[@bokardithetaomicron4932]

Brother Kweli: Your swag translates to both coasts in an authentic way that is difficult for New Yorkers, particularly Brooklyn kids, to pull off. I'm 54, (I have to remind my 18 year old nephew: my generation ushered in rap, so I'lll be hip hop till I die), from the South, and no hate in my game; we all loved and tried to emulate NYC, and for me, Brooklyn talent was hands down the mo'fing best. Keep up the good work.

[@DreCloud]

Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I came up on Mc Eiht, so it's nice to see him still doing his thing.

[@dogsandyoga1743]

I remember seeing Eiht in the Wu Can It Be video. Even though the so-called "East/West" thing hadn't jumped off yet, that was still a bit of an rarity in 93...I thought it was dope...

I love these kind of interviews because never in a million years did I ever think my heroes in hip hop would be treated serious as I took them let alone an interview. I’m glad I’m able to witness the history of how rap has changed into a certified genre and taken seriously .i don’t know about today’s rap but my 80’s & 90’s had it on lock 🔒!

When he mentioned being in the Wu Tang video I had to pause this and go see for myself. Somehow I never noticed his cameo! And how appropriate that he comes out on camera when they say "dedicated to niggas who do drive-bys".

Yo classic mc Ehit. Growing up in the hood remix all time cut play every year since it dropped. The hood took me under. Straight up menace. One time gaffeling up. Dead man tells no lies def wish music to drive by classic. This is why i barely give up and coming g- rap artistes a shot. They shit sound foo compare to my dawg and spice 1. Eihts earlier beats and narrative skills are unmatched. This is the man plus he a intelligent family man. Much props. You new dudes can not top this mans quality of work nor Face Cube Too Short or Spice 1. Niggas subject matter dont move me like Ehits music back then and he wasnt yelling crip this crip that. This my uncle i will always have

[@space_dogg]

Drive by Miss Daisy is an underrated track. The beat is dark as fuck, the cadence is dark as fuck, the subject matter is dark as fuck, the scratches are great. Then they have a live piano player doing the hook over a sample beat playing his ass off which sounds crazy aswell

[@anthonymcmillan8273]

Got the "Menace 2 society" DVD to watch. Everyone who was involved in the film did a phenomenal job including Charles S. Dutton as "Mr Butler (the teacher)! I was looking forward for the "Warzone" group album to come together but "situations" got in the way👎😒!! I enjoyed the "Wich way iz west" album from him. Particularly the songs with Blaqpoet, Freddie 🦊 and Lady or rage✊👍! It still sucks that you can't please everyone when people grew up with your music because like 8 said some of his music made people help them get through difficult times. Imagine if 2pac was to be Sharif in Menace...who knows how greater the movie can be. Vonte did his part Justice though! A really great interview. Rip Pac and John Singleton!!

Touching on his production. No one was using the samples he was using. Billy Cobham, Anita Baker, Lee Dorsey. Gave CMW a completely different sound than what NWA and others were doing at the time
