Her interpretation of them lyrics is why I don't like when people try to force feed my way of thinking. Yes the writer has his meaning. But when it's out in the world. Critical thinkers level them lyrics up. This is why when I'm quoted. I ask whomever why and what's their true understanding of that particular poem/rhyme lyric or statement. She made them think higher. That's building. Judge Wise my people. Peace

On May 3, 2024, Saigon put out an album *_The Jordan Era_* which is actually fire. He and the producer Fredro did an 80s and 90s inspired album. Also on May 3, you had Havoc, Ras Kass and RJ Payne put out their collabo album *_Guttr_* which also deserves more attention. You should bring them on the program to promote their projects.

Super dope interview Sway!! Big salute to Pete Rock and Common for being stand up dudes. Love the new track and I'm excited to hear the collab album. The biggest problem with AI in music is ownership. If I write down my lyrics I have a "natural copywrite", Its not an official document but I still own the rights to the music. If you use an AI for any part of your musical process you don't own that music anymore. The company who made the original AI does. Secondly, are you are lyricist if you have ghost writers? We have to set a standard for certain titles so we can protect the development of Hip Hop culture. I know AI will always be apart of our world but creativity cant be taught because their original thoughts.
