Can be good if they get the right people on. Bring back the freestyles and all other good stuff.

I am not mad at this

So I watched most of it. It's nostalgic energy but it did get old after the first few segments. Obviously I'm and don't keep up w all the young guys but they look like they're having a blast. The French and Durk song kinda goes.

The potential is there. Only time will tell what direction this goes.

I can see this blowing up again. You’re probably gonna see a bunch of mixtape legends come back to either freestyle or announce albums and stuff. Even underground artists who aren’t mainstream. That’s how guys like Ransom and Stack Bundles came up.

Two things can be true at once:

1. I will never be upset at Black people getting money together in our culture
2. A lot of these new rappers CAN'T RAP FOR SHYT - no original content, no flow, nothing that separates them.

I wonder about this. Back in the Smack DVD days people found out stuff on those DVDs.

We have the internet. Rappers constantly post new songs, share news etc. and you can hear it in an instant.

It’s basically gonna be all over social media anyway, but I see it’s a YouTube thing so far. I can see it expanding into other platforms. For all we know it can even grow to a label for artists to drop music. I remember the Feds shut mixtapes down for it being illegal. But labels are now dead so it can be an outlet to drop new music or albums.

So I watched this earlier, and here's what I thought:

1) It's 2 hours and 20 minutes, which is slightly too long for a free online video magazine. Most people aren't going to go through that even while skimming it like I did. Navigating back and forth becomes hard too.

2) It's mostly in-studio, on-stage and on-location music performances. There isn't much BTS footage beside that.

3) It lacks interviews. Shout-outs and basic introductions don't count as interviews.

4) It's good that it has timestamps, but there's only one artist name per timestamp even when there's multiple in it. I can't even find the segment where a bunch of guys were rapping one after the other, and I don't know what their names were either.

5) Having the artist name timestamped but no other context about where or what the segment is about is an oversight. Even the music performance should have the song labeled.

6) Most of the footage is from night time. It lacks daytime footage.

7) They got rapper Jim Jones in here. That curse is very real. This whole project could flop based on that alone. It's just a bad look in general to have him on Volume 1 and it's not him getting beat up, chased or verbally shat on.

8) I mostly skipped the rap battle at the end. Just a personal preference.

9) This is an acceptable Volume 1, but it needs to improve or else the views will keep dipping with each release. It's new and it's already boring to me.

10) They need to get this shyt on Rumble and Odysee because the YouTube version is already age-restricted.

11) They need to highlight more buzzing rappers from other regions. That's what will make this series really take off. Get footage from places like Minnesota, Detroit, DC, Maryland, and even smaller sections and towns.

12) The lesser-known rapper needs to introduce themselves better. Where did they grow up? What did they do growing up before becoming a professional rapper? When did they start rapping? When was their first album or mixtape release?
