Legendary. Their DNA is all over the culture. Happy to see them still here smashing, much respect ,ATL. 👑 🎤...Sidenote: Cam is becoming one of the better if not the best interviewers out currently. He stays away from the cheap click bait stuff, ask legitimate questions to get real information and knows when and where to shut the fuck up and let his guest speak. Soo many of the other platforms don't understand how to do that and it kills otherwise great interviews so much respect to Cam Capone! Keep doing your thing! 🔥 🔥
Thank you for clearing that up Cam & Hutch about the Pac /NaS thing. Great Classic interview with 2 giants in this Hip Hop culture. KoKane & Hutch 2 living legends not just around the greats but laid down this original World wide West Coast MusiC. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I’m my own opinion I think Tupac did step to Nas on his Rah Rah sh!t and once he saw Nas wanted no problems, that’s when he let it go. I remember PAC saying in a interview how he’s no bully, he’s not gonna beat someone up for the crowd to see. He said if you see me don’t rush a nigga, it’s because he bowed down respectfully and let it be known he don’t want no problems. And I think that’s exactly how him and Nas parted ways that night. In todays world you have a lot of people trying to discredit Tupac and hold their favorite NY rappers on a higher pedestal. But in those days, these same artists did not want smoke with Tupac otherwise they would have responded. But I’ll let this New generation and bitter New Yorkers continue to push their narrative..
Nas has never disrespected pac legacy. His story been consistent for over 20 years. Nas ain't bitter towards pac or his legacy. Knock it off with the east vs west nonsense. Highly doubt pac stepped Nas in a rah rah way. Nobody from deathrow except snoop's side continues that narrative. These dudes are from eazy e Crip side. The crips are the only ones still dissing pac. Glasses Malone 03 greedo snoop and others still dissing pac to this day. It's sad Cali politics play a part in the truth. Snoop owns deathrow now everyone getting paid to tell a different story. The bloods been making snoop look like a punk for 20 years. So now snoop fighting back for his ego sake.
@@heybuddy7789 Nas had nothing but respect for 2Pac, even when Pac was dissing him. Nas even stopped his show the moment he got word that Pac was killed.
I love this interview because I grew up listening to that era of music and it reminded me of how things have changed although it was rough the music made times better.
Kokand handled himself well. Big fan of big hutch so it’s good to hear how he felt in those days. Time has changed and I know it’s nothing but love for the other side
My senior year in HS, we went crazy over the Chronic. A little after that, my crew started playing BML. We wondered … similar samples … we were already ATL fans. We found out then (I think by reading the cD cover) that it came out before the Chronic
Of all of the Pac/Nas confrontation at the park stories I’ve heard, I believe Hutch. His reputation in the industry as a stand up man over the last 30 years is impeccable.
Dudes is paid to lie sorry fam. Now snoop owns deathrow a whole alot crips going to be changing narratives for the bag. Snoop wasn't even there like hutch wasn't either. Why would Suge tell the same story everyone been saying days after pac died on MTV? It's sad Cali politics is playing into the truth. Bloods been making snoop like look a punk for 20 years. Now he owns deathrow and snoop is fighting back with revisionist history.
Legends absolutely. So much good music from these guys that wasn't just gangster, but also gave game to the people, from street smarts to political commentary. Much love from St. Louis for the Hustlers Beyond Control/University of South Central. Been trying to find a copy of "Who Am I" for decades. Rest in power to KMG and all the greats who have passed on. Keep "Ranchin" family.
Classic interview, good questions. The Eazy vs Dre beef really is sad. Eazy seemed solid and later on, he did fire Jerry Heller and tried to make things right for some ppl wit his label. Its a shame that Dre was (justifiably) done with Eazy about the money in 92 and they never squashed it. Kokane and Hutch , 2 undisputed legends of the Fonk! #salute
Man this interview was one of the best I’ve ever seen regarding our Pomona Greats speaking about stories that I vividly remember back in the late 1900’s. Big ups to Kokane & Cold 187um for reminding everyone Pomona was deep in the rap gang. Rest in Paradise KMG & Eazy-E ☝🏽💙
Tupac coined the phrase G Funk in Call what You Want on the Black Mafia Life Album. The Black Mafia Life Album was shelved during the Ruthless and Death Row transition and the Chronic came out first. When you listen to there are three to four big time beats on both albums at different speeds and done differently sonically.
hutch is one of the best of all producers and atl is 🔥🔥, but he acts like don't bit the punk doesn't exist, he was well involved in beef eazy and vs dr dre
Had the cassette livin like hustlers..a masterpiece that not many new at the time had connections with Dr Dre and NWA..the last track listed the last song has them all rappin...187 eventually signs with psychopathic as the pychopathic assassin..Big Hutch Big History...respect and happy New Year 2023!
Next *Versuz* concert: *Above The Law* (Cold 187um, Go Mack & Kokane) vs. *Geto Boys* (Scarface, Willie D & Big Mike) Based on songs from Above The Law & Geto Boys only (no songs from their solo tracks), which group wins??? R.I.P KMG & Bushwick Bill.
ATL will destroy Geto Boys. Geto Boys only had 2 good albums. We Cant Be Stopped and Till Death Do Us Part with Big Mike. The rest of their albums were all over the place. Which is why Willie D, Scarface, and Bushwick had way better solo albums. Whereas ATL had nothing but great albums, from start to finish
What a gem interview. I’ve herd about the fight between ATL and Lench mob, but now I know what really went down. It’s Ice cube wasn’t a real gansta y’all
Man this shit was the best brake down ever much props to to kokane 187um for this I believe that this is true I grew up in this Era so 😎 gangster thank you✌
The word underrated is thrown around so much that I really hate to use it. But Above The Law are the definition. Criminally so. Not only for shaping the sound of what would become the dominant music in LA and the world, but they really have one of the greatest catalogs of any group.
I’m glad they cleared up the Eazy E / Dre situation. Straight Outta Compton portrayed Eazy like a buster through that whole situation and i’m like nah i just don’t believe (in my mind) that it went down like that
Eazy died 2 soon, right when Bone Thugs was about to blow up, Eazy would have been the 1st millionaire in hip hop who owns his own record company, I honestly think his death is kinda fishy, how fast he died, he visted the White House months before his passing, also started getting sick and went and saw Jerry Heller's doctor after just firing him, one of those two incidents had something to do with him dying..
That nas shit was a trip! Everyone been lying for a long time. Big ups to these two legends. I’ve been a fan since day 1. Good interview I just wish I could’ve heard more about KMG and Bone Thugs.
First of all he said he was in the background and didn’t know if Pac was angry or not then he said Pac was angry lmao make it make sense then reliable people said Snoop wasn’t even there lmao
I agree about kmg but ATL as a whole too fuck some of that other shit just didn't want hear about I felt the interview was wasted talking about some b.s.. and taking away all the ATL shit I wanted hear the albums process Studios sessions when making the albums
People don't know but inland Empire Riverside San Bernardino are responsible for bringing out the most important hip hop groups in the world NWA 2 live Crew Rodney and Joe Cooley LSOB above the law and kokane,J J fad, Frost,Suga free,and many more, have either lived worked produced or had big business that was established or started in the inland Empire. The Inland Empire deserves a lot more respect and flowers it's responsible for a lot in the hip hop world.
pamona is in los angeles county. nwa is from compton which is also los angeles county. what are you talking about. san bernardino brought rodney o . joe cooley from compton. 2 live crew was in the military in the i.e.. kid frost is from east los angeles. shout out to the i.e. but los angeles county put out the most important groups. ice t, uncle jams, nwa, the game, kendrick lamar, snoop dogg, the alkholiks, cypress hill, the dogg pound, ice cube, west side connection , yo yo, comptons most wanted, dj mustard, yg, eazy e. alll from los angeles county.
@@aurabliss4258 yeah but they all lived or had houses or businesses or offices or studios in the Inland Empire not in LA county nor Orange county not San Diego county not in the high desert In the I.E
Great interview. To nit pick.. I disagree on minimizing Eazy E issues with DR. Eazy E was disrespected. BG knocc out and crew rode for Eric. ATL seemed to be straddling the fence. “Eric called me and said he worry about them Death Row dudes” .. it don’t matter if “I probably know these dudes”… it don’t matter. It’s time to ride
I'm from St.Louis,Missouri..the way they describe it..just over the bridge 🌉 ✨️ 💕 literally..East St.Louis,Illinois...oh yeah, tho$÷ same connection$ all through hurr..🙄🤨they'll tell ya'..gateway to the west *🌊( )🌊
Legends I remember when living like hustler came out I was in middle school good to hear them talk great about easy e they made excellent points
OG shit!!✔💯👌

I agree
These guys are absolute legends. Great interview.
This interview is probably the most enjoyable interview I have ever watched!!
By the way Cam, Pac’s song was Against All Odds not “The Realist Sht I Ever Wrote.” 1

Solid Interview!!! They're Legends and apart of the West Coast Classics
187 one of the best beat makers all time with his own original style 👍🏽
It's great to see Eazy's legacy live through these guys
I always thought Above the Law was underrated.. shiiid Kokane is underrated too! Respect to this platform for giving these dudes they Flowers 🫡
I agree Kevin was my very very good brother
Glad to see these legends on here. Always interested in hearing them speak.
Yall da best!!Thanks 4 everything!!Untouchable!!😎
Great interview with two legends. Thak you for always bringing us stuff we don't usually get elsewhere. Much appreciated.
“My day is coming…free my mind…” That song is brilliant and haunting. One of my favorites TO THIS DAY.

Man I loved they music soundtrack to my youth but after living like a hustla came out I didn't think that they could top that I love that shyt!

Thanks for your content support ‼️
Awesome interview💯 Above the Law & Kokane legends🔥👑
Kokane was on Leebe I was on Cathy. Kokane took me to Grand Central Station. We saw Ice T and Salt and Pepper. Good days.
These boys are solid ! Rare Breeds Actually talking the truth holding Pac down. Salute Big Dogs RIP 2PAC
Kokane did an album with Big Freaky Dre, AKA the REAL dude who shot Pac...
Y'all be callin everyone who interviews "the realest" or "rare breed". These guys can talk the draws off y'all if they wanted too🤣🤣
This iz a Cold interview💯🔥🔥🔥💪🏾
Of all of the Pac/Nas confrontation at the park stories I’ve heard, I believe Hutch. His reputation in the industry as a stand up man over the last 30 years is impeccable.
Dudes is paid to lie sorry fam. Now snoop owns deathrow a whole alot crips going to be changing narratives for the bag. Snoop wasn't even there like hutch wasn't either.

Above the Law my favorite group of All-Time. Uncle Sam's Curse is my favorite album of All-Time.
2 of the realest....2pac would be proud..Uk Honour you
Great interview 👌🏼
It cracked me up how Kokane said puppy instead of puffy when speaking about their relationship 💪🏿💯😂
I still bump their music
Legends absolutely. So much good music from these guys that wasn't just gangster, but also gave game to the people, from street smarts to political commentary.

OG LEGENDARY COLD187UM#1
Where can i go for the Pac/Nas part?
Good interview.
Best interview on the web
They made the hardest diss song nobody talks about.
Who they diss?
@@Usernotknown21 Dre and Snoop "Don't bite the phunk" but you scared to diss ice cube they mention
Yep, the hardest diss song! So damn good!!
"Cause imma bust u up kurupt!"- kokane they even dissed kurupt
Legend was one of my favorite albums👍🏾👍🏾
Legends and very underrated. I still got Kokane’s first album on regular play in a lot of my playlists.
Man this interview was one of the best I’ve ever seen regarding our Pomona Greats speaking about stories that I vividly remember back in the late 1900’s. Big ups to Kokane & Cold 187um for reminding everyone Pomona was deep in the rap gang. Rest in Paradise KMG & Eazy-E ☝🏽💙

I hope they ask them about Don't Bite the Phunk and how that came about.
hutch is one of the best of all producers and atl is 🔥🔥, but he acts like don't bit the punk doesn't exist, he was well involved in beef eazy and vs dr dre
BRING BLACK MAFIA LIFE TO STREAMING PLATFORMS!!!!!
IM FROM DALLAS AND ABOVE THE LAW WAS THE TRUTH HERE.
Had the cassette livin like hustlers..a masterpiece that not many new at the time had connections with Dr Dre and NWA..the last track listed the last song has them all rappin...187 eventually signs with psychopathic as the pychopathic assassin..Big Hutch Big History...respect and happy New Year 2023!
Next *Versuz* concert:
*Above The Law* (Cold 187um, Go Mack & Kokane)
vs.
*Geto Boys* (Scarface, Willie D & Big Mike)
Based on songs from Above The Law & Geto Boys only (no songs from their solo tracks), which group wins???

I always liked the song 4 tha E!
Much love ABOVE THE LAW....#blacksuperman CLASSIC ...#lvdrizzle
It's crazy as black men we gotta make sure its stated that they city "top 10 murder rate" smh our culture need a boost
The word underrated is thrown around so much that I really hate to use it. But Above The Law are the definition. Criminally so. Not only for shaping the sound of what would become the dominant music in LA and the world, but they really have one of the greatest catalogs of any group.
Both are my top tier favorite in Rap along with the rest of the Bay to Compton

I’m glad they cleared up the Eazy E / Dre situation. Straight Outta Compton portrayed Eazy like a buster through that whole situation and i’m like nah i just don’t believe (in my mind) that it went down like that
This interview proves that what Snoop said about the Nas and Pac confrontation was true. Yet the haters always try to find ways t9 discredit him.
Kokane and Cold 187um dissed Death Row/Snoop/DPG on the last track on Funk upon a rhyme
Classic track
My GUYS!!
That info about there dads being at Motown is crazy
My favorite West coast group
✨✨If I could bring back one rapper it would be Eazy!
Eazy died 2 soon, right when Bone Thugs was about to blow up, Eazy would have been the 1st millionaire in hip hop who owns his own record company, I honestly think his death is kinda fishy, how fast he died, he visted the White House months before his passing, also started getting sick and went and saw Jerry Heller's doctor after just firing him, one of those two incidents had something to do with him dying..
