Right, but on the East Coast, I mean, like, shit, you hear that BPM slow the fuck down as soon as your plane lands.

It's just not the same sound.

And one thing that always kind of tripped me out about

Griselda is the way that people will revere them as real hip hop and then shit on a young boy or a poo shysty for being like somehow indicative of like, you know, hip hop being like permanently and irreversibly damaged.

The lyrical content, the themes, the topics being discussed are almost exactly the same.

Yes.

It's really the aesthetic choices that make old hip hop heads appreciate them.

They're rapping to Alchemist style beats and they're obviously putting words together in a, in a different way, arguably a much more artful way.

But I mean, the topics are essentially the same.

It's just like Griselda has the kind of fan base that they have because they're able to put the pieces of the puzzle together in a way that appeals to people that are a little bit outside of hip hop center.

To be fair, like, I would say something like Pusha T, yeah, he's rapping about doing drugs, but he's also rapping about selling drugs.

But then it's more like...

you know killing your ops i feel like you know benny might talk about shooting somebody but it's probably going to be in the context of like a drug deal gone bad he's not like aggressively murdering his opposition and his lyrics quite the same way and they're interjecting the the different references of the wrestlers and they've embraced wrestling culture they talk about stuff that is a little bit more funky but for the most part you know thematically it's pretty similar

Are they still united?

Yeah.

They didn't fall out?

I felt like at one point it kind of looked like they were going to.

Yeah, so they're family.

But is Griselda as a whole still a strong entity, or is there some separation there?

I felt like that seemed like it was happening at one point.
