Every time Pandora plays anything from Brand Nubian, I skip to the next song. That airhead nigga has ruined my listening pleasures.I'm cool with it, Jamar deserves this.
But to be honest although we as hip hop heads have love for Brand Nubian the reality is they never really blew up or sold like that so it's not impossible that Jamar could end up being seen and known more for this than his rap career especially as an individual.
It's not impossible that Professor Dave's videos over a course of years will be seen and heard by more people than the albums and music Brand Nubian put out.
Brand Nubian was shit without Grand Puba

I honestly never even heard of the (Dave) guy prior to this thread, but man, when I saw the amount of subs Professor Dave had (3.5 million) compared to Lorenzo (175K), I knew this wasn't going to be a good look for the God.
Dave isn't as "famous" as Lorenzo but he has a bigger reach and although he isn't known in "our" circles, the man has quite the following and his exposing of Lorenzo's nonsense is only going to help his and Lorenzo's subscriber growth. It already has I believe.
All these platforms he's being invited on have significantly less subscribers/views than he does so while he is being introduced to more people (myself included) these platforms and Jamar are being introduced to far more people than he is who may not be aware of who they are.
LolzLord JamarLorenzo should thank Professor Dave for the sonning....more people know of Lorenzo for this flat earth beat down than they ever would have off his rap career and Vlad videos.
I'd much rather Jamar be publicly held accountable by his peers than for Professor Dave to keep intellectually dog walking him, but I'll take the latter if I can't get the former. I honestly feel that Jamar's brand of prideful ignorance does a lot more damage than people realize. It gives the impression that middle-aged rappers and rap fans not only tolerate stupidity through silent complicity, but champion it.
Anyone who judges others, whether fans or entertainers, by the actions of Jamar, is equally simple minded.

Very good points. I can't argue with any of that.I agree but the problem is none of his peers can hold him accountable since he would have just been able to double down on his ignorance and make videos going at them for views and even get paid to go on platforms to discuss it.
And the more the push back the better it would be for him.
Even if Neil Degrasse Tyson had done this he would have still been able to double down and benefit from it.
But this Professor Dave cat doing it and doing it so viciously negates all that.
This was a verbal version of Sticky Fingaz getting his ass whooped by that white boy on MTV.

Son is an 85er and getting his lessons in songs
Emphatically non cypher God
The brothers will never get through to him cause they’re all trying at the same time
He doesn’t over stand how the build works
That’s the thingDamn.
I think he got a good heart but is unaware how truly uninformed he is. And defensive.
But I think he truly WANTS to learn
But that is NOT the proper forum to build and those brothers I feel UNINTENTIONALLY came off as bullying and dismissive
A one on one conversation with PREPARED RESEARCHED QUESTIONS could have been so beneficial and fruitful.
I don't think either side had bad intentions
I really hope the nation uses this new spotlight to showcase all the positive to this new audience
