Pretty much this

Interview questions weren't great but AZ was disengaged from the gate and his BagFuel interview was only slightly better, it wasn't that compelling either

AZ is a great artist but he just is a boring interview I think. It happens.

I mean...its a catch 22. Like some artists are to themselves, but at the same time have a unique cadence on the mic. For all we know, AZ is a crazy introvert, but you couldn't tell with how he spits and etc.

At least he actually gave legit answers, compared to the awkwardness of some interviews such as this blassic:

Yeah, that's why I think interviewing is not as easy as just asking questions. Comfortability plays a big role in what kinda interview you're going to get 9 times out of 10.

I think also Math has to try avoid doing "press run" interviews. AZ doesn't do interviews and more than likely AZ only agreed to do the show because his album is about to drop and he's trying to get as much promo he can for his project and Math has a big podcast. But his podcast really isn't built around promoting your new stuff as much as it's about going over your career highlights and lowlights. He probably never saw the show before honestly.

Thats why most of the interviewers nowadays do this weird awkward steez, to get a person somewhat comfortable to answer the legit questions. The gawd would easily pry some answers out of AZ without any sort of effort, just a dusty record from 1988 that AZ always wanted:

Funny enough, I remember he said his interview with Nas was the most awkward one, Nas didn't really fukk with his style of interview :mjlol:

What‘s AZ’s net worth and how do his sales compare to that of an independent Bay Area artist like J Stalin or something?

Na
The point is MEO is known for asking those type of questions. This aint a brand new show lol

"What was your thought process when making XYZ album"
"When you went to jail, what went through your head? Walk me through it..."
"You shot 10 nikkas as a toddler (allegedly), what would you say made you like that?"

and then Math is gonna relate it to his upbringing. Mecca is gonna sound like Mr Know-It-All music guru/Therapist

its what they do. If it aint your cup of tea, go to Drink Champs or Talib Kweli show or something I dunno
I don’t consider that feel good touchy mental health, that’s just basic questions

I notice that in my own life…when you don’t partake in the backbiting and gossip and chatty party activities you will get an “he’s conceited, he arrogant, he thinks he’s better than everybody” stamp on you, even amongst family, shyt is weird. Jay-z nipped it in the bud perfectly..






My favorite Jay story about that same mentality was he was beefing with somebody, can’t remember who, and they ended up deading it. The dude said while him and jay were peacing it up dude was like ‘bro you did so n so, said xyz on a song’ and jay was like ok? And? :dead:

Like not even in a disrespectful way but in a ‘ok ngga that was 10 years ago what you want an apology? We eatin ngga’ :pachaha:

Probably a more extreme example but yea

I’ve always said I feel wise when I listen to an AZ album

Watching this interview——and seeing the title you chose ——really shows how far left we’ve veered. Nggas don’t even notice that cats nowadays speak in clickbait, gossipy, antagonistic ways. It takes seeing someone like AZ who’s not in the matrix not trying to impress etc to see how weird nggas have become in comparison
They've conditioned eyeballs and feminized men.

Sick world.

Even if you're aware of this, it's hard to unplug.

"WHY YES, YOU OURRRA AEEEZEEE FROM BROOKLYN RIGHT" :krs:

AZ: *I guess, you know what it is baby" :francis:

"I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU!!" :krs:

AZ: "Awww shyt dunn, no you didn't. My old wave cap!" :unimpressed:

"YES NOT JUST ANY WAVE CAP, THIS WAS THE WAVE CAP THAT YOU USED TO GET THE FRESH WAVE FOR THE MOVIE BELLY" :krs:
