@@NateDFunkt Big facts!. The lyricism and chemistry between P and Mega was like butter 🧈 melting in a skillet versus most who's rather like oil in water 🤣. The sample and grimey feel of that beat up'd the anty for sure 💯. Especially that continuous 'crackling' noise throughout the track? Don't get me started haha. Hopefully we can get another 'Realness' from Mega. We gotta protect this dude 😤 💯. I got my CIA outfit ready 🤣.
great interview..cormega is a perfect example of not being mainstream but being able to live off rap. to have an international fanbase that's always there for you is a great blessing. Peace to mega, he earned it. He was 31 when the realness came out, so he was already older than your average rapper back then. But he made it anyway.
That's cause he was tapped in to the scene already from his Nas shout outs and growing up with everyone He was just on the streets and in prison every time he was gonna drop he was shelved.
Cormega always has great interviews and music filled with jewels you can take in to make you better. He raps about life in a way that many can relate. Love what he said about patience at the end of this interview.
If you look at the way Cormega moves his hands in this interview, especially when he is talking about how he grew up, it brings back a lot of emotion for him. Total realness in what he's talking about. Great interview. Thanks for posting this.
Fun fact. MR EVERYTHING is an old time friend of Cormega and Nas and many of the same friends from Queensbridge Bridge. Orginally growing up in QB in the 80s and 90s and relocated to Atlanta to create MR EVERYTHING in Atlanta a popular food place.
Mega is one of the most authentic people you'll ever witness. I'm so proud of his growth as an artist, and more importantly, a man. It's great knowing he is on good terms with Nasir. I support both of these outstanding men. Sensational interview....I'll be sure to show my students and share with my peoples. Peace and blessings. #salute
After experiencing the criminal process over the past two years , especially when I was released from bookings I relistend to the Realness again to get some 2001 lyrical insight to help me reflect on my life. Mega is in my top 5 one of my favorites of all time
Mega is Legendary Just Like AZ. Maybe some things/relationships aren't worth having. He'll always have our admiration though. He'll always be one of the best.
For me it was when I heard "Killaz Theme" with Mega and Mobb Deep on the Survival of the Illest Bonus CD. Both tracks you just mentioned are fire though. Especially Angel Dust.
"Laid back like a fat Buddha/ holdin' my pearl handle luger in a landcruiser/ rims shine like daytime in Bermuda/ I write type smoother than niggas who be frontin' like half a key movers"-Angel Dust 🔥
I am hip hop to my core but am only recently (last 5 years) realizing how talented and profound Mega is. His song with Nas on The Realness II is a new classic and the whole album is making me check out his old material. Glad to see real artists able to stand the tests of time!
Greatest underground rapper off all time… by underground I mean never crossed over with commercial success… still listen to the realness and the true meaning and hustle rapper for that matter… salute mega
Great interview man! Your questions were on point. You got Mega to speak on things we didn’t know about. It’s always a great interview when you can learn something new about someone 💯
Salute to You for interviewing Cormega, A top Tier lyricist straight poet with a dope catalog of music One of the best to ever do it.. The True meaning is my Favorite album of his. Peace & blessings to Mega salute from Chi Town #Dantana773
My brother loves that album..he's upset that Mega chose to do a sequel to The Realness..He felt that it should've been The True Meaning..He still appreciates this album regardless..
Amazing interview and my absolute favorite so far. It was Great to see MEGA and him giving a enlightened interview of his career , friendships and life so it was a joy to see bro again because he's ALWAYS BEEN A DOPE ASS M.C. NAS MAKE IT RIGHT WITH YA BROTHA
I remember buying a CD in Philly from the Jamaicans dudes lol... The Montana way mixtape around 1999 or 2000 that shit was fire..... When I first hear of mega beside from the Nas affirmative action song and the def jam promo joint wit Dead man walking jawn ...bol was always dope....
Just a beautiful soul I remember going to get a sub from the corner store in 01 I believe and I seen his cd the realness for sale for five bucks and got it and been a fan ever since. 716
Mega always drop gems.. you’re right about people from your own neighborhood will be last to support you instead of trying to come up with you or trying to finds ways to make better opportunities for you…
Dope interview; excellent questions asked and expounded upon. We've always rocked and respected Mega out in London and he's experienced the regard we have for him when he was out here. Good looking out!✊🏾

Wow, dope
Great facts
*Need a Montana, Escobar, and Sosa album*
Would be super DOPE
Word life
With production by Large Pro, Premo, Alchemist, Havoc etc… No way it’ll ever happen but a dope dream album nonetheless
“I was a young ni$$a hustlin, me serving the D’s was unheard of, unless the D’s served me, speak words superbly- Cormega This verse is legendary

That's so real for him to thank his fans for putting a roof over his head,,,true humbleness 🙏🏽🔥🔥
Shout out to cormega
MEGA is the realest rapper ever. Copped all his albums. Bless him and his family. 🙏🏼💯
Cormega on here? Wow. Unexpected. In queens where my drugs be I wear Guess jeans and Rugbys. 90s were the best.
ill never forget when i got my hands on a tape with dead man walking and angel dust on it. changed the way i saw rap forever
For me it was when I heard "Killaz Theme" with Mega and Mobb Deep on the Survival of the Illest Bonus CD. Both tracks you just mentioned are fire though. Especially Angel Dust.
That's his best album imo, shit is just so raw and so hard. Dead Man Walking and Montana Diary both slam.
Dead man walking had me like 👀👀👀 this nigga real af lol that can't be made up lol
"Laid back like a fat Buddha/ holdin' my pearl handle luger in a landcruiser/ rims shine like daytime in Bermuda/ I write type smoother than niggas who be frontin' like half a key movers"-Angel Dust 🔥
@@DonYoGi8331 that’s one of my favourite Mega verses ever. So visual, so smooth.
The Realness ll is a classic💯
Y’all throw “classic” around too loosely
I am hip hop to my core but am only recently (last 5 years) realizing how talented and profound Mega is. His song with Nas on The Realness II is a new classic and the whole album is making me check out his old material.
Glad to see real artists able to stand the tests of time!
Everything that comes out of Mega's mouth is The Realness.. Album is a nice follow-up to the original classic. 🔥🔥🔥
Big Up !!! Job well done !!! This is what journalism is missing !!! A humble reporter , asking honest decent questions !!!
With a focus on music related questions
