    "As long as you breathin you got time..." very inspiring for me

    it's refreshing to hear somebody with his status play down the idea of the third eye. it's important to remember that this ancient idea was developed by people who lived in complete unity with nature and had a deep understanding of the universe's forces and cycles. i think ab-soul is saying that the current state of the world (particularly corporate america) is so far away from the kind of living conditions in which it is possible for this level of consciousness to be attained. it's healthy and, ironically, liberating to realise this.

      In terms of commercial success, do you think a modest or self-deprecating rapper is at a disadvantage?

      When did he finally feel he became "enlightened" .... has he tried DMT yet

    Ab-Soul is so amazing, I could sit and chat with him for hours on end, I'd love to get into the mind of someone like him :) much love man, see you in FL this month!

    Soul's third eye is the widest..

  • @sillynelson1
    @sillynelson1 11 років тому +4

    My favorite rapper. When you listen to him speak, you can tell he's just on another level, its not like a radio rapper's interview. TDE is really about the art of hip hop, not just to make a quick buck. I just hope the world can understand Ab-Soul when his debut drops, cuz he deserves all the same respect Kendrick is getting. If u listened to all of his past work you'd agree.

  • @Exthacreative
    @Exthacreative 10 років тому +52

    An Ab Soul and Capital Steez track would of been dope

    • @kanewhitrow7232
      @kanewhitrow7232 10 років тому +3

      If Steelo and AB became mainstream mcs the rap game would have bumped up to a whole other caliber. AB is a gifted word smith and Steelo was just as talented. A track with both of them would have been a beautiful thing.

    • @djproductions9

      @kanewhitrow7232 9 років тому +1

      kreddew~​ If you are going to comment please think it through. Nowhere did I say that I didn't understand who steelo was as a rapper, stop using Christian logic.

    • @arnoldlovec

      Kane Whitrow what are you talking about.. I'm going through what u wrote that he didn't want to be mainstream

  • @tashamoore8678
    @tashamoore8678 11 років тому +10

    After hearing this I can confidently say that AB Soul is the most under rated in Black Hippy group... which is CRAZZZZYYY BECAUSE HE'S A DOPE ARTIST AND A MARVELOUS INDIVIDUAL!!

  • @joeynoe88
    @joeynoe88 11 років тому +1

    The most humble things I've heard from a rapper in such a long time. Great way to address the kendrick hype. "Kendricks success assists my success. We are a family. We are not coworkers"
    Much love for these guys, don't sleep on them.

    @Kimmica20 11 років тому

    I'll always support the Black Hippy, TDE movement. They are not only talented as hell but always humble. I love Soul's answer regarding when interviewers ask questions about Kendrick that he's not bothered by them because they are family. That's real. Great interview.

  • @Kimmica20
    @Kimmica20 11 років тому

    I think so too. I have never seen a group of guys where every member can hold their own, it's rare. I look forward to all of their future projects individually and as a group.

    Ab-Soul the Blacklippastor is the best rapper alive people are sleeping on him , check out The End is Near and Made In Black America

    • @erronking7783
      @erronking7783 10 років тому +1

      At least let him get a few albums in

    • @erronking7783
      @erronking7783 10 років тому +1

      ***** I love his word play sometimes he kinda reminds me of a early jay z and ab is more lyrical then some people give him credit for

    • @holiday42020
      @holiday42020 10 років тому

      erron king ironically enough Jay-z is his favorite rapper of all time. He says it in a couple other interviews but he also does sound like 98 99 jay z to me

    • @erronking7783
      @erronking7783 10 років тому

      Yeah I heard him mentioned it before too. most of his lyrical style is kinda based off old hov especially due to the fact he can't see very well so it's hard for him to write so he has to think like a jay or big would

    • @holiday42020
      @holiday42020 10 років тому

      Yeah like how he words things differently. Like how jay does

  • @Trudon

  • @Kimmica20
    @Kimmica20 11 років тому

    I feel you. I also like the entire crew and I can appreciate their individuality. One of my pet peeves is when folks try to compare them by saying that one is better than the other.

  • @blinkatreyu
    @blinkatreyu 11 років тому

    I would fucking love to just chill and kick it back with Ab Soul and just relax and have a chat with him. He seems so enlightened and just calm and humble. TDE is probably the best rap group right now. There is seriously no competition. Every individual in Black Hippy can hold their own. :)

  • @MontyDatta

  • @sheldonspeed1386
    @sheldonspeed1386 11 років тому

    We probably wont get a Black Hippy Album in about three years. I mean Q's Oxymoron is coming in January and maybe Jay Rock will release his shit next year as well and Ab Soul prolly wont be till 2015. The thing I love is that they are creating strong foundations for themselves individually which is going to make the Black Hippy album much better and much more solid. I wanna hear an Ab Soul and SZA collab too.
