like when after after cussing first the interview with flower Boy,

(00:22):
if it was before because it first guys, yes, yeah,
probably most of your think I go stay culture, but
I will never turn my back on the culture, to
be honest, I just said to like step back from
like everything else, cause, like, as I said, I don't
want to make this like a what's this apology? But

(00:46):
I had to step back because life was happening. I
was doing a lot of things at the same time,
you know, because it was schools, work, and yeah, it
was a lot, so I had to like set my
priority straight. Shai, I haven't dropped an announcement. Yeah, psa,

(01:08):
probably to lo okay, step back from your magazine, from
the podcast. I'm not sure for how long, hopefully won't
be ever. But yeah, now we're back, you know. And
I wanted to also drop and make ze back in July,
but like because of like pressure and like I almost

(01:29):
dropped it for the sake of the drop of dropping.
But like as in I was like, you know what,
let me just take my time, find myself again. And
and now we're here, we're back season two. Only drop
one episode. I think I'll make this episode two, you know,
but trust me, the time away it was it was society,

(01:52):
you know, because like been coming up with fresh content ideas,
been meeting the right people, connecting, learning the culture, you know,
learning new things at the same time, like, oh damn,
now I can do this, I can do that. Like
I said, Fitz, I needed to break because now now

(02:14):
we beg better, bigger, hungrier than ever. Because so BAKS
isn't just a podcast. It's not just to makeazine. It's
not just the YouTube Channa, but the culture as all
the whole movement. You know. It represents the streets, the

(02:34):
culture represents hip hop as a whole. It's part of
hip hop. It is hip hop. I know. So instead
of dwelling in the past, delicious move forward. Would see
in the next concern almost that that's almost it's almost over,
you know, and I have to drop at least after

(02:57):

he's one it's ten. So season two also supposed to

make it possible. Man, hip hop say hip hop? Yeah, sugar,
it's apparently, I mean, are some empty beefing, but it

(03:23):
is made clear it doesn't want to be if it's empty,
you know, because empty put them on, you know, it's
the reason is this bake? But man, it's fun. It's fun,
like hip hop is supposed to be about that, not
beef as a whole. But yeah, it is hip hop.
