What could you say to the young MCs? Like, what type of advice would you give to them?
John BrownGUEST
Well, I think the first thing that I would say is part of the reason that I'm as good as I am is because I listened to a lot of hip hop, okay? I listened to a lot and I memorized other people's raps and I would sit and I would rap Buckshot's raps and I would rap Mos Def's raps and I would rap Black Thought, you know? And I would practice how to actually vocalize the things that they were doing, which then made it easier for me when I went to write my own stuff to incorporate that without...
John BrownGUEST
you know, without it feeling like I was copying, you know what I mean? Because the first thing you want to do is be original and you want to make sure that you have your own voice and you don't want to be like anybody else.
John BrownGUEST
I think that the biggest mistake that a lot of these youngsters make is that they just try to imitate whatever sound is the popular sound at that time.
LiamHOST
I guess it's been a minute since I stepped onto the mic because there's lots to get to still.
LiamHOST

No, he's just saying Avenue A for some reason.

NickHOST
he don't think he's the best all the time.
NickHOST
Like he thinks, because he was saying like, man, it's a dude named Black Thought out there.
NickHOST
It's a dude named Lupe out there.
NickHOST
He was like, I don't think, you know, like do I walk around in my everyday life saying I'm the best? Yeah.

James AllenHOST
He rapped on Eminem's beat.
James AllenHOST
I'm at an away game.
James AllenHOST
You get what I'm saying? Like, Wayne had all them people on his album, the intro, Tech N9ne, Lupe and Black Thought, all these people that like The underground people that it's cool to name, to kind of identify with hip-hop fans, but you really wouldn't work with them.
James AllenHOST
And you can't say, is you bigger or something like that.

Ben CarterHOST
There are some exceptions.
Ben CarterHOST
I Won't Be Afraid, which is the second last song featuring Black Thought.
Ben CarterHOST
And the production on that is really powerful.
Ben CarterHOST
Black Thought comes through and knocks it out of the park as expected.
Ben CarterHOST
There's a lot of features on here too, including Drake, which actually gave the game the least amount of words he's ever dropped on an official guest verse.
Ben CarterHOST
Just 68 words.

Ben CarterHOST
Sonically, it's just perfection.
Ben CarterHOST
And then lyrically, when she does decide to rap, it's got all the incisiveness you'd expect from a top tier MC.
