“They tell you to think big,
Then they tell you to see a shrink”
A true wordsmith
Thank y'all for bringing back SOULO!!!! This man is an introvert and an underrated gem in this game giving him his flowers while he is here that's Carson, CA finest right there!!
CARSON ARSONIST
He and Razzy!!!
And reason tde
@@williamhesquire Add Ray & Brandy, CArson doing its thang
"...know your roots and who you're rooting for..." Ab-soul
KRS TWO
@@dabs.47 I kept the intelligent movement in route thus far!!! Hope you don’t mind that I do 💪🏼
@@nicholaslutz5910not like I needed approval from you or something
His presence is so different from others, modest, lowkey, yet so intellectually powerful. A grandmaster, legend. Thank you Ab Soul for what you bring to this world
Is always the quiet ones that are the loudest. Such a respectable, genuine dude, a true role model. I hope the younger generation is introduced to Herbert after this album drops. I know I've been waiting ever since control system was dropped.
Kendrick gave the common ppl a therapy session. Soul boutta give us thinkers' thinkers an intervention
“They say you gon’ sail/sell or you gon’ sink. They tell you to think big then they tell you to see a shrink.” SOUUUUUL!🙏🏽🔥
Explain the bar
@@jariel1909 self explanatory homie
I wanna hear a kanye and ab-soul collab. Sounds like something he'd say

"they tell you to think big, then tell you to see a shrink" 😤 tough
only comment that matters atm
Not All Heroes Wear Capes
Ab-Soul always stutters , and iThink it stems from the battle between knowing A LOT but always having to tone it down just for safety .... this man definitely knows more than he let's on ...
Real talk
And a decade of narcotics abuse doesn’t help
This couldn't be more true. This my main cause for stuttering but people won't understand 😕
Love the connection between sway and soul. He really values him in many ways. That story about sway giving him 100 dollars was powerful.
Freestyle starts at 23:50
Legend
Appreciate it 💯
Hero
Vamos🔥
Oh man 🤣
“It wasn’t an album it was an algorithm” 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was heavy on Ab-soul 10 years ago. Seeing him here is feeling nostalgic.
Fever dream. So excited.
Same bro
Sway's introduction of Soul is beautiful. I teared up
The greatest lyricist of his generation. 👌
He up there for sure
Daylyt will go back n fourth with soul.
@@dezdolla they battled lol
@@Alafi1 i know. I was just stating that daylyt n soul can go back n fourth non stop.
One of the most underated lyricists of this era him cyhi, earl, krit, vince, joey, denzel, cordae, boldy, saba, wale...
You gave him his credit & disrespected him in the same sentence puttin him next to a few of those names
@@hippopproof2559 lol seriously
@@hippopproof2559 how? All of these guys are lyrical and underrated..where is the disrespect?
Roc Marciano, Griselda, Ransom & Freddie Gibbs
Vince nice but I wouldn't call him a lyricist. It's no disrespect either. I don't call dmx a lyricist. Big/hov/Nas etc lyrics, can-i-bus. But like pac, Vince, dmx they can paint pictures without the fancy wordplay. Which is still incredible to do in a short song
As a LIVE HARD FAN of Ab-Soul.... this moment feels GREAT!!! WE NEED TO SUPPORT HIS JOURNEY.
The only album release I whole heartedly anticipate this year!!! Love you Ab
You know this. Soul has affected my live in a lot of ways. I can't wait.
We love you Sway. Thank you for what you do and everything you have done and your contribution to music and the culture and art. We love you man. Thank you for always giving the most genuine and respectful interviews in the game.
Sway is pure Hip Hop 💯
Soul is so humble too, how he mentioned that sway really is a big reason for big come up. Sway took a chance because he believed in him
“KRS 2”
“3Pac”
- Soul’s ad-libs over Sway are crazy 😹 🔥🐐
Long-term mentality, then
Intelligent movement, now
Been a TDE fan since my highschool days
Soul was always the one preaching sense, till this day, MOONSHOOTER. Should be on Radio waves! Let's go Herbert! #TDE
Him an Kendrick both were preaching sense tho
Beyond excited.
“If you behind Ab, then maybe you can stomach this” - Soul
Damn 🔥🔥🔥
The intro alone was enough! Ab -Soul to the world.
Ab-Soul will go down as one of the greatest lyricists in our age....Already greatest wordsmith in TDE. i hope ab bounces back up, heals, and kill those beats...like he always do
Soul’s my favorite artist, been a big fan of his for a decade. Words can’t describe how excited I am for his new album. It’s been a long time coming but I know it’s gonna be something special
What Sway did for Ab with the $100 defines what a real 🥷 is!!!! 💯
Ab Soul & his talent, perspective, the ability to persevere is a gift to the world. A constant reminder of what not giving up and embracing your presence in this world looks like. Control System will forever be one of my favorite projects. Excited about Herbert.🌌
Love Ab-Soul! We been missing you! Glad to hear your voice and can’t wait for the album!!
Can’t wait to smoke & cry to his album when it drops. SWAY, you the goat for bringing him back on your show. Thanx for that ❤
Ey sis i pray you're not under depression...but you will make it through! believe and trust yourself! All love fam
I rather wait till an album it’s on 432hz healthy frequency ~~~
Otherwise it’s trash.
@@Legend.Status.ZR1 I don’t recall asking for anybody’s opinion..
I felt that
😭💔
This dude is so freaking underrated! I discovered him inadvertently and went back to the beginning of his catalog..
He has a poetic delivery much like K-dot...
12 years I been listening to Soulo. Been a huge part of my life getting me through the transitions over the years. Much luv Soulo.
“”They say you gon sail or you gon sink/ they tell you to think BIG, then tell you to see a shrink..” Soul, wtf dawg 😭🤯 lyrical mastermind!
Goosebumps. I’ll forever be a true fan to bro. I ain’t even a fan boy but he just hit different, lyrics and all. I’m glad to see him back.
24:21 The love for Canibus first album in the freestyle though, channel zero reference and the buckingham palace quote, love it.
i met both of these dudes in person thanks to divine timing and man is it good to see two of the greatest in the same room . god bless soulo and his journey
Really nice to have Ab-Soul back
One of my top favorite artists of ALL time! So excited for the new project! 🔥👽
My jaw just dropped to the floor from the way he just spewed out those fucking COMPLICATED BARS, that just felt like he couldn't wait for the people to hear him. He's ready. And so are we. Thank you
What a moment.
🇿🇦Love You Soul
Fellow South African😎🇿🇦
Can’t wait until he comes to SA🔥I swear I would buy a vip ticket
We love you Ab-Soul
bro, he killed that verse even tho he was nervous. Soul is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very good to see Ab Soul giving Sway his props 👍
And good to see Sway's reaction to it 💯
I'm so glad to see him back at it. Me being an older cat (49 to be exact) I'm looking forward to this young king new project keep it up
2 things that really stuck to me in this interview are the build up to when Ab was spitting and said "Sway had the answers all along."
And sway to the end of the interview when he told Ab,
"Embrace the season brother."
In context, its some legendary stuff
Aww this is nice. I’ve been binging old Sway x Ab-Soul (shoutout to the Pineal Gland performance) clips over the past few weeks and it was nice to hear the backstory Ab-Soul shared around 6:00. That was love.
Man, i gotta say that “Do Better” song be so stuck in my head. Like I could be at work, find myself slipping and say “Do Better”, i could’ve forgot to do something and then I sing “I gotta do better gotta do better TODAYYYY”. Wish I listened to the music more and in depth but in my defense early 20’s me just wasn’t there yet. THANK U 4 being transparent.
You can search far and wide and will never find a negative comment on anything posted about AB-Soul. Not a troll, not a bot. Just positive experiences from the music, powerful lyric quotes, and knowledge. SOULO we love you man. It's beautiful to see you back and anew. Keep this shit rollin!
“ If im not better than kendrick nobody is”-ab-soul
"I make my dreams a reality so to speak, or so they said, I could still be asleep"
So glad he’s still here with us on this green earth 🌏 not a artist that relate to more than SOUL. Rest in paradise Doeburger. 💜🍔 know your roots n who ya rootin for
Sway's introduction of Soul is beautiful. I teared up🥲
The vibe is legendary. Congrats soul
"Sway had the answers all along that was never a question"
bars
the story about sway droppin man the quick 100 that is powerful stuff...life changing
That freestyle took me back to 2000 - 2015 rap vibes
Which rappers exactly?
@@PenguiinLips He did a lil Jayz homage at 25:09
Hell yes so great to see Ab soul he is criminally underrated fr fr
Sway I’m 26 seen you on tv since I was at least 5 -7 years old ur a og and been a subscriber for 12 plus years goat !!! Sway got the answers !
Sway makes the best Ab-Soul interviews. I'm excited.. Really looking forward to this album.
Mark 8:36 🙏🏿 Ab-Soul touched my heart with this interview. So many people been tryna put me on for years. Finally, I'm ready to expereince. Can't wait for the album to drop. Blessings to you, Herb and the whole Sway family! Love from The Bay 🌴
soul.O has always been 1 of my favourite at TdE....BIG UP, Super fan from South Africa
First little brother break up now everyday I wake up somebody got a problem with Soul, wassup feelin irrelevant cause my movement intelligent run a check up like stethoscope " - Ab-Soul
"First the Fat Boys break up, now everyday I wake up
Somebody got a problem with Hov
What's up? Y'all niggas all fed up 'cause I got a little cheddar
And my record's movin' out the store?" - Jay-Z
It's a intelligent movement 📈
Ain't no love, in the heart of a city
Can't explain how excited I am for this project. For his rebirth and growth within himself. It resonates POWERFULLY
You can still see how hurt he is over Alori Joh. RIP
I love your music and you speak so much wisdom, so much truth, so much to share with the world, please NEVER stop Ab-Soul. Herbert. I love your poetry. Thank you!
What a great intro sway gave to ab soul
The onion has definitely been peeled back. So proud of Ab-Soul man. had a hard time holding back the waterworks 😭
Humble as fuck. We've missed you, black lip bastard. Can't wait to hear what you've come up with after this time. So much love
Damn this brought me soo much joy💚
Beautiful interview ❤️thank you👸
"They tell you to
think BIG,
then they tell you
to see a shrink"
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Souuuullllll!!!!
It's so interesting how most of our favorite rappers nowadays can't really freestyle off the top anymore. That in itself is art is suppose.
Whewwww Sway that intro was powerful. There is life and death in the power of the tongue and those were words of life!
Soul is 1 of 1 man. God bless family
Aahhh this made me so excited for the album and happy for Herb! Much love from the west coast!
I want an entire Ab-Soul X Lupe Fiasco album
Maannnn they ain’t ready but I would love that
@@suleymandibba62 they have a few songs together
T.R.O.N. and Thorns & Horns and another one but I forgot.
@@eltronado1547 world runners
@@eltronado1547 oh trust brotha I’ve listened to all of their collabs. Two of my favorite artists. I’m just saying them doing a whole project together would be crazy.
Would spend mad years dissecting their bars lmao
You ain't never Seen a Junkie so Freshhhhh.❤
I love his voice. We dont hear enough of it.
It’s blessing to have dude back. If anybody got anything bad to say about soul, I got problems with you and you obviously got problems with yourself. So glad this nigga back.
🔥 🥵 cmon AB.....LET'S GOOOO!!!!!! GO TO HAVE HIM BACK!!!! STRAIGHT BARS!!!
This man has a great soul on him ⭐️
Salute to Ab-Soul and Sways’ crew⛪️
I hope that all is well for everyone here and I hope that you all have a great and memorable day today.
The real ones will always love AB SOUL 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Soul word play is some of the greatest I've ever heard.
We love you Herb a lot of us will never give up on our dreams because of you. We RUN WE RUN WE RUN THIS WORLD
Herb! Ab Soul it's good to see you out here brother
I found out my brother passed this morning and went back to this interview because I'm inspired by Ab-Soul, Black Hippy and TDE. I miss you my boy love hope God and the angels helping you get use to the upper room.🙏🙏
Condolences to your families loss ❤
@Mike Austin I appreciate you thank you
Sway, my man... I love you. Recognizing the messiah right in front of you!!!
Those were literally some of the most potent bars I’ve heard in ages dawg…..and he was fucking around…..my god….
You came a long way. Illuminate, rappers shit and turn me up soul (Soul and Dot) move me always!
"THEY TELL YOU TO THINK BIG , THEN THEY TELL YOU TO SEE A SHRINK"
