[SUGEKNIGHTJR.]

it would be a great contribution to hip hop, if JAY-Z the mogul spoke beyond a punk ass whisper, and a majority of NYC rappers articulated more than a "know what i'm saying" "smell me" or promoting or plugging thier up coming project....

bun is very intelligent. it pisses me off sometimes when u have these real smart dudes and u can tell that they have to dumb it down in their interviews. lol at jay's "whisper" and saying "ummm ummm" between every other word.

[SUGEKNIGHTJR.]

lol at jay's "whisper" and saying "ummm ummm" between every other word.

Yeah and he always does that in the presence of white men......he could be with Toure' all day and be sounding smooth as a muthaphuka..but put his monkey ass in front of Wolf Blitzer and his ass is shaking like Ali......

[Apey]

Bun seems like a smart dude. I never really realized that until I read this interview -

http://www.believermag.com/issues/200606/?read=interview_bun_b

it's a couple of years old, but a good read if you're a fan...

[the come up]

Yeah, Bun is well spoken he's definitely more polished than I would imagine. His answers were very detailed. Although,I have no problem with people cluttering their dialogue with "Umms" or "Smell Me" as long as they are getting a point across.

[Jigganaut]

He speaks so well

:laugh: this is a good damn interview..im busting out laughing as well as being educated just a few paragraphs into it.....the interviewer asked him about growing up in Port Arthur as a youth, and he gave an answer like one of my old socialogy professors...

"well port arthur was incorporated as a city in the late 1800's blah blah blah...

gottdamn.... bun is a trip

you can see where he got his BLUNT COMMENTARY from, his mother is just straight up with him:

From my parents? My parents never actually heard Southern Way. My mother didn’t really understand I was a rapper ’til probably around “Big Pimpin.’”

BLVR: Really?

BB: My parents are from a whole different culture. My parents are from small-town Louisiana. It’s like, if it walk like a duck, talk like a duck, then it’s a duck. And if you ain’t quacking, you ain’t no duck. My mom’s whole thing was, “Why ain’t you on TV? Everybody else that makes music is on TV.” So I’m like, “Well, they don’t really deal with Southern people.” And she’s like, “That’s not true, ’cause Ray Charles is from the South and James Brown is, too.” :laugh: it's almost like she saying fukk your rap nicca you ain't famous :laugh:

[Bathing Ape da goat]

lol @ "cough syrup epidemic"

[the come up]

lol @ "cough syrup epidemic"

LMAO!! I thought that was funny too. Also, the part were he said there will be no references to "Sippin' Syrup" on his album.

[BigE214]

lol @ "cough syrup epidemic"

nikka it is what it is...u can damn near get that sh!t anywhere from anybody out here and nikkaz think that sh!t is cool..i bet nikkaz cant get it like that, and dont be on it like nikkaz out here do..

[RAZAH CUTS]

Bun's always been a class act man......wish him the best in the coming years.....had to say goodbye to one of his best friend's way too soon...feel for him....

us new york savages dont die from sippin codiene.... fukin idiots.

[SUGEKNIGHTJR.]

He's giving the best analysis of the complexities of being ANDRE 3000 the "mc" i've ever heard:

BUN B.: The problem for Andre 3000 is that there is no Andre 3000 for him. And that’s what bothers him. It used to be people—the Big Daddy Kanes, the Chubb Rocks—people who just attacked the game differently. And I don’t think there’s enough people doing that now.

:yes: so true...weezy is punchline entertaining, lupe is intriguing but NOT mindblowing , and the rest of the game just got nice songs, but no one in that MAINSTREAM level really is a challenge to ANDRE 3000

"get a book you illiterate son of a byatch and step up your VOCAB!!!"youre choking off dude's dik over an interview.

[Nima]

http://www.dubcnn.com/interviews/bunb08-part2/

Dubcnn: What are your predictions for the direction the game is going to take this year?

Honestly? I don't see the trends changing anytime soon. So anybody that's got a problem with radio and Hip-Hop right now, I don't see the trend of what's selling just changing right off the bat. I think people are going to start accepting the fact that they can make some money from rap, and not necessarily to moving scan units. Everybody got problems with digital sales, but there are people who are selling a lot of digital record, and that's the future of music, not just the future of rap music, that's the future of music! So you might as well get on the ****in' train!

In a minute, we're all gonna be ringtone artists, because the physical aspect of buying an album from a store is getting almost tiresome for the consumers. Like I look at Apple just making this deal with Blockbuster to rent movies online. That's it! Between Netflix and that, it's a wrap! Why should you spend the gas and the time to go rent a movie from Blockbuster? You know what I'm saying? So that's it! Now, thank God that I come from a generation of people that's gotta have their records, gotta have their albums.


Dubcnn: I love having the artwork, the production credits and all that.

Yeah but if you buy the digital album, you get the digital booklet now! You buy an album from iTunes, you get the artwork, it's just digital!


Dubcnn: True...

You feel me? Like I said, this is Houston, we have a car culture, this is a car city, people listen to their music and damn near spend most of their life in cars. *****s gotta have that **** to put in the CD player. A lot of *****s I know, they hood *****s, they ain't computer savvy like that, so they got no PC to plug their Mp3 player to, they not in that loop! That's why a lot of them *****s be forced to buy bootlegs, cause it's like "Damn I need this album!" But *****s is digitally getting their hands on **** before a ***** can get the **** physically. *****s that buy bootlegs that are 30+, they eventually go buy the album, but 18 and under, they don't do that. But for the most part, this **** is switching over. So don't diss the fans, they're just doing what they can do get the music, don't diss the fans!


Dubcnn: I remember last time we talked, you said that through this evolution, the value of a song is going down, it doesn't have the same value as it had before. So what does that mean for the future of music? I mean if a song loses its value, the art loses its value, so where's that gonna end up?

Well, I mean that's kinda hard to say.


Dubcnn: It's a scary thought though..

It's a very real thought! Not that there aren't still going to be people that appreciate music, but is there going to be music for them to appreciate? You know? I think that's a problem. You can't get mad at the stores, cause they're stocking it. It's kind of hard for the consumer. It's like "Who's your argument with?"

The artists who are getting played have no say as to who doesn't get play! So why get mad at the kid that's number 1, because your guy isn't number 1? The guy who's number has nothing to do with whether your guy is number 1! You know what I'm saying? A lot of people are mad, they have this anger, they wanna be mad at somebody, but they don't really know who to be mad at! If you're a consumer, you gotta be mad at yourself!


Dubcnn: That's true, cause most of the people complaining, ain't the ones buying the records either... The whole problem is that we're too greedy to go spend $15 on something we can for free!

Yeah! And the people who are so about the morals and standards of music, they are the ones who are the most computer savvy! They are the ones that are the least likely to be paying for music. I'm just being real. That's it. It's just something that everybody is going to have to deal with. Everybody is going to have to reassert their connections with their fanbase, through whatever means possible. But I will say this, in 2008, don't rely on your MySpace page to connect you to your people! That's a very big problem that a lot of artists are having.

People think that because they have friends or whatever, like "I got 150,000 friends on MySpace!". Okay, so does Bobby down the street! What's the ****in' difference?! Cause at the end of the day, we know how many artists are really controlling their MySpace pages and how many aren't. So are you really connecting to the people? Do you really have time to talk back and forth with 150,000 people online? **** no! But Bobby down the street does, though! *laughs* It's like, let's be real! I'm not saying **** MySpace, but **** thinking that MySpace is going to save your career! You getting your ass in a car on the road is going to save your career.

MySpace keeps you aware of where your career stands. MySpace helps you be aware of how many people still **** with you. But you can't MySpace beat-em-over-the-head, cause you're not the only ****in' friend they got! You're not the only artist, just because they're on your page. Mutha****as probably got a thousand artists in their profile. You gotta get out there and physically touch these people, that's all it is to it. But if you think that 150,000 MySpace friends equals 150,000 sales, you're blind, buddy! *laughs*


Dubcnn: That's like saying everybody who hears a song on the radio is going to buy it.

Of course! That's being blind! That's like saying everybody that calls into the radio to request your record is going to buy it! Blind! *laughs*


Dubcnn: You gave the definition of "Gangsta" on your new single, do you think that over the years the meaning of that word has changed?

Of course, man, of course it has. The whole point of making that record, was looking at the state of the hood, and looking at the state of ****, I'm just tripping off where you Dickies from in 2007, 2008! That **** alone ****s me up! Like you buy Dickies in a mall in the same store that sells pink ****! That **** got it twisted, they got the gangster uniform in a store right next to Phat Farm & Sean John, like that **** is cool! I don't know man, it's just that the streets is ****ed up, and the *****s that's dictating where the streets go, most of them ain't real!

Most of the real *****s that used to keep the streets in line, they're getting snitched on! These weak *****s is snitching on all the real *****s, and there's no real *****s left to deal with these snitch *****s, and then these snitch *****s go and tell these young *****s that it's cool to do whatever. It's ****ed up, you know? It's ****ed up! I know how this **** used to be, and it ain't like it used to be, man. That **** makes me so goddamn mad man, it's ****ed up because you don't want to give up on the kids man. If you grow up here, you live here, you're probably not gonna do more than your parents did.

It's like they're programming that **** to the kids, you know? And if you look at how much money is being diverted, just money that should be going into the city in general is being diverted to finance the war, that **** got a lot to do with what's going on now too! Rich people have to try hard to get their kids proper education, so what the **** chance does a poor man have? The country prides itself on free education, but the education that they giving for free is bull****! You know what I'm saying?


Dubcnn: And nobody thinks about what's going on, cause we're getting distracted by entertainment, everywhere we go..

It would be different if it was just sitcoms, soaps and **** like that, but reality TV has really ****ed up America's youth. For one, Its got everybody thinking that that's reality! That's bull****! For two, look at the people who are successful with their reality TV shows, people think that those people are stars! That's not real! It's all ****ed up, it's all twisted, and nobody is going to realize it until it's way too late, you know?

[SUGEKNIGHTJR.]

Yeah i seen that shyt in the mall the other day too, the same store that is selling 300 dollar EVISU jeans has a big ass DICKIES outfit display right next to it....

"gangsta fashion" is marketable...look at all the bandana styled fashion being worn by all these B2K like negroes

[the come up]

I find it funny that gansta rappers like Bun and 50 come off more intelligent than the "alledge" conscious "lyricists" with like Nas,Common and Lupe who can barely string a sentence together.

that's because most of these "conscious" cats wear thier INTELLEGENCE on thier SLEEVE, when in reality they are trying to compensate for something.

brothers like Bun B. know that thier is a time and place to be profound....plus it's not good to get caught up in aesthetics , some of the most ignant looking brothers i've met in scrip clubs , on corners and just dranking with have some of the most enlightented minds...

yup. Lupe makes sense at times though
...hes just young and kinda naive.

nas been smoked out since 1996-97.

Common used to do shrooms and all types of weird sheet wit Badu.

both them dudes got very little brain cells left.
curtis is a coon so I disagree wit that.

[GERMONE]

:dry:

a good interview and then they go move this over to the beef forum. and they leave flo rida and master p threads on the main page SMH.

[LukeCage888]

that's because most of these "conscious" cats wear thier INTELLEGENCE on thier SLEEVE, when in reality they are trying to compensate for something.

No, it's just that some intelligent, analytical thinkers have a hard time articulating their words into impromptu speech and are much better preparing their ideas.

They have a deficit in impromptu public speaking. It doesn't mean they're trying to compensate for something. Albert Einstein was a poor speaker. It sounds like you're the one trying to compensate for something with your constant attacks on "conscious rappers."

Nas and Common definitely need to step their interview game up, but I think the value of one's ideas are more important than being able to say, "He speaks so well!"
