Video animation by: Big Flowers Intro/Outro beat by: BLOODBLIXING The Hook (0:21). The Interview (2:27). When I first heard today's guest on the show on El-P's "Oh Hail No" off of Cancer 4 Cure… I was sold immediately. Even if it was just one feature, without me being aware of who this guy was and what projects he had under his belt, his flows, his bars, and his charisma were off the charts. The talent of Mr. Muthaf*****’ eXquire was undeniable. And luckily for me, he also had a catalog to back up this strong first impression by the time I tapped in around the year 2012, since eXquire had already dropped a fun and rugged mixtape in Lost in Translation, and then soon after would drop the terrifically thoughtful Kismet. From then on I was a fan for life. Now a decade later Brooklyn’s eXquire has released his most mature and reflective album yet, and is here today to discuss that and much, much more. eXquire illustrates how he presents himself in his music vs. how he is in his regular life (3:58). eXquire speaks on the influence of later 2000s era rappers on his musical style (7:51). eXquire details the influence that artists such as El-P and the Definitive Jux crew had on his artistic development (12:00). eXquire speaks on the differences between making music now (15:31). eXquire speaks on some lessons that he learnt throughout his career (17:23). eXquire illustrates the inspiration behind his latest album I Love Y.O.U Cus Y.O.U Ugly Vol. 1 (22:31). eXquire opens up about how his daughter and uncle has inspired his music (25:48). eXquire dives into the concept of Y.O.U, and why he is so proud of his latest album (28:23). eXquire illustrates the musical direction of I Love Y.O.U (32:59). eXquire speaks on some current active artists that inspire him (40:57). eXquire answers a RMPP Patron question from Dan-O on the most heinous s*** talker in hip-hop (45:29).
