. Amazing stories. He needs to write a book.

[@REBELATIONSPODCAST]

PS: That Roc A Fella chain up close in real life...crazy!

Guru work ethic was always amazing. Before you could put the name to face he's been shouted out on numerous tracks. 💪🏾💯

[@rapolympusmedia]

Math has caught lightning in a bottle on numerous occasions with these interviews. Some podcasts might get that one interview a year, Math is making it look easy.

[@ThinkDinks]

Guru is a legend. I wrote a paper for about him while studying to get my Audio Engineering degree and have been tuned into him every since. I wanted to learn and help carry on the torch like him in the audio engineering space. I originally wanted to study how to engineer so I could learn to engineer my own voice and be an artist so it wasn’t no one who could stop me from achieving my dream of changing the world. The way Guru hustled and stayed consistent is such a flex. I still want to intern and study under him, because being an audio engineer takes a level of genius and brilliance that most people don’t appreciate. He knows his mics and the plug-ins, and how to create a unique sound is such an art man. So much respect and gratitude to Guru and so many others who are beasts at what they do and help our fav artist sound as amazing as they do. 🙌🏾

[@VerbalKush]

“I was always grateful. I was always a grateful dude.” Guru rapping on here. #BARS This interview is fire. 🤜🏾🤛🏾

[@YoungDirtyMexicanOfficially]

guru and dr. dre are like gods to me when it comes to mixing hip hop specifically... guru always has a big love for hip hop and i love these discussions. theres Always some type of gems in each interview if u listen closely.

[@KingdomKashVideos]

SOOOO MANY GEMS! This interview is LIFE-CHANGING if you really pick up what he's droppin!

[@Venganzamedia]

These conversations on the history of the craft are cherished by the new generation who appreciate hip hop before the new era. So much insight and inspiration

[@rizzoriz5835]

What ur life like" is the first Guru shout-out......facts 💯💯...

[@smokescreenFromThe6ix]

A few years ago I'm flying back home to Toronto and I see Guru inside the airport terminal waiting for his ride. I think he was judging a beat battle in the 6ix! He spent about 10min with me talking about upcoming projects and his opinions on production equipment. He would have talked to me for another 45 min if his ride didn't come. He spoke to me like we were long time friends. Very cool and humble brother.

[@marqueshayes9275]

This interview is gonna be a classic 🔥🔥🔥

[@kjo2130]

Love how guru appreciates everyone from rocafella. Bleek, Beans, Dame, & of course hov. Dope.

[@BeyBrightOfficial]

I’ve heard several Rocafella people talk on various platforms and one thing that sticks out to me is how much of a positive impact Dame Dash really had on his organization. He really went hard for his team! Notice that Guru said that Dame was the first one to give him the ROC chain. I bet that they all wish that Jay & Dame could have remained friends and business partners. Although Jay is a billionaire now and he’s in a whole new space with ROC Nation, it would be crazy to see what those guys could have continued to build together. They’d be unstoppable in my opinion. Good episode! 👊🏽💯🙌🏾

[@andilegxelesha-maqashu7348]

Fame got the better of him. "the worst drug known to Maan... ". I believe Jay's version of events on "Lost one", there were wild Dash stories by the turn of the decade.

[@krazyk9466]

Math y’all got the best thing going. Guru is easy to comprehend.

[@mcook-69don]

Get duro on the show. I always heard clue and fab and others say his name but never seen or heard from him.

[@ThrowEmBack]

Yeah I agree. He's like a ghost but has been in a ton of sessions and big song along with producing (Clue Era). I remember Mase mentioning him one time before a song that he heard his name so much that he thought he was an old man in the game before he met him but come to find out he was young at the time lol.

[@esilvs]

This is a great one. I agree get Duro on here
