[Playaz Eyez]

Old Ass Rapper: A lot of these young cats in the game these days I feel don't aren't really makin real hip hop music nahmean. They're industry puppets. The shyt ain't real. When we was around it was REAL hip hop you know what I'm sayin? A lot of these new rappers woulda never got put on back when it was still pure. These young kids just don't know.

Interviewer: Are there any rappers out now that you do like?

Old Ass Rapper: Yea of course. Wayne definitely. Drake too can't front he's doin his thing. Shoutout to Kanye of course. Can't hate on Nicki. Good lookin ma. Um... J Cole. Shoutout to ASAP mob. Kendrick, love Kendrick. The whole Black Hippie camp. Rozay puttin it down for hardcore rap. French Montana. Trinidad James I love his shyt. Waka Flaka be gettin my hyped when I'm at the club. 2 Chainz. Mac Miller. Tyga. Wale definitely a smooth brutha. I really dig Yo Gotti. Big KRIT I see you. Future out there killin it. Big Sean got a few songs I like. Hopsin, that kid could spit for real. Tyler the Creator still bringin that rawness. B.O.B. be havin some joints on the radio that I sing along to wit my daughter. Slaughterhouse just on lyrics alone. Vado. Fabolous still rockin it good lookin Fab. Loved that mixtape. What it do Jeezy. I see you nikka. Gangsta Gibbs. Flo Rida. Macklemore. A few others maybe but that about it. Honestly I'm not really into a lot of these new rappers.

Literally named every rapper out

Interviewer: So what were you doing before you started rapping?

Bullet-Hole: I was getting money in these streets fa'real.

Interviewer: So you were hustling?

Bullet-Hole: I was deep in the game. A lot of rappers be talking and rhyming about it, but i was really getting it. Ask about me, I'm certified.

Interviewer: How'd you get into rapping?

Bullet-Hole: My cuzzin was rapping and I used to always be in the studio with him. I just started messing around and writing rhymes not taking it serious. I was already hustling so I didn't need the rap money ya'know.

Interviewer: So you just signed a deal with Cash Money? Tell me about it.

Bullet-Hole: Baby from the streets like me, he a real one. I signed a 10-album deal for $1 million. This ain't no regular deal though, it's a joint venture. Me and baby are partners.

Interviewer: Any big things you got coming up?

Bullet-Hole: Well, we working on getting Tyga, Wayne, Drake, Nikki and me on a track. I'm just waiting on them to send their verses to me.

Interviewer: Dope, you know they are no longer with Cash Money.

Bullet-Hole: Oh! ...Fuk 'em, we don't really need them anyway, their time came and went already .
Me and Jacquees gonna keep the label going.


Interviewer: , When is your album release date?


Bullet- Hole: We still working on getting a release date. The album is done though .


Might be time for my lawyer to holla at Baby.

 

[Sinister]

"I have no beef with anyone" rappers after making diss songs.

"I'm trying to be the first me" generic clone rapper who sounds identical to an earlier artist

 

[Womb Raider]

Interviewer: So you've been on a few different labels so far in your career and you haven't found much success, why is that?

Hoe Maker: Well, I had a few hits but the labels didn't really understand my work. They wanted me to go in a certain direction that doesn't align with my music, that doesn't really represent the streets or my fans the right way, so I decided to go my separate ways but it's all love you know what I mean?

Interviewer: Last week you dropped a diss to Def Jam records titled "fukk You Def Jam", what's going on there?

Hoe Maker: It wasn't really a diss record, more-so my side of the disagreements we had since my last deal. I actually talked to Paul Rosenberg earlier this week who told me to cease and des- *cough* I mean fall back on discussing our situation. We actually came out of that phone call on better terms, he mentioned that Hov was interested in signing me as well.

Interviewer: So where is your career going from here?

Hoe Maker: I'm in the process of putting the final touches on my mixtape "2 Hots and a Thot", something for the streets while I get my next major move together. The first single dropped yesterday at midnight called "p*ssy for Breakfast", just a lil something for the shawties out there make sure y'all go listen to it on whatever stream service you got, make y'all lil TikTok videos or whatever. The song is fire and I'm telling you nikkas, y'all got till December 15th to get y'all shyt together. 2 Hots and a Thot is gonna be my best project no cap and I can't wait for y'all to hear it.

Interviews: That's wassup. The last topic today is about your pending charges for assault and battery on a 19 year old woman, do you have any comments on the onging investigation?

Hoe Maker: Aye that's all the time I got today man. I'll holla at you goofy nikkas

"at the end of the day..."

"see, a civilian can't be a snitch. A snitch is someone who was with.....blah blah blah"


Inflating numbers constantly, whether album sales numbers or contract numbers or endorsement deal numbers, etc...

Talking about their new artists signed to their label and their release dates. "Lil Harpoon and Young S-Curl droppin at the top of the year". shyts never come out and we don't ever see these people



You will hear one of, if not all, of these things in probably 90% of in-depth rapper interviews.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Young Buck: I aint answerin' that


*walks away*

 

[Rhyme n Tekniq]

Interviewer: There's been only one murder there in 25 years though, it kinda sounds li....

Rapper: I moved to Watts last week though

*DEAD*

 

[Mike the Executioner]

*on calling an album the sequel to one of your most highly regarded albums*

"Well, you know, when you do that.....obviously, there's a lot of expectations. That album was a big deal for me, but I was working on some songs and people said it reminded them of that album. They would come to the studio and be like, "Yo, that's the sequel." And you know, Pete Rock was hating on it because he's not on it, but you know, don't hate me because you've been shytting on me my whole career. I don't care if he produced the whole album, fukk that. The world's not ready for the sequel. I might say, dare I say, do I dare? You want me to dare? "

"I don't care, nikka, dare. "

"Alright then. This sequel's my best album yet. Be prepared, the streets are going to need more cops just to keep people from bootlegging it. "

*album is universally panned by fans and critics, mediocre sales*

"I can't take the fault for that, management was on me the whole time. You know, in the beginning, when I was working with Q-Tip and them funny looking motherfukkers, the album was tight? You know what I mean? Real gutter, hard, cut-your-face-in-the-alley-with-an-ice pick-type shyt. Raw like Monday nights, nikka. But then management was like, 'You can't have these records. Where's the radio joint? You gotta have the radio joint. '"

"So the label was playing you? "

"They were. People like treating me like I'm some pop rapper, like I'm Booboo the Fool and all that. I peeped game from the beginning. I wanted that hard nikka, piss in the stairwell-type shyt. The sequel was like Illmatic at first. I told the label, told them......"Yo, bust it. I want to do.......that." But they weren't hearing it. I recorded over 60 songs for this album. The label heard the first 45 and told me to start over. "

"But didn't you say this sequel was supposed to be for everybody? "

"That was all cap. That was just to get people on the block talking. I know what I want in my music. Next album, I'll have the streets buzzing. Watch, they're gonna call me the new Tupac when that drops. "

"When are you getting back in the studio to record it? "

"I don't know, my label's not letting me do anything right now, I have to ask them if it's cool first. "

This one of my favorite threads ever

 

[Uncle Baby Billy]

I miss these responses.... Current rappers are just braindead and mumbling.

 

[Ohene]

Vlad: what you think separates you from other rappers in the game

MLB CashCow: Well first off I aint a rapper. I’m a real street nikka. A lot of these rappers in the game game, phony. They all taking it but they ain’t living it. Me? I’m living it

Vlad: so when you say you’re living it, you mean the lyrics are real?

MLB CashCow: *Nods head*. You already know

*pauses and looks at manager off camera *

Well yea, you already know, all this shyt just entertainment. What I’m tryna say is i come at rap from a different perspective. I don’t glorify all the street shyt I just report it. I done lost a lot of homies to the game meyne. These other dudes talk about it like it’s glamourous - nun bout money, bytches and fast cars. shyt get really real though

Vlad: got it…so when you rapped “I miss my homie MLB Spida, you know that we gon ride fo ya” was that based on true events?

*Indicted on a murder 4 months later *
