MY EXPERT OPINION EP 

the interview effortlessly went full circle, the beginning, the drama, the downfall and the come back, good interview

Dope ep.🔥Berg is a great story teller. M.Hoffa:"You Got To Learn From Other People's Mistakes Because You Don't Live Long Enough To Make Them all Yourself" Don't let it pass Over your Head🎯👑

Love Hitmaka’s story! We watched his growth in the industry. Every interview he does is entertaining and he humble. MEO is getting better with time 🙌🏾

I remember designing his 1st website back in the day as Young Berg. I still got some of the MP3 files sent to put on the site. It was only a few years ago that I realized he was Hitmaka now! Definitely smiling proud to see his transition!

I've been watching since day 1 and I can honestly say that when Math looks in the camera and said "You have no excuse" I said out loud "this is the one" congratulations on your evolution. 👏

Every episode Math is talking less, and less and less..... He's either learning from his own work or a student of the greats. The best interviewers listen 90% of the time n talk 10.

He don’t need a documentary, he need a series. Power style show.

Esso: “How was your day today?” Math: “No, wait, wait! Before we get into that…” 🤦🏾 LOL! Let ‘em speak, Math!

This man know he's an inspiration and still stays humble. Learn something people.

Math Hoffa the way that you conduct interviews is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 keep coming with the great content 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I just did research on Spring Creek Academy and there is so many documentaries and articles about how they brutally abused and beaten children for years until being shut down in the late 2000s please bring hit maker back on the show to truly dissect and elaborate on his trauma and experiences there as this may help tons of other kids who've also expressed it well who can relate. please Math Hoffa bring him back to explain more of them

Berg is an old young dude he’s been around a long long time putting in work great interview

This session really showed the entire crews growth. Not just Math. Yall figured out how to stop interviewing and start guiding the conversation. This is now the difference btwn MIO and Drink champs. I liked them for the fun but I come to MIO for the insight. #spreadloveisthebrooklynway

They took the chain but couldn’t take his AMBITION..💯💯BERG A LEGEND Glad They giving him his 💐

I couldn't wait to see this Hitmaka/Berg interview. Thank you Math💯. Btw your Royce interview was very introspective. Y'all asked all the right questions. Salute to the best podcast moving My Expert Opinion💯 PS. The boi ES$O got some heat on his feet🔥

I'm only 24 I was 5 when I caught the berg era the way the media outlets portrayed him to be made Alot of us either dislike or don't follow up on him but when you watch this and hear his story you get a whole different demeanor on bro

On the real.......... Can we get an Esso interview? Dude is full of info. I know that he got a story to tell.

11:22 😂😂😂 math face That's exactly I felt at this point in the interview

Thanks!One of the best interviews love a redemption story.

This was phenomenal!!! Math... You are great! Hitmaka is a inspiration. Straight up.

Just left the royce5’9 one for this😂😂😂 he was using to many words and that damn straw.

You Know Math Podcast Made It When We Know His "First Time Listening To Jeezy He Woke Up In A Crack Spot" ..Just Like We Know Vlad Story about "He Tried To Buy A Brick And Got Robbed" 😂😂😂MEO Best Podcast

The Dmx story is fucking hilarious 😂

Young Berg changing to Hitmaka is basically his MF DOOM moment lol

That’s crazy. DMX treated his dogs pups like any other rapper would treat a chain that represented the group. It’s no different when having a dog when that’s what DMX was known for. And you could tell that it was significant because he told Berg to take care of it and always have it with him. A rapper would give a chain to his signee and tell him to move in the same way. It’s really profound more than any piece of jewelry could ever compare to. RIP a Legend 🙏🏾

That’s how u kne us Chicago niggas 🔥🔥🔥🔥✅ Shoutout Berg Aka Hitmaka!

Very smart brother! I remember you being with my cuz in the Chi and him saying you was bout to blow up!!! And you Did! And when you was going thru all that Drama and you being from the Chi that Sh*t didn't digest well here, it's like he's 1 of ours no matter what he did don't put your hands on him! But Lil Bruh the way you reinvented yourself and came back Hitting them wit the Hits That's the Greatest revenge!!! Keep prospering Lil Bruh! 💯

YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE. UNBELIEVABLE TRUTH KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 👍🏿 👌🏿 👏🏿

“The business” was that jam!

amazing interview. had no idea hitmaka had such a crazy story.

NEEK BUCKS IN THE CUT! slept on artist that brother can RAP!

One thing MOE does that no other podcast does is make me have a new found respect for people that I thought were goofies.

Berg was the first Earl Sweatshirt. Crazyyyyy 😭😂

Hitmaka has been to therapy. I can tell because when a black man take advantage of talk therapy they learn to see from various perspectives. ❤

This nigga Math is becoming a master interviewer. He be asking all the right questions.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 interview! Glad to see his transition and growth! Looking forward to his documentary, s/o to Hitmaka!

☀️🍇🖤Hitmaka, you have some fascinating stories. We want to see a movie about your life! You're talent is stunning......your journey is film worthy! Seriously, make it happen! Math, your interviews are unrivaled!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

🗣This an real Chicago classic Ice B💚😤

I met DMX through DJ LS1 and I met LS through DJ Irie in Coconut Grove Miami in an underground club and it was a very humbling experience... We shook hands and he was like pleasure to me you. We were sitting all the way in the VIP in the right corner of the club with with like 5 security and a bunch of pretty hard dudes on top of that.

Good interview Math

@MATH HOFFA what Hitmaka is referring to at @39:34 is a very famous and traumatic kidnapping experiance called an "Elan Snatch", made famous by the Cult/Boarding schools Elan that used to exist for "Tough Love" for "Troubled Kids". Spring Creek Academy definitely got thier game from them. They usually come in the dead of early morning between 2am - 3am let in by the parents, who then lead them into your room where the workers literally wake you up outta your sleep to being hog tied with plastic zip ties, throw you into a painter's van with no windows, and drive you off 12 hours to Maine/Rhode Island/Wyoming/West Virginia/Utah/Montana somewhere secluded . The fact that his own mother helped expidite the process knowing the school's reputation or not, is something i'm not sure I could get past myself. The whole organization and the one's it inspired in the field of "Tough Love Schools" ended up being a complete cesspool of trauma bonding, money racketeering, and cult grooming, resulting in deaths. An incredible documentary about this entre subject can actually be found on RU-vid by Nexpo. I'ts a definite must watch: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7eM7pb5M5DU.html . Shit is beyond horrible what they did to them kids. A lot of them now either need life long therapy, or deleted themselves. There's whole Reddits on Elan Schools.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 that was a real good interview!!! one of the best interviews i done seen in a whileeee

Berg need to get the documentary out I wanna watch that, by far one of the most entertaining stories I've heard in hip-hop it's so different.

He is the true definition of patience, hardworking, and keeping God First If anybody know his story he was counted out and you can’t hold God favorites down

mad respect to berg.. great story

Berg gets so much hate but I’m glad he was able to reinvent his self in the industry, you just have to put in the work, HITMAKA!!

Like that tink album, salute hitmaka✊🏾 💯more blessings in 23

Yo when I first watch this I was tripping like how tf you run from millions to the hood to sell crack n all type of goofy shit but when I really sit back n analyze bro story this is beautiful mans was truly driven to this music shit hell or high water he was willing to go against everything to get it even living comfortable with both parents and millions n look at bro now really made that shit happen thru all the bs bounced back to be one of the top song writers/ producers the perfect storm to greatness bless bro 💪🏾🙏🏾 had they just believed in his dream he woulda probably avoided almost of the madness this just made me go ever harder for my sons dream!!!

16:04 Hitmaka just snitched on hip-hop & Rap 😂 Delores C. Tucker would love to hear that.

Can't wait for the documentary

I real shit loved this interview in its totality. Shit was awesome. He is on age with me so I can relate to the time frames he mention. But Method man is next on the list I love listening to.

Look at bro face at 57:27 math cut him off the whole interview lol

Absolutely sick episode, so much to learn from his experiences. This was a epic interview

This was fire 🔥. I don’t even know the young man by face but knew his music. Nice.

One of the best podcasts, watch every episode💯

Back to Back to Back Dope interviews 🔥🔥🔥 MEO best show in Hip Hop.

I'll be honest I haven't heard from this guy for about 15 or so years, so to see him UP in the industry is like WOAH🔥 hoffagang

tell me this dude HitMaka life don't sound like Tariq from POWER ten years later

USING CONDOMS AIN'T A SACRIFICE - MATH 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I salute Berg for his grind and evolution. Like many of us, I clowned Berg for all the stuff he got into, especially that Transformer Chain, but homie is about his paper/grind and as Hitmaka he out here doing dope stuff....don't get it twisted though, The Business, Sexy Lady and that one joint w/ Twista were from his EP years ago were fire....that one joint he did for DMX was aite though.

There ain't nothing like a promotion🤑🤷🏽🤑

His documentary gonna be 🔥

Just listened to Dogs 4 Life from the movie soundtrack lol.Hitmaka sounded like lil bow wow with more street raps 🤣🤣🤣

They hollerin Bump give the game back/ That’ll be the day I give Yung Berg his chain back!

Definitely best episode so far wild ass story that berg went through and is very inspiring salute to that man

Paris and other celebrities talk about that same boarding school type place.

Great great interview loved this so much thank you for this math so inspiring!

That camp/boarding school deal sounds like when Earl Sweatshirt's mother sent him to one in Samoa. WILD.

Decept and BMW 🤣

Lol at “Press 3 and run in the booth”. Shout out to Pro Tools

At the end of the show you can see math soaking up all the knowledge.. Student of the game

I'm with MATH, I'm ready for this Doc and before this interview, I didn't give a shyt about Hitmaker/. #TRUESTORY

I fucks wit it, that was dope math when turned around like no excuses. I needed that 💯

@24:10 Acme Plastics.Cartoon Network era.

Chicago boys be having the best stories for real tho

Phuck a doc, Berg need to turn his story into a series like some Raising Kanan type sht 🔥🔥🔥

His intro to the music industry is vary dark and occultish , they did ask the right questions. What grown man sells drugs with bad ass rich spoiled black kids

Yall got to get Plies on here too

Ya gotta learn from other people mistakes because you don’t live long enough to make them all by yourself. - MATH Looking forward to HITMAKA documentary great episode.

Yooooo mathhhhh! I am athlete podcast . You got em watchin😅😅

Never noticed his fingers til now dats from making them 🔥 a** beats

At the time of the chain situation. Detroit Street rappers didn't really believe in getting record deals. So, they weren't chasing radio or things like that. And Trick Trick and his crew were called the Goon Squad. And they're tapped in in the city
