Great stuff.

Unfold your arms bruddah! hahaha, but dope interview. Ill Doc on PBS! That's wassup!

~cyph

love it!!!! and i

Who's that lady? She's nice.

Contrived? Did somebody say Facebook?

Oh, and hopefully PBS is making a step in the right direction toward the concepts you mentioned. If they're going to SXSW to interview people, maybe they're already trying to incorporate a different audience into a larger platform...

Great interview. Very well-done, as always. You think beautifully on your feet, and hip-hop's most intelligent vlog voice represented as usual. Awesome.

(Ummmm...please retire that Sweater. You're really too handsome a guy to wear...that.)

Zadi is fine

Impressive interview; you seem as polished and relaxed as can be. (Seriously, did you rehearse the questions before filming? If not, kudos for excellent answers on the spot.)
I'm just going to sit her and love your cute grin for a while now.

Dude. she totally has a crush on you. call her.

While I still want to have a gang of your babies, we need to have a discussion about that sweater boo

Using social media as a means of combating racism is something I have talked about with my students, and it's a topic I find to be quite interesting. It would be cool to see and hear more of your opinions (along with the other panelists) on the topic, perhaps there's footage of the panel discussion?

And to echo the other posters, nice interview (you were definitely smooth, ha!).
Yo, PBS should totally have a segment where you give hip hop news and reviews. You could fill up fifteen minutes easy talking about all the craziness that went down just this week. There was 50 acting a donkey, the new doom record leaked (shit is ill too), and all the dope hip hop shows at SXSW. PBS get on that ahora!

PBS is a little "light" on hiphop. Ha!

Coolio, dope suggestions on the racism thing.

That's what's up to the IllDoc! I feel on what you were saying bout the voting patterns in the last election.

You ever heard of How to Hustle and Win: A Survival Guide for the Ghetto, Part One? Let me know.

I know the author is getting ready to release Part Two soon under Rap, Race and Revolution: Solutions for Our Struggle.

let me know what you think.

"more aware of our connections and how much we have in common" - ya, Jay. social media is ideal for sharing similarities. Unlike-minded people often find that there is a chance to find the 'like-mindedness' when dealing with a likable personality.

Let the intuitions flow.

Nicely put on that last question!

Well represented, sir.

Likes hip hop, is smart, cool and funny. I love you Mr. Smooth.

First off, I have to confess that I totally did not honor the Principle of Connectedness yesterday. I was standing right in front of you after the William Julius Wilson reading at B&N and flaked out on saying hello. So if you have any recollection of a girl with dreads tied back with a black scarf basically standing 5 inches away from you as everyone was clearing out, that was me and I love the site.

What you said regarding gradual/generational change reminded me of what Wilson said on shifting American focus from the cultural to the structural when considering causes for urban poverty. Just because the nation isn't there today doesn't mean they can't be tomorrow. I appreciate the hopeful perspectives of both of you, though I know I'm not cut out for the work of educating and debating that goes into redirecting public discourse.

Jay! You were amazing...but you were to talking hella loud! lol. Great job, nonetheless. :)

Jay, you're great. An educational hip-hop show on PBS, or NPR, would be great, It could present hip-hop as classical music is presented: Public Enemy and A Tribe Called Quest given a Beethoven and Bach treatment. Social context, history, technical innovations, major themes, etc.

Good Interview! :D

Good interview, brah. Hopefuly PBS might take your advice into consideration. :)

Great interview. And personally I like the sweater!

I'm digging this blog.

Zadi was digging on you, dun. Seal the deal.

Great as to expected, you allways do us proud. More inportantly Thun is right Zadi was feeling a brother something awful. I fully expect to see you escorting her to Black Betty on friday night or have her on the air on sat. Come on Old/True school Hip Hop needs something to smile about.Wbai and Pbs getting together that would be a great way to start the summer. Peace

PS the campaign for Darrell from the Bronx to be the next co-host on the Squeeze Radio show has now started. You have Been Warned!!

I actually came by to let you know that I just saw that they featured you on tv out here on KMTP...I wasn't sure if you were aware.

But I was happily surprised to see Zadi on your blog! Woot! I love Epic Fu, but they haven't been updating as often as they used to. I miss their frequent programming.

we miss you

I heard the segment about you and your vlog today on NPR. I was interested in checking out your vlog and I think your style and your messages are great. Your segments are very compelling and I was especially moved by your vlog about "Beating the Little Hater". Thank you for all of the hard work you put into making these segments great.

Also- as I read through these comments in response to your interview on PBS, I noticed that some of your fans/audience made comments about your good looks- I am just curious about how those comments effect you? You must be flattered?
