Math is a very good host and ask some very good questions. You can tell he understands the streets/business/hip hop history. He leads the question to the next question and keeps a good flow and the guest take well to him.
People make light of the IMPACT of losing both Bigge and Pac in the 90s. Hearing this man speak about his PTSD from their untimely deaths, is just one of many stories of how their tragedies held mad weight and changed things in our culture on many levels. Salute to you God 🙏🏼🙌🏼
@Tru 319 yeah no bro he can say a million times he not street dude but he is by our terms cause look who he has to compare himself to back in his times Nicky Barnes, we all well not all some still think Jay z wasn't out there like that and boi are they wrong Man already had a mill before his first meal stop playing, Alpo, Rich Porter, bumpy, even tho they detroit them boys were everywhere Big meech, freeway Ricky, tookie, I'm just saying with people like that around that you comparing yourself to and you don't feel or just know you not as big as them then of course he gonna say he's not street dude but if street dude means putting in work not necessarily selling dope but work was put in he connected the dots for a lot people to meet other people he had money in streets so by our terms yes he is street dude just he not gonna say so and as he should to old keep pushing that out there and embarrass yourself cause them young boys could careless what work you did when they were in diapers they on demon time that what have you done for me lately type time so he anit even trying mix it up with that shit so he not gonna go around saying he that no more
"Sky's The Limit", as kids, my brother and I would replay that fucking single back to back to back to back no joke 10 15 times in a row. It gave us inspiration, it was a song our parents wouldn't turn off because it was mild mannered for the most part so we could play it loud (most of our music had to be played quietly haha mobb deep, 36 chambers, all that). Nah but for real, that song really gave us inspiration and told us we could have what we wanted and be what we wanted, really just gave us a feeling that we would get out them projects, and sure enough we did...
"Only make moves when your hearts in it, and live the phrase says the limit..." Man, the ending of that verse....I can't tell you how many times I've replayed it when I needed something to lift me out of a slump. Respects brotha.
Kaddia jones ,, Quincy jones daughter the funder $$$$$ of bad boy record co ,,,,, that puff stole from butt naked crew , they was the original bad boy co
I was sleep when my brother woke me and told me Big got killed and I was 17. Listening to LAD a year later and I didn’t feel it till I heard “Sky’s the limit”. It made me mad cuz Big knew he’d made it but just like Carlito he was just a second late. RIP BIG AND PAC
I was 16 and my room was in the basement my sister stayed up stairs, she yelled down to me Biggie Die, I just shook my head and was like Damn this shit has gone to far was my thought process cause we just had lost PAC
I was 10 years old and I had a basketball tournament in Queens, I had to go to a family gathering in downtown Brooklyn and we heard about the shooting early that morning on Hot 97. We couldn’t go to sleep when we got home. We could barely play ball, everybody was talking about BIG. That night, on Hot 97 everyone was calling in emotional. It was sad that day.
Sky’s the Limit hit me so hard when I first heard it Hearing him talk about how far he had come in life on an album that dropped right after his death…tragic
I never used to comment as often as I did on these UA-cam videos, SALUTE Math! You really went from battle rap to this and reinvented yourself in the game 💯
Been an avid watcher and I can honestly say that the quality of the conversations and storytelling is next level. Keep it up. Great work. Bring Mike Tyson on next.
Math you ate providing us with Hip Hop history on another level. I've been watching battle rap and following it for 12 years, but this shit.... crazy. Thank you.
I was in high school when Pac and Big were killed...I was devastated when Pac died then when I heard Big was gone I thought it was over for rap...it just wasn't fun anymore...the way things boiled over and spun out of control was crazy...it's one thing to read and hear about it historically but for those of us that lived through it we know how intense it was...sad times man...RIP Tupac and Big 🙏🏾
Big was a hustler and a rapper. He did have a label started with Un. Started Junior mafia and was expanding his brand beyond badboy. Big is the greatest hands down.
Congratulations to Math and his crew for this show, well thought of questions & with Math Hoffa at the helm steering the ship in it's right direction sky's the limit,dope content & its not forced.just pure organic grown man discussion on the culture of hip hop salute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Incredible interview. Skillfully crafted questions bro. Reflected and off rip. Clark Kent is legendary with significant real insight. Blessings and Respect!❤️🙏🏾
When you’re super close to someone, you get to feel when something terrible is about to happen. Everything around won’t feel right at that moment. Same feeling I had before I got a call of my dad passing away. Same feeling I had when my best friend was knocked down by a vehicle. It’s instinctively crazy !!! Rest In Peace Biggie 🙏🏽
No bullshit I literally listen to sky’s the limit at least once or twice a week. This is my favorite biggie track. What he talks about I actually lived through in middle school
He brought up skys the limit because it was relevant to the topic in the video. No one brought up no fucking so many tears. Btw there plenty songs better than so many tears inluding skys the limit. Pac fans are the fucking worst lol
I never knew Big, but for some reason I get these spells where I grieve over his lost. And I also grieve because when he was alive I took him for granted as an artist. Hard to explain.
I remember coming home from church (we was 3hrs ahead in Arkansas) and turning on the tv. I flipped to MTV and Kurt Loder was live in LA that morning sayin BIG had been killed. Remember it like it was yesterday. RIP BIG 🙏🏽
Biggies death impacted us very hard… I can tell you the exact thing I was doing when I heard about his death. #RIPBIGGIE🙏🏽🕊 The greatest to ever do it!!
When my father and myself wasn't in great terms from 94-97 big was my hero and when my godmother told me the news and I was quite the whole day I got my whole swag from this man as being a big dude myself that day brooklyn died
Rip biggie crazy I still remember clearly where I was at that night it happened. Makes my hairs stand up on my arms every time I hear or talk about that situation that night
Came back to this after Gene Deals latest interview on Art of Dialogue. RIP Clark Kent. He felt something in the air that night, then his boy gets killed after the party smh
I remember being hiii as hell at an art show n Clark was supporting his daughter who was in the show. I was too hiii to muster up the bravery to walk up to him. I just kept telling my friends “that’s Clark Kent.”
@mathhoffa I’m proud of u yo this is a classic .. yur rising to legendary status going from battle rap to one of the best shows on UA-cam.. watched u get shunned in battle rap for hooking off on niccaz den finding a lane now doing numbers den exhibition battled methodman legendary shii … idea yu should do more exhibition battles like that wit sum of the mc’s coming to the show that got it…
I remember I was in Allentown PA visiting my uncle. I was out getting my drink on, came back and passed out. I also got woke up outta my sleep, it was VERY SAD 😞 news!
Whaa… Wait? Clark signed 98 Degrees!? I love this show, but take the backpack off sometimes guys💯😂 How the hell does DJ Clark Kent sign a 90’s boy band?? That’s a story in itself
5:36 I use those words to this day! "... only make moves if your heart's in it..." that part. 11:12 BIG probably knew he was going to get a 'Yes' out of Clark (or anybody for that matter) if the atmosphere and mood was right. That's why he asked at the party and not the hotel.
@@yikes7298 lol Mecca cool but I can see why some ppl don’t like him because of his voice and he comes off as a know it all but if you research dude he’s really legit and smart. He’s been in the industry a really long time.
Math is a very good host and ask some very good questions. You can tell he understands the streets/business/hip hop history. He leads the question to the next question and keeps a good flow and the guest take well to him.
And he lets his guest tell their story.
Facts!!! And the way he asks the questions aren't the typical "big got shot, how did that make you feel" most others be doing, ie vlad.
I've been saying that about Math for a while now, he interviews like he's talking to good friends and understands the moments.
People make light of the IMPACT of losing both Bigge and Pac in the 90s. Hearing this man speak about his PTSD from their untimely deaths, is just one of many stories of how their tragedies held mad weight and changed things in our culture on many levels. Salute to you God 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Who exactly made light of those situations because I haven't seen that yet. I've seen the exact opposite
No one makes light of it lol
I’ve never heard anyone make light of that but ok
PTSD IS VERY REAL!
Exactly! Can you imagine if Biggie, Pac, Nas, and Jay did a record together 🤔🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“put money in my moms hands, give my daughter a college plan so she don’t need no man” One of the best bars ever to me!!!
Yes sir!!!
Nah that line is the reason women walk around saying they don't need a man now. It was very beta to say and support of feminism.
@@PhamousHipHop nah u just scared of an independent woman who can do better than most lol
@@PhamousHipHop yo shut up with ish. That's not the reason. That's your opinion
@@HiPHOPx87 I made this song for suckers like you ua-cam.com/video/Qr-tm0Eyavk/v-deo.html
I can listen to Clark talk all day man. So many stories.
@Tru 319 yeah no bro he can say a million times he not street dude but he is by our terms cause look who he has to compare himself to back in his times Nicky Barnes, we all well not all some still think Jay z wasn't out there like that and boi are they wrong Man already had a mill before his first meal stop playing, Alpo, Rich Porter, bumpy, even tho they detroit them boys were everywhere Big meech, freeway Ricky, tookie, I'm just saying with people like that around that you comparing yourself to and you don't feel or just know you not as big as them then of course he gonna say he's not street dude but if street dude means putting in work not necessarily selling dope but work was put in he connected the dots for a lot people to meet other people he had money in streets so by our terms yes he is street dude just he not gonna say so and as he should to old keep pushing that out there and embarrass yourself cause them young boys could careless what work you did when they were in diapers they on demon time that what have you done for me lately type time so he anit even trying mix it up with that shit so he not gonna go around saying he that no more
You weird.
@@TheBigbaddodooDaddy24 you couldn't wait to write that shit
Clark is dope man.. the stories he has for working with so many legends is probably out of this world
A plethora of insight!!!
@@mznewyork1 PLETHORA!
Clark Kent just solidified what Gene Deal been saying Math your interviewing skills are dope !!!

MATH DROP THE FULL MAN IVE BEEN WAITING FOR DAYS 😂 I Love this podcast man ! I’m 24 and I appreciate all the game and history we get from this
Fr 🤣🤣
You're one wise 24 year old brother. God bless your soul
@@BingeworthyContent no doubt!!!
So proud to hear your 24 and grabbing a hold of this info and history…you’ll go far in life… facts
Bang the classics too!!!
Math another great set. Gene Deal is giving you mad props for this interview. Would you consider having him on? Continued blessings King.🔥🔥🔥
@MATHHOFFA You have become very good at getting people to open up and speak about uncomfortable things. Your Question asking Techniques at A1 💯💰
Proves Gene deal was right about this change of plans last minute to go to the party hosted by 2pac girl
Big facts!!!
2pac girl hosted it how do you know?
Kaddia jones ,, Quincy jones daughter the funder $$$$$ of bad boy record co ,,,,, that puff stole from butt naked crew , they was the original bad boy co
It wasn’t hosted by Kidada, it was hosted by Vibe Magazine aka Quincy Jones. Kidada was just his daughter attending the party
I was young as hell during that time and I remember my moms crying about both Big & Pac’s murders. Shit is deep, the game changed when they were gone.
I was sleep when my brother woke me and told me Big got killed and I was 17. Listening to LAD a year later and I didn’t feel it till I heard “Sky’s the limit”. It made me mad cuz Big knew he’d made it but just like Carlito he was just a second late. RIP BIG AND PAC
I was 16 and my room was in the basement my sister stayed up stairs, she yelled down to me Biggie Die, I just shook my head and was like Damn this shit has gone to far was my thought process cause we just had lost PAC
Damn great reference. A second late
Damn both there murders felt like a frozen moment in time I was 17 when pac passed and right after big that was traumatic rip
I was 10 years old and I had a basketball tournament in Queens, I had to go to a family gathering in downtown Brooklyn and we heard about the shooting early that morning on Hot 97. We couldn’t go to sleep when we got home. We could barely play ball, everybody was talking about BIG. That night, on Hot 97 everyone was calling in emotional. It was sad that day.
Sky’s the Limit hit me so hard when I first heard it
Hearing him talk about how far he had come in life on an album that dropped right after his death…tragic
Big been gone for half my life & every time I hear a story from him I’m still affected. Great job Math & RIP Big
The raw authenticity that Clark always displays is one of a kind. Blessed to know this living legend! #BrooklynBruhs 💎💎💎
Son on his phone is disrespectful that’s why I loved when Clarke would put him in his place here & there
If you Peep game, esso gets checked by most of the guest they have. He’s kinda weird and soft
I never used to comment as often as I did on these UA-cam videos, SALUTE Math! You really went from battle rap to this and reinvented yourself in the game 💯
Big Gene brought me here. This a must watch. Share and like this video. Good job fellas. 👍
Been an avid watcher and I can honestly say that the quality of the conversations and storytelling is next level. Keep it up. Great work.

Math you ate providing us with Hip Hop history on another level. I've been watching battle rap and following it for 12 years, but this shit.... crazy. Thank you.
I was 11 at the time, hearing that story takes me right back to the morning I found out and feels just as heavy
I was 10 and I remember watching MTV and BET when I found out about Biggie getting killed. I was like gotdamn man smh.
True!!
@@SoulOfTheSouth I was 15 ...I remember that whole ordeal like yesterday ....big n pac situation..smh
Facts!! Sky's the Limit is my favorite B.i.g track! R.i.p to Biggie and Pac
This the best real podcast show fr fr real talk with real people 💯💯💯
"The milks was chocolate, the cookies, buttercrunch"~ BIG. One of my favorite bars ever!
RIP To this legend
I luv listening to your outro bro….it’s Hoffa!!! Trap rapper turn Smack rapper….💪🏾💯🔥

This may be one of the most anticipated episodes 👑
Clark Kent is an intelligent dude.. Great interview Math Hoffa.💪🏽
I was 10 years old when Biggie passed away. My dad picked me up for the weekend and told me. That was a very quiet car ride 🕊
I APPRECIATE THIS CONVERSATION 🙏
Clark is brilliant at story telling
The B.I.G shit always fucks me up because he really didn’t do anything to deserve that. R.I.P B.I.G & PAC. Two NY legends 👑
He did but y’all don’t wanna admit that
@@ZYaKnoe249 na he didn’t, stop it. Big didn’t do a damn thing to anyone, just some fool who was letting people around him put a battery in his back.
@@JKorver Are you serious?....And I ask that question with sincerity and temperance.
@@ZYaKnoe249 I couldn't agree with you more, the only regret I had about Biggie's Death, is that Puffy didn't die with him.
@@kelvinbentley2777 yeah I’m serious
Dj Clark is a Living Legend ✊🏾
This episode made me play sky’s the limit 3x yesterday classic song in biggies top records motivational
Keep going man this shit incredible all the way from Dallas Texas 💯💯💯

Big was a hustler and a rapper. He did have a label started with Un. Started Junior mafia and was expanding his brand beyond badboy. Big is the greatest hands down.
He was a terrible drug dealer and an incredible lyricist
@@awwskit9753 I meant a hustler as a business man.
Long Live Frank White

The tragedy in both their deaths is so underplayed I believe. Like it is horrific. Horrifying.
Beautiful podcast la vie into the past I felt it millions of miles away so I can understand clark vibes a huge impact too the culture.
R.I.P PAC & BIG👼🙏🌹🕊️🎤💙✊🏾💯
When I received the news about both Biggie and Pac it was on Sunday morning.
Intro: that super gangster is hard
I know but it’s not on Apple Music
I didn't see it on apple or Spotify
BIG GENE IS THE TRUTH 💯
Math was looking out for Clark by saying “Instinctively”
No bullshit I literally listen to sky’s the limit at least once or twice a week. This is my favorite biggie track. What he talks about I actually lived through in middle school
@Tru 319 nigga who tf said anything about pac ? You Stan’s are the worst.
He brought up skys the limit because it was relevant to the topic in the video. No one brought up no fucking so many tears. Btw there plenty songs better than so many tears inluding skys the limit. Pac fans are the fucking worst lol

Love big 4eva, clark thank u for all stuff we didn't know
So we just gon’ skip over the fact that Clark said he signed the boy band 98 Degrees tho?😂 That’s 🔥🔥🔥.
I thought I heard him say that shit
( MIND BLOWN)
Am i the only one who clicked this just to see Clark punk out Esso again 😂😂😂
Nope. Disappointed.
Punk him out how what happened?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@BigMufis go watch the other clips
Yess! Esso has been getting checked by most of the guest they have
That intro🔥🔥🔥is that on ITunes?! Need that on the gym playlist
One of my favorite interviews.
That’s one of those things that’ll be burned into your brain forever. What you were doing and where you were when you heard, you can’t forget that.
This was an iconic part of the interview.
That last part when Clark said "maybe I did know something" sounds interesting.
introduction song🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 That's that sound new York need right now 💯 BK 4 life

He was Vice president of the label
I had to rewind that part because i thought I heard wrong.
