Conway dropped a jewel, "You gotta know what to take from the streets and what to leave behind..." Love that 💯
Real shit ...if you bring the wrong shit with you it will bring you down
Lol that’s kinda obvious
Certified jewel
A no brainer if you smart.
Tragedy look like if Ghostface and Aries Spears did the Fusion dance lol
Yooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dog 😂 lol
Him and Ghost are real life cousins
Lol...hell yea...
He looks like Styles P sometimes to
I know Conway was like damn why I’m here after a while 🤣😂
hes obviously one of those dudes that cant smoke and talk
Nah he part of hip hop history.....
@@jonathansoko1085 naw if u watch any of the Griselda interviews conway just sits back and lets other people talk you have to ask him stuff he’s a closed off guy that’s why I wish it was a solo interview
@@niceguy3290 facts. And I think nore knew that, thats why it wasn't a solo interview.
Lol. Fax
Conway is the nephew between two of his drunk uncles at the family dinner
Chill😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
💯😂😂
Conway is so comfortable right now. He just fits in with the legends. He's just soaking it all in. But...but he needs to come back for a full Conway interview.
Absolutely..... Trag n Nore have too much history they both needed separate episodes
Word
They shitted on prodigy....thats why
Conway needed to be on alone
Facts....with benny and westside too
These Griselda brothers rhyme like they STARVING! 🔥🔥🔥👑👑👑
They from Buffalo New York they are hungry 🤷
They remind me of if Rae the chef had a group.
EXACTLY
Who’s here after that fake clip with nore and tragedy about to fight 😂😂
😂😅😅😂😂😂😂 ME AND U BOTH 🖕🏿🖕🏿 them
Meeeeee..
I’m here @ 4:20am on 1/25/21
Yooooo sooooo he spliced it up... Fooled the shit out of me
I didn't watch kuz I called unc & he told me it was fake they jus chopped it up like that to get people to watch..
Conway deserved his own episode
Right all that clown shyt made me feel uncomfortable
SO DOES YOUR MOTHER
That's what I'm saying brother I love his music
Tragedy is very proud of Nore. The lil bro, that he believed in the most. Took his lessons and blew. He's genuinely and proudly showing love.
But Conway definitely has to come back through. Please invite that brother back soon..
@@rg5856 facts. He needs a one on one.
@@704OMEN or better yet, a FIVE on one when Conway comes back with WestSide Gunn, Benny, Daringer and Kesha
He actually believed in Pone the most and told Nore to step it up lyrically. Back then pone was like nas with the vivid storytelling but could never leave the streets enough to blow. Pone got locked up, Nore got some neptunes beats and the rest is history.
@@user-fr5pt3ou3tthat's not true at all. Nore carried that album. Bloody money and live on live long??? Shittt
Trag is far underrated. One of the strings that held the fabric of hip hop together. He’s interwoven throughout this entire game.
I was just saying Trag might be the most underrated ever.
@Obadiah1776: Artifacts. 👑👑👑
He had three styles that made it. Kid, Intelligent, Khadafi
Since the 80's. Pioneer!
@@sinceremarks8529 facts
I was done with hip hop on the real. Then I heard Griselda. Benny n Conway are monsters. West got the best beat selection .
I was done wit rapp den I heard griselda n realized not one of em is colombian...n I was still done wit rapp
@@food4thoughttopenureyez172 clown
I agree yo his whole style is unmatched
@@food4thoughttopenureyez172 ever heard crime Apple
jus say westside is trash...its ok if u dont have to like him 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man seeing nas and trag kicking it like that and spitting bars back n forth.. that's some ill shit.any 90's hip hop heads that grew up on all them queens niggas can truly appreciate this moment
Felt that! And I’m not even from queens
Queens get the da money!
Pure💯Facts
Conway deserves his own episode or at least a full Griselda episode.
He deserves an apology too. This interview was quite disrespectful to be honest.
716!
Ghost & tradg are cousins
Thanks for saying this. I feel the same way.
I couldn’t have said that better. I feel like that wasn’t a good mix because it became about something other than the impact Conway and Griselda are having on hip hop. Them boys are the truth! They have a story to tell and I wanna hear it
Tragedy is a legend that gets overlooked far too often for whatever reasons, but real hip hop heads know that his contributions can’t ever be denied...
its still arrest the president
He doesn’t have enough classic solo albums to be up there with the greatest but he is still a legend!
@@SCARLEMSCARS agreed. War Report, The Infamous, We Are The Streets, Enter The 36 Chambers, and Only Built For Cuban Linx are those classic classics. Tragedy got a championship ring in my book.
True,since 87Juice crew all stars
@Jersey City Lol That too. What’s the Memphis Bleek story? I haven’t heard that one.
Griselda dudes are about 40 years old and they grew up listening to 90s rap. Thats why they are the way they are. These young dudes don't know the culture, but the new sound they create os dope tho.
Yup
It is a revision or reinterpretation of the boom bap but they added their own flavor and aesthetics.
Wonder how many albums Conway wrote in his head when he was there.
Lmao yes!
Foreal
😂😂😂 bro deserves his on interview
Tragedy khadafi is the blueprint for Noreaga and most Queens rapper he is a lyrical beast an intelligent hoodlum. I have been waiting for this moment for a long time.👍🏼
That's a major fact
Hell yeah but you have to be a ol head to know
@@YoungBreeze252 the new kids will not know anything about real hip hop. Next episode cormega needs to be on and AZ
Yes, I just think the interviews should've been separate because it's so much history there. You're right though he is a beast
@@daSTARPlayer definitely tragedy should of had his own episode on drink champs. I grew up to Mobb deep, Nas, Cormega, AZ , CNN, Big Noyd most of us in West London was playing nothing but QB all day.
I love how Nore make his guest feel welcome and at home. Love KING!!
This was a Tragedy interview. Nore needs to do an interview with the entire Griselda
2:25:43 the way Tragedy said "yo how old is this nga" 😂🤣🤣 priceless.
Yo I thought he was a kid too😂when they said “shots” I thought they was gonna have apple juice for. Trag was done😂
"I'm one of the few who understands Tragedy" A beautiful double entendre on many levels 🤔
Corey!!!
Mega..
Bro is dope to me too
Five for forty, fiends like I only buy from Cory
That shit hit me when he said it
This goes to show young men that beefs happen when the parties involved don't have a clear path of communication. Any situation can be fixed when the truth is involved. Peace
💯
At the 02:46:56 Conway points out how ironic everyone’s favorite Nore line was.. “I don’t even drink like that/ I sell crack”
🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Classic
“You know me, I know you... hold’on Beloved” lmao Trag wasn’t letting Nore get that off hahahaha
Tragedy has a very interesting perspective and delivery. He’s super intelligent.
Yeah he's that proper 5 percent knowledge knowledge cat
That's a whole Fact
Intelligent hoodlum💯
@@Bigohno0 1000s of ppl are trag is an idiot
That is most New Yorkas my G but Queens most importantly. A lot of cats have the fly street lingo.
Conway had that “check please” look on his face after the first hour...
Nah that's just his face bruh
Where do nore and tragedy kadafi fight at in this interview
@@jaysonjr1224 that shit was big cap.. I sat thru that whole shit and nothing happened.. go back and look at the trailer tho.. those words wasn't even the ones coming out of nore mouth.. idk what up with the clip from conway throwing his arms up telling them to chill was at tho bc it ain't in the podcast at all..
@@giorgioatsoukalos3856 I believe they took it out bro. It was probably old hood shit
@@josephroyster7123 they may have but they definitely chopped the audio and made it completely out of context..
“You remembered me” the end of this episode was everything, touched my Soul. 🖤👑
“ A devil I know is better than a devil I don’t know”-Tragedy
Facts!!!
*Malcom X
Oh shit.....guess who said that as well.....bob johnson.....bet former owner....hmmmmm
Nigga that's not tragedy line thats an old school saying
You could always just not hang around devils. I know it’s hard to believe for dysfunctional people, but you can actually decide not to live around bullsh
Nore and Fat Joe need to get DITC on there. Lord Finesse, Diamond D, Showbiz/AG, and OC all been in the game for 30 years and worked with legends. They have stories for days
Yes sir
That's major !! Might have to be a 4-5 hour show but they gon have to cut Nore off da lik early, shit be getting outta hand late in the show
Yup.
Big facts real hip hop this what I'm talking about.
Im stuck in Conway whole kickback right now, I'm 38 and just to be able to sit and chop it up wit guys I really sat down and listened to is just a beautiful experience. I would love to just convo wit these guys and they look at you like you kept it going for the culture. It really is good for hip hop.
When conway rolled his eye back on 2:33:35 that I felt that.
I smiled so hard when Nore facetime Nas and he rap one of Tragedy verses.
Nas facetime what time
I love that too but that transition from Nas to Lil man I’m not ready 😭😭😭
@@sonzhu5984 time stamp on Nas
Damn. I ain’t even get that far. Let me stop reading comments
DON'T GET MAD, TRADEGY WHO? IS HOMIE? 1994? JUST SAYING!!! I WASN'T HERE!!! MAYBE!!! BACK THEN!!! REFRESH A HOMIE!!! 😄😄😄✊✊✊
Roc Marci is killing it independently too
Curren$y as well
Facts
Larry June From The Bay Area
All of y'all know what is 🔥🤙🏾🍊🌹
Dude from Staten Island right?
Nore : yo Conway where u cop that hat from? Conway : Palisades Mall Nore : That’s Hard...make some noise for palisades mall 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Lol wtf lol
Lmaooooo
This is by far my favorite episode and it literally took me 3 days to watch but the ending was everything and so much knowledge and history given in this! This the best podcast hands down IM KEEPING IT GREEN! In the words of TRAGEDY!✊🏽
Trag: "Well, what have you done to help.." Young Bul: "Jay-Z is my Uncle " 🤦🏿♂️
Ill fucken podcast!
Exactly
I don’t think that’s how that went...he kinda just talked over em tryna get his point across
Tragedy wanting to dap everybody all the time is mad funny. Conway's face says it all.
trag be hatting
Facts I was saying the same shit
I dont think conway face saying anything
@@jamesmoore7568 really how so tho?
@@francoirmartin6645 how tho ? Just curious
To hear legends give Conway and the rest of Griselda their bouquet 💐 while they’re here to honor and run it is a beautiful thing
Trag & Ghost is real life blood cuzins…
This episode deserves 300 million likes, too much history btwn Nore and Trag. Happy they came together to tell it. Classic.
Tragedy Khadafi’s Still Reporting album 🔥🔥🔥
Real ones know about that album
He discovered Scram Jones and give him a and r credit on that album. #25IIlife #beastmusic
@@deezy81 Yep he was using Scram b4 any of them
@@davidcampbell215 Yeah, and Scram Jones went on to produce his first big hit, Jae Millz's No, No, No, Terror Squad's Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Lloyd Banks' Work Magic, Black Rob's Ready, Notorious B.I.G.'s Just A Memory, Saigon's Let A Nigga Know and New York Streets, Fat Joe's Darkside Intro, Raekwon's Last Train To Scotland, The entirety of Styles' Float album, the majority of Nature's Pain Killer album, engineered the entire Only Built For Cuban Linx Niggahz II, Mariah Carey's Your Girl and Eminem's In Your Head.
That fall back joint in that still harder than concrete...
Tragedy: Conway you gotta go on my show Conway: hahahaha
Conway never liked how he was talking shit about Prodigy after he passed away Tragedy is a bitch. Wen p died conway said Can't Nobody disrespect the God P or he was gonna pull up!
I feel like Conway doesnt fuck with tragedy because of some comments he made about P
@@Elelyoneleven : You can tell he ain’t feeling Trag 💯
@IT HOT!!! he's almost 40, you sound hella corny for this comment, stop
@@marvelmiracle9931 I'm glad you called this out, because I already feel it was kind of a disrespectful or irresponsible setup to not give them each their own interview in the first place. Like it just doesn't make sense, especially when you should know Griselda's grind has been full of them getting slighted and not being respected individually for their come up. Plus it's just not a good look to have two greats in their own right sharing the same spotlight in the middle of these awkward ass one sided conversations. It's kinda unprofessional.
This interview had comedy, politics, real talk, special guest and a shocking moment. Best interview to date! Love to hear more from Conway tho. Drunk is always good talk.🤣
Idiot
As often times and crazy as tragedy got, he dropped alot of jewels on the back drop of queens hiphop....i grew up in the era he and nore was talkin about so you heard some of the back stories about how it was going down in that era....Conway officially got the torched passed to him from tragedy and nore on camera, but especially tragedy when he spoke of conway remembering him on Spurs 3....thats a historical moment in hip-hop culture....that was HUGE!!!....salute to Griselda records for bringing back that real hip hop back to the east coast....they really did bring the east back
Was an honor to be in the building for this greatness. A brilliant day for Hiphop. From Intelligent Hoodlum to CNN to Griselda Records, thats repping over 30 yrs of HipHop Royalty- #SaluteKings - Big ups to the entire Drink Champs staff for rolling out the red carpet for us- #DrinkChamps #OnDaChow #GriseldaRecords #LetsGo
Just started watching episodes of ya show.. love you guys salute to a hip hop legend.#trag
"It got tragedy written all over it like the war report" Conway spurs 3
Tragedy is one of my favorite. Love his word play just in his swag.
Trag isn’t acknowledged enough for his longevity. He from the era before THAT ERA also I’m glad Nore mentioned that Mega line. I always thought that was a hard bar
Facts
For real bro, well said
arrest the president "IH"
Weird Art Society I agree I think Cassidy the same way
Never heard of dude!
Tragedy deserves his own episode...
So much respect in the room I couldn’t turn this episode off when bra said eat good king to a young nigga and he a og ik con age but yk what I mean that was respect man salute
I swear, Drink Champs is on fire right now! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
This interview was all over the damn place didnt let Conway get off
Pause...
@@missbeekay9938 lol.
Cuz tragedy had nore nervy
Griselda one of my favorite groups rn
I've been rocking with griselda since 2015... They restored the feeling of hiphop for me 🙏🏾
I glad everything played out as it did with the song “I’m Leaving” I couldn’t imagine it on the “War Report” but it was a perfect fit on “The Firm” album
The G ain't lying when he talk about intelligent hoodlum and fresh prince with jasmine guy.
He aggressive with the knowledge anbd comes off a certain way buit he’s a Leo so I get it
Conway like wtf I'm doing here ??? Lol.
Yoooo Tragedy is one of my favorite all time lyricists!! His verses on LA, LA. Gengis Khan, Scarfaces are soooo nice
🔥I watched the whole episode and I love it! Big Ups to everybody and I’m glad y’all got what you wanted off your chests💪🏻! I love Real Hip Hop!🔥
I need a full Conway interview
Seriously
1 in 1
I can happily watch a new drink Champs every week! Ty revolt!
Trag is too real and love his passion.
Tragedy deserves more respect & props that he gets. Dude is super talented, and slept on. ill voice & delivery. I put him in the same class as Kool G Rap. Both dudes are old school but can rap circles around both new & old mc's.
Tragedy Khadafi has one of the greatest songs in Hip Hop with Permanently Scarred.
real pain on a beat
Yo the best ever !!!!
Calm Down is my shit
@@YoungBreeze252 no bullshit they was all in they bag on that joint ..nas with the story telling, nore with the unorthodox style Spanglish..and tragedy just being the street scholar that he is🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah you right 🏆
We don't SAMPLE like Puff Daddy We sample like HAVOC...
Facts nigga! HAVOC THE DON
Cant say that ain't real shit
Aww man, Havoc was untouchable at one point with the beats
I think pío coming out the cut was the best plot twist in drink champs history 😂🤦🏻♂️
Tragedy is the most underrated of all time. A true Gem for our culture. I love this Brotha
“It wasn’t a sneak attack, it was long game” 💯
@2:22:58 The way Trag was looking at the Dominican elf had me rollin 😂
This nigga said "elf!" 🤣😂💀
😂😂
Was mad awkward 😭😭😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao dominican elf
The way efn was like "say whatever" to Trag & Trag was like "say whatever? Get the fuck outta here" wasss fiiiireeeee
Yooo, tragedy's face when lil man pulled up is priceless!! 😅
When I was a youngster queens had all my favorite talent trag, onyx, g unit ,mobb, cormega, black sheep, nature, CNN, stack bundles, nas......we even go back to the old skool, LL, kool g rap, run dmc Roxanne, mc shan,
Queens Bridge legacy is ill they cemented their place in history 🔥
Queens definitely birthed the greatest Emcees ever.
@@korancebland no doubt
Same.. as a lifelong southern California resident.... I ALWAYS BUMPED QUEENS rappers. And would always be puttin homIEs up on QB. I felt a special connection to all of the rappers from there and the sound they had. They got one helluva track record as far as their legacy
Queens made the best music to come out of NYC faxxxxx!
That calm down track is a classic and trag bodied everyone on it. Love the back story to it.
I love how the God trag still remains on his square,with his knowledge of self.Shit is constant
Traj always used to be at union square virgin Mega store, stayed in the Cafe and always talked hiphop and had a good aura. Many blessings
Great interview💫🔥🌠🌠💥👌🏿❤ defo need a part 2! Tragedy Kadafi will never be forgotten 🌠🌠💯💯💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🤴🏿
This was one of the dopest episodes in a long while(and the mic geronimo)
Conway is shining different! Stunnting with that new big boy set!✨✨✨
“To be aware, is to be alive.”
2:23:09 This was the same face I had on as this played out and was LITERALLY the funniest moment on any Drink Champ episode and he wasnt even trying to be funny. Thanks Trag hahhahaha
Great to see Nore and Trad together and chopping it up.
Tragedy face when he sees pio bout to take a shot was priceless son 🤣😂🤣😂
Fkn hilarious 😅🤣😭
When NORE brought the little dominican dude to the table for a drink...the way tragedy was looking at him like who son is this? And why he at the table? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Word!🤣
The story about Flex saying that Wu Tang was trash was perfect timing. I still can’t get over how unimpressed Flex seemed during the Griselda freestyle. It seemed very disrespectful. Like Conway and Benny were going in and they received zero energy from Flex. They spoke about this on the Rap Rader: A Griselda New Year. Tragedy telling this story in front of Conway is essential. If Flex had that energy for Wu Tang then it’s no surprise now.
Beautiful Queen 💯
Makes perfect sense!
Yo he did the same shyt to kendrick wen he first rapped like he know how to write lyriks I said the same shyt sis its .. yo but remember wen nas said dnt let these dj s play you like u need them and they ask about flex he said he corny look at his voice ....look at his face😭😭😭🤣🤣fuck flex
@@sincerelydavillian5851 Yoooo! Yes! 🙌🏾😂👏🏾💯 I literally just watched the throwback clip of Nas talking Flex! 😩 timeless
@@coachkandaka u know yo rap shyt u make music provably
“Are we making noise for that”, hell yeah. If you can clap for coke you most certainly can clap it up for the positive.
Force my Hand w Cormega Classic
Big time.
WORDDDDD ! Dope cut from both artists. 🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jumpin off of snow cliffs without the skis I saw shit was real so I switched my steeze
Absolutely
TRAG CAN BE GHOSTFACE BROTHER 💯 !! THEY TALK AND LOOK JUST ALIKE 💯😂
They are cousin
They cousins 🤫
I peeped dat before I heard it out Trag mouf, they both slang doctors to the max
He didn't like to sleep with Jon Jon he peed da bed
Exactly. If you just heard the Audio you'd swear it was Ghost.
Yooooo. This is eye opening fr
Favorite episode!!!
Grand Groove still makes me think about my Gmom!!! Tragedy!! Only real ones will know about that soul touching song
Classic song
Well said
My sister bought me that for my 14th birthday in September 93. I still have it.
Is that Grand groove, Catch the beat?
DC Holler at me.
*This show is so legendary and I’m not just sayin this show but every drink champs show is legendary*
Griselda the best thing out right now imo. Tragedy is a certified legend. Salute to both!
I luv #DrinkChamps cuz it takes me a week to listen to the whole thing . Then a New Episode comes out !!
2:05:40 The moment Conway knew he should have respectfully declined the invitation.
Good call 😆
Conway straight business not for the foolishness
Facts
@@Rio-dmv Yeah, you can see that.
Trag getting thrown off by Pio taking a shot is top 5 drink champ moments lol
Time stamp
@@christopherayettey4390 2:23:00
Trag is a real one! Loved this interview.
One of the best Drink Champs ! Love it!
Conway is scanning his sector...staying neutral. May even be peepin that them sips is causing loose lips
I wanted to hear more from Conway hopefully they bring the whole griselda up there next
Hell yea just like the wutang episode, bring the bsf niggas up there too
Tragedy look like he can be ghost face brother haha
They cousins👀
They are cousins. They've both got that meaaan mug 😂
I agree
they talk alike
they cousins
Trag face when lil dude wanted the drink 😆😆😆😆 I was like 🧐 too lol
“I’m not gon call you a legend” Trag is sooooo 💯💯💯💯 I like that
