Black need his own podcast. Big homie got alot of insight and wisdom that the next generation can use.

"Show me a man who hasn't regret., and I'll show you a man who hasn't lived." That shit hit me real hard.

Fucking Adam man. You been going hard with these interviews this year. This one was a really good one. Keep going hard my G

Always good to see an interview where a conversation can be held.

Adam you’re honestly a legend for dropping full interview first

This dude is dope, I love it when I look at my phone and a whole hour has gone by because I'm so in tune with what the person is saying. I watched this while cooking and he is really well spoken and I loved hearing his side almost felt like I went to the 90s for a couple mins.

Even tho vlad did it first, Adam did it better. Adam seems to care while vlad comes off like a leach looking for whatever headline he can get

This cat speaks with the energy of a preacher. Mad respect for making it through, from one 1st Chair to another. ;) Edit: I don't know that I could talk about someone so very close to me going through what he did with his first love without bawling my eyes out like a baby, every time. To listen to him speak of caring for her in her final days, what an outstanding human. I've helped 2 ex's through cancer, but I can't even imagine going through what he went through with someone dear to him. One love. Edit2: I knew I'd heard this man before...I fucks with Frank White for LIFE, ain't no other KING far as I'm concerened he's the GOAT. Time to give Guerilla Black the listen he deserves. And you know I bumped DMX first album outa respect after this interview too. 💯

Shout out to this guy, you can he tell he really is open minded and smart.

Adam you make my work days go by so fast with these interviews. Keep up the great work you and your team does.

ADAM!!!! you contributing to the culture bro i appreciate these interviews so much I've just gotten hip to you the last couple months i swear ive watched almost every episode. you seem like good people. BTW keep puttin Detroit artist on here, baby face ray need be on here. we up!!

This dude is a natural talker

Very intelligent man not surprising he made something of himself

This brother speaks very well💯

Solid interview. Glad to see GB

Great interview, I love it Black keep spilling it. I never got into making music n all the success, but I can completely relate u talking the life I live ,the life I saw ,especially them 90's crazy

Came back to this a year later to rewatch the part at 1:50:35 when he talks about time really stuck with me, Time,info,leverage= Money,power,respect

Good interview. Black is Dope 👊🏾

I remember buying his album in L.A. after watching his music video in B.E.T. That album 🔥🔥

I hopped on this one like hell yeah! 2 hours Gblack got a lot to say!

Shout out all my cousins in the north pole , auntie's, uncles I love ya

Love his interviews

Hes so on point he caught adams notorious "definitely" and threw it back at him lml.

Hearts of fire. Top 50 best rap songs ever.

One of the best interviews in No Jumper history. Top 10

Vlad was like yo Adam you should interview this guy

Adam is a way better interviewer than Vlad. You can just tell by the difference of Blacks demeanor and how he talks with Adam. He doesn’t have to have a guard up like with Vlad.

Great interview

I love his song "you're the one" with Mario Winans. Nostalgic.

Great interview🔥📈📈

DOPE INTERVIEW ADAM

This only having 24,000 views is criminal. Adam’s been killing it. This was a great interview

This is a good interview.

I always rocked with you black keep it up my boy

Good one!!

He is one of the best spoken men ive heard speak you can tell he think about what he gonna say

That song he did with beanie man still slaps

Very well spoken

What a well spoken young man.

This show been here through crazy ups and downs in my life 🧬 funny how that works when you actually tap into something! I would love to exchange energy with majority of the people Adam surrounds himself around as friends and also the people he interview

Get this man his own platform!!!!! I love it.

Damn no jumper. Another great interview

As he talked Menace 2 society was playing in my head from 70 to 90 almost scene for scene and I'm from Michigan damn..

Hard working man Adam 💯💯🔥

Guerilla Black should be an executive in the industry. He is well spoken and is giving a well rounded perspective on each topic covered.

this is going down as top 5 interviews of all time. people not hip to this man

It’s cool to see a rapper hold an intelligent conversation.

Adam has grown into an incredibly great interviewer. I think he's the best in the hiphop industry. He's broken some of the biggest artist. Has the most consistent content.

LOVE NO JUMPER ❤️

Eyyyyyyyyyyyy my man said celly cell fuck yeah!

This man is brilliant

i coulda swore son was from Brooklyn when I first heard him on NBA Street V3 he had the hardest joint on the whole shit too

I'll never forget

I need a interview next im a amazon driver 🤣😅✌

All for the culture 💯

Intelligent dude here

Guerilla City is a classic. Yall lying if you weren't listening to it in 2004/2005

Adam!! I love you bro!!!! You have been dropping so much fire!!!!

I always trip out when I hear ppl say they use to go to the Compton swap meet cause I live down the street from it by bullis iykyk but man i have countless memories of just walking over there in Saturdays or Sundays to buy my white tees with my homies and going to buy icees n shit lol it was dope and if you from cpt or lwd you know we got the marketplace in Lynwood now known as the plaza Mexico but back then when the Compton swap meet was around it was like if you lived south of the 105 fwy and lived closer to cpt swap meet you went there if you lived north of the 105 fwy you went to the marketplace so i hated going there we always caught fades im talking about 2001 2002 2003 now it's different of course it's a Walmart now like black said now you can walk around without anyone tripping it could still happen but not like before....bro got some shit to say that's dope

He sounds extremely intelligent. And sounds like a really good dude

Adam 22 is on the Mount Rushmore of Hip-Hop Media, Guerilla Black gave Good Game, Niggas be folding quicker than Bitches

This was a really good interview, he was able to articulate his story well .

⚡️🎒

Why do I feel like I heard this interview already? lol

❤

Adam need too give him a show

finally a guest who acknowledges that glorifying the criminal/gangster/trapping lifestyle is taking a fucked up problem worse. its one thing to be a product of your environment...its another to market that environment as a legitimate lifestyle choice to impressionable kids as if it’s the cool thing to do.

Ayyyy

Adam...... On another note,Music is not all about getting rich! Real ones know..... Shout Out Guerilla Black!💯✔

I’m dealing with the trap that Mississippi is right now. And have been all my life.

I saw the tag but I still wasn't prepared for this man to say his drug of choice was Theraflu

CLASSIC DIALOUGE INTERVIEW ADAM PUTS IT DOWN YET AGAIN!!!

Can you increase mic volumes? I gotta turn my phone all the way up to hear the conversations clearly, and then when the ads run it destroys my ears. Help us out, Adam!!

Let’s play a drinking game. Take a shot every time Guerilla Black says “You Know” 😂

can someone please tell me what kind of camo pants he rocking??

Adam started off the podcast and introduced the guy with some one I haven't listened to in a long ass time..? Strange way to start that off lol

this foo smart af

Wow I was just wondering about homie

Go listen to the very beginning of his song Compton when he says BEENIE MAN!!! He sound just like biggie but in this interview he sounds nothing like that voice he used. It makes me think he was really trying to sound like Biggie hoping people would love him for it

Wisdom

"BLUE BLUE"

You need to get Matt Cox on here.

ADAM PLEASE INTERVIEW CJ SO COOL & FUNNYMIKE ! THEIR BEEF IS HILARIOUS AND VERY WELL DOCUMENTED 😭😭😭😭

Somebody count how many time Adam moaned after black finished a sentence "mmmm"

Look at GB when Adam said George Floyd shit. 35:51

Guerilla “BloopBloop” Black

real ass nigga he did a song with beenie man from jamaica

Compton

early

This guy got famous larping as biggie

Never Forget BlackWallStreet

“In hindsight “

Vlad need to take notes on how to not fake the funk for clout as an outsider Love Adam for this

adam need to get danny duncan on here

He’s from Joliet

What part of Mississippi tho????

Who else bought his CD 💿?

I laughed when Adam said new artists won’t use samples so they don’t have to split money. This guy won’t even mention or play a video on the stream for fear of copyright claim. At the end of the day money comes first

1min making higher low with same rsi not quite oversold
