Grafh & Memphis Bleek On Roc-A-Fella Days, 50 Cent Beef, Busta Rhymes Fight & More | Drink Champs

This1 of my top5 fave DC 🐐 interviews🫡☺️😂vibes👌🏾💫👑🫶🏾

I remember, 2003, senior year of high school, me and some of the homies were coppin’ mix tapes nonstop online. This was after Napster got fully shut down, but still heavy in the days of DatPiff and burnin’ CDs. I found this mixtape man.. gun to my head I just can’t remember what it was. But it had Red Cafe, Grafh, and Saigon on it (maybe even Sicario – I prolly’ didn’t spell his name right, but he sounded like Jay-Z). That mixtape got me madd hype about those 3 rappers early eaaarly in their careers. Saigon didn’t do too, too much, then he magically appeared on Entourage some years later..? Red Cafe was tryna’ do that commercial NY shit, and I respected him chasin’ the bag.. but Grafh.. holy shit, Grafh. Bro, nobody spit like Grafh. Still nobody spit like Grafh. I swear to you, despite having a completely different delivery and cadence than Styles P, those are the only 2 rappers that regularly drop a delivery me and my boys dubbed “the throwback”. Spit a format that’s like A-A-BCBC-A, where the third line will have some kind of inner rhyme scheme, not rhyme with the line before it, but the 4th line circles back and rhymes with the 1st and 2nd line; it just feels like a fucking anvil crashing down cuz’ if you know that kind of flow/delivery, you can see it coming and it hits so fucking hard. We called it the throwback because, again, Line 1 is A, Line 2 is A, but line 3 is an inner rhyme schem, and then Line 4 throws back the rhyme to Line 1 & 2. Bro, Grafh got unparalleled wordplay. Champion of that shit. I’m not talkin’ speed, I’m not talkin’ madd big words, just playing with the syllables. Lots of love to Bleek for bein’ on this interview, but I straight up came for Grafh.
