Bomani Jones on Beef with Touré...?, Babe Ruth Being Black and Why Chuck D. is in His Top 5

[@YoungSensation32]

Bomani is a unique broadcaster he has the education background to articulate himself so that everyone can understand him and he doesn't shy away from being himself.

[@rjsprdctnx2991]

Sounds about yt

[@joyce2680]

Bomani is beyond a broadcaster. He's an orator with a magnificent and captivating voice! He is intelligent and genuine as well as educated with charisma. That can't be said of many in that industry.

[@Themayseffect]

Boiling this conversation down to his beef with you severely diminishes his unique and brilliant views on sports and business as a whole. This man is so underrated'! Thanks for having him on the show

[@rlewis3669]

Bomani Jones is so good on everything.

[@stonedog23]

Rakim is my greatest MC. He is the median point in Hip Hop. When you think of the genre, you have to think about what happened before Rakim and what happened after Rakim.

[@gumbofunk]

Bo say "u gotta let me finish these sentences, that's how these things work." Hard!! True!!

[@joyce2680]

Hilarious! A very cool and calm way to say, "Shut the hell up!" 🤣🤣

[@gumbofunk]

@joyce2680 yes!

[@joyce2680]

​@@gumbofunk When I read your comment I LMAO because I knew you and I were right there. 👁2👁

[@lindani07]

Great Conversation

[@KevinColeman751]

Bomani on his way to becoming THE GOAT.. keep it moving. Bo!!!

[@otisthetowndrunk]

I am so happy for Bo. I used to call in to his show on am radio in North Carolina 15 years ago.

[@vitpham9722]

We needed another hour of the music discussion!

[@chowoods]

Chuck was the truth. People sleep on Chuck's skill and his teaching ability when the Rhyme Animal destroyed the MIC

[@ckaiborbor]

I desperately need to hear Tourè and Bomani talk music more.

[@Robboogie2klite]

Really good conversation/interview! Toure is good - give this dude a show!

[@Thomas-qi9ix]

Shout out to ƁOTH these men for addressing the conflict or tension from the past and settling it.very mature way to handle it

[@RealM722]

17:40 incredible point by Bo. It's so freaking true. People act like being doubted is the worst thing you can do to somebody lmao

[@williamward2593]

You guys should get together REGULARLY. I thoroughly enjoyed you both!! 💪. PLEASE DO IT AGAIN SOON!!!!

[@TommyEurell]

Race baiter????

[@butch9973]

Weekly podcast with these 2 would be 🔥

[@t.breeze8659]

I needed to be in the studio to participate in this conversation. This was great. It was me and my friends all day.

[@wesdiego08]

These two need to do another show together focused on music. I love when Bomani gets in his music bag.

[@kbop]

Bo nailed the importance of universally digestible music. There is a higher level of appreciation to more 'complex' music if you are a creative or musician because you have a perspective of being an artist and the level of complex dedication goes into the work. But at the end of the day if I have to explain why a song is great to a regular person, what good is it if they can't really comprehend why it's great versus a 'simple' but well written song that anyone can enjoy and understand within the first couple notes. Which you can agrue could be as or more difficult than the latter

[@joyce2680]

You explain to relate and teach. The other person has the responsibility to receive and learn.

[@chrisrubio8212]

“Complexity is not intrinsically valuable. Simplicity is intrinsically valuable.” That is a BAR. Simplicity is the path to mastery.

[@leonlewis7041]

I really like this. Very entertaining. I can't believe I actually sat here and watched the whole thing.

[@rimreckable]

Yo, the music conversation was worth the price of admission by itself

[@JB-vb6dh]

I agree, Toure interrupted with his own thoughts way too much. He didn’t even let bomani name his top 5!

[@looshusleftfoot6020]

I could listen to these two diacuss music for hours. They need a music podcast together.

[@velinabrown2708]

Bomani is so smart. What a fun conversation. Toure you interrupted him too much friend. It was a bit frustrating at times. But a really enjoyable interview.

[@SpoonTunez]

Speaking on what Bomani was saying about the kicker and punter position. Those inner cities pop warner youth teams don’t even mention being a punter to those kids. The average child starts playing football around 5-6yrs old, and the only positions that are glorified to them are.. QB, RB, WR, CB etc…. That’s why I think we don’t have the many black punters or kickers.

[@terrytari1891]

They use to have other players kick the football. Now players specialize on the kicker position.

[@88bcauthen]

Absolutely enjoyed this conversation…ALL of it!!

[@musaokwonga508]

This conversation is so good.

[@tmacdetroit1]

I could have watch 2 hours of them talking about music at the end

[@BrownHomeMovies]

One of the best dialogues that I’ve heard in a very long time right here.

[@buttmuddbrooks]

I enjoy listening to Bomani and his thoughts on sports and culture.

[@bobbullethalf]

My generation, Chuck D, KRS-1 and Rakim! Can’t be beat!

[@treyparker3775]

Kudos to Bomani....... solid brother and does a great job of getting his point across.

[@mosescarolina9733]

Hell yes. Chuck D is 8nmy top 5!!! That base in his voice holds more memories and also many current events since his supergrouos & running round Africa with Zac delaRoche AND his Top 100 hits he busts out when he feeling it....and he sounds even better now. ChuckD going out with his boots on and thats so kickass 🎉Hail the 👑

[@darmanjones7432]

They need to start a music podcast together.

[@newtoncole588]

Bomani... YOU right about EVERYTHING spoken on Chuck D.

[@jdoggytho]

They really fanboy’d over Prince at the end 😂 love it

[@maryburrell3948]

That was a good interview.

[@DJaySplitSecond]

Rakim, Chuck D, KRS, Redman and LL are my top 5!!

[@johnfloridis62]

Tremendous conversation on so many subjects. Particularly music at the end. Outstanding.

[@dave210yt]

"jargon is gate keeping" - genius

[@pnojazz]

[@andrebelfon6738]

Bomani reminds me of Roland Martin and Dr Gregg Carr, they can pull some stuff up from way back.

[@chowoods]

Chuck D is in my top 5

[@leongalloway1602]

M.O.P Should be mention in the best rap duo conversation

[@daubourg]

Great interview. You both need to do a full segment only on music top 10

[@BeeZaleeO]

A yearly music review with these 2 would be amazing. 1 hour strictly for a year end review. Hour 2 use as a limited scope about and artist/album or genre would be fascinating.

[@andrebelfon6738]

I love Bomani Jones, thats my dude. Bomani dad was gangster, not celebrating valentines day🤣🤣🤣

[@user-gb2vk2ff8x]

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! New Sub! 🎯😎💪🏾

It was 7:45 we were all in line, to greet the teacher Ms. Kathleen; first was Kevin, then came Lucy, third in line was me. All of us were ordinary compared to Cynthia Rose; she always stood at the back of the line, with a smile beneath her nose. Prince Starfish and Coffee

good interview

[@concept8407]

De la soul number one? I highly respect that !!!!

[@CommonGround99205]

THe argument on Babe Ruth's greatness has a contemporary comparison and he's arguably the best player of this era, Shohei Ohtani.

[@TheHomeman]

My problem with Will Caine that he's purposely provocative and tries to get a rise out of the panel. I believe if they just ignore him the viewers will complain and he can't claim reverse racism.

[@derrickmartin9326]

Great interview, really wanted to hear the comparison between Sam Cooke and Rakim

[@skylerb97]

I think he explained this in a blog or his Evening Jones podcast in that Sam changed how people sang and Rakim changed how people rapped

[@mervcharles8365]

Not sure if it’s because I side with Bomani on all of his points when it comes to music or he’s just right but Toure missed on many of his points. Maybe all.

[@baselinetobaseline9821]

I always thought Babe was back

[@childish1311]

Here for Bomani…what’s up with this 1980s yellow border?!

[@briant.8553]

Bomani is right about Brown Sugar and Kendrick albums and he’s absolutely right about the complexity issue. But Bo you wrong, it’s Sign o the Times. But dead on about Little Red Corvette and he and I are totally in sync about If I was your Girlfriend.

[@Kickinthescience]

My favorite version of If I was Your Girlfriend is the live version he did on the Sign O’ the Times concert movie. I didn’t care for that voice change on the album. I get it though

[@briant.8553]

@@Kickinthescience i love the voice change. I think it’s something that adds tension to the song that makes it unsettling but yet so provocative. What a track!

[@poppaexo]

You are not alone Bomani…brown sugar over voodoo and GKMC over butterfly. And to further the hate, it was written over illmatic

[@jlv3x]

I love the Prince conversation, and after listing the Sign Of The Times tracks I have to play that album as soon as I get off work. I have to have a best 5 or 10 albums for Prince, I can never decide on just one!!!

Bomani Jones intellectualism is squandered in irrelevant scripted mindless predetermined sports gambling. Bomani Jones should stop casting pearls to gambling sports swines. Please study global affairs and become a much anticipated contemporary Brian Gumbel. Frederick Douglass ... Richard Wright ... Malcolm X

[@terrytari1891]

So Dave, you suspect the Jones has been taking money on the Gambling industry?

[@ChannelODH]

​@@terrytari1891 OP is being a bit extra. The Right Time has a gambling/daily fantasy sports sponsorship. thing that's going to be worth looking at: those contracts run 6 months at a time, which means it expired last week. Bo went on vacation, so let's see if that sponsorship is still there when he returns.

I agree wit Bo about Brown Sugar album & GKMC being better than the sophomore joints of both artist. D'Angelo(Brown Sugar) & Kendrick (GKMC) And ATCQ is a group. I disagree wit my dude Bo about B.I.G's 2 albums. Ima vote for LAD over Ready To Die.

Now here’s where ya lost me bomani 😂😂😂 brown sugar and voodoo are both great 1:24:29

Like Bomani’s Top 5, but…. we can’t forget Ice Cube, Scarface, Kendrick, Eminem. Duos: Outkast, EPMD, ATCQ, Dogg Pound. Toure has lost his damn mind about 2Pac!

Yeah, if Babe Ruth passed thru certain places in Opelousas (or anywhere in SW Louisiana for that matter) he'd be the darkest in the room.

[@ShroomGodBreadzilla]

Somebody tell Toure that when you interview Bomani you just stfu and listen. Nobody clicked on this for the need to hear Toure's lisp. And his random style of interview questions jumping around with no flow or cohesion was ONLY saved by Bo's gem dropping.

[@TA-ht4jo]

Bomani told him, "You gotta let me finish these sentences. That's how it works." Lol

Top 5 best or top 5 favorite? Those 2 lists are different for me by a mile. My thoughts on the best don't even crack my top 5. Its like who makes music I like more vs who I think spits fire like a gotdamn dragon 90% of the time regardless of concept or song structure.
