Nore is a humble guy who has a good heart and wants all of his guest to feel comfortable what ever the circumstances.Most respectful guy.Good job Nore.
Nore is a dork he’ definitely GED smart I always feel like dj efn knows more historically about hip hop then nore..and nore is kind of dumb he doesn’t know a lot of shit prime example “belligerent” he didn’t know what it meant and said don’t use fancy words god dam it....

Read some books bro this world is about knowing the more we know the more we grow and hold strength in much-be easy dude
When you look at Steve's resume, the fact that he put the deal for the Martin theme song together, and a host of the endorsement deals majority of the hip-hop stars we know about and don't know about have been able to eat long after they have left the game as a result of this guy. I think you cannot realistically say he's not contributed in a major way to the culture, for that he can be cocky about.
Gersham Charles yeah he’s crazy arrogant but he’s definitely provider a lot for the culture ...a lot of people says he was a complete asshole back in the day but they say he’s done a 360 and is looking to help the artist out more
First off..if y’all not taking notes you’re wasting your time watching this interview!!!! My key takeaways are; 1. You have to know you’re the best at what you do. PERIOD 2. Your work ethics need to be at a level 1000 3. The key to success is building relationships. Money does not matter at the end of it all but, relationships and giving value does.
Amen ! I feel like this is what Stout really wanted to YELL at Nore each time he kept bring up money. Or telling Stout " I wanted you to get me a check ". Nore lacked these skills in his music career. He surely has brushed up his skills for the podcast industry. You can see he is putting in more business minded thoughts to it now compared to back in the days. I understand hes older now so he matured. But some people got it and others don't. Stout has it and Nore is just too short sighted sometimes.
Steve was about to drop some PAC stories, STEVE: Yeah, I met PAC a few times. NORE: Yeah, so it's the 20th anniversary of the "Firm" album right?! ME: DAFUQ????
AZ writing is fucking raw. Lyrically he was/is a beast. His beats sucked mostly. How can this guy say he knows hip hop and think AZ wasn’t that talented. WTF
He didnt say he wasnt talented. what he was tryna say is, on a track with nas or anybody else he shines very bright. But when he puts solo music out he doesnt go as hard.. Dont get me wrong cuz AZ is def one of my favorite rappers of all time.. However, stoutte is halfway right about that one-mainly due to AZs beat selection imho..
MICHAEL PIERRE nah bro listen again. He clearly said his talent level and writing ability wasn’t good enough for that time. If you go back and listen to those AZ albums his lyrics and floe was impeccable. His beats were trash tho, I do agree.
Steve Stoute shitted on AZ. I do agree that AZ messed up by trying to do commercial records that didn't land (such as Hey AZ)...but to say that AZ didn't have talent is ludicrous. And i would argue that his rhymes aged VERY well.
Shahbliv 88 i like the song but it flopped on the charts and they took it off the 2md album. The 2nd album flopped as a result. AZ shouldve not flopped at the time

Stoute a bitch for trying to disrespect AZ. He's the reason Nas n AZ never did a album together that nigga a punk. Proof here A talk about it ➡hiphopdx.com/interviews/id.2357/title.az-on-illmatic-i-helped-build-that-house
yo, I’m going 2 pretend I didn’t just hear those outlandish remarks about AZ’s lyricism/music and just continue watching bcuz I do want 2 see the rest. But what Stoute said was ridiculous. AZ is literally one of the best lyricist in Hip Hop #Facts
I'm starting to realize that in some circumstances, NORE will cut off an artist if they're telling a true story about some shit that most likely shouldn't be spoken on in a public setting. Sex with certain artist, female emcees, and old beefs from the past. I've watched enough episode to see that his cutoffs are to protect the show, the artist, and avoid conflict of interest with future guest. And of course....he still cuts people off for no reason as well 😂
Yo Nore loooove Drink Champs fam. But let the guest speak without cutting them off all the time. We miss out on great stories because of the artist getting sidetracked on the topic at hand from the constant interruptions. You can see the frustration on Stoute's face. The drinking and smoking cool that's the basis of the show, but from a fans POV the show need a little more professionalism when conducting classic interviews.
Very True. I love Nore and the show, But they have to improve on not interrupting the guests. To Know when the guests are done speaking to interject and lead the questions is a talent. Nore will improve with time
Those AZ comments are RIDICULOUS. He remains one of the greatest lyricists ever in hiphop. His rhymes have stood the test of time. You buggin out Steve......Somebody hit Stoute with another champagne bottle! lol
Maybe some NY niggaz can tell me different... but Im in HTown and I fucks w AZ. I assume most NYC niggaz do too. I always thought he had a nice "baby Nas" smooth lyrical delivery.
I disagree with Steve saying that AZ was a weak lyricist or alluding to that. Lyrics were never the problem regarding AZ. In my opinion, AZ's biggest problem was putting together cohesive albums. I like to think that's what Steve was trying to say but it sounds like he was shitting on AZ lyrically. The respect that AZ gets to this day is because despite his discography, he's been a great lyricist.
AZ was highly touted as being an elite MC out here but I think after his standout off that Nas cut in '94, his album Doe or Die in '95 he kinda fell off the radar. I mean Pieces of Man was cool but only die hards check for anything after that.
thejokersonyou AZ's production sucks for the most part, he loves them Stacey Lattisaw old school block party styled beats too much. I blame that on his Dominican side. (Joking).
Stoute has always been his own biggest groupie. He damn near ruined Nas' career in 99 and now wants credit for Nas coming back out in 2001 with thunder. Funniest part, Nas wasn't even fucking with him much then. Stoute's been around the block but he wants too much credit for shit.
@@fbigd2006 for the record Puff seem like he a wild boy when he drunk and he didn’t name his label BAD BOY for no reason😂 but y’all make it sound like he turn into the boogeyman and I think THATS HILARIOUS AF😂😂😩 he just being a Scorpio ♏️😩😩😩 they fuck anything😂 they all got one-track minds! Relax
Az wasnt talentless That was worded incorrectly Az just was true to rhymes and to bars A true respect for the art of rap His comeback album awol in 2005 was good enough to put him on top If u dont invest in radio airplay u wont be heard Has nothing to do with talent or stardom To get a record on radio is at least $900k to $1.4MM And then a couple of hundred stacks a week The only way to get to radio is thru a record label They got a monopoly n their practices should be illegal Hence lyrical rap died not cuz rappers are whack but because radio is music programming there is a program and right now homosexuality in the black community is programmed as a form of eugenics cuz the white race is dying out Welcome: lil uzi vert, youngthug, (anybody named youngboy,boy, lil or young) anybody with colorful beads on their hairstyles, anybody with clothes that can be considered “unisex”
Tone lied!! Track Masterz didnt do the original Juicy. Pete Rock did the original version of Juicy and then Puff went behind Pete Rocks back and got Track Masterz to redo the track. #FactsOnly
that hip hop era to gentrification analogy was crazy! Stoute still feels like the cat that made it out the hood, and comes back to the cookout super saditty and judgemental...smoking a cigar to cool to drink Hennessy. Mega interview brought me here.
My God NORE!! I respect you man, dare I say even got so much love for but damnit I couldn't hear that Mike Tyson Dapper Dan story bc you were interrupting Stoute the whole time. Please man, please let some of the stories breath OG
N.O.R.E. Love the show...One correction: I watch the podcasts faithfully. Jermaine Dupri didn't say Whitney couldn't hit the notes. He said she couldn't follow the cadence of his songs. Basically Mariah road the beats like a rap cadence. He said Whitney wasn't able to catch on in that manner. Again love the show I am a huge fan. And keep doing this forever! I work nights and this is the only thing I can watch and stay interested the entire time. Keep doing your thing!
Shout out to EFN .. say what y'all want but because of him I learned an important thing about Steve Stout character. He actually made Puff call his Mom and apologize b4 they could move forward or even have a conversation.
Stoute trippin!!! AZ's pen game is 🔥🔥🔥. I always thought AZ and Nas had too many comparisons, (and nobody compares to the God Son) that's what dimmed his light... SN: Drink Champs need someone to keep the guess on topic. Nore interrupts then they forget their train of thought... I still want to know why they felt The Firm didn't work? And how Tone met Foxy?... Love the podcast tho...
I love the concept of Drink Champs. And I love the authenticity of the content. I just don’t like how they deviate from conversations/questions. But the energy and vibe of this was dope.
Please bring Nas on drink champs soon NORE🤘🤘🤘 loving this whole culture you're bringing to the table, as a 25 year old hip hop fanatic ive learned so much more about the foundation of hip hop from watching these interviews alone
Y'ALL GOT TO STOP CUTTING THE GUEST OFF!! thats annoying. They be ready to tell stories and then Nore or EFN inject with some dumb comment. Let the guest SPEAK!
lasemcbride you new to drink champs, this the shit that happens, never gona change, you will get used to it, could be worse, try watch a funk flex interview, that fucker destroys all interviews
I'VE LISTENED TO 90 PERCENT OF THE interviews. But I still hate it. It's gonna a little better but it still has a long way to go. The artist get frustrated. TK Kirkland called him out on it; stout did too. Take heed More and evolve.
The most annoying thing ever. And everytime they interupt its because NORE wants to talk about HIMSELF and his story. Nobody wants to hear your story damn
If it is true that they do, I wonder how probable it is that they feel that way because they see themselves in him. All of them don't like second. And many people that don't like second, would be deemed assholes by the masses. The masses need to understand that it is a key ingredient to personal success.
Look I’m only 20 years old. I’m from East NY/Canarsie. I was raised on Nas and AZ cause my dad always bumped they shit. For Steve Stoute to come up here and say AZ didn’t have any Talent is blasphemous. I’m a young nigga but I know good music when I hear it and AZ has it, no discussion
Jemel Woseley when Stoute said that about AZ I was like WTF!!! Only problem with AZ was when he kept bouncing from label to label, he wasn't marketed right.
U can’t tell more how to do his show if he does like anyone else then it’s. Or drink champs no more ... duh ... go listen o rap radar or something and kick rocks
Nore got humbled by Stoute. Lol. Nore bring that Pharell card up when he drowing or tryna brag. Hes like a cowboys fan bringing up rings from 20 years ago
@@poppapiltch5601 Nore can be said to be smart. Not academically. But the academics can play a part in socially. So I see what you mean. But he wouldn't be where he is without a great intelligence. Stout knows the academic part and he tryna use big words to stump Nore but Nore clever enough to own the hell out his uneducation. This is why the people love Nore, keeping it real af, he takes the power out of Stouts jibes .
@@troydogg2716 dame dash said Steve stoute is not from the streets and D-ROC said they used to throw water on Steve when he was sleep cause he was a goofy 🤷🏽♀️
jamahl nesmith he is not. AZ had one classic verse (Life’s a Bitch), and some sub par albums. His verse on “Mo Money, Mo Murder” was part 2 of his “Life’s a Bitch” verse. He’s only remembered cuz he’s Nas’ man. Be real
Shaun Wright bro stfu if we asked you prior to this interview about az you would of said he's great, now u claiming shit cuz stoute said it az don't like stouts anyway and az top 10 he has verses after verses
Some people are just followers. If you know anything about hip hop and emceeing you know AZ is nice. You gotta be a goofball to say he's not. I'll admit Nas's lyrical content is better, but to say AZ wasn't talented is just foolish. Saying sh*t like "one classic verse, and some sub par albums" is like saying "I don't know sh*t about hip hop, I just like stuff when other people like it".
I’m from south central LA and I always thought and still think AZ is nice... Steve stout tripping with that statement.man people should know how the music industry is, shaky and filled with bullshit.
This is a Classic interview, Steve Stoute dropping a lot of knowledge. This interview, Irv Gotti interview and 50 cents was by far the best ones thus far
Commissioner Steve Stout. One of those names you always heard but never seen. Nore is DOPE for having the execs on bc they gi've the REAL DEAL holifield behind the scenes with trackmasters poke
Nas has two diss joints too- Ether & Gotta Yourself a Gun. Jay had Takeover & Jay responded with “I got myself a gun, Uh Oh” & then he dropped “Super Ugly” in HIP HOP TRUTH Nas was smart for not responding because Jay dropping that third one made Jay look like a hater💯 and then when his mom made him get on the radio and apologize for Super Ugly, it made Nas look even better because “how you a hard rapper when your mama put you in time out”. Since both Nas’ efforts went so hard we all rode with Nas... at least in Chicago🤷🏽♀️
NO NO NO U MISSED THE GREATEST ASPECTS LIKE JAY RELEASE ETHER ON JAY-Z BIRTHDAY LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THAT DUDE WAS OUT BEFORE HIM OLDER THAN HIM AND JAY WAS BITING AND JOCKING D-RIDING FROM THE BEGINNING PEOPLE YOUNGER THAN HIM JAY PUTS HIMSELF IN THE SAME SENTENCE AS NAS PAC BIGGIE WHEN IF YOU GOOGLE JAY WIKIPEDIA U WILL SEE JAY STARTED ACTIVE SINCE 86 SO JAY WASN'T EVEN ON THE CLASS OF THEM REALLY HIS CLASS WAS RAKIM KRS KANE KOOL G RAP SLICK RICK LL COOL J THEN NAS PREDICTED JAYZ SUCKER MOVES LAST LINE OF ETHER "WANTED TO BE ON EVERY LAST ONE OF MY CLASSICS U POP SHIT APOLOGIZE NIGGA JUST ASK. KISS.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I respect Stout because he told it like he felt. He wasn't politicly correct on many points, but he called it like he saw it... I'm not saying he was right, but I can respect the attitude. Like when he said he got beat up by Puffy's goons. It was what it was.

While watching this interview, I washed and folded 3 loads of clothes, washed dishes, cooked dinner, shaved my head.... still 30 minutes left
😂
Lmao but you didnt brush your teeth you snaggle tooth biatch lol
😂😂😂
This was almost half my work shift and still here 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Steve Stoute look like Wayne Brady
Look like he could be Omar Epps daddy. Lol
Mr. NuffSaid like an overweight one lol
Mr. NuffSaid racist pig
Is Wayne Brady gone have to choke a bitch.
😂😂😂😂😂
Stoute is dropping some serious gems. He understands business from making money to keeping it. Especially how to monetize relationships. Respect!
Stoute is also fearlessly honest as well as intellectual. Some folks don't handle truth well. I believe in it, even if it's painful.
Stoute has always been his own biggest groupie. He damn near ruined Nas' career in 99 and now wants credit for Nas coming back out in 2001 with thunder. Funniest part, Nas wasn't even fucking with him much then. Stoute's been around the block but he wants too much credit for shit.
octomoda mannnnn this shit was outstanding
It's part tactic, part fact. Being super confident is a part of the success formula. If you don't believe in you , who will?

This is one of the classics that the team of Drink Champ's has got in their vault !!!
Stoute is outta his fucking mind AZ's albums were fucking classics!
MrNapalm313 he was right cause dude faded
I had to cut this interview off the first time when he said AZ's old music was not good
Y’all don’t give Nore the credit for his deflecting skills😂😂 he is awesome at that shit
Facts 🤣 He skated smooth the fucc away from drunk Puff at Chris Lighty's wedding💯
@@fbigd2006 apparently everyone did 🤷🏽♀️😂 it’s none of my business. I don’t know these people. I just love hip hop😂 FOREVER ✊🏽❤️
@@fbigd2006 for the record Puff seem like he a wild boy when he drunk and he didn’t name his label BAD BOY for no reason😂 but y’all make it sound like he turn into the boogeyman and I think THATS HILARIOUS AF😂😂😩 he just being a Scorpio ♏️😩😩😩 they fuck anything😂 they all got one-track minds! Relax
@@Aarona_TheVirgo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Before I get started watching this video did Nore ask Steve about that picture with him and Puffy in those pink shirts hug up on each other lol
Az wasnt talentless
That was worded incorrectly
Az just was true to rhymes and to bars
A true respect for the art of rap
His comeback album awol in 2005 was good enough to put him on top
If u dont invest in radio airplay u wont be heard
Has nothing to do with talent or stardom
To get a record on radio is at least $900k to $1.4MM
And then a couple of hundred stacks a week
The only way to get to radio is thru a record label
They got a monopoly n their practices should be illegal
Hence lyrical rap died not cuz rappers are whack but because radio is music programming there is a program and right now homosexuality in the black community is programmed as a form of eugenics cuz the white race is dying out

Mr smith it's 1k just for Twitter/Instagram post . .in certain media outlets it's crazy...
U lost me with the hotep shit
Darius Olfus please elaborate
awol was just ok. The come up was his only great song but somewhat outdated for mainstream but amazing for underground and hip hop heads
AZ was weak. Stoute hit that nail on the head. And I'm from Brooklyn.
Nas is #thegoat He wild out though talking about AZ didn't have enough talent. AZ albums are top notch.
Facts DOE OR DIE 1 & 2 are Classics plus Pieces of a man all 🔥🔥🔥
Steve Stoute is one of those dudes when u knock him out gets back up and says it was tie
haaaa
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 facts
Malique 😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀
Malique 💯💯💯 Steve ALWAYS been A. Succa.He Shit on Nas....Cormega..........Nature....Az........Hatinfor no reason anytime somebody talk to him.
He rubs me the wrong .......He talks a lot of shit!
Stout buggin AZ Top notch. slow down on the fancy stuff my guy‼️
Tone lied!! Track Masterz didnt do the original Juicy. Pete Rock did the original version of Juicy and then Puff went behind Pete Rocks back and got Track Masterz to redo the track. #FactsOnly
The Gaming Effect ™ maybe Tone don't know that
DIPSET should be the next interview. Nore make it happen G
mba5 Cam too cool
mba5 or fab
mba5 I was thinking the same thing.. that's crazy
With Duke da God or Freaky there🔥
Dip
Steve Stoute shitted on everyone this whole interview 😂😂😂😂
Hilarious I loved every minute
aaa2782 pulled EFN card lol, tf care about Miami
aaa2782 EFN was tight lol
Hell yeah who didnt he does bet he got problems now
Supreme Havoc Gifted Sony He said that about Miami? Lol
that hip hop era to gentrification analogy was crazy! Stoute still feels like the cat that made it out the hood, and comes back to the cookout super saditty and judgemental...smoking a cigar to cool to drink Hennessy. Mega interview brought me here.
hey could you drop the link for this interview please bro, appreciate it
My God NORE!! I respect you man, dare I say even got so much love for but damnit I couldn't hear that Mike Tyson Dapper Dan story bc you were interrupting Stoute the whole time. Please man, please let some of the stories breath OG
AZ is next level. This cat Stoute is bugging...AZ's rhyme skill is supreme!
TOS-EL BASHIR Facts
TOS-EL BASHIR AZ had that supreme flow! His technique was undoubtedly top 10 of all time!
TOS-EL BASHIR he has a point bro. Where is AZ at the moment????
👑🐐
TOS-EL BASHIR I agree. But AZ dont have that "it" factor. Idk what it is but his lyrics are dope haha
N.O.R.E. Love the show...One correction: I watch the podcasts faithfully. Jermaine Dupri didn't say Whitney couldn't hit the notes. He said she couldn't follow the cadence of his songs. Basically Mariah road the beats like a rap cadence. He said Whitney wasn't able to catch on in that manner. Again love the show I am a huge fan. And keep doing this forever! I work nights and this is the only thing I can watch and stay interested the entire time. Keep doing your thing!
Shout out to EFN .. say what y'all want but because of him I learned an important thing about Steve Stout character. He actually made Puff call his Mom and apologize b4 they could move forward or even have a conversation.
NORE YOU MUST SHOW SELF RESTRAINT AND DISCIPLINE! YOU HAVE TO ALLOW YOUR GUEST TO FINISH THEIR THOUGHTS WITHOUT IMPULSIVELY CUTTING THEM OFF.
that was wierd when stout told nore he didnt believe he was a shooter , im on the floor crying laughing lol
Nore I love you bro but you gotta stop cutting people off...Stoute be ready to give up some jewels and you be spittin Cubic Zirconia
Troy Barbour facts
😂 😂 😂 you busy my g
Troy Barbour omfg bro he did that shit like 50 times he was bout to talk about Pac and he cut him off I was like Mthfkr!!!
yo foreal!
hah
Stoute trippin!!! AZ's pen game is 🔥🔥🔥. I always thought AZ and Nas had too many comparisons, (and nobody compares to the God Son) that's what dimmed his light...
SN: Drink Champs need someone to keep the guess on topic. Nore interrupts then they forget their train of thought...
I still want to know why they felt The Firm didn't work? And how Tone met Foxy?...
Love the podcast tho...
😆😂Stoute said “you think your mustache and beard is right” to N.O.R.E....too funny!😂
Nore’s goatee looks terrible
Steve Stoute arrogance is funny and entertaining 😂😂😂😂
"We smoke cigars just to put weed in them" lol 😂 love Nore
I love the concept of Drink Champs. And I love the authenticity of the content. I just don’t like how they deviate from conversations/questions. But the energy and vibe of this was dope.
Please bring Nas on drink champs soon NORE🤘🤘🤘 loving this whole culture you're bringing to the table, as a 25 year old hip hop fanatic ive learned so much more about the foundation of hip hop from watching these interviews alone
Jessica Medina You got what wanted.
Done ✅
Y'ALL GOT TO STOP CUTTING THE GUEST OFF!! thats annoying. They be ready to tell stories and then Nore or EFN inject with some dumb comment. Let the guest SPEAK!
lasemcbride you new to drink champs, this the shit that happens, never gona change, you will get used to it, could be worse, try watch a funk flex interview, that fucker destroys all interviews
lasemcbride I feel you !! WTF does BDK fucking Madonna has to do with his falling off ? C’Mon Son !!
I'VE LISTENED TO 90 PERCENT OF THE interviews. But I still hate it. It's gonna a little better but it still has a long way to go. The artist get frustrated. TK Kirkland called him out on it; stout did too. Take heed More and evolve.
Not gonna happen, NORE loves the sound of his own voice too much.
The most annoying thing ever. And everytime they interupt its because NORE wants to talk about HIMSELF and his story. Nobody wants to hear your story damn
How does this not have millions of views yet? These r LEGENDS at d table! 🙏
Now i see why Dame Dash,Puffy, 50Cent dislike Steve Stoute..he talks so much shit he reminds me of Dame alot..
If it is true that they do, I wonder how probable it is that they feel that way because they see themselves in him. All of them don't like second. And many people that don't like second, would be deemed assholes by the masses. The masses need to understand that it is a key ingredient to personal success.
Yes!! This interview was eye opening. Like maaaan you gotta reLAX 🤦🏾♀ lol
Look I’m only 20 years old. I’m from East NY/Canarsie. I was raised on Nas and AZ cause my dad always bumped they shit. For Steve Stoute to come up here and say AZ didn’t have any Talent is blasphemous. I’m a young nigga but I know good music when I hear it and AZ has it, no discussion
I love the way how people Ignore the fact that DJ EFN is so knowledgeable and smart.
i could smell the liquor through the screen
AZ wasnt talented... YOU GOTTA RELAX Steve Stout!!!
Jemel Woseley facts
Jemel Woseley when Stoute said that about AZ I was like WTF!!! Only problem with AZ was when he kept bouncing from label to label, he wasn't marketed right.
Jason Roberts that wasn’t by choice, he said those labels kept folding. AZ is top five Steve talking out his ass.
Jemel Woseley for real AZ dope made great albums
My sentiments exactly!!! This dude is delirious!!!
19:45 Stoute said, “open up the door, my man is at the door…Rich Paul”
Nore let your guest please tell 1 complete story.
Yolo Yolo He is so fucking annoying smh.
U can’t tell more how to do his show if he does like anyone else then it’s. Or drink champs no more ... duh ... go listen o rap radar or something and kick rocks
Seriously if he let Steve talk this convo wouldn’t have taken over 3 hrs.
yll bugging on this one Steve won't let Nore even get the question or let tone talk
SUPER FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I fuck's wit Drink Champs but i can't take NORE for to long!!
Nore got humbled by Stoute. Lol.
Nore bring that Pharell card up when he drowing or tryna brag. Hes like a cowboys fan bringing up rings from 20 years ago
I disagree o. AZ I went back and listed. To 9 lives and Aziatic. They are still fire!
Stoute lowkey gets annoyed with NORE hella often
Roche IV I thought the nigga was gon walk out a few times
Cause of the iq gap
6side Roche facts
I was waiting for nore stfu
@@poppapiltch5601 Nore can be said to be smart. Not academically. But the academics can play a part in socially. So I see what you mean. But he wouldn't be where he is without a great intelligence. Stout knows the academic part and he tryna use big words to stump Nore but Nore clever enough to own the hell out his uneducation. This is why the people love Nore, keeping it real af, he takes the power out of Stouts jibes .
Tone is a lowkey legend
Steve wouldn't let the man talk
I like Stoute!! Not afraid to speak "his" truth which is the core of what rap and hip hop is! Love it or hate it!!
So nobody is gonna talk about what happened to Poke ?
charlita25 good question
WORD
What happen to Poke?
charlita25 what happened to poke?
What happend to Poke?
Stoute FINALLY said what we all been thinking...Stop interrupting!!! He owned this episode.
Fuck him g
Have you noticed Nore hardly interrupts Steve Stoute? Steve Stoute is a powerful dude ... you cant fuk around on Steve.. ijs
@@troydogg2716 dame dash said Steve stoute is not from the streets and D-ROC said they used to throw water on Steve when he was sleep cause he was a goofy 🤷🏽♀️
I am glad he cleared up that Nas/Puff Hate Me Now mess. I remember that because we skipped class to watch it.
That's what's up capital M...👍😎
“After the VMAs/my baby mama cussed my ass out/i kicked her ass/we back friends like Puffy and Steve Stoute”
Ebony Idemudia knew someone was gonna say this I hope they bring up they fifty was in stoutes face
Truuu lol
That's all I kept hearing in my head when the interview started lol #PoppinThemThangs #GUnit #BegForMercy
😂😂😂😂😂
All I kept hearing!!
Steve Stoute's head shape is difficult.
The Imagery of Stoute Being Beat Up 1 minute before "Hate Me Now" premiered is Dynamic, Prophetic and Hilarious as Fuck.
Its a hidden issue behind steve talkn like that about AZ. Whts understood dont need to be explained. (AZ top 10 hands down)!
jamahl nesmith he is not. AZ had one classic verse (Life’s a Bitch), and some sub par albums. His verse on “Mo Money, Mo Murder” was part 2 of his “Life’s a Bitch” verse. He’s only remembered cuz he’s Nas’ man. Be real
Shaun Wright bro stfu if we asked you prior to this interview about az you would of said he's great, now u claiming shit cuz stoute said it az don't like stouts anyway and az top 10 he has verses after verses
one creation shut up
I like AZ no where near top 10
Some people are just followers. If you know anything about hip hop and emceeing you know AZ is nice. You gotta be a goofball to say he's not. I'll admit Nas's lyrical content is better, but to say AZ wasn't talented is just foolish.
Saying sh*t like "one classic verse, and some sub par albums" is like saying "I don't know sh*t about hip hop, I just like stuff when other people like it".
Hip hop is still in the beginning! !!!!!!!!!!!!! Most powerful statement Ever
Kenny Anderson That sobered up everything in that room quick!!!!
Nore a fool with that,"I gotta relax" 😂😂
I’m from south central LA and I always thought and still think AZ is nice... Steve stout tripping with that statement.man people should know how the music industry is, shaky and filled with bullshit.
AZ is one of the greatest MCs in the game
This is a Classic interview, Steve Stoute dropping a lot of knowledge. This interview, Irv Gotti interview and 50 cents was by far the best ones thus far
Stopped watching when Stoute said AZ had no talent.
"You think your "Banned from TV" verse was hot?"
You can tell Stoute thinks of Nore as a gimmick dude that coulda did more if he was more serious like Nas and Jay
Omar Scruggs not true. You don't know if he thinks that. You're thinking about Nore in that way....
Ken Cabinson Lol
at the end "you didn't have to say it in front of everybody". say no mo
even if Nore was serious as Nas and Jay..he wouldnt be like them. Nore is dope, but not on that level. But he's doing well for himself. so yeah
Even Nore could tell what Steve thinks of him. That’s why he kept cutting him off
Stoute is bugging, AZ is a legend. Crazy nice.Get outta here.
trackmasters need to always be mentioned amongst dre,premo, neptunes, swizz!
Chris Rosado no way
To me, Swizz wasn't that dope. Early in his career, the artists made him more than he made a song dope
Commissioner Steve Stout. One of those names you always heard but never seen. Nore is DOPE for having the execs on bc they gi've the REAL DEAL holifield behind the scenes with trackmasters poke
T Gutta he’s been seen since the 90’s. Been in vids and mags
Nas has two diss joints too- Ether & Gotta Yourself a Gun. Jay had Takeover & Jay responded with “I got myself a gun, Uh Oh” & then he dropped “Super Ugly” in HIP HOP TRUTH Nas was smart for not responding because Jay dropping that third one made Jay look like a hater💯 and then when his mom made him get on the radio and apologize for Super Ugly, it made Nas look even better because “how you a hard rapper when your mama put you in time out”. Since both Nas’ efforts went so hard we all rode with Nas... at least in Chicago🤷🏽♀️
NO NO NO U MISSED THE GREATEST ASPECTS LIKE JAY RELEASE ETHER ON JAY-Z BIRTHDAY LETTING PEOPLE KNOW THAT DUDE WAS OUT BEFORE HIM OLDER THAN HIM AND JAY WAS BITING AND JOCKING D-RIDING FROM THE BEGINNING PEOPLE YOUNGER THAN HIM JAY PUTS HIMSELF IN THE SAME SENTENCE AS NAS PAC BIGGIE WHEN IF YOU GOOGLE JAY WIKIPEDIA U WILL SEE JAY STARTED ACTIVE SINCE 86 SO JAY WASN'T EVEN ON THE CLASS OF THEM REALLY HIS CLASS WAS RAKIM KRS KANE KOOL G RAP SLICK RICK LL COOL J THEN NAS PREDICTED JAYZ SUCKER MOVES LAST LINE OF ETHER "WANTED TO BE ON EVERY LAST ONE OF MY CLASSICS U POP SHIT APOLOGIZE NIGGA JUST ASK. KISS.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Make some noise for the people that sat for the whole interview ::Clapping::
I like the way Steve control the convo
I said the same thing....he is controlling the entire interview....boss moves...
This was awkward at so many points. Stoute is very arrogant and Nore isn’t qualified to interview him!
I respect Stout because he told it like he felt. He wasn't politicly correct on many points, but he called it like he saw it... I'm not saying he was right, but I can respect the attitude. Like when he said he got beat up by Puffy's goons. It was what it was.
Yup, nore got to bent for him
The track masters are some of the most versitale producers in the game!
