BUN B & STATIK SELEKTAH DEBATE WHETHER IT'S EASIER TO BREAK ARTIST FROM NY VS HOUSTON DO YOU AGREE? 

Cutting off Bun B during a hip hop discussion is madness to me

Bun didn’t tell a lie. The weed correlation was a perfect analogy

For years NY played the gatekeepers for Hip-hop and didn't want nothing to do with the south. But once we had motion they wanted to ride our wave. Now you complain about how hard it is for a deal when you could walk down the street to drop a demo, when we had to have a movement behind us just to get a meeting. 😂😂😂 Thank god for J.Prince, Master P, and Baby for hustling and putting on for the South

Uncle Bun is speaking facts on facts in this clip.

Bun B specifically said in the early hiphop years he started in 92. They talking about the last 10-12 years

50 Cent was a bad example because everybody knows 50 Cent was BLACKBALLED by the major labels in NYC.

Protect Bun at all costs

I can't stand when someone wants to be so RITE that they ignore FACTS..... When NY controlled the radio, it was mostly NY Rappers coming out,

The ending argument with bun b was gold 👌🏼

Them old school southern OG’s stay spitting game✊🏿

How could anyone sitting in any of those chairs dispute Bun?

Bun B. asked if they were filming because he didn’t want to believe Math was about the let the barber touch him up while the interview started.

THANK YOU BUN B! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 FACTS 💯

PREACH BUN !! Y’all hear him but y’all not listening!!!!!!!!

The haircut is mad disrespectful.

That last line from Bun had so many layers 🤌🏾

NY wants to fast forward over the decades when they shitted on the south in the 70,80 90,early 2000’s not signing the south artist or collaborating with the south artist. Dre said it best “The South got something to say”.

son gettin a lineup when his line was already clean.

Gotta agree about the Jeezy mention. Although Jay was the first to say im not a rapper, im a hustla, when Jeezy came in saying the same thing, dope boys/hustlas turned rappers started coming out of the damn woodwork. Rap went from a craft to a just a hustle. Now every drug dealer, pimp, stripper, gang member etc, etc, wants to rap although they have zero skills. Its just a HUSTLE to them.

getting a line-up with Bun B across from you is disrespectful

I've never seen Math get a shape-up during an interview 😆😆😆

What hair cut Math need? This is swaying towards corny now.

This why enjoy and love watching Bun B interviews it comes wit wisdom and knowledge 👍

Bruh, i be crossing my fingers like "please dont play Im Single at the beginning "😂

Bun basically said NY can put on NY rappers if they put on NY

Go back to using these thumbnails. It's simple and clear.

New York is the finale frontier for Mr Bun to be the Pattie melt 1600 years ago

Lining up a ball head and interview with Bun B at the same time is super crazy and mad disrespectful. This is the worst interview ever.

Math and Mecca are so good at being loud and wrong

Did Hoffa really need a shape up in the middle of an interview?

I admire Bun B so much. Super intelligent guy.

That Cut off was 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Change the title to - Texas artist is educating all the New Yorkers in the room. Bun B dropped 💎 and Statik understood the mission.✅

Once Lil' Wayne came out,...it was game over in New York!!! The young kids in 106th and Park, gravitated down south! 🤣😂😂

Nobody Cares About Hiphop Anymore, It’s About Social Media And Podcast Now

*Most people only interact with the IRS when they file their individual income tax return. Some people haven't had to file returns in the past but now need to because they've become eligible for tax credits, and filing a return is the only way to get those credits. When it comes to your taxes and refunds, it's important to be well-informed and prepared.*

I don’t even think it matters where you’re from anymore. Major labels don’t even want you unless you got a song moving already independently. They wait for someone to have a song to go viral and then try to be the first to get to them. Artist these days aren’t thinking about a record deal like they used to

OG speaking facts

The dirt weed vs dro analogy was awesome.

Great conversation and debate. Love It! Everybody had some fair points.

The ending was cold as ice

Reallu loving the guests math !!! Loving this bun b ones !

I have a lot to say. First of all, like others have said, Math shouldn't have been getting a trim while this interview was going on. Secondly, why are they discussing major labels' artist selection process when artists don't even have to go that route nowadays? When artists decide to sign with majors nowadays, it's for more exposure. And even with that I don't think it's a smart move unless they're big enough to negotiate a deal they would never offer the average artist. And chances are very slim that a new artist would have the leverage to negotiate a fair deal on a major. Then, you got Mecca arguing with the OG like he would know more about how it works than Bun would. And it's just too many mfers talking in that room! The guest shouldn't have to yell over everybody else to be heard. And another thing. It is annoying to have to skip Math's songs in the beginning. And once the sound effect goes off where they cut the segment, I'm out. Math gets good guests, but the only reason he gets a lot of forgiveness for what he does wrong on the podcast is because he was known already from the battle rap scene. I still remember dude who's not there anymore was sleeping during a taping. Are you kidding me?

Bun B is stating the facts. Geto Boys rapped about this in ‘Do it like a GO’ back in ‘89 where they felt New York wasn’t showing them love.

They don't care about being good they care about being famous 💯 facts.

Thank for you for Bun B!

Bun B last analogy is been my Major argument the last 20 years. The consumers choices are not even close to mine. 💯🎯👑

Bun spitting fax

Big Bun in da building, one of the great emcees of all time. Even when speaking it sounds like bars. ✊🏾💯 UGK Lord Jamar and Keith Murray live wires connect on don’t be a menace soundtrack still fire, RIP Pimp C UGK4Life

Bun B one of the few actual REAL people to sit in that seat

Hoffa gang, really enjoying this Bun B interview, keep up the good work black man...

math keep killing it. bun b brings knowledge, and its good to see him get messages out. and half the people complaining about getting a cut while bun b is there, IN A BARBER SHOP, also bootleg events or are disrespectful in public. no one in here can cast the first stone. mind on the mission and execute. stay up my guys

Brother Bun B is telling the truth....they use to laugh at the South.....the South was base on owning our own band and the powers that be didn't believe in The Black Community owning our own brand this is facts......

This going to be a dope interview! 🔥

Bobby Shmurda Dave East ASAP Mob(Rocky, Ferg) Pop Smoke Action Bronson Joey Badass Fred Da Godson Lots of NYC artist came out from under NYC labels. It's just that NYC time came and went and Hip Hop is more even playing field.

Yall better put respect on Bun name!!!!!! He know what tf he's talking about!!

From NY and I'd Break a H-Town Rapper over a New York Rapper any Day... That's my Personal Opinion however sticking to his Question. Hip-hop is Regional also NY doesn't stick Together Like the South definitely has Motion always has since the Luke Records, Tony Draper Suave House Days, NY kinda like Philly and NJ it's kinda hard for Rappers to Work together or even Feel the New Movement I Remember people back in 2016 wasn't Feeling Westside Gunn x Benny the Butcher x Conway the Machine x Griselda x Fashion Rebels x Roc Marciano x Durag Dynasty x Knowledge the Pirate x Hus tha Kingpin x Rozewood x ALC x AA Rashid x United Front x OBH x Young Chris x Vodka x Al Bee Al x Fred da Godson x Axel Aleon x Dark Lo x VDon x Nicholas Craven x Tha God Fahim x Mach-Hommy People in NYC wasn't feeling the Birth of These artist Movement.

Excellent interview! ❤❤❤❤❤

THANK YOU BUN B!!! I've Been Expressing This For Years! It's All About The Consumer Not The Artists! Nas Put Out 6 Quality Albums In 3 Years Yet None Of Them Sold What He Used To... Drake Put Out The Shit He Did And Look What He Sold... Man Word To Killer Mike From 2003 "Rap Is Dead"....

Yoooo, math getting his facial hair cut is fuckin corny during an interview. Math really think he’s the shit. And he always low key trying to brag about how tough he is.

Math's songs at the beginning of these are getting more and more excruciating

What Bun B is talking about in the early years of hip hop when A&Rs was signing artists solely off personal taste when labels where actually developing talent . Nowadays they looking at social media numbers. A new york executive is looking at numbers more than the region an artist is from

Bun B is talking about the 90s when he came up. All the artist from new York they naming is from the 2000's

These dudes ain’t listening to Bun. They just listening to respond. Respect to Uncle Bun. Bun know what he’s talking about. 💯

Bun is right. There’s a lot of artist but there’s only a few that will only generate real wealth from it. Today’s rap is like having a middle class 9 to 5 job. You can be hot locally and make a few 100,000 a year or month if you are really hot. And just tour locally. There’s only a few that will generate millions and have longevity. The rest will eventually die out

Sounds like homie tryna blame 50 for NY failure in rap. No its the labels who did it.

Lol bra put the barber cape on math idk why that caught me off guard 😂

Finally we seeing someone actually getting a cut in a barbershop even tho math has a baldy. I wonder how many people be trying to come in and get a cut while they doing interviews 🤔 lol 😂

Is this a real question? 80's & 90's rappers from NY won the geography lottery

Math and Mecca you two are not in the music industry, wtf are you debating with a vet from the industry!!! Mecca relax wtf do you know, quiet down, you to math

“Demo’s on desk” has been dead for almost 20 years.

Math really trying to argue with a 30 year vet…

We as a community are missing the problem, how is Hip Hop 50 years in the making and all we are discussing who is from what area when we should be focused on how do we build schools, hospitals, hotels and other businesses! Let's Build Together👊🏾

Oooh shit, I was waiting for this episode

Is math getting a line up the reason Bun B asking if they are filming I would not have thought it was disrespectful until reading other comments

I love the authenticity of this interview Bun B spoke all facts. Barber was in motion 👍🏽 RIH Pimp C Happy New Years Y'all Be Great 😁

Lotta the NYC artists in the 2000s and 2010s kept getting clipped and locked up too. The streets almost got Fif outta here 😂. But RIP Half-A-Mil, Stack Bundles, Chinx, Pop Smoke 🙏🏿 🕊️ Max doing 75... Lotta talent but alot of nonsense that aint got nothing to do with music too

Statik Selektah dropping gems again!!

Stop cutting g off the guest jesus.....too much cross talk

Man, I just know that in another dimension somewhere Pimp C is on the show with my nigga Bun layin down some game! Great interview can’t wait to watch it in its entirety and RIP Pimp C

Perfect bar to end the clip!! 🔥🔥🔥

Mecc be killing my nerves lol. Sometimes he think he know everything 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️😂😂

Its not in the hands of the consumer. Its in the hands of the record labels who sit amongst each other and shift the direction of the music to where now the consumer goes in tgat direction in the next generation.

"Are we filming" 😂😂😂 iykyk

Bun asking are we filming speaks....volumes😂

After the 2000's we in NYC lost all hometown advantages because people from the 90's kept in the industry and the south had all the legends and top new artist. Nowadays locals in NYC are sounding like southerners so they get passed on by the big labels. NYC gotta support or locals & underground artist. LA is fine at supporting the local acts & Chicago guys blow up with outsiders support inspite of gang bs. NY/east coast artist want that million dollar deal off the rip if they have any fanbase or talent so we get deals once desperate or compromised in or greed/expansiveness.

Bun right though to a degree. There are many real rappers out and they don’t get the same praise or acknowledgement. Eminem even mentioned on his last album about how there are many talented rappers who will never reach the level that Jcole or Wayne is. That’s in part due to the labels and the consumer.

This was a really good topic!!! I feel like New York fell off back in the late 90’s early 00’s despite success from artist like Ja Rule, DMX, Jay Z, and company. The situation with East Coast/West Coast, which in my opinion was heavily pushed by an agenda, affected NY to where it never fully recovered and after that, the South took the crown. Radio played a role in where NY now fits into Hip Hop Rosen pole, because some of the more famous NY DJ’s played more out-of-state music than from local or NY born artist. Music stations have the power of influence, especially in the early 00’s.

‘If you could buck a gurl in a bucket then why hustle for a Benz?’ BARS

Math transformed into Bun B at 5:04 😂😂😂😂

Math just proved his point with that analogy at 2:40.

I'm a man up this is a real barbershop conversation 😂😂😂😂😂

Ok I like this ? Thank you for sharing your perspective

That last quote Bun said is Facts .........

Y’all NOT listening to what HE saying! He said a NEW YORK born record A&R!! He didn’t say a dude from Atlanta(Qawuan). And Bun is speaking on HIS experience! How the fuck are y’all going to tell a man HIS LIVED EXPERIENCE. Is wrong??

OG Bun on point! Went to NYC for several years meeting with labels before I got my first billboard entry, indie. I also brought several artists to Sick before & while he was A&R at Atlantic. We even did headlining shows & won mixtape awards in NYC still no deal till we put them numbers up. Point is those NY A&R’s know that boyz are around the corner from the labels talkin bout they hot. If ya really hot ya gotta put them numbers up!

Keep on pushing is still one of my favorite bun b tracks

I'm from NY and can't front Bun B definitely has a point. Mecca bringing up Nicki and 50 but they are huge exceptions to that situation.

They just wanna argue but bun b is right

Exactly Bun 💯
