David Simon, creator of the best show ever on TV - The Wire, is currently at UC Berkeley for a Writer’s in Residency program. I was invited to attend a private event at Cal where a special group of 40-50 people got to hear him be interviewed by a police reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle. Seeing that they were both journalists, there was a good focus on Season 5 but David Simon also let us into his views on capitalism, the death of the newspaper, and Generation Kill. Hope you enjoy my video! KTL readers who are Wire fans - please post your fav interviews or Wire links in the comments. Enjoy!

Tracy Morgan has made it into my list of comedians I can stop quitting. He is up there with Dane Cook, Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx, Cedric, George Lopez, and a few others. Heck, my Guitar Hero band is named Blowdoff. Here is a pretty funny interview with HHDX on his throught on pets vs. babies and working with Cube. If you haven’t see Tracy Morgan on his recent SNL appearance, you need to watch it! Full interview after the jump…
XLR8R posted an insightful interview on Bub who discusses why they have such a strong following in the South and why he wants to be like Cube. Full interview after the jump…
Classic Drug References did a dope interview with Euro homeboy, Nicolay. Great words on how SF sucks compared to LA and what’s up next with his homies in Little Brother and Okayplayer. Full Interview after the jump…
Although, I was never a big fan of UGK beyond “Big Pimpin’” and “Int’l Player’s Anthem”, Bun B has definitely earned my respect and attention with his music and recent interviews. Rhaposdy interviewed him recently about syrup, pimp c, obama, and host of other things. And in case you didn’t know… those are his one of a kind, self-designed AF1s.
The homie Pete Rosenberg got The Clipse for a full interview. Why are people still people sleeping on that We Got for Cheap Vol III? Sand is the next guy to be looking out for. Plus, those new Juan Epsteins are hilarious! Check his site for an exclusive Clipse joint.
TIME recently did an article where Diddy answers 10 questions submitted by readers. I think he is honest in his answers but some the questions chosen were superficial. Cool to see who he gives props to. Shout out to the Rap Up for hitting us up with this one. They showed us love, so we are giving it back (pause). Full Interview after the jump…
I admit we are Stans for the homie, Wale. Good Interview at DX. Speaks on way too many topics: Pharrell, The Roots, Nike, GoGo Music. Read for yourself after the jump… Read the rest of this entry »
