Math ask all the tough questions, Mecca a different breed . He is balanced on his square. Hyna. And Esso are very honest and true to themselves. Spaceghost is a talented producer. BIGGA keeps the room blessed and safe. Super dope team!!!!! Let's go!!
DJ Clue mixtapes in the late 1990s & 2000s were good enough to be albums. A true legend indeed! Glad he had great things to say about DJ Kay Slay and explain some of the stories behind those freestyles. Never knew he had the chance to sign Remy Ma. I wonder what if he did.
This will be my go-to for hip-hop podcast. These are great conversations that's not centered around drinking and smoking. The host ask great questions and all the guest are allowed to speak without interruptions. SB: Esso was just excited because they are celebrating his friend so I'm not even mad. Dj Clue entire demeanor is a vibe. This man is so calm but the way he carries himself you know he commands respect.
The good thing about drink champs is sometimes the artists open up after a few drinks, but the bad is nore usually gets the most drunk and he doesn’t really do enough research. I watch them both tho
MEMPHIS BLEEK admitted that he started with NAS a few years ago. It’s on the internet. In the 90’s NAS was recognized as a supreme lyricist and was the King of this rap thing for a minute!
@@delmarfrazier2727 That featured Jay Z, joint produced by Buckwild, was a single of Memph's debut album. Ja Rule was featured on another album cut off the debut
I gotta say that American Gangster was like Reasonable Doubt part 2. With all the growth that Jay had at that point, He was able to go back into that bag that he was in during Reasonable Doubt because of that movie. Reasonable Doubt and American Gangster were Definitely Classics.
Fab was spitting on every beat that came through the studio in the office! Fab was straight off the streets of Brooklyn. I had to talk Clue into being his manager
SHOUT OUT TO MATH N CO. FOR BRINGING US THE PEOPLE ANOTHER LEGENDARY INTERVIEW.. Love the platform the culture needs this.. keep this goin much love from INDIANA
That Jay Z be Nas beef…. Bleek started it… He admitted on Drink Champs. He gives you a timeline. He came at Nas on “What you think of that”. After Jay z versus was coming at Nas. Nas responded on “Nastradamus” with “Yo, I need an encore why'all, you should welcome me back You want to ball till you fall, I can help you with that You want beef? I could let a slug melt in your hat”
the freestyle that Clue is talking about around the 26:00 mark is the Westside Connection Freestyle with Stack (Bundles) Game and Buddens. shit was crazy! That was my second time hearing Stacks after hearing him on Monday night
I’m getting to really love this show it has its on formula and tone. Esso and co are very inspiring with their questions how they give insights to industry moves …. Clue had the whole NYC & Charts on Lock I can learn from his calm demeanor Man’s a legend
Bleek wish he started it… if u wanna be real… J been taking shots since imaginary player… he was talking bout Mase, but if u listen he was taking shots at Nas too….
we love this.....gotta let mr.mecc ask em some more stuff super interested on how he sees answers and asks questions . His perspectives are intriguing ....
Esso didn't know the chill button existed on this episode but a dope episode overall. But since Clue is Panamanian and Jamaican...he's really from Flatbush 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
I dont know who started it but Nas finished with a 4 piece. “Ask me if I’m try’n to kick knowledge, nah, Im try’n to kick the ish you need to learn though, thaT ether, that ish that make ya soul burn slow.” still nothing better since.
I think that Clue is my #1 favorite mixtape DJ next to Kay Slay (R.I.P.), Doo Wop, Tony Touch, Cutmaster C, Envy, Big Mike, Whoo Kid, Green Lantern, etc. He had so many mixtapes from '94 to '05 that are classics to this day. He had many freestyles and other exclusive shit that impacted the mixtape scene. Clue needs to be more appreciated because of the blood, sweat and tears he put in those mixtapes. I have Stadium Series Pt. 4, Don't Throw Rocks at the Throne, Cluemanatti Pt. 2, and Triple Platinum on my mixtape shelf (I once had The 4, 5, 6 (Going for Broke) but it was damaged). Show Me the Money is my favorite Clue mixtape. I remember when he had the Monday Night Mixtape shit on Hot 97. That Fabolous and Noreaga freestyle is classic to this day. Thanks for the memories, Clue.
I’m from Raleigh,NC and I used to walk downtown to the record store and have them make me a 5 dollar clue mixtape he was the hottest in the game in the 90’s
Loved the episode… very cool to hear the stories behind classic mixtape freestyles etc… y’all need to get all big mixtape dj’s from the 90’s on the show (craig g, funk flex, red alert,…) also dj drama for some insight in his mixtapes, stories about rappers…
I love that Clue got on Rubberbands man. I was the last class of niggas that colored in their Jansport logo’s bumpin his shit… “And if you looking wrong imma try ya, ‘cause I’m known for shootin shit up like Bonds and McGwire…” - Duffle What a time to be alive boy…
I used to hoop against clue and his boy six at chelsea piers and clue would call fouls if you even breathe on him....but he could actually hoop!!! LEGEND NO DOUBT
Clue: I don't know = drank Clue: I can't say = drank Clue: I can't remember = drank Clue: That was so long = drank See how drunk you are by the end of the interview 🤣
It was uploaded two weeks ago but was set to private. TH-cam algo ain’t pick it up yet. Probably should upload on day of release so we all get notified and views take off. This is a DOPE episode
Hoffa got the best off the top introductions in the pod cast world. Matter fact, mention anyone in American entertainment with better introductions….. this matters because when introducing a person, every word used is carefully chosen. This man has a talent that could seriously put him in a elite group of people like michael buffer and he get multiple millions every ppl event. 💭🧐 think about this Hoffa. I follow your work in it entirety and your a fresh voice in a diluted pool of copiers.
I'm with Esso on Jay-Z Volume 2. I've been saying for years that Reasonable Doubt and Volume 2 are his best albums. Also, regardless of who you want to say started the Nas/Jay beef, Nas ended it when he dropped Ether! It was a WRAP after that! Lol!
I’m from the south side of Bridgeport ct . My projects had three soundtracks for the whole hood. It was written, hell on earth, and dynasty. Every car every boom box every window had dynasty playing‼️ there was a small group of people who was bumping reasonable doubt. They are just coming home from the Feds. Streets is watching was the intro to Jayz for majority of my environment. Vol1 didn’t connect vol2 had the party scene but dynasty stamped him for us
Volume 1, Dynasty, and Blueprint 2 only have a few skips but too many to be considered a CLASSIC. Blueprint 2 could have easily been a CLASSIC if it wasn't a DOUBLE ALBUM and they chose the right 12-15 songs
Man I love clue, them desert storm MIXTAPES was the shit to me here on the Westcoast but DRE had a hard time breaking EM🤷 so clue and fab is not that far fetched... IJS #respectfully
This one was fire, the humbleness of Clue and genuine person… BUT i can’t believe y’all slept on the Black Album, didn’t even mention it. I’m with Clue on Dynasty too, it was fire.
Dj Clue is the type dude who mind's his own business when it comes to other people's beef & disputes 💯
DJ no Clue….I have no clue because I’m minding my own business 😂
DJ Clue is like the Tim Duncan of Mixtape Djs. You had to see it to put it in perspective how dominant he was among ALL these other legends.
Man remember the backstage soundtrack?
I say Allen Iverson of the era kiddo
But your comment 🔥
Until Kay slay
CLUMINATIIIIIIIIIII
Terrible comparison. Bro was Lebron James or Michael Jordan. He was super Legendary.
DJ Clue is definitely a slept on Legend. This mixtapes are part of my childhood memories. Love his smooth demeanor too.
slept on? we all know he is legendary
Absolutey dummy
Slept on he was a commercial DJ back in the mid-90s. He had major artists on his mixtape.
He’s not even close to slept on😆
Big facts
Clue is an absolute legend. Dude was Khaled for New York when NY was on top of the game.
If you like hip hop you know there’s nothing better than hearing real hip hop stories. Shout out to Clue a legend.
Just Talking SHIFT on TH-cam
Damn Esso let the guest answer his own questions lol!!! Bro mad excited lol !!!
Clue is a genius yet so humble. "Those tapes meant the world for millions"....
Math ask all the tough questions, Mecca a different breed . He is balanced on his square. Hyna. And Esso are very honest and true to themselves. Spaceghost is a talented producer. BIGGA keeps the room blessed and safe. Super dope team!!!!! Let's go!!
How u feel about it now?

Bleek is a liar… CARMEN started the beef by fuckin Hov…. Hov been taking shots since imaginary player
Yep song is what you think of that. Feat Ja Rule✌️
@@delmarfrazier2727 That featured Jay Z, joint produced by Buckwild, was a single of Memph's debut album. Ja Rule was featured on another album cut off the debut
Your lifestyles written? Who u supposed to be, play ya position
Lower Esso mic next episode, or sit him in the back with no mic lol
He be hitting the henny before show starts 🤣
Or get him his own show
Word, he be doin too much, he don’t wanna let nobody talk lol
Yeah he was way annoying .
I knew i wasnt buggin lmaoo
I gotta say that American Gangster was like Reasonable Doubt part 2. With all the growth that Jay had at that point, He was able to go back into that bag that he was in during Reasonable Doubt because of that movie. Reasonable Doubt and American Gangster were Definitely Classics.
Somebody gets it! 🙌🏾
This was good. Listening to AG you can definitely hear RD.
Peace
From Dj Ron G to Dj Clue...
Raised us .... Icon, Legendary ✊🏿🙏🏿🔥🔥🔥
JAY-Z sampled NAS more than a few times because NAS was once his favorite rapper!
The PRODUCER sampled Nas.
@@tamunosakiwestscott-bloack2229 as per request of the artist.
Yup Jay was a fan
still is

Thank you #Math….your channel/platform is about to do numbers well beyond your imagination!!!!

D.j Clue definitely a legend I'm a Florida native and we looked at the R.O.C like the dream team 🏀🎯
Peace from orlando fla

After the way Esso deebo’d the whole interview I bet not see math interrupt bigga no more everytime he tryna say something to the people
Esso was on sum weird shit this episode idk
@@jayzee60 he was drunk.
Esso tryin to get his 15 minutes of fame after '8 @ the table', clown behavior
@Brunson III Films You articulated what always bothered me about Esso. He did the same ish when Joe Budden was on the show.
@@jayzee60 He always annoys me, Bigga, Math, and the Source dude got great energy, but Esso 🤦🏽♂️
I’m getting to really love this show it has its on formula and tone. Esso and co are very inspiring with their questions how they give insights to industry moves …. Clue had the whole NYC & Charts on Lock
I can learn from his calm demeanor
Man’s a legend
This was a good interview love DJ Clue it was good to finally here him talk.
Clueminatti!!!!!! Tru Hip Hop!!!! Grab one up 7-11 ,at Norfolk State Univ.... The Era
DJ Clue one of the greatest of all time this guy a legend for real
R.I.P. to the 19 little angels that passed away in Texas. 🙏
Would of love to hear DJ Clue’s first introduction to Drake if Esso didn’t over talk him
Yeah fucking annoying for real
Esso talks way too much!
@@boobash518 not that he talks too much he talks too much at the wrong time when niggas tryna make a point smfh
Esso is Nore on this podcast. Always yapping and fucking up the story
I stopped watching a lot of their podcasts part way through bc of him
Driving in silence, a feat so underrated
Remember When Dame told clue he got 4 haircuts in one😁😂 nigga said he gotta fro, fade, baldy, waves, he reppin all Boros 💀🤣
Bleek started it he said it himself on drink champs
We know. But thank you for saying it Again.
Bleek wish he started it… if u wanna be real… J been taking shots since imaginary player… he was talking bout Mase, but if u listen he was taking shots at Nas too….
we love this.....gotta let mr.mecc ask em some more stuff super interested on how he sees answers and asks questions . His perspectives are intriguing ....
50 Cent King and Father Of Mixtapes, Guess Who's Back Greatest Mixtape Of All Time.
Esso didn't know the chill button existed on this episode but a dope episode overall. But since Clue is Panamanian and Jamaican...he's really from Flatbush 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
True facts!!!!!!!! Esso was really interrupting this episode. Lol
I could see how math got rid a ngaz lol

Math has a high rap IQ. Respect
I dont know who started it but Nas finished with a 4 piece. “Ask me if I’m try’n to kick knowledge, nah, Im try’n to kick the ish you need to learn though, thaT ether, that ish that make ya soul burn slow.”
still nothing better since.

Math be putting that pressure on my notifications…I fuck with it! Thank you for the grind 🙏🏽
Loved the episode… very cool to hear the stories behind classic mixtape freestyles etc… y’all need to get all big mixtape dj’s from the 90’s on the show (craig g, funk flex, red alert,…) also dj drama for some insight in his mixtapes, stories about rappers…
I guess they reading the comments, they got 2 out of four of those guest now lol
I respect how direct and clear cut Math is .......
Clue gotta come wit it when it comes to this hip hop, dry stories, u just was there??? Being one of the most iconic djs in the game
Dude with the braids was mad hyped that his bro Clue was there he was too saucy 😂
I love that Clue got on Rubberbands man. I was the last class of niggas that colored in their Jansport logo’s bumpin his shit…
“And if you looking wrong imma try ya, ‘cause I’m known for shootin shit up like Bonds and McGwire…”
- Duffle
What a time to be alive boy…
I used to hoop against clue and his boy six at chelsea piers and clue would call fouls if you even breathe on him....but he could actually hoop!!! LEGEND NO DOUBT
DJ CLUE IS THE PIONEER OF MIXTAPES
Clue: I don't know = drank
Clue: I can't say = drank
Clue: I can't remember = drank
Clue: That was so long = drank
See how drunk you are by the end of the interview 🤣
I miss Clue on hot 97 those days are priceless
Ya man Esso talking like Clue is his best friend...but it's like Clue barely knows him🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Esso is annoying, he needs to pipe it down lol
It's a Queens thing nigga
49:08 my mans had the vision! 😄 give that man his credit
First mixtape I ever bought was a DJ Clue tape
Salute Math how in the hell are the views so low on this episode
I been looking for this joint and ain’t see it until today something’s afoot
It was uploaded two weeks ago but was set to private. TH-cam algo ain’t pick it up yet. Probably should upload on day of release so we all get notified and views take off. This is a DOPE episode
Blame Esso dude with the braids. Dude very annoying at times

Who they interviewing Clue or Esso 🤦🏾♂️
I hella feel you Esso, "He's rich already,"💵💵💵💵💵🤣🙃‼️
I'm with Esso on Jay-Z Volume 2. I've been saying for years that Reasonable Doubt and Volume 2 are his best albums. Also, regardless of who you want to say started the Nas/Jay beef, Nas ended it when he dropped Ether! It was a WRAP after that! Lol!
American Gangster most underrated and slept on Jay album ever
You never heard blueprint ?
Esso gotta chill
that would be awesome after midnight shows!!!
Vol.2 over everything 🔥🔥
Math you droppin classic after classic eps. Thank you!
Wassup wit a AZ ep?
Exactly !!

Makes sense that Clue used to be an MC. His adlibs in his tapes always hit the pocket lol!!!
"HA! HA! CLUE!!"
I'm from Atlanta & I was checking for all them clue tapes
Reasonable Doubt, Hard Knock Life, Blueprint, Black Album, Blueprint 3, American Gangster, and 4:44 are ALL CLASSICS
Volume 1, Dynasty, and Blueprint 2 only have a few skips but too many to be considered a CLASSIC. Blueprint 2 could have easily been a CLASSIC if it wasn't a DOUBLE ALBUM and they chose the right 12-15 songs
Clue and Ron G was my go to mixtapes in the early 90's
Feeling this podcast!
Yo they episodes actually valid af
I could always count on DJ Clue for exclusive Mobb Deep songs.
I respect him asking Clue about Kay Slay, the entire interview I was wondering when Kay Slay would be mentioned
Great interview, enjoyed the energy esso brought to the conversation.
I have to pause this and go back to the cluemaniti mixtape. I’ll revisit this interview after
Bring ‘em out!!! this view is really legendary
Wow I just thought about this, a Clue vs Drama Concert boi dope!
Salute to CLUE laid back it's all about the music /artist 🎶 💯 %
Come and Be ready . CALM , COOL 😎 AND CLASSIFIED 💰.
At 1;18. I am 45 goring on 46 this October 3. We of age appreciate what you do. And we love our history. Get my 👂.
Man I love clue, them desert storm MIXTAPES was the shit to me here on the Westcoast but DRE had a hard time breaking EM🤷 so clue and fab is not that far fetched... IJS #respectfully
DJ Clue Was My Favorite Mixtape DJ
Dj Drama
Fabulous bit that napkin bandana from K- Solo & Redman with the towel wrapped around their heads. #RealHipHopFan
but he didn't bite nobodies flow that's for sure.
Good interview tho!
Good LooKn Math Hoffa.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Is really all that I got 🧱🌃
The era of the Clue Tape is untouched
I still play 4 Horsemen 1 till this day! They spittin crazy and the track my god
I lived off of Clue mix tapes especially the 1st 10 songs was always 🔥
This one was fire, the humbleness of Clue and genuine person… BUT i can’t believe y’all slept on the Black Album, didn’t even mention it. I’m with Clue on Dynasty too, it was fire.
Math your doing well Sir!! Keep goi going
Gangsta Nation was the Budden & Game freestyle instrumental
Steve Stoute was Pillow Talkin between Nas & Hov..😎✌
This is becoming my favorite hip hop pod! My only complaint is the Surf subliminal on the intro! Niggaz give him to much light💯
The freestyle that Esso mentioned from Jayz is on The Professional 2 mixtape.
I was heavy on Clue here in DC/DMV in the 90s!! #SALUTE
Just Talking SHIFT on TH-cam and this is podcast is 🔥
Math got another one 🔥 🔥🔥 🔥 🔥
