God damn, I had to cut this sh!t off 5 minutes in because Ebro and Rosenberg are so fvcking corny. I fvcks with Bibby and was hoping this woulda been good. I hope he stops by The Breakfast Club while he's in town.

lol I thought it was a great interview. It's obvious he was out of his comfort zone on the topics and with the hot97
I don't understand the complaints though. They were lobbing softballs at him so that he could display his depth as a person.
- they asked him if he thought about his future
- they asked him if he was spitting realities of the street, or just exploiting it
- they asked him about his music upbringing…who taught him his technique, vision, wordplay etc
- they asked him about his musical influences, inside of chicago and out
- they asked him about gentrification
all of their questions, in the grand scheme of things, were set up so that people that don't bang with drill music or the chicago scene, didn't see him in the same light as chief keef
all of the questions they asked him, he fumbled on. he either gave one word answers, or just couldn't articulate himself. y'all keep saying they didn't ask him about the music? the first question was about his rapping ability lol. the first thing ebro did was big up his style and his cadence. and bibby completely dropped the ball on it. his response, "I don't know."
it's partly understandable because of where he's from. but he needs to realize, and the people around him need to realize, that being able to talk about those subjects will help him develop as an artist and as a man. when you're spitting that banging shyt in ny, the old heads want to hear you bring some knowledge. they want to hear some substance. folks really don't mind you rapping about violence as long as the end goal is to uplift.

They were clowning dude but I feel like he handled himself really well. You could look at their eyes and see they were trying to play bibby on the low.

Son they was low key shyttin on him...and it's the way they carry THEMSELVES in the interview that made him uncomfortable..he was at a hip hop radio station and they was talkin like some outsiders..some straight corny dudes..they never do much research on the artists they bring on the show either...I can almost guarantee he would've been more comfortable at The Breakfast Club..and he did answer the questions about his flow n shyt perfectly fine..they was askin dumb ass questions about if he really does illegal activity he raps about live on the radio..I'm like
...shyt was like he was gettin interviewed by white out of touch news reporters or some shyt..they was squares man..
they was askin dumb ass questions about if he really does illegal activity he raps about live on the radio..I'm like
I'll address the rest of your post later tonight, but think about what you just said here….
They asked if the illegal activity, HE RAPS ABOUT, are real. And you say it's dumb cause it was LIVE on the radio? But he raps about. But it's dumb when he talks about it on radio. But he raps about.
Like I said in my post, its short sided to see it as him snitching on himself. It's obvious the question is to build depth about him as a person. Let him talk about the social ills of chicago. Let him articulate about the social construct which is the ghetto and the pitfalls of it. The question allows him to express his views on life and how kids in his situation can make it through.
But no…y'all don't see that at all. And that's why, artist never DEVELOP. That's why mainstream hip hop lacks SUBSTANCE. That's why there are no LEADERS and VISIONARIES. Because when questions like this come up, all muhfukkas jump to is "yo I'm not telling on myself." When the real way to answer the question is to show progression towards positivity and uplift.
