Folks quit to forget we were getting dope collabs around the clock during the Rawkus days. It was nothing to hear your favorite line up of emcees behind dope production. I'm glad they touched on it though.
I agree cause 1-9-9-9 is still a classic with Sadat x and common and hi tek. It's about learning and growing and teaching properly . Let's bring back common sense amongst mindsets and realness from the heart. Golden times again,
I don't understand why 'The B!tch in Yoo' is not mentioned in "The Greatest Diss Track" argument. Remember, Rasheed was the 1st to merc Aubrey. One of Chi-Towns GODS🎤👑

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.
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

This was the most enjoyable interview I have seen in a while. What is going on right now? ❤ From being a Dollar Borrowing Soul Survivor to filling The Auditorium, Common and Pete Rock got my nose open. #hiphop4life
I NEVER KNEW WHY The WakeUp Show w/ Sway & Tech went off the air (it used to air on 106JAMZ in Chicago) but I remember THE FIRST TIME I saw Sway on MTV and gave the TV a standing ovation 😂😂 it was a LEVEL UP for HipHop ✊🏽💯
Feeling that ometimes we interpret according to our references. However, hip hop always offers opportunities for reflection and understanding of reality. It was a delight moment watching this meeting. 👏👏👏
I thought the line was linking beers (de beers)with the South African diamond trade- Jewels as the uncle's tears. Cry freedom about South Africa. Food in beard wisdom as nourishment.
@@omarromero7571 It was a statement that Common and Pete Rock said in the interview. i guess it becomes q debate if people are in opposition to those terms when describing hiphop. Sway seemed fine with it. Three prominent voices in hiphop world.
Yo bro God bless Common and Pete for what they've been doing for Hip Hop forever now, Love the positive vibes they bring we need more of this in Hip Hop much Love and Respect.
Common, one thing you gift with words have influence and your rhyme (words) lifts the music its something different, deep and thought provoking , well done as always! Big up Peter Rock you dun know your ting different yeh man ..up like 7 !!!!!!!
“There hasn’t been a battle that was That back and forth”… Rocafella vs D-Block. Mixtapes. Radio show takeovers. Songs. Live Concert Freestyles. When Beans remade Put Ya Hands Up… still The Hardest diss freestyle EVER.
He hasn't had a song in decades. Why was he black balled. I met him on an elevator at Justo's Mix-Tape Music awards with Diddy. Diddy was laced with a mink 3/4ers and Pete was butta leather 3/4ers and they both were negative energy
From working with No I.D., J Dilla, DJ Premier, Kanye West, and now Pete Rock. Common truly has led a charmed musical career.
Don't forget Large Professor!!
And Pharrell
I actually really like his albums and projects with Kareem Riggins too!

Legit. One of the greats.
Even my Mama likes Common Sense!!!❤
It ain't where ya from its where u at. He's from Chi and he still should be top 5 anyway.
I say the same thing about Twista and Lupe

Won't happen. Look like they may have reconciled to an extent but CL was ready to beat Pete ass for something personal.
Don't sleep on CL smooth either main ingredient album is my shit

Com' sense and Pete Rock are components of the era of Hip Hop before it became an art form.
Question, wasn't Hip Hop always an artform? It may be more of a hustle now but when did it change and who are the "artist" that changed it?

A Gemini and a Pisces. Word life! The DJ and the Emcee.

Living in Philly, I used to stay up till 2 AM to start recording on my tape.The wake up show always got unreleased goodies
BE is my go to album from Common….I wish we could get another Pete Rock & CL Smooth album too‼️
Her breakdown is so powerful and that's what art is all about.... Perspective
This new pete and common album about to be a classic

Common & pete , Nas & premo in '24

Much love to both of these Titans!
One hundred percent. This melody is just incredible, one of the best ever.
But the most Pete-Rocky beat ever is probably Nothin Lesser with the U.N.
🎤👑🎤👑🎤👑🙏
Can we get a refresher on the question you had all the answers for right? Make it 2024 so we can catch up.
Dude works with Ridley Scott, Christian Bale, Denzel….and still returns to his roots 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
King Sway
Pete Rock one of them ones

Yeah but when's the album dropping, Sway?
These two guys, absolutely legendary, music in 2024 ? It’s a blessing ❤
Can we get a Common,Jay, and Kweli on a Pete Rock track on one of the volumes? Thank you in advance
Exclude Jay..add nas
I’m sure I’m the only jOker Common knows.. So I took that as a shout out! 🤣🤣😎
N all cap no brim, Common got sweat in his cap like he took a swim.
Rasheed had me goin' to the thrift shops and rockin' it! Game peeps game, playa.✌🏽
Ahh, I see whatchu did there! 😁
I thought the line was linking beers (de beers)with the South African diamond trade- Jewels as the uncle's tears. Cry freedom about South Africa. Food in beard wisdom as nourishment.
Why it feel like Com and Pete just pulled on Nas and Preme like "oh yea"...
The Art Form and The Community is better than culture when referring to hiphop. ( Common and Pete Rock both agree 👍🏾 )
Is this a debate now?
@@omarromero7571 It was a statement that Common and Pete Rock said in the interview. i guess it becomes q debate if people are in opposition to those terms when describing hiphop. Sway seemed fine with it. Three prominent voices in hiphop world.
Yo bro God bless Common and Pete for what they've been doing for Hip Hop forever now, Love the positive vibes they bring we need more of this in Hip Hop much Love and Respect.
Ohhh I wanted Heather to rhyme ❤❤ come on 👑
Sway we need his name. It's time to expose the machine.
Yooo! The Gods. This gonna be gooood 🙏🏼🙏🏼
His Book, "One day it will All make Sense" Is a Great Read 😅🎉🎉🎉 💯
Rap/hip hop Black Americas gift to the world. Funk and R&B are the DNA of rap/ hip hop. Salute to the true pioneers from from 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s.
Common, one thing you gift with words have influence and your rhyme (words) lifts the music its something different, deep and thought provoking , well done as always! Big up Peter Rock you dun know your ting different yeh man ..up like 7 !!!!!!!
Wait did they say they gonna tour off this upcoming album?!
Yup yup

Pete Rock and Smoke Dza made a classic. Common and PR is undoubtedly going to be a classic
facts
For them to be motivated to do Vol's they had to be inspired by Nas and HIT
I definitely thought Com was referencing DeBeers with the jewels in his tears line! Crazy 🔥🔥🔥
Way to go SWAY...great interview.❤
"You building a studio with floating floors??" Sway knows the deal...
Ladies and gentlemen....hip-hop. Enjoy.
Love 2 see Pete. Over the years he rarely did interviews. One of My Idols!!!
When him & C. L. SMOOTH gonna get back together ❤❤❤😢😢
I N I Center of Attention 💯
Dope🔥 real hip hop back in real time 🔥
Should’ve been a Nas beat with shan doing that hook. But Pete rock sued Nas so 🤷🏽♂️
Havoc originally produced “The b***h in you”
Huh?! When was this?
Heather B 😅 ✌️ too all the 📞 📲 that never got through
