Never in my LIFE did I think I’d see Open Mike Eagle on No Jumper. This is one of the greatest moments I’ve ever experienced

[@Slims222]

Who knows, maybe we’ll get that Ugly Mane interview one day…

[@marcodyjohnson6301]

@@Slims222 That'd be sick!

[@jessindeed]

One of the most interesting interviews I've watched on this channel. You can tell both men are for the culture.

[@hansdado]

[@A_Victim]

What a home run of an interview

[@JSellz-cm6bg]

Holy, didn’t expect this one. This is why Lush is the best. OME in the building!! 🔥

[@EightyThor]

I’m not too familiar with Lush, his background etc - but recently I’ve been really liking his discussions and insights.

[@s3nd3r]

Lots of substance and barely any dead air. This was good.

[@pels4tosh]

One of the best interviews I’ve watched on No Jumper

[@santiagobracho5964]

I really loved this interview. A lot.

[@miguelangelthomas5154]

Been a fan of Lush since grind time. It's crazy to see him on No Jumper oike this but his hip hop interviews are TOP tier.

[@zeeseeds8151]

I hope Flacco taking notes. Lush killed it.

[@binobrockin]

Big ups to Lush for this one. Keep up the good work. OME so underrated.

[@trevormichaelchargois7207]

[@TurtleFlowerboi]

Fuck yes! I wanna see Lush with Busdriver, Aesop Rock, Milo Rapsmith and Quelle Chris!

[@danmeyersonVideo]

💯

[@miguelangelthomas5154]

Aesop Rock isn't very good with interviews. His genius is best left to his music.

[@cocoq10]

[@cflpinebox]

I used to listen Open Mike all the time when he was on Harmontown, always thought he had a way of speaking. This was really good conversation and Lush did his thing. Honestly, he could be a recurring guest he’s so good on the mic. Thanks for this one.

[@mostblunted_211]

[@hansdado]

Holy shit you are absolutely right and now i cannot unhear it

[@TuesdaysTurn]

OME 💚

[@hansdado]

lush, interview mr mfn exquire

[@7somekindofsomething]

Lush the future of No Jumper if Adam ever steps off. He’s got the personality but also the brains and hip hop knowledge.

[@radatabass]

Anyone else ever think that Open Mike voice sounds like the Wayne’s brothers?

[@xalamander5502]

mike sound like a sober danny brown

[@plc97pokelordchampion37]

Respect to no jumper for this one

[@FigurativeLanguageTheScience]

He sounds like Royce 5’9

[@seanthadon2321]

Open mike eagle on no jumper random af😂

[@michaeltodd8188]

Really surprised by this. Shout-out lush

[@MrAbraham119]

this is definitely not the platform for this conversation. the attention span and scope of interest of the average viewer of no jumper is too short

[@cocoq10]

I dont usually listen to no jumper but I'm here for this

[@johncarle7807]

Man this got promoted weak style. Shit needs more views

[@AlexanderBeaton6]

Lush was created in a lab. They cloned bootleg kev and tried to pretend he had a whole life before this year

[@bobbytropo2314]

Something so sus about all these positive comments 😂

[@peterchaloner2877]

Can code switch, yet uses adjective good where adverb well is grammatically required. Nul points.

[@sljsvn]

Wtf are you talking about

[@Niacin1]

what is wrong with you

[@miguelangelthomas5154]

Grammar Nazi detected

[@cocoq10]

That's exactly what code switching is bro 🤣 you think Mike doesn't know this basic kindergarten grammar rule?

[@-jaydadon_3701]

Ass bring back flakko

[@MMAPhanatix]

You either trolling or got downs

[@babypinhead7656]
