One of the great and legendary comedic minds still alive, Paul Mooney, sits down for an interview with the Bay’s own and hip-hop historian, Davey D. Mooney breaks down how he and Richard Pryor discussed the first black president in a sketch 30 years ago. After the jump. Mooney goes in on Tiger Woods. Def wroth watching. Enjoy! Spotted at NR
Hilarity. Man, its so funny to see GFK genuinely just clowning. Made my day. Saw it first at eskay’s.
Jay-Z’s current DJ of choice, Neil Armstong, speaks about his early inspiration for DJing (an amazing shout out to Shortkut!) and speaks on his experience DJing with Jay-Z. Its cool to see Neil be such a modest and cool DJ, knowing the shows and accomplishments he’s done. Thanks to Snicka for the vid!
If you were reading twitter updates last night, you knew 3 things: 1) Everyone was celebrating then hating Diddy for getting a 1,000,000 followers 2) No one showed up to a great Jam Session with the Roots 3) because all the hip-hop nerds were at Drake’s S.O.B. show. Dudes were particularly surprised that some many girls were there – I guess, they only know the hype and haven’t heard the actual mixtapes. Anyways, I heard the performance was good but not great. But Rosenberg was able to steal a few minutes to interview the man of the hour. Then his hip-hop revenge came out when he spotted Kanye and Part 2 of the Sonning of Peter began. On a sidenote, I think $port said it best that Drake is Hip-Hop’s Obama right now. Everyone loves him, if you don’t – you’re a hater. He symbolizes a likable good attitude but still has a lot to prove. We’ll see.

Obama: Doper than you and I probably? If he wore a pair of Jordan’s to the game I would’ve given a confident “YES”. I never cared if Bush went to a baseball game and I doubt we would see him at an NBA game but Obama let it be known that President’s love beer too. Credit due to TSS for the swiped pics. Keep doin’ ya thing homies.
Chuck D offers a very insightful and kinda all over the place address to Obama’s new presidency. He has been asked about Obama a lot during the elections b/c no one else knew who to turn to for hip-hop’s “intelligent” political voice – at least in the media’s eyes. (Note: there are some very smart, articulate, political conscious MCs out there. I know. You can tell me yours in the comments.) Its thought provoking to say the least and you gotta give it up, he hasn’t softened up as he hits near 50. Good stuff, Chuck, you’re still a hero of mine. (via Fatlace and hiphop.com)
Guess this ran in an Australian newspaper yesterday. Funny shit. Thanks coolhunter.net for the find.

This should be bumping in everyone’s computer, iPod, and car today. You best believe its the first song I am playing tonight. My set just got rearranged. Man, today is a great day. Here is the audio – CDQ w/ no DJ.
This interview caused some bloodshed within the KTL camp. Here it is in all its glory. OBEY fans will have erections from replaying this all day.
