"MOST OF THE GREATEST MUSIC WAS MADE OFF C0K3!!!" BUN B & STATIK SELEKTAH TALK LIFESTYLES 

Bruh! These intro songs are KILLING ME… 🤦🏽‍♂️ I just wanna hear this dope convo with Bun B y’all got goin’ on…

Thank you so much for this conversation. MECCA & BUN NEED A SPECIAL POD!

Salute to Bun B and Statik, love hearing these types of discussions

The last statement was 100% it. We come from areas that are starving for representation I remember vividly hearing songs from New York that never said anything about where I'm from. Naughty by nature had a song that highlighted all of the cities that was supposed to be the hip Hop cities " NY niccas are the craziest, philly niccas are the craziest. Coming from Jackson Mississippi I was hoping that they would say anything close to me. But it never happened. Master p blew up in the south because on"I'm Bout It", he named all the small southern cities that never got shine, port Arthur, Shreveport, jacktow, Arkansas. He finally said our name on a nationwide setting. Giving us a voice. This is when the shift occurred

Bun is definitely on point with the numbers game in the South. I'm from NC, and we listened to up North artists. But when I moved to GA, they never played those artists. It was all UGK, 8 Ball and MJG, etc..... So he's right the fans did that

Please get KeKe on next. Thanks you from bringing Dirty South artist to your Pod. I'm from Louisiana and I grew up on SUC music.

That's the biggest issue people didn't understand how big the South was and that it was just like the boroughs. Every part of the South was different but originally everybody thought the South was one big country and one accent. I heard Big Daddy Kane say on the 85 South show that he was doing the movie tombstone so he went down to Carolina to listen to his cousins talk to perfect is his accent. The only problem with what he said is that the role was supposed to be a cowboy that was from New Orleans. Soon as I heard that and I'm sure all the other southern people that heard that said Carolina has nothing to do with New Orleans and how they sound. That was the ignorance of other regions thinking that the South was just one big place. It's also the reason why hip hop has been in the South for so long. It has rolled around different regions of the South, that are as diverse as the five boroughs is to New York. Florida, then Houston, then NO, then Atlanta, then Memphis, then back to Houston, Mississippi, Carolina, Houston then back to ATL. With all that being said the major thing was that we had the largest amount of black people in the South and the music tapped into our tribal nature, beat and rhythm wise. It was less about the brain and more about the heart and soul

Growing up in the deep South in the 80's I did not get the Boom Bap until one day I was walking through Manhattan listening to Tribe and it hit me. I WAS LIKE WHOA..

In 1992 when UGK dropped "Something Good", I was stationed in Texas.. That joint was in constant rotation!

Bun B truly one of the most intelligent rappers around

Black American Cuture=Hip Hop…. Everything else is tethering off of what’s been attached

Hip hop is written in stone the Stone Age is prehistoric it’s a galaxy highway 2 years in Killeen 2001

Bun B is definitely Hip Hop legend BUT even more important he actually has become a better, wiser human being over the decades of being in the industry. The nuggets he just drops w/o even blinking is a GOD sent. Salute to Port Arthur and H-Town.

Whoa....this man said you can't educate through reggae music. Don't speak on reggae, my man. No single artist taught me more philosophy than Bob Marley. Steel Pulse and Third World both have tons of educational content in their music.

As a man from the SOUTH i love this. Once 2003 hit it was over for all regions musically. The South has a stranglehold on the industry and it hasn't let up. Artist were so starved for representation that produced work you couldn't deny. It played everywhere

Fvckin pure gold episode!💯

Ayeeee my guy brought back that 🔥 intro. Can’t have just 1 like a Pringleeeeeeeeeeeee

Bob Marley spoke nothing but jewels 💎 bad analogy

"Butterfly Kisses" (by Bob Carlisle) is the "rock" song, about a daughter, that Bun is talking about.

The South went through the same thing the Midwest is going through now, because we have to fight to get the industry to understand that the same relatable stories, material, & Lifestyle is going on in the Midwest. The west coast got the opportunity first then the south and now the Midwest is finally getting a consistent run but it’s still plenty of untapped talent in the Midwest!

Personally i think people limited themselves to what they listened to back in the 90s. I live in Omaha in the middle of the country, and we were listening to everything. Me and my brother were bumping music from every regions back then, but we were just music heads.

Can’t do in a reggae song ? Bro you def know nothing about reggae

Math thanks 4 bringin Bun n!!!!

The one thing I never understood, is. Why the majority of people from New York get mad when people say they used to shit on anyone else that wasn't from New York,? I don't get why that such a touchy topic, it's the fucking truth, Bun kept saying, in the 90's...not now Mecca and Math...then, in that time frame, in that space. No one from outside was getting in at that time, Mecca and Math.

He said the message can be prevented easier and faster in a hip-hop song. That's why Rap is pushed the way it is because it can influence faster and easier than any other genre

Burger Bun is truly an Under Ground King

Shit UGK - "Cocaine" Featuring Rick Ross Is A Dope Track And Hell BUN B's Verse Had A XXL "Train Of Thought" Section Biggin' It Up!!! I Was Glad They Gave Bun His Props Cause That Verse Is Dope!

KEEP THESE THUMBNAILS PLEASE MATH - Simple And Better

as a beatmaker this segment spoke to my subconscious in many different ways

Damn I never even realized that. Hip hop really does represent life full circle, represents every way and walk of life.. u could relate to the music being broke and the struggle…making $ the hustle the come up…relate if you’re rich, the flossin, ballin showin out, the partying, celebrating.. every culture and color can relate. Hip hop is for real the music of the world

Kiss from a rose Seal RIP Amp Fiddler he was one of the keyboard players on that Joint

Math been dropping some 🔥 music in the intro’s

Record store owners wouldn’t purchase records especially in Bulk for artists popular in another town. It might come down to sales and worrying about the retail value of a Hosuton artist in a New York store or vice versa.

Math you song tuff dawg I am single😂💯💯

Man we jam ugk in Florida and Texas music sense they came out

PEACE TO MECCA...WORD!

Yu the greatest to transition to different platforms and elevate 📈to the max. Major takeoff 🚀

Honorable mention. Leak. Put some respect on wet , name!!!

Yo im singllleeeee in the club trying to mingleeee ‼️😂

Great conversation

All imma say is "Damn I'm cold" is classic, wayne never had to go in like that

Hoffa just proved he ain know nuttn bout REGGAE MUSIC 🎶

Dope az Coat/Jacket Bub B.Salute!!

ayo math, when you gonna have someone from UK? May I suggest a guest? The trendsetting drill producer M1onTheBeat

"Turn it upside down then po' it out for my lil' bro Then pass me another one so I can po' out a lil' mo' Fresher than ozium, cleaner than wax floors I'm, slick as linoleum, swingin them 'llac do's"- Bun Seal had discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE).

12:04 i love this song

@8:48...It's was NY's cockiness and the fact Hip Hop was Created there is why it was messed up. NY was like.."If ain't from NY, it was trash and didn't show ANY outsiders some love til MTV raps came out

That “single” joint c’mon Math. Even the Pringle bar is off. That’s a Lays w/that phrase “can’t only have one”.

Matha those intros 🙃👀

The south and the Midwest are the two biggest regions….the south realized it and took the fvck off 🚀🚀🚀 the Midwest is just starting to realize it and they are taking off 🚀🚀🚀 it’s not just Chicago, now is Milwaukee, Michigan, Ohio, etc getting that motion

Hip hop is life

Bun stay spittin fact!

HOFFA GANG!!!!!!

Hip hop had 2 be in the west, south, overseas also. Natural progression.

Wait wait wait so Seal’s kiss from a 🌹 was about yayo (not tony)?!? Pure ❄️☃️⛄️🌨️. I remember that in the Batman Forever movie. My childhood been bamboozled and led astray.

I’m sure a retail outlet in every state and city would stock different music determined on what they believe would be marketable and have a high sales value in a particular state or city.

6:02 this is the reason Bun B did the track with Jay z. Even pimp realized after the fact it really out them on all over.

How do you use lays potato chips slogan for pringles

White lines. Cream Pusha man. Feds watching Tony Montana

Midnite has more education within one LP then rappers whole careers including host Reggae been educational for 50 years. Wild statement. For anyone who disagree go and listen to the lyrics of Vaughn Benjamin (RIP)

I'm gonna forgive math for that reggae statement. Iykyk.. no music has more message in it then reggae music.

Yeah I’m SINNGGGLLLLEE 😂

Math you bugging a reggae song bro that is the essence of reggae

I didn't go to Texas to hear UGK or even before that Geto Boys!!!

Funny how Bun mentioned Katt

Crazy to see Kelly Rowland on a airborne commerical.

I disagree with Bun. I do enjoy the fact other genres employ allegory... Hip Hop sometimes is too dumbed down and to the point.

No message in reggae?? 😂😂😂 literally the music of freedom fighters since the 60s,70s… ie; Bob Marley, Peter Tosh. The soundtrack to Zimbabwe’s revolution, 😂Cmon fam you from Brooklyn, you sound crazy 🤦🏿‍♂️

Hip hop is crossed over the world most of commercials have some type of hip-hop in it. Commercials that would never had it 20years ago.

It’s the rhyming. Kids learn best through rhyming. Brainwashing happens best through riddles and rhyming.

Bun B for President #2024

✊🏾 🧠

🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

My first time seeing how static selectah look

IN’NA CLUB, TRYN’A MIIIIIINGLE🎶🎵

Rage Against the Machine definitely got their message across but then again Zac was “rapping”.

Where my dogs at 🐕 🐕 🐕 ruff ruff ruff

🎯🎯🎯🎯

can't educate you in a raggae song? LOL..this guy isn't carribean

And they'll all probably be too embarrassed to say they like coke... 😂😂😂...

This is a great interview and I like how mecca explained the not wanting to buy your CD in newyork as against people being interested to buy it in the south states e g Texas , newyork prolr from my research and very cocky and rude abd fast ,so for 50cent to have sold that much of CDs in the 2000s in newyork city meabs he had yi be bery good and his style and hustle/ work drive and sale drive was impeccable facts

I think I speak for everyone when I say we prefer math as a show host

CAN'T have one just like a Pringle.........

Don’t speak on reggae again please….with all of the knowledge they’ve inspired for generations across the world. It still doesn’t take anything from hip hop

It’s crazy cause he’s from either Barbados or Trinidad and actually lived there at some point

Bun is really breaking it down cause when anybody from down south hear the north no city from up north is recognized as much as New York down south so New York rappers don't kno how much respect that the south give them because that wall has been up from the beginning of time that New York was never really accepted any body......

As a NYer i need NY rap... I cant relate to country accents and country ass lyrics when im rocking tims and hitting the concrete

And that chocolate thai in the 90s

WHY THE FUX DIDNT YOU ASK HIM ABOUT BUDDY? Pimp C is rollin in his grave as we speak.

I can't lie if Math get his tracks produced , it might go. ☝🏾💯🤷🏾‍♂️

Drinking , drugs you open the doors for demons to come in thus Satan put in his message !

Reggae!!! The song designed to share messages.

“Nobody says east coast” is a weird statement 8:23

Hip hop is certainly cool but NOBODY CAN STOP REGGAE neither Afro Beats. Open your horizons my people

After looking at multiple comments sections tonight I realized all over again how many of y'all aren't listening in depth or making sure of what you heard before u get to firing off against it...dammit boy lol

This South vs NYC vs West debate getting old and hiphop is DYING. This convo gotta end

🫡

Where Tf Is Single @??

Reggae can’t convey a message?!? two words: One Love

Bob Marley will give you a clear message .. all his songs had a message!!!!
