RIP Ben Hammerton 🙏
Finally someone actually interviewed Smack about filming battle rap during the early day. Everyone else just ask him about upcoming battles and league drama 😂
Fr this fire asf
You should watch Smack's interview on The Danza Project. It's much longer.
@@acpjrtbh i watched it before, it was a good interview until halfway through and for some reason everyone decided to just turn into life coaches and spend the rest of the interview talking about "giving out free games" 😅 Like I turned in to listen to Smack telling stories about filming DVD, not motivational speech 😂
“Mr. Know What I Mean”, “Mr. Know What I’m Sayin”, “Mr. Ya Heard”, and “Mr. At The End Of The Day” HIMSELF!!!! SMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDACK
Rum nitty vs ill will this bout to be a classic battle, I’m calling it a classic before it happens because that’s what I do, I’m smack aka Mr. classic
Also "Mr. Actually"
😂😂😂 someone noticed at'a end'uh d'day 😂😂😂😂
Smack needs to do a Netflix special and take all them old tapes out the vault and show everybody what we've been watching for 15 years😮
I think they got one in the works. If you remember when Surf battled JC when Surf was doing interviews after the faceoffs he had a camera crew following him. I believe that was a part of filming for the documentary. And when they did them battles in in that lil alley I believe it was Saga vs Castro that was a part of it too.
This sound 🔥🔥🔥
We need to see some of those vaulted battles too. That's like half of Cortez' catalog.
The smack vaulted battles he is sitting on is wild to me @@tehcrazGaming
Smack giving Avo all his flowers was beautiful
No way!!!!!! Does this mean you and smack gone work together again cuz if so battle rap bout to be up 🔥
They stopped because of Caffeine. Now that Caffeine is out the paint, they back to live action.
I hope so. We need his quality control. Been way too many trash battles
This is a historic piece of art that belongs in the Smithsonian
A man of culture 🫡
Shout out to Avocado and everyone else at Ruin Your Day, this is a really cool and insightful video, and probably the most I've seen Smack go into detail about filming the classic SMACK DVD battles. Documenting this kind of history is super important, and I'm glad to see Smack talk about all this.
14:56 “Montamental” 🤣🤣
Salute smack but this man has a speech impediment
"MOOMINT!" 😂
Salute to Avo for getting Smsck to answer questions 😂😂😂
I always wanted to see Smack do a Volume at the Rucker Park. That would be so crazy & bring back that old DVD vibe.
That would be 🔥
Thats the best idea ive ever heard.do a new STREET volume series.start at the rucker,then do 1 in philly.that would be fuc*ing CRAZY tho salute
It's crazy when he said he was out in the rain trying to get Busta on film for some bars. That's deep because he went from trying to get those big names on film to those big names coming to a Smack event to watch HIM! Crazy how hard work pays off.
This was almost like a mini Battle Rap “VH1 Behind the Music”… We NEED this to be a series where the heavyweights of the culture get asked these really meaningful and personal questions and be given a chance to tell their side of amazing moments we all remember. I’d love to see ARP, Organik, Lux, Mook, T-Rex, Tay Roc, Clips, Verb, Arsenal, Math Hoffa, Dizaster and I could think of dozens more I’d love to see discuss historic battle rap stories and moments.
Smack created an era and helped other battle rap groups find their peak by giving talented people a shot on stage. He's the goat fr.🔥💯
this is fire Avo, salute 🙏🏽
I hope one day we can see url vs kotd
.seeing smack on ruin your day is actually the craziest shit all year to me
Watch w/ SMACK would go crazy
Best Smack Interview in a long time 💯
Take a shot every time Smack says Nahm-sayeen
You trying to kill me?
Love seeing you & Smack reunited. I would love to see you & JB produce something crazy this year
If URL dropped more content like this reminding the fans of all the work they put in they'd get way less hate. Shout out to probably the two biggest people who have helped build this culture that arent rappers, Smack and Avo
Smack is a real Godfather to this battle ish. From his raw classic Smack DVD era showcasing different battlers, rappers that became well known to creating the largest battle rap league globally. This man deserves a legacy award. Smraaaacckkkk
Thank you for going behind the scenes with the face of battle rap Avo. I'm sure SMACK was relieved to not get asked TMZ questions for once.
Finally, a normal conversation instead of compromised media kissing his ass and Smack giving canned answers. Smack said "I'm a cameraman" and to see what a cameraman built over time is quite impressive and inspiring. It's no surprise there isn't a close second to URL, there isn't an entrepreneur willing to dedicate their life to building a hiphop business.
Well in defense of that...avo not asking no messy ass political questions....when u not focused on the negative the interviews feel more comfy and open
yooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I know Organik has done a handful of interviews but I hope this ends up a series where Avo interviews pillars of battlerap from league owners to huge battlers and even people behind the scenes that we may not fully know a lot of.
I do in fact know what you mean and i also know what you're sayin
This was amazing. You can tell smack really enjoyed this
Been waiting for this moment for fucking years bro. Smack and Avo 2 real ones. Much love.
Imagine the world of battle rap without Avo -- seriously would not exist as it does today. You're the consistent link between leagues and cultures, man. Can't possibly overstate your importance or legacy
LEGENDARY!!!!!! ❤
Seeing smack on cam feeding the streets is good for the culture..::: Them days of smack being behind the camera are done … we been needing to see smack outside regularly!!! 💎💎💎
REUNION , so dope ! ❤🔥
This couldve been a 2 hour long interview and I would've loved every moment.
This is great stuff! Great job, Avocado!
That get Smack TFOH!!! Line was a moment in history
Facts BarGod!!!
Can’t put a Mount Rushmore without Smack White 💯
🐐Salute to Smack. I rememeber when he was the camera man! he didnt even have a beard yet! "hold it down! hold it down nahmsayin!" Godfather of Battle Rap.
This was great thank you!
This is dope! Salute RYD!!
Didn't they let Avocado go because of their Caffeine partnership? Good to see them on good terms. Honestly, it's really interesting to see Smack in this way. It's been so easy to hate on the man over the business of URL, you almost forgot Smack is a person. You never really think about the fact that Smack was right there behind the camera during the ultra classic dvd battles.
I'd love to see RYD and URL get back together for the big moments. Avo, great work putting illustration to Smack's words and great questions. That opener just about the camera is heavy heavy. Those throwback clips are incredibly nostalgic.
Yeah this is awesome man 🎉
Ahhhh! I've been waiting for this a long time! LETS GOOOOOO!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Best content as usual! 🙌🏻🇦🇷
This interview should’ve been longer
Thats crazy, thats so true. Smack was just a camera man but he's done so much for the culture since that no one looks at him that way
Been waiting for this
I enjoy the interview. Love from nigeria 🇳🇬
Dope interview.
great interview!
This is dope as hell
Amazing!!!!!!!!!
Nice interview 💯🔥
Good interview.
🔥interview
Great interview Avo
Certified legends. Thank you both for the contributions you’ve made to battle rap. This culture is not the same without you.
Long overdue 💯
Awesome
This is so cool !!
This is fucking amazing!
🔥🔥🔥
Oh wow 🔥
14:57 this is part of why smack is the greatest.....but seriously thanks for investing your time during your come up to showcase this aspect of hip hop, met you both at sm10 in London RIP Pat Stay
Avo you should do this type of interview for Beasley too and all the great battle rappers. You on to something with this one. Salute
13:18 This the best part of the video. 😂😂😂😂😂
#Nice 👍🏾💯🔥
Regardless how mfs feel about how URL does business today, Smack deserves his flowers at the end of the day. I still remember the first time I saw the Mook v Jae Millz battle. The homie showed me on KZhead after school. That was the first battle I ever watched… I was a freshman in high school… this shit was damn near 20 years ago. I’ve been in love with the art ever since. Smack and his camera created a whole generation of battle rap fans. Salute to the 🐐
I hope battle rappers finally let go of any misgivings for AVO and come on watch battles again.
I think smack should do it again to find more raw talent. It would be dope to see it again. Make it a series or something.
All respect to Smack White. Undeniably the Godfather of Battle Rap. Very glad to see the reuniting of you and Avo, the universe has corrected itself. Where is the 3 hour version of this interview? We will listen. Two real legends, much love.
Respek where Respek is due
🐐
A watch episode wit smack would be legendary
Facts
This is sick
(in a good way😂)
It's gotta be a part 2
When they call you they "brother" .. GET A LAWYER AND GET AWAY
Glad wasnt no hard feelings with Avo and Smack lingering over from that caffeine situation. Avos a good dude ans could have easily ans justifiably still felt a way about what transpired between them. 👏🏿
True, but the situation is more likely that "Ruin Your Day" could not get on Caffeine's list of approved vendors to work with, whereas JB could and ended up becoming URL's head of production even after the Caffeine deal expired. I think I spotted JB in the background at the most recent Riot event in Orlando (where URL is coincidentally building out some kind of facility). I suspect there's a much closer relationship between Bullpen, The Riot, Ruin Your Day, and all these other battle rap companies to URL than the general public realizes...
This is history right here nah'mean
Mr. "IMA NEED EVERYBODY TO TAKE TWO STEPS BACK! PLEECE!"
Smack the goat
Two other haymakers where Smack noticeably reacted: Shine walk through em against Verb and Surf tar heels vs T Top
SMACK! I STILL NEED MOOK VS SERIUS 2! We need a "Settle the score" battle card on those legendary DVD debatables!!!
when Surf come home , having him on a segment of Watch with Jaz and Geechi , or maybe the rest of guntitles would be MONUMENTAL Avo .
💥💥💥
My first cam was a pd150 also. we got it at a discount… 😉
2 things i hope kyle starts to film again for smack, and i hope smack is on watch
Well, this was unexpected. Good energy though. Love that
Smarrrrcccccckkkkkkkk
What up avocado!
Don Demarco next!
This was dope. Plz do more interviews 🙏🏽
Who else think unc has a mean sixteen up his sleeves !? CULTURE❤💜
Avo getting his Vlad on.
📈📈📈
"You couldn't live with your own failure. Where did that bring you, back to me"? -Avacado, post Caffeine
I don't get the chance to kick it with him 1 on 1 on 1 😂😂😂
Imagine doing a kotd vs url card. Strictly as a competitive fun thing
Moral of the story.... Nahmean Nahmsayin
