I promise u it’s no disrespect I’m a get at Reagan when I get my paper right 😂. It’s 30 yrs in the making since I was a 5 yr old youngin. She’s always glowing , love that golden bronze skin.. aite enough 😂
What a fun interview. Loved every bit of it - especially what Mags said about how stories and connections tend to unfold. She is right... just when you think things are falling apart, that's when they come together.
Absolutely great interview!!! I'm not even a current hip hop fan!! My love for rap stopped the music became just being able to rhyme words without any basis to match up with it and when the mumbling started!! Tupac, Easy-E, NWA, Mc Ren, etc in my opinion was rap at its finest and I believe it's finally going back in that direction again thanks to artists like Mickey, Royce, Eminem, Lupe, etc!! Anyway sorry for the long rant but Knox Hill is a lyrical savant as far as his breaking down of bars is concerned!!! Great interview gentlemen
this was an excellent interview! its great to see Knox getting more light on what he does....he does a lot of things. i love all music, Knox has brought that need in my life to a whole different plane of existence. rap has a spot on my shelf of ecclectic taste, he has even brought that ip with his music. lately he has been really outdoing himself. this past year alone has shown how. great he truly is.every song he has put out has been better than the last. i dint know much about battle rap. then came the Ren, King Dotta and Knox battle. thank god for Black. Pegasus explaining battle rap, cause i took it in all the wrong ways. but Knox, wow, knox SHINED. his pen is lethal, but so is his humor! for me, the appeal of Knox is the intelligence that he brings to the table. sonically and as a reactor. i cant wait for the day he will be doing nationwide shows. this west coast woman is ALREADY in line! ♥️🎶🙏🎶♥️
This was a quality interview and I wouldn't have found this podcast channel except for knox hill who I found through his quality discussion about Ren's video. I find that oftentimes quality leads to quality and that's one delight about the connectivity of the internet space; it allows people to find authentic and interesting content.
Captian Karen.....I mean Cap Marvel was a trash movie. Ms. Marvel was very decent, Monica is a dope character. Ya mans at the bottom left as full of cap. The A-Forced scene in the last Avengers was trash. Dope female characters have always existed. But Marvel and especially Disney mess up female led movies......big time. Let women be women and stop trying to give them passes on the basis of their gender. I was just watching Evil Dead (2013). Mia earned the right to be called "Final Girl", so did Sigorney, Linda Hamilton and a bunch of other dope women. If Alien or Terminator was made today those women would be written in full cliche and use the power of their "femininity" to beat the baddie (see She Hulk). Great female heroes, final girls......equally to men earned the right to be called great. They didn't win because of getting participation trophies like the New Mulan movie, Cap Marvel, or Ren from Starwars. That's what made past women characters so great!
