Same here

Very interesting long interview

Should have Rich involved earlier

Search still talks to damn much.

"In my opinion..."

But he is also a forest Gump of hip hop he REALLY was around and it may sound like lies but most of what he says is true.

Pete actually knows what he is talking about if he gets a chance to actually talk.

It was embarrassing. The entire 3 hours he didn't understand when to follow up, shut up or rally up. He constantly cut people off, get lost in his own questions, ask bad questions, not listen...



That's one thing I learned back in my 20s ... gotta pick your spots in conversation. Had a bad habit of rushing to get my thoughts in (and talking fast) ... learned to slow down and listen. If I cut people off these days, I just say "Sorry, go ahead ..."


Listening to podcasts ... some of the best interviewers are great at just asking the question & letting the guest talk. Then choosing parts of the reply to further the conversation ...

Low key best interviewers no one talks about?

Good ones.


One of my favorites is Sean Fennessey from The Ringer. He's a movie buff and co-hosts The Big Picture. I don't particularly care for his co-host Amanda, but he himself is a movie buff and knows his stuff.

Some of the best episodes from previous years is when he'd have a notable director on & let them go. Ask the question and let them give long responses.

I thought to myself - "He gets it ... people are listening for the key guest. He asks the question and gets out of the way."

Co sign Sean is very very good

His opinions on films can be... questionable at times but he is super knowledgeable.

Agreed. I respect his smarts. He sees a few hundred movies annually, and knows his stuff.

I got some good laughs when he'd tell the stories about latenight movie watching in his man cave in the garage, if I remember correctly. Co-host was like - "Like a serial killer", haha.

One of my brothers best friends growing up was named Yakub. Him and his brother were Polish-Japanese, and had 2 of the coolest first and last names I've ever heard of.

One of my dad's best friends from childhood to this day is Chinese-Canadian. Another great first name ... Brewster!

He went to school with my cuzzo

He’s just like rappaport

Faked it til he got where he was

But damn it he was the talented Mr. Ripley of hip hop then

That man got real ties to Whodini Public Enemy Rush Nas Chubb Rock MF Doom Ecko and Lyor and that is the highlights

So REAL TALK... whose FAULT is that?

Because he aint the FIRST or ONLY one

We gotta take SOME responsibility at some point.

I don't have the time energy or typing skills to type out all the white music executives lawyers and managers we let in

Then add all the white STAFF? Engineers? Now talk actual artists?

we can't say they were ALL bad.

and I guarantee for every white boy I could have named?

there will be at LEAST 5 hip hop legends that will die defending him

while simultaneously sh*tting on 10 other Black music executives.

WE as a culture have so much internal house cleaning to do before we even address guys like Search because at LEAST publicly?

He says the right things about the history legacy and culture

you GOTTA give him THAT.
