On May 3, 2024, Saigon put out an album *_The Jordan Era_* which is actually fire. He and the producer Fredro did an 80s and 90s inspired album. Also on May 3, you had Havoc, Ras Kass and RJ Payne put out their collabo album *_Guttr_* which also deserves more attention. You should bring them on the program to promote their projects.
I NEVER KNEW WHY The WakeUp Show w/ Sway & Tech went off the air (it used to air on 106JAMZ in Chicago) but I remember THE FIRST TIME I saw Sway on MTV and gave the TV a standing ovation 😂😂 it was a LEVEL UP for HipHop ✊🏽💯
Folks quit to forget we were getting dope collabs around the clock during the Rawkus days. It was nothing to hear your favorite line up of emcees behind dope production. I'm glad they touched on it though.
I agree cause 1-9-9-9 is still a classic with Sadat x and common and hi tek. It's about learning and growing and teaching properly . Let's bring back common sense amongst mindsets and realness from the heart. Golden times again,
Her interpretation of them lyrics is why I don't like when people try to force feed my way of thinking. Yes the writer has his meaning. But when it's out in the world. Critical thinkers level them lyrics up. This is why when I'm quoted. I ask whomever why and what's their true understanding of that particular poem/rhyme lyric or statement. She made them think higher. That's building. Judge Wise my people. Peace

This was the most enjoyable interview I have seen in a while. What is going on right now? ❤ From being a Dollar Borrowing Soul Survivor to filling The Auditorium, Common and Pete Rock got my nose open. #hiphop4life
Yo bro God bless Common and Pete for what they've been doing for Hip Hop forever now, Love the positive vibes they bring we need more of this in Hip Hop much Love and Respect.
Feeling that ometimes we interpret according to our references. However, hip hop always offers opportunities for reflection and understanding of reality. It was a delight moment watching this meeting. 👏👏👏
Common, one thing you gift with words have influence and your rhyme (words) lifts the music its something different, deep and thought provoking , well done as always! Big up Peter Rock you dun know your ting different yeh man ..up like 7 !!!!!!!
I don't understand why 'The B!tch in Yoo' is not mentioned in "The Greatest Diss Track" argument. Remember, Rasheed was the 1st to merc Aubrey. One of Chi-Towns GODS🎤👑
@@omarromero7571 It was a statement that Common and Pete Rock said in the interview. i guess it becomes q debate if people are in opposition to those terms when describing hiphop. Sway seemed fine with it. Three prominent voices in hiphop world.
“There hasn’t been a battle that was That back and forth”… Rocafella vs D-Block. Mixtapes. Radio show takeovers. Songs. Live Concert Freestyles. When Beans remade Put Ya Hands Up… still The Hardest diss freestyle EVER.
If you in the Community of hip hop, You want to be in the Culture of hip hop, Once you in the Culture, you are a Citizen of Hip Hop. Peace to 1 of my favorite MC's to this day, and the best Vocally in tuned interviewer who's voice brings the 3 C's to life..
Super dope interview Sway!! Big salute to Pete Rock and Common for being stand up dudes. Love the new track and I'm excited to hear the collab album. The biggest problem with AI in music is ownership. If I write down my lyrics I have a "natural copywrite", Its not an official document but I still own the rights to the music. If you use an AI for any part of your musical process you don't own that music anymore. The company who made the original AI does. Secondly, are you are lyricist if you have ghost writers? We have to set a standard for certain titles so we can protect the development of Hip Hop culture. I know AI will always be apart of our world but creativity cant be taught because their original thoughts.
The sample is from the great Marley Marl and Mc Shan called queens bridge,,,mega hit! I had a show with Shan at Hartford Civic center.I play Biz Markie in All up in the Biz.
From working with No I.D., J Dilla, DJ Premier, Kanye West, and now Pete Rock. Common truly has led a charmed musical career.
Don't forget Large Professor!!

If Common was from New York he would easily be on everybody top 5. His catalogue is incredible.
Legit. One of the greats.
Even my Mama likes Common Sense!!!❤
It ain't where ya from its where u at. He's from Chi and he still should be top 5 anyway.
I say the same thing about Twista and Lupe

A Gemini and a Pisces. Word life! The DJ and the Emcee.
Kanye- Common ( same connection)
I still wish for another CL Smooth/Pete Rock album.
They worked great together. Absolutely fire!!
They got issues
Facts 👌
Me too😁✌🏿❣ Their chemistry musically is just on another level❣
Won't happen. Look like they may have reconciled to an extent but CL was ready to beat Pete ass for something personal.
BE is my go to album from Common….I wish we could get another Pete Rock & CL Smooth album too‼️

💪🏾👍🏾 one of my favorite cuts.
Much love to both of these Titans!
One hundred percent. This melody is just incredible, one of the best ever.
But the most Pete-Rocky beat ever is probably Nothin Lesser with the U.N.
Com' sense and Pete Rock are components of the era of Hip Hop before it became an art form.
Question, wasn't Hip Hop always an artform? It may be more of a hustle now but when did it change and who are the "artist" that changed it?
@@johnrose1908he stopped using the term culture and decided on art form because it’s still art, but doesn’t necessarily reflect the culture. As in its became so commercialized
These two guys, absolutely legendary, music in 2024 ? It’s a blessing ❤
Electric Circus & Like Water for Chocolate will forever be 2 of the greatest rap records to me, start to finish.
Sway got JOKES!! 😅
L.w.f.c ,be n 1day n resurrection n finding forever > electric circus
Love 2 see Pete. Over the years he rarely did interviews. One of My Idols!!!
A blessing of an interview. What a time to be alive.
That radio one story is crazy!!
But man this interview was great, all those stories.....real oral history right here
Rap/hip hop Black Americas gift to the world. Funk and R&B are the DNA of rap/ hip hop. Salute to the true pioneers from from 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s.

Still listening 🎧 to The Auditorium Vol 1 - for the 4th time and on each listen I hear something New! 🔥
Really appreciate this video.
I've been questioning the use of 'culture' for over a decade. I LOVE this... #MTVERNON
The Art Form and The Community is better than culture when referring to hiphop. ( Common and Pete Rock both agree 👍🏾 )
Is this a debate now?

Two iconic guys in music man , salute Pete & Common my fav artists 💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Can't wait for this masterpiece!!!
legendary. cant wait for the project!
Incredible song, we're waiting you in French Festival 👊👊👊
This track is AMAZING!!!!!! The 90’s vibe will destroy today’s rhyme pattern . This track is what Hip Hop is about
“There hasn’t been a battle that was That back and forth”… Rocafella vs D-Block. Mixtapes. Radio show takeovers. Songs. Live Concert Freestyles. When Beans remade Put Ya Hands Up… still The Hardest diss freestyle EVER.
This was a one on one battle
Common is a legend
It's nice to hear when someone really knows what they're talking about like Sway
Superb show really enjoyed that , Wise Up is a banger ,from UK 🇬🇧

Common & pete , Nas & premo in '24
I was just bumping wise up and then this notification pops up a minute later
Man that freestyle was 🔥🔥🔥 commons always been too much can't wait for this project 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Common has looked the exact same since 1999 . Him and Pharrell Williams found the fountain of youth
I definitely thought Com was referencing DeBeers with the jewels in his tears line! Crazy 🔥🔥🔥
Pete, diamond, madlib, tip, extra, alchemist, havoc should do an album..producers that spit
'You Can't Stop The Prophet" is my favorite Pete Rock remix.
Amazing interview!

Reminds me of a few years ago when I saw Common hyping up Ray Wimbley outside the CVS on Canal in Nawlins during Essence Fest weekend.
“Spoke my mind like my brain’s in the wheel of a bike” 🔥

"You building a studio with floating floors??" Sway knows the deal...
