Highlights of Surf's interview:
Said a lot of people think he's arrogant and full of himself but he just talks shyt to Math, Cortez, JJDD etc...because it makes battle rap fun. Says he pulls up in ATL and kicks it with JJDD all the time, but in battle rap he's gonna talk his shyt because it makes it entertaining
Confirmed Rum Nitty at NOME (This interview probably won't be on Youtube until URL announces it). Said Rum Nitty is the only person that's ever asked to battle him aside from DNA back in the day.
Was facing first degree attempt murder and a gun charge in another county. He was facing 8 to 10. He beat both cases. They had the gun but the witness couldn't say who shot them and the cops did an illegal search of his car, so the gun charge was thrown out.
Got his upfront money for his next 3 battles
Big U been basically mentoring him since he was a teenager
Tay Roc, Jaz, Mook, Hitman, Nunn Nunn, Holzmie the God, Jay Blac and Dre were the ones in battle rap to reach out to Surf when he was in jail.Got over 2,000 letters from fans.
Said his issue with Suge isn't like if they see each other it's shots fired, just that if the shoe was on the other foot, Suge wouldn't have anything to worry about. Suge never reached out. Said he would get out of bed 6 in the morning to hear Suge's rounds, got him on URL etc.
Said he thinks Verb can beat Mook but doesn't think he will. Said Verb can out rap Mook but Mook has more angles. Him and Dre have a bet on the battle.
He said he didn't care about battle Mook for some imaginary rep, he wanted to because it's a big pay day.
Talked about if people were envious of him and Tay Roc's connection and said he didn't want to put that on people and said him and Tay Roc were always similar, Tay Roc is more of a brawler and he's more a technical fighter. Said Tay Roc will have a really hard punchline and he said his will just be more drawn out. Said Goodz needs to worry about Roc knocking his head off and not about their relationship. Said he's super proud of Roc for beating Hollow and Diz back to back, was happy Red was Champion of the year and he's bias towards Red but if you take Red out the equation and made it another battler, he said Tay Roc beating two GOATs back to back should count for beating 5 regular nikkas
Had a debate about Mook's GOAT status, Surf said he is, Dre said he isn't. Surf's argument is that regardless of how you feel about his battles, he's the reason a lot of people decided to battle rap. He said Rex is still GOAT status too even though he ruined his last couple of years doing drugs and getting beat lol. Wish he could've battled Rex on URL
Talked about Hot 97 freestyle, Dre was being overbearing about his disagreement with Surf's ranking and not being higher. Surf didn't really care. He said it's all opinion and people are entitled to like what they like. Wasn't tripping about Flex not being overly impressed.
Said he would battle Iron Solomon, he's a legend but not a GOAT, no to Cortez, no to Math when Dre said Math battled Snake Eyez, Surf said "Snake Eyez????" LMAO. He said "No disrespect, shout out to whoever that is, but he only respects wins against professional battlers." Said Ill Will win counts and he said Real Deal counts a little but he's chips. lol. He said Math and Tez always doing things to try to impress him lol.
Said he likes Twork because he stands out from his class. He said he fukks with Geechi heavy.
Said battle rap is too friendly nowadays. nikkas saying fire bars to the other nikka and nikkas be slapping fives and shyt. He said he's disgusted. Blames all the new weird nikkas. Went in on battle rappers saying "bow" every line. He was annoyed by this. Said Strapped In was the last thing that stuck out in this culture. During his time, everyone had a slogan that stuck.
Said him and T-Top isn't debatable. He said he beat T-Top with 2 rounds. He said Top's first line was a line Math said 2 weeks prior. He said Loso stole a line he said 6 years ago.
Talked about beef about Akademiks, just said he should've shown love to the state
Said why do people think nikkas who make music can battle so easily? He said it's a science to battling. Mentioned he's cool with Banks, so it wasn't towards him or Los but just in general.
Talked about music and deal with Ewing Athletics. Talked about juggling all his outside ventures with battling.
