Anyone else find this a bit sad? Megaman is a talented MC, Producer, artist whos been in the game for a long time now, and all they ask him is buillshit like "How much did your chain cost? How big is your house? How many cars you got? .... Painful to watch
+ffsear12 Yea but that's what the fans want to hear
ivanduvok I don't think so, Which is why NFTR don't have very many subscribers to their channel. Considering the calibre artists they manage to get on here you'd expect their numbers to be a lot higher,
ffsear12 Their lack of subscribers is due to the marketing as opposed to content (which I think is very good). The average fan is a dumb ass going for buzz bait and sensationalism. This is why NFTR tried a thirst trap ploy with the Dominican ting Rosa Acosta, hoping to draw in some of her 1.1 million instagram dry mout fan base.
+ffsear12 true maybe they are looking for that clear channel money. if i wanted to find out what a chain or car cost i have the internet.
mrndlprsnr the internet wouldn't tell you
Yoo this is legendary interview
***** mug
***** LoooooooL
Mega had Posty on the spot when he asked him to name someone now who's been signed for £100K - £250K 😭😭😭👏🏼👏🏼
When I hear Mega say "nah I'm not a millionaire" & smirking like that, all I think of is Money Mitch: "I'm broke baby.."
If you know, you know
Stefan J loooool 😁
No way is he a millionaire. The so solid days didn't make that much money, The record companies made the millions.Not them, and plus there was too many members for them to become millionaires. He even called the radio station that he's on now to go on. Sorry but he's probably barely a thousandaire!!! The fuck outta here
You couldn't be more wrong, dig a little and see what all his companies are doing now. I encourage you to research on any topic before speaking up.
@@gavincampbell9513 my bro... these guys bought houses in 2001.. u hav no idea what profit their portfolios amassed.... AC Burrell was one of the first to buy a 3 bed house and sell for large profits before their second album was even dun.... u kids hav no idea... lol
Gavin Campbell 🧐
Best interview I've seen this year
Mega is so right what he's saying about labels. Labels aren't gonna sign you for your talent, there are a million talented artists out there, they want to see the person make money on there own first and then come in and take their slice.
Labels are just capital gains now.
best interview ive seen in a while
I loved this Interview. Real talking and Inspiration. Blessings
this is a great channel thank you
These interviews are quality - u man aint scared to ask shit other people are too afraid of, and u push for answers! quality!
This is gonna go down as a classic interview in terms of the business of the UK urban industry... Was wideranging, interesting and struck me as very honest👌
When you hear "break it down" you already know its gonna be live!
Lot of history dropped. The Aiya Napa stuff was interesting - would love to hear a copy of the HLC vs So Solid clash now. Interesting to hear about the North/South stuff, the Buckhead/Wes/Spray story. The 'Junction' ting. One thing they should have touched on is the reasons why So Solid didn't 'take the risk' and do Grime. Seems they were trying to clean up their image and do the flossed out bling thing, but the fans wanted the real - as Boy In Da Corner proved. Aiya Napa was the beginning and end of So Solid and the rise of Grime, those that know, know this.
James Riskoe I've said the same before, but they were happy to run with the 'garage' name - and didn't really integrate with the 'grime' ting which was mainly an East London thing to start with. It was competition. 2001/02 was the 'crew' era and Mega felt he had his own 'lane'. He defo didn't anticipate Wiley and Dizzee's rise - listen to the Dizzee/Asher clash on Commander B's show. I don't know about any Eskimo dance clashes.
+TOITN Makes perfect sense tbf not wanting to run with the grime name, if the main thing the man was interested in was money then he knew what to stay away from as many artists have said grime doesn't pay
Mo Fomi Tell Wiley and Dizzee that grime don't pay... we speaking the exact same era. He didn't go grime or evolve the sound cah he was only ever looking to the US and what the crews like Diddy, rocnation etc was doing... and he beefed Dizz and Wiley so didn't wanna look wet by jumping on their thing. Napa was beginning of the end of the top for them man... Look now, Wiley and them man done the things, won the war.
Never Not Killing It Ye but my point was back in that day it all made sense, like now he knows to work with them but you might've been considered a fool for looking to WIley and Dizz when they weren't established yet. And either way my point still stands grime even today doesnt pay that well man, strictly in terms of the two genres and UK alone you're probably making more touring as a rapper in the UK rather than a grime artist
Mo Fomi Mega made money cah he was a business man first, ain't about nothing else at the end of the day... If he wanted SSC to stay at the top longer than they did... He shoulda made better moves, that's down to him.
great interview, loving the channel and all the insights. I love the length of the interviews. Long enough to get a true idea of what was going on in the industry. Camron et al have gone down a bit in my estimations. I also watched the SAS interview where they had similar things to say. But understand how some America acts treat UK fans. I have wasted money at some shows back in the day then stopped buying their music. A certain rapper from the US forgot his lines and kept saying ive got 5 albums.
Best interview I've seen in a while. I be watching all sorts of breakfast club interviews on american artists I've never heard of just to pass time. Good to have some quality UK that is so relevant to us.
This is why I said Ebro had 21 seconds. Just seen this for first time today before the messy debate from the American station.
So solid were called that for a reason.
Ebro would NOT BE able to keep up with Megaman.
Fluffy York Ebro and Rosenberg ruined Hot 97
ben1349 woe. What is your opinion on that? I have seen some recent interviews and they are even worse.
Fluffy York Ebro and Rosenberg voice opinions that don't resonate with the listeners which is why Hot97 ratings plummeted and why loads of staff jumped ship; K Fox, Angie Martinez etc left to other stations. Morning radio shows are supposed to fun and about music not about old dull men like Ebro and Rosenberg arguing, lecturing and boring the listeners. Hence Power 105 has regularly beaten Hot97 in ratings for years across numerous timeslots.
ben1349 Right thanks for that. Makes sense. I have no where been listening to them as long as you. But when I do I hear them imply.... It's my way or the highway. Their style of interviewing is overbearing. Thanks for explaining your thoughts on them.
Best NFTR interview yet. Very interesting and insightful words about the business side of the industry from a true UK pioneer
Amazing interview can't wait for the day you guys get Marcus Nasty or Wiley or even DJ Target on the show!
the amount of ppl in and out the game ive spoken to abt this intrvw and are INSPIRED and also are taken bak to wen we were 20 yr old hungry creatives is a great example of how this guy was meant to do what he did....weve debated and re stratergised bcos of this intrvw....most imprtantly..we are reminded of OUR music/business history..!! #Ledg
When ever I hear from Megaman I learn a lot and get inspired on a whole new level
"Couple" interviews i'd be intrigued to see:-
- Dizzee
- Kano
- c biz
- J spades
- Big chess
- Marcus nasty
-Tempz
- Glyn Aikins
- And couple urban female models obviously
S Kay Why Cbiz? I dont think his interview would be interesting, he wont have much to say.
Gass He's a cool funny guy. also to get an insight on his come up and what hes been thru. His background. How much he's made. what cars he's had. How much hes spent on jewelry. Artist he dont like. court charges. all kinds of stuff.
S Kay
I dont think hes gonna sit there and admit hes made x amount of money from drugs...Or go too in depth of what hes been charged with.
Hes still on the roads, makes 0 sense for him. Not like hes gone legal.
Gass lol thats the whole point of a interview. to get insight and clarification. I'm not from NW. I dont kno much bout him apart from couple bits here n there. No one said talk bout drugs. no one said go in depth bout charges. you're a bored guy, go find suttin else to do
S Kay
Bored? You just said ask him how much money hes made LOOL. Insight and clarification? That sounds like you wanna know where he made the money lool.
Guy said Im bored cuz I questioned him lool
Cbiz interview would be boring but thats just me If you wanna hear him cool I was curious as to why.
Dope interview.
Don't know how I stumbled on this but it was a very engaging interview.
this guy reminds me of 50 cent, he's so business minded and intelligent, knows how to make money, a real business man
the Jam Master Jay of Grime!
Took 50% of all so solids earnings lol skull duggery
@@AkyovNorthWest grime?
Now this is an interview and a half!
great interview
From when the breh joked about being the breakfast club as the introduction SMH
WE WANT A NEW SO SOLID ALBUM, interview was mega inspiring
all the interviews have been sick! skeppy next?
I like how Megaman always sees the positives in all the situations he's been in
The business lessons and Mega talking about being empowered made this video for me.
Inspiring to say the least.
I love this channel, keep it up
Megaman would buss any case. Media training at its finest.
Wicked interview, as someone mentioned below some names, them interviews would be great, personally - old skool-kano, dizzee, sway and lethal bizzle
they literally have to get marcus nasty on this
Good interview
Dope! Real legend!
That brudda next to mega needs to shut his mouth sometimes and let the artist speak instead of cutting em off all the time. Needs to work on his interviewing skills
I was just about to say the same thing. I don't care about him I'm here for the artist
+FukcKKKBNP init, and stop asking how much money he made!!
bro I promise I was yelling at my mobile over that... crazy..lol
Thank u
From young mum's life megaman and wiley have been the only 2 in this whole thing has keep me support from time 1 billion percent roll deep Wiley and so solid crew megaman billion percent best 2 there was is and ever will be to all of those my long time GSthank you for all you done for me musically and inspirationally one pllove💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
What interview
This man always 3 moves ahead the game 🧠if only I could of watch this interview in my teenage days .this as aspired me today in my 40’s
This is stuff we needed to get taught as school 🏫 this is what you call business study’s
The face when he asks "Remember teletext" haha (51m58s)
Mega is cool, I was a proper fan of SS from 11 yrs old up to 13. Sometimes I still bang them old school garage sounds.
Mega is actually a real guy.. hes the definition of a real hustler 💯
Finally a suitable platform for UK! loved this interview
Interview Harvey 4 the breakdown of Alesha & Javine, Asher D (grange hill, breakdown on the u.k film industry from a business aspect, starring in 50 cent film etc) be good watch
I wasn't a fan of So Solid but I always respected this dude from how he moved. Very interesting interview.
Very good interview. Mainly due to how good a speaker mega is. Wasn't feeling the interviewing techniques.
Random observation: Vis has an uncle type hair texture too.
Erm so why am I cracking up at "uncle type hair texture" lmaoo that was a lot more funnier than it should be! Thanks for the smile today, I needed that!
I really want a RED BULL
Mega : "the chain was 18 carat gold, everything we had was 18 carat gold"
Chick : "how many carats?"
Oh my days **facepalm**
+supahdupahguy81 she was asking how many carats of diamonds on the pendant.
Na na you misunderstood....mega brought his pet rabbit into the studio she just happened to ask ast same time about the gold
There needs to be a NFTR interview with K Koke can you imagine what stuff he'd talk about be a madness he wouldn't hold back at all!!!
Mega, I want you to release another so solid album...cheers. thanks
Good interview - I feel as if you had a proper one on one with mega you would learn alot business wise,willing if you were serious about it, tho he may not tell you all the secrets but enough for you to get the confidence to start thinking positive about a future business #Salute
This was needed. Get Wiley, Jaja Soze, Fonti + Bushkin, Skepta or Young Spray for this next.
SoSolid was such a major part in my early childhood days, this was refreshing and informative. Well done Posty and the team for producing this, as a videographer and avid entrepreneur its true that the people ahead of you pave the way for your own success
I will never grow tired of watching this. Mega is a genuis for the way he handles business
Megaman is a legend, the So Solid movement was so ground breaking
I'm only 20 so these guys where doing this when I was a kid but one thing I always understood about mega man.. He was always behind the scenes but making the most money off any movement to do with so solid.
NFTR smashing the interviews, so interesting
Same thing Don King said, he was the first promoter to give boxers millions and after most of them were getting a big cheque
Full of it! I feel like i can't believe a word he's saying even if some of it is true lol
Dan Rafta Shows the small mentality you have, you are boxed in my friend. Nothing is impossible you make it seem unbelievable because you believe there's a limit when there's not
40:26 "the doolux abum" ya nuh lol
lol at 1min05 Megaman breaking down the Cheats & Thieves concept went deep but totally over the headz of these guyz!
Like the way you conducted yourself 👍🏽
A So Solid Movie would be sick!
Megaman is the man, real stories!
Big up Mega
let your guests finish off answering questions before you jump in with another
I will soon put up some old skool so solid Sundays 103 what i used to tape every Sundays
Master P of UK Music!
yo I aint gonna lie I used to hate on uk tings but this some interesting shit, keep this up guys
He's actually such a smart guy I get him man knows and it shows
We need a Giggs interview
So Solid Discography
2001: They Don't Know
2003: 2nd Verse
2013: Greatest Hits
I was a big fan back in the day, not just SS, PAYG, Heartless...there were bare others. But c'mon man. 13 years have passed since '03 and Wiley, fair game, won the battle. Grime won coz it was more accessible. Man wanna sip Henessey in the club and suit up for a moment on an American vibe acting like life is all VIP...cool. But that day is done fam.
So Solid have been So 'inactive' that they aren't even relevant in the game. Mega has stories to tell, talks a good business talk, but really....show us the music cuz. 'Since you went away' was cringe worthy. I wish it wasn't.....I'd hoped for something sick....but it was your typical 'we're So Solid and we are Soooo Solid on America's dick'
Pathetic.
theses lot love pocket watching man
Love mega's mentality, business sense and persona
Mega is a really intelligent bruddah, dropping loads of gems it’s just a shame that NFTR couldn’t get passed asking superficial and basic questions
Is that Inch from PDC in the background?
dude seem genuine for real, not all bad men have to act like it.... but get it done... I been had luv for the Uk before french throwing them london boys on his coke wave mixtapes....
respect
Shout out dj soops, dj Raphael.... real neo soul from the u.k.....
message deleted
+CrackerHonky tell him, don't tell me....
+CrackerHonky and yr a grass...dont fkn look at me you filth
megaman is a handsome man.
Just watching this now, but as many has already said, when you've got this caliber of artist on the show you need to let them speak and drop knowledge, obviously you have your questions you want to get across, but give then the space to answer the fully
Also it's mad that he was saying these things about Section boyz and now their bringing out Drake lol
big up glenn!
Big up NFTR, Big up Mega #Legend
Get Big Narstie on this #BASE
Id like to see a Mike GLC interview
There's is 1
He speaks so much business sense.
U can hear the slight differences in the accents from different areas
Sol solid were only sick in the days of 103 delight fm handsdown!
Also just a note Mega, a football pitch is around 1.7 acres not 3. so your land is twice as big as you think.
The way Vis started that looool. They're too real!
You have to get wiley, manga or someone from roll deep on here to discuss that situation
I knew buckhead and the aya nappa incident....a Rolex went missing.....
Lool 47:50 vis is thinking 'NIGGA, just answer the bloodclart question'
Posty needs to ask better questions. All he asks is who's the best at this and that. Step your game up an man might answer your question 😂😂
Mega is to real!
yo vis wot kind of hair is that fam
Love what these guys are doing but again Posty's whole persona isnt really built for this. He says he doesnt chat about other people money, yet his always askin chatty patty questions...Megaman. legend.
I felt the same. It's like they love pocket watching i watched the lethal bizzle one it was the same. Pure trying to get him to admit he is a millionaire.
I think posty an the girl are a bit mentally strained
this makes me think he should do business lectures for school kids up to unis if he ain't already
These interviews are good! but these interviewers annoyingly don't let the guest speak without asking a question as they go along 😑
Your right. I'm from North London and that's what alot of these uneducated people from the endz communicate. Also lived in south so I get the whole north & south London ting. big up.
they need to write down either what questions they want to ask or they need a real structure for the conversation because the majority of the interviews are full of clarifications, dumb unfunny jokes and talking in an unintelligent manner about the history of Black Music in the UK. At least hire a researcher or have a laptop or tablet on the desk or something. Very tabloid in there approach. I do not enjoy wasting 1 hour of my time listening to middle-class 'wannabe ghetto youts' on my brand new phone. Visit is ok but he needs to fire the other two or get me up in there and rotate the interviewers who actually know there history or can ask questions without comming across like they're disrespecting the interviewees.
MEGAMAN "You know what I mean"
Mega a very clever man. Big up!!!
All this time they were talking about Christina Millian not agulera. Lmao
SO solid GOAT
