No question man Copper Gone is an iconic, historically classic album! Beautiful record.
Seeing this for the first time 2019... Sage Francis is a beast on the mic! I have seen probably 60 hip hop shows, including KRS-One, Cannibus, Das Efx, Channel Live, Jay Z, Nas, OutKast, Pharcyde, Atmosphere, Wu-Tang, Kanye, Lupe Fiasco, Brother Ali, Swollen Members, Styles of Beyond, & so many more, but this dude right here, BEST SHOW YOU CAN EVER PAY MONEY TO GO SEE! I am not gonna lie, KRS was a close second, but Sage is a performer & knows exactly how to keep you jumpin! Hope you rap until you’re 80yrs old my dude... #REALHIPHOP!
Copper Gone is Eternally Epic
Saw sage play in Newcastle uk when copper gone was first released and met him and his wife and they were both lovely people ! Fan for life !!!
Great interview! Thanks. The true hip hop heads need this stuff
Met Sage in Madison best hip hop show I've been to hands down.
Justin Woods yes!
Love Sage Francis, he's the truth! A dope ass wordsmith!
Celina oH here... so called simple. I got into sage when I heard crack pipes. scary good man. I'd love to see you live. you an awesome person man. fans round the world... you knew that already.
I give sage props. Big ups homie. Day la soul represented.
Love sage francis his songs changed what i listened to as a kid in the 90s he was part of a different hip hop that i still listen to this day.
Huge Sage fan. We fixed your sound in Madison Sage remember???
Copper Gone is one of my all time favourite hip hop albums. And it has extremely strong competition even just within Sage's discography.
Only the badasses get better as they get older!
Awesome interview. I never knew he felt that way about recording shows but it's a super valid point. I like his "fuck it" insightful honesty. I like that he expresses his opinions on shit like this and on why shit like Spotify is bad for artists.
Fuck I love Sage Francis man
great interview. well done with all the right questions.
I was at that Rock the Bells for Sage and Eyedea & Abilities. And there was a huge fight while Dilated Peoples were on stage!
I was there
Believe that was d2d vs ocp
"integrity is number one"-****
Impeccable with his word...
Good questions. Good man
this is excellent.
"hey I paid for the show, I'm gonna record if I want."
lol
I bet that has to be the worst feeling.
Well done, solid interview.
awesome interview!!!
Looking Forward to see Sage & B.Dolan in Hamburg on 4th October....Keep the good sh*t up bro!
sage is awesome
that was gooood
Sage sees the problems within hip-hop/pop music. He knows that these problems aren't to blame for his underground status. He embraces his underground status. He wants anyone listening to know that there are strong artists who aren't being heard.
You're preaching to the motherfucking choir, Sage. Xaul Zan should run for office.
xaul zan is running for office. xaul zan is basically donald trump
+WLG1 no...
I loved copper gone. I respect your fortitude to stick to your unique and original style but I think a track of you and Eminem would be epic bro. He solidified himself as a lyricist and against the mumble rap bs that is going around, and he’s super popular, if you two could collaborate and make a record it would really put a steak in the heart of this bs hip hop
Ping pong is awesome! :)
respectah broccoli!
"the Li(f)e record was so left field" *points to the right*
CHURCH!
what
RIP eyedea
Up church takes hom out
why in the world would Sage agree to do an interview with a YT page that has 22 subscribers. I need to start taking action
(PS this is not my main YT page... this is just the one i use to be annoying)
Because he's a cool ass guy.
Atonio,
The final product says it all. This is his best looking, best sounding, and best edited interview footage on CZcams. Also, outside of the Nardwuar interview, it's the highest viewed. We don't decide to work with people based on the size of their following. If people approach us in a professional way, and their intent seems genuine, we do our best to work with them. So if that means you've been inspired to take action, so be it. Wishing you the best, man.
Antonio Daniele I read an article one time about how he doesn't like doing interviews unless the person doing the interview is a good music journalist. He probably saw another interview by this guy and thought it was well done. It was the same with his interview with nardwar. He's picky about who he gives interviews with so something about this guy resignated with him
Strange Famous oh fuck didn't see this post before I posted mine.
get with joe again sage, do an actual song with apathy sage, do a song with dj premier sage lol DO IT make me happy just me specifically,minemineminemememe. nah i think everyone would dig that shit? right? plz
Why no tribute to eyedea why no shout out nothing eyedea put him on the map eyedea way doper and no respect to project blowed aceyalone abstract rude the greatest he talks about public enemy lol get reall
Wow. I love Mikey (RIP) and I respect the hell out of Project Blowed, but you're just flat out...ignorant. Haha. Just...dumb. Good luck with that.
