Canada's Swollen Members Talk Deportation, Drake's Success, & the Battleaxe Warriors Movement

[@maulumm]

I love sway... i love that he puts in his own personal stories for the celebs to feel comfy and what not.. sway is the ish

[@JahRandom]

Fucking *_LOVE_* these 3. No exaggeration: Swollen changed my life and made me into the person I am today. Can't thank or appreciate these brothers enough, truly.

[@deew6405]

You are the person you are today because of a rap group?? Hope you have some other shit going on in your life.

[@WisdomIsPrecious]

Madchild is a legendary rapper. Now his sound is kind of repetitive but I still like listening to him. And Prevail is a really poetic and interesting writer. I still listen to everything they put out, but I especially like how distinct their sound was to me back in their heyday, when I was a teenager in my parents basement.

[@TJK775]

haha MadChil's headphone cord drove me crazy watching this video... anyone else?

[@playingmusiconmars]

Swollen Members are legendary. They, Dilated and Aceyalone made me get into Rap music back in the day, I was always a rock guy before. Thanks for that and for being true to yourselves. And I also find it funny how articulate and cool they seem compared to fools like Kanye. Real Mc's and real music.

[@KennyLunacy]

Yeah, until Snak killed him years ago.

[@BedroomBeethovens]

So a group called THE FAT DICKS got you into rap. cool.

[@MB0704]

@@BedroomBeethovens least they got dicks, more than fools like Snak and Drake

[@irritablysavvy]

The guest's headphone cord is tangled in every video. Step your game up Sway! lol

[@WantTheSmoke]

Madchilds a rap god. One of the truest.

[@wikedfierce1279]

this is sick i'm glad madchild's on representing vancity

[@omgwtfhax]

Great to see you guys on Sway.

[@IamSirKingsley12]

Been on this Swollen Member shit for 15 years bruh! These guys have put in woooork! Vets in the games!

[@telepathy90]

dope to see them on sway. keep it going.

[@wiccanpixel3711]

Great too see these guys on here! So much raw talent

[@conkpit]

Madchild is real. Like to see him get together with Busta, Meth, Eminim, and RZA doin the beats.

[@Mikey_Darko]

Sway got such a high hip hop IQ

[@EXPLISITemcee]

Mikey B yes he does...

[@tinabibber899]

Mikey B that's his job. Jonie at McDonald's knows all about the big Mac.

[@seanbarker5805]

Heavy's one of the best hip hop albums ever. These guys deserve more props. Good $#it Sway.

[@mistersylliboy2690]

Madchild,mad respect for you, and all the BS you went through. Swollen Members came onto the scene in 97? In Canada. I loved the beats,"bring it home" I think was the track name, deadly bars on it,then the collab with Nelly Furtado(a beautiful Portuguese Canadian with some deadly work,"I'm like a bird",alot of hits). Loved the early stuff!

[@remember6626]

Swollen Members are hell of a lot better than Drake, and I'm not a Swollen Members fan. I think the only reason Drake is spoken so highly of is because he's in the Pop scene. That's my opinion. I'm not arguing with anybody.

[@vancitiot]

Nice!!!! Good to see the boys back on there grind

[@Metatron141]

I was there 1995 Club7 Alexander Gastown Vancouver when I seen Swollen for the first time rock the house with like 200 people in the joint. Swollen are the best. No one can touch them.

[@survivingthepettys6670]

Swollen members were everywhere in the late 90's early 00's, miss those days.

[@mikerushton5827]

Fuck ya glad you guys got on the show, and glad that Sway actually knows his shit and history!

[@marcusthompson403]

Have you ever thought of getting Classified on the show? That shit would be tight, he is a Canadian rapper from Nova Scotia, been rapping since 1995, and he is a fucking beast!

[@devonjohnson1238]

Classifieds early shit was dope as fuck but his new shit is weak

[@HiddenSoulsMusic]

Balance is one of my favorite albums!

[@nathaniellowry3861]

One of the most incredible albums made! 🔥👌

[@angelika_munkastrap4634]

Awesome interview xx

[@1Mafaka]

How would you like to be on a show and the first thing Sway mentions is Drake!? Give your guest some credit before you delve into someone else's career! Battle Axe Warriors Underground I love to make the thunder pound ~

[@RehabNowSouthAfrica]

Propss to Madchild. Inspirational and evil on mic

[@TheyWantUSilent]

It seems everyone gets hyped on Madchild, but Prevail seems underrated as far as each of them individually. Honestly, I prefer Prevail... I love them together though!

[@JahRandom]

It's hard to say...I think I like them equally, but either way Prev is for _sure_ underrated. No doubt.

[@MrSky10101]

Great interview.

[@CryptoCrimZn]

Salute ta the fam axes up. Swollen members dope af. Madchild dope af. Salute and axes all the way up. Also rob the viking beats are beastly... Respect... Ya baxwarglobal bro CrimZn

[@aspectinc]

Classified, swollen members are underrated world wide

[@Canzary]

Dude never came back for his freestyle. Madchild pls i need it

[@KingSmerk209]

Swollen on sway! FUCK YEAH

[@aamandabeauty1288]

My ex is from new Mexico introduced mytexas ass to swollen 7 years ago changed my opinion on rap and music these guys are great and I have been very very curious on their opinion on Drake ... thanks sway! Xoxo

i cant beleive Madchild is a drake fan.. i just cant.. MADCHILD you are by far 1000000 times better than drake.. well its my opinion..i listen to your music all day.. im glad our back in the USA.. i hope you come somewhere in texas..thats as close as i can get im from mexico..you guys are the best...

[@infam0usP]

Jaylee de la O he ain't tryna get blackballed. Drake ain't no gangsta but he's tied to enough labels stateside that he could sabotage Madchild's attempts at becoming a bigger rapper in the states

[@commonknowledge8739]

Jaylee de la O fuck yes he needs to do a show here in texas

[@BasedCarbon]

Yo Sway!!! Namaste.

[@paulvece3714]

These guys are the shit, but I feel bad for Prev in this interview. It's like he's spending the entire interview looking super concerned worrying about his buddy and hoping he didn't just fall off the wagon. Heard Madchild is doing good now though, hope we can something new from them soon!

[@tylerdelaire8634]

Hi madchild swollen members

[@RealtimeReviews613]

CANADA STAND UP!!! We got mad rappers up here! Check out CLASSIFIED on youtube. Hes a dope mc that needs to break into the usa

[@tylerdelaire2827]

Hi swollen members madchild

[@Davephatbuds]

1:00 : The great Drake? Seriously?

[@voteZDLR]

Drake is treated differently in Canada, by Canadians. To be clear Drake isn't a bad MC, you'd never know it though because he became relegated to like almost Nate Dogg status as far as being able to feature for like everyone and being that highly sought after. He's more known for singing almost, but really he can spit and he also has ghost written for TONS of artists in that capacity.

[@cj-qt6mj]

More like the overrated...drake

[@andilexd]

Question : Buc Fifty ,Is he still signed to Battleaxe warriors ?

[@caymenheather1218]

Andile Xayiya nope

[@hardroadtotravelon1733]

I saw these boys opening for gob back in the day. Security dragged me out cuz they said I mashed too hard. How theos hands so big tho? Then the first time I even been in van city first dude I ever met was prev and while I'm asking him where to get some weed someone come up shaking my hand bout it's great to meet me cuz I had the long blonde hair and was standing with prev so he must of thought I was mad. Prev told me go to Granville st then clearly blazed up in some caravan with his boys.. dude should have hooked me up. Later I cut up some weed on Neil pearts floor tom and met Theo from gob. I love Vancouver and I love sm.

[@benkatz0]

Shoutout CANUCKS baby!!!

[@rorysanchez1318]

ill second Trickzonafixed612 people sleep on madchild but ill go a bit further and say people be sleeping on swollen members...they have been keeping it REAL their whole career thats why they have such a huge underground following...

[@EXPLISITemcee]

No mention of Snak?

[@SERVISONE]

And no mention of Moka Only! Shit Moka Only and Prevail were the original Swollen Members, then came Mad Child!

[@sammsoss]

hes about as sober as a needle in the arm..........

[@ftw185th8]

right he a fraud in that way..some of his music aight

[@lgino87]

Im guessing adderoll... So he can say hes still clean . lmao.

[@grizzlyarbuckle4644]

he is coked out or spun, he is wearing glasses, he throws his hands in a way all too familiar, my guess is he got smacked back and tried to counter it with uppers.

[@colinharnack4033]

Hate him or love him, y'all still praising him in the eyes of anybody in any Media marketing or observers' perspective!! ☮️ 💓 ;)

[@davidgee6452]

sway should interview bucfifty..

[@goldcrowncheifbroncogang7579]

Need to see a Swollen Members and Porn Theatre Ushers collab album!

[@sebu187]

Madchild's obviously suffering from some kind of withdrawal or just social anxiety :/ btw not a single word about Moka Only? What is this?!

[@DaNeShady90]

Have listened to them for a while now but haven't figured out what Rob's place is in the group. He does the beats or what? Poor guy, never in the spotlight lol

[@StavieThang89]

Rob produces the beats and dj's for the shows

[@DaNeShady90]

Steven Thang I see, thanks for the info. He should get more fame cuz the beats are what makes most of the songs

[@theimageisscary]

DaneShady "giving sight to the blind, the dumb are mostly intrigued by the drum"

[@knightmaremystery1553]

Rob is a fucking G homie his family got Biker ties w/ sum real deadly MFer's from Rural areas in Canada! He is the most underrated beatmaker/producer ever! Son is madd nasty on them beats

[@Tucker1Nonly]

after being deported..they dont just ''let you back in''..you have to wait 5years then file a waiver and 1 other form(cant remember what is called) and there just under 1000 dollars total to file it and takes a year...thats after being in a I.C.E.(immigration jail) this happened to me did 36 days in jaill cost me 7000 dollars to get out got home dec 23(2 day b4 xmas!) with no charges either you have no rights at a international border (my own experience)

[@hardroadtotravelon1733]

Madchild caring that drake likes his music is so backwards. I remember 2005 too hot and city and mine were both on flow. Also homeboy needs to strop flexin on a 22. Get a centrefire or chill.
