@curtisskingtv Can u please do a exposé on drill rap and how gatekeepers are pushing that to our children to unalive each other. WE MUST ADDRESS THIS CANCER IN THE CULTURE THAT WE NEED TO CANCEL AS WELL! ITS BEING MARKETED AND GATEKEPT CALLING IT HIP HOP. WE MUST SHUT DRILL DOWN ASAP. Sorry, I'm just batsh&t passionate about this “genre” and the HIP HOP COMMUNITY NEEDS TO ADRESS THIS ON ALL PLATFORMS AND ALL LEVELS BEFORE WE SEE MORE KIDS LITERALLY DANCING ON GRAVES!! 🙏🏽🫡💯💪🏽

Not spicy white 😂 Monie, the hip-hop assassin. Enjoyed this interview and points of view from both of you. Thanks for keeping it a buck.

[@Nicole1two]

Right 😂😂😂😂

[@nativesun7661]

J. from “Tea with Queen & J.” originated the term “spicy white” Facts

[@risinics8237]

New here but I LOVE how you accommodate a guest! Asking questions and letting them drive and then adding your two cents - EXCELLENT hosting! Subscribed.

[@DezMonKei]

Y'all doing important work with these real discussions 🖤

[@afrobutterfly]

I'm so proud of and grateful for the way you hold discourse around tough topics, Curtiss! (Not that you need my approval 😅) These convos have to happen! TL;DR - Ish gotta change! ==== Hip hop's *original* mission statement was to inspire, motivate and educate. It was, and STILL is, intended to be a platform of resistance against social injustices, poverty, and marginalization. HEAVY on the social injustices. Somewhere along the capitalistic way, only certain messages got budgeted and pushed. 50 years in, multiple generations have become conditioned to predominantly want to stunt, fight, sell cat, flex on exs and get unnecessarily high - because that is what gets negatively rewarded. Now that we are back to the creator economy, and can be DIYers, we can cut out the toxic-industry-middle-man and get back to the ORIGINAL mission statement. In order to do that, some very upsetting things have to happen 1. Fakers and Moochers Gotta Go - We HAVE to reprioritize authenticity in hip hop. Actually rep where YOU'RE from. People enjoy being tourists to hip hop. People enjoy twisting the message of hip hop. People enjoy profiting off of hip hop and getting cookout passes - that needs to STOP while we clean house. Lock the doors down while we do an internal system check, defrag and F5 this thing. 2. Ousting/Diminishing toxic messages - Yes, we have free speech to consider, but we no longer can cosign using our voices and monetarily supporting artists who are causing harm to our people. EVEN if that means less Drill, less GunBars, less Twerk, less ParkingLotPimping, less Lean/Fen, less PillPoppin, less FreakyAhhMusic. Not saying those sounds *can't* or *shouldn't* exist, but that cant be 80 - 90% of what gets pushed. Not saying everyone has to become 'holier than thou' but we NEED to uplift artists with meaningful, edifying and positive messages to pour onto each other and the generations coming up under us. We can no longer underestimate the potency of our influence. 3. Promotion of Intelligence - I was actually thinking about 'Dumb It Down' from Lupe Fiasco’s 'The Cool' the other day. There has been SUCH a strong push for anti-intellectualism in hip hop that we MAY need to over correct for a little while. 4. FUBU - Vocally and visually edifying and celebrating our image NEEDS to be prioritized. We need to start undoing the damage caused by colorism and unhealthy beauty standards. No more edifying or featuring BBL knees, BBL abs or and other things people hop on a table and lose life and dignity for. Looking forward to a more positive future!

all facts.....I dont even tell people I rap...they find out when they find out

[@dr.keyanahnurse7940]

Excellent conversation, as per usual. Really loved that y'all brought up the gatekeeping in country music as a contrast to highlight the hypocrisy of it all.

[@imyungtankk]

Man PLEASE keep doing these interviews ! We get so many perspectives from these 👀🔥

[@Bigtank9401]

Monie killin' it. "Why Post Malone getting a few Nominations in his first year with Country, but Beyonce can't get any?" She destroyed them with that point. And we can be too welcoming. What we get mad at is the use of Hip hop when it's convenient and then darting out when you find a more lucrative genre. Just like Curtis said, we can't take it on or off whenever. It’s runs through our blood.

[@VinnieDangerous]

I'm going to have to start watching ChillingWithMonie's content. She seems dope!

[@BlackNella]

Do it!! She’s so fun, smart and hilarious! Great content♥️

[@yungcuhdaffi1502]

Take all the Genres we created bacc, plus understand hip hop can cross breed genres. Fucc going into the Genre Create Country Hop or some shit 😂😂

[@bruceleeds7988]

But the difference with Pink is that she got signed to LAFace, and it was the LABEL'S decision to write Pink an RnB Album, not Pink herself. Once Pink had leverage, she professed she had no creative control whatsoever, and that's when she found her own writers and producers. She was very upfront that the first album was her fakin' da funk.

[@KAM-rl6tz]

I remember that. She absolutely said it wasn’t her choice.

[@davidday2373]

The future of Hip Hop : A split into two genres. Noise Rap vs Conscious Rap

[@Nicole1two]

I love y'all ❤💚💜You and cousin Monie killed this🧡💙💚

[@NoirNameless]

The only way to gatekeep is to not listen lol. Ebro was right, any decline you see in hip hop is our fault. Listen to what you want more of, and less of west you don’t want. It’s that simple.

[@Kalitayy]

And people call me racist when I said I'm skeptical and selective about Rap or Hip-Hop adjacent songs/albums made by non-Black artists and/or those outside the US. I only listen to the authentic ones.

[@NoirNameless]

@@Kalitayyyeah. Ignore them lol. You don’t have to be ok with another Post Malone just because they are 😂😂

[@glitterandchai9921]

I watch this video twice! I love y’all together. This was a great conversation. Curtis, I only became a DIYer two weeks ago but wow, I’m impressed. Love your takes.

[@LoveSonayon]

loving the Curtiss x Monie combo!

[@michellewilliams5533]

Amazing conversation 👌🏿

[@christhebonnetmann6]

I love theses collabs

[@carlaturner5333]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@kennyfleming3007]

He stole that from Brent Fyiaz

[@NormaRice-mf6bv]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@carlaturner5333]

I wish Wakanda and Zumunda were real 😩

[@FatLady-u9l]

Why isn’t Rapsody never mentioned in these conversations? She cannot be overlooked or slept on

[@mt5x7]

It is Ebro’s fault. I agree

[@davidday2373]

A fruity Canadian got the pass... the rest is history.

[@pennetratemedia2012]

Big fan brother. Love Monie. I just wanted to say the Million Dollar Baby has a Curris Mayfield / Dungeon Family feel.in terms of the music and production. The first time ai heard it sounded like someone copying the Dungeon Family sound. What are your thoughts?

[@KAM-rl6tz]

I am 53 years old. Call me a hater. I don’t care. I hate the toxic elements! I believe in gatekeeping.

[@theheeze]

He sounds like Michael McDonald if you think about it

[@Quandryification]

I fully understand concerning the polish protecting their country and culture. But you're talking about trying to gate keep a culture that was created inside of a country and culture that has been picked apart and stolen, while we ourselves have sold out (not me. F 'em).

[@0uas]

I mean I am not a big p!nk fan for that

[@JackiePearson-rx6jq]

The black people were jumping all over this dude record as if he were like them when a person show you who they are people believe them 🤔

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

38:12 he's racist...that's called nationalism No thanks

[@dr.keyanahnurse7940]

Yeah....should not have included that video. It's giving support of an ethno-state lol 😬😬😬😬

[@alwaysm.i.a10]

It's the year of truth and he couldn't help but tell us the truth. Good riddance. We need to give our own their flowers any damn way. There's artists out the that make "Million Dollar Baby" tracks all the time and we don't ensure that their songs become as big of a hit. I saw someone mention Brent Faiyaz and he's just one I can think of right now that has that same sound. And sings better!

[@DonovanJamesOfficial]

He signed Tommy richman

[@alwaysm.i.a10]

@DonovanJamesOfficial Oh really? I didn't know that! That makes sense why he sounds similar. Maybe he should have gone with someone that's not hip-hop then.

[@tumanieverett1719]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎤🎧🎛📽 sharp hilarious and inciteful 🫡
