MY EXPERT OPINION EP

[@kellyhurley741]

I’m a prime example of staying down till the come up. I came home to absolutely nothing! My mother passed while I was incarcerated & when I came out there was nothing waiting for me. I still had 3 years of probation to go into but I chose to do what got me in there in the first place. I just didn’t go as hard. Literally, 2 months before I was set for release from probation I caught a case. My PO stemmed from CT but I was living in NY, & they were dying to violate me & send me to max out. My P.O. caught a liking to me & basically refused to violate me. She stalled them & managed to get me released with no problems. Due to the pandemic the courts weren’t killing niggaz unless you committed a violent crime. They basically gave me a slap on the wrist & sent me on my way. I took that as a sign from the universe, left NY, left the game, left my past life behind. Today I have a job, a home, a car, my wife, & I’m on my way to greater things (god willin). Take the signs. Take the hints that life/ the universe is going to give you. & don’t be scared to be behind a bit. Some times being behind is to avoid what’s coming to those ahead of you. Never play catch-up & move at your own pace. May god bless you all & stay strong 💪🏽💯‼️

Maino is always a great interview, but this might be his best interview ever. Definitely one of the best interviews I've seen on Expert Opinion. Math Hoffa is in a zone. His supporting cast need to stay for each episode going forward. Maino's story is very inspirational and unique. He's very smart and strategic which is why he's accomplished so much since being home.

[@universalproductionsllc8304]

What did he accomplish? Platinum records?

[@KD_SWAGGER]

[@corporatemaq]

Math really knows how to get the guest to open up. He paid attention to every detail and have them go in depth. Not bad at all.

[@cantynathan]

I think liquor might also play apart

[@cfranklinnow]

Can’t say for anyone else but for me this was very inspirational. His honesty rings through and I identified with his story. This should be viewed by others needing that extra push to keep going. Bless

[@GOD_DARRYL]

Great conversation . Props to MAINO being vulnerable and telling his story

[@NONOTEVERSACHE]

Damn the homie really articulated his story respectably, and introspectively. NA ROC!!! We here💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@TonyGallo203]

this is easily my favorite podcast period I find myself searching for the new drink champs only after I check for the new my expert opinion episode. giving us the feel of having barbershop conversations but in the luxury of our own home is nothing short of genius.

[@TonyGallo203]

@TEXT±𝟷𝟺𝟷𝟿𝟿𝟽𝟸𝟷𝟸𝟽𝟻if I can make 1 suggestion, I would ask that you try to get Azie Faison as a guest. I've seen him interviewed on other platforms and enjoy his story, but I feel like on your platform and with your untraditional way of working questions into conversations organically it would be an amazing episode #Salute once again

[@peterking5537]

Great comment. My favourite podcast absolutely.

[@TheNewWaveTimes]

I grew up near that barbershop it’s crazy to see how big this podcast is getting

[@BugsyVeezul]

Very honest interview….One of the best ones. Maino gave a perspective that the world need to see but importantly the young street dudes need to see

I love Maino, definitely proud of his accomplishments.

[@TheNURDIIN]

I believe that Manio had a divine intervention. Personally, back in the day Manio was not a person I've gravitated to in a personally way. I will say Manio hard. I respect the game that comes from a brother like him. His story sound like he never had a powerful male presence in his life...that can do something to young black boy transitioning into man. I also want to say to Manio, you found the torch. The light of that torch will remain burning as long as you continue going down those dark paths. Because you come from that era, hard realistic encounters your commandments reach a whole entire group of fans. You know your worth now. keep'em coming. you've created longevity. stay in Power my brotha!

[@tymoney252]

That’s what I love most about the show. The convo can go in 20 different directions and he’ll find a way to bring everything full circle. Mec hynaken and esso deserve some credit too 💯💯

Facts he just gotta stop trying to finish the last word of some sentences

[@mamalenwood]

Shout out to Maino for always keeping it a buck!! Very inspirational interview! I respect it 100%

[@TyKellyDev]

This interview is why this is the greatest hip hop podcast period. Hit me on so many levels. That survivor's guilt runs so deep when you make it out. The depression that you fight and hide while trying to make it out. Shoutout to the vulnerability here, real man shit. Shoutout to Math for creating this platform.

@@shakemohammed1410 that's true but when u spent 10+ years locked up during his youth, that's all he had to talk about and all the shit prior to the jail bids...was all criminal shit that he can't speak on, so honestly, what else could he talk about ?

[@shakemohammed1410]

@@BullDawgz That Rhetoric hes Spewing is Dangerous to the youth...

[@BullDawgz]

I get it, he shouldn't glamorize it but again that's his whole image, he found himself in jail but honestly, when Maino got on the scene, the youth he reached back then can't compare to the youth now, they could give two shits, he ain't the hottest in music right now, gotta direct that attention to all the "Lil" rappers

[@KORNABLOCK]

@15:50 I feel him about the guys coming home who went in as kids. I pray for all the homies depressed and stressed and think they can't catch up because social media is showing the baddies and dudes in the big flashy cars. Take your time and with enough fight, you will get there. But pleaaaase do not commit another crime for the easy route and lose your life sitting in a cell. You are young enough and still alive to change. But you are not young enough to do another 15-30 in the bing. I was one myself who made it. Thank god

[@ariariKy]

Hoffa has to learn how to stop stepping on EVERYBODY else questions with his own .

[@shenitathompson7493]

Amazing. He needs to rewatch this. He said a lot about the way he was thinking along his journey. The way he was thinking is the reason "why me". He thought his way out of a lot wickedness and those thoughts ordered his steps. He should write a book and lecture to give hope and allow others to see their way out.

G.‘s from my area and they linked us together and Mainos cousin was spooked out because Maino and I resemble one another a lot!!! I’m a fan so no I didn’t believe him but then he pulled out the pictures and I saw him and Maino in the hallway in Brooklyn and I was like whoa!!!

Drill is about the doubling up of the beat and hitting it with verbal cadence and/or dance. Im from the midwest, Chicago & Twin-Cities. Drill teams were a big part of some of my friends’ lives. A sergeant leads similar to an army brigade… Drill Rap comes from that. The content of these rapper’s songs is sad but we arent killing Drill. Ever. We actually need more drill teams and to make it popular to dance again. Thats why I can appreciate the music.
