[@omarellis9825]

Never will you see the current generation of so called rappers on an intellectual platform.

How prophetic was chuck d. Was right about baltimore, south carolina, atlanta and st louis. 20 odd years later things havent changed :-(

[@lisanicklos5981]

Yes, he was talking reparations as far back as this show and he was correct then! But now in 2019, ADOS are coming for those reparations!

this is a dangerous combination right here

@@nackyding They're two of the most prolific rappers hailed for their politicized lyrics and as forerunners to lyrical hip hop

And these two is why gangsta rap was created! Chuck was waking a whole lot of black folks up!

this why these two will not be forgotten not just in the hip hop world but also for their contributions to uplift black folks. they didn't and still don't have all the answers but from day one these two and other brothers and sisters who were given a voice uses it.

[@sarahmcnulty5205]

I lived in LA and was shocked how segregated it is. The US is really backward in this .Against the odds the black community has produced the most advanced minds, breakthroughs´ in music etc I cant believe it is still an issue.The ghettos are getting bigger and the prisons too. Pay back is long over due ..Respect to Chuck D & KR-1

[@abrahamchavis]

At the time of this interview, the artists were so far ahead of their time. Too bad mass media would not let these guys have so much as one nationally televised interview nowadays.

[@shawnmulberry774]

I agree. Both are so far ahead that many people didn't get it. Even though they did not have broadcast back then, nowadays its all about KZbin, tik tok, instagram, twitter, facecrook. So now we get to see this which is awesome.

[@sammyb.randall6312]

Chuck D and Krs1 , that's what I'm talking about , we black people uniting together . I still listen to there music .

[@jonotownsend8876]

To be honest the media is still as corrupt. This interviewer mite as well be a modern day fox news presenter. Respect to Chuck D and KRS one.

[@BigSeanify]

Chuck D,KRS One made talk show host about the state of Black America after the LA riots in 92.

[@Backpackfiles]

I was 21. Somethings have changed, many things have not. But I am forEVER grateful to Chuck & Kris. #PE #BDP #BDPE

[@Mechadondada]

7 people who thumbs down Chuck and KRS, believe the HYPE.

[@daniel7899999]

Nowadays, the corporate media would never invite an intelligent rapper like Chuck D or KRS-One for an interview because they speak too much truth and it threatens them.

[@mercyhowls2688]

Interviewer is an embarrassment.

[@TheNaz1996]

Not many rappers even in their 40s today can carry themselves like these 2 gentleman.

[@lacjones7226]

Chuck d is so smart he's my biggest hero ever its like the man was before his time and he knows history and the future

[@Chewy5026]

Chuck D - Malcolm X Krs one - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Nah definitely not king

[@anielsardjoe595]

And it still going on....2015

[@jonathantownsend3044]

Happy to see Chuck D and KRS ONE being interviewed they have beautiful minds, even if I at least personally found the interviewer temperamental. But as we know, knowledge rules supreme over nearly everybody.

[@Dwight758]

Thank you..............................

[@fempageantry]

Krs-One is very intelligent, and educated, and if he follows someone's silly, ignorant or inappropriate train of thought he becomes deeper, and presents more intelligence that outdoes the interviewer as he said, blacks are paying insurance company's as it is a valid critique' that it can be looked at like that.

[@rookieslr]

Broadcast this across ALL networks across ALL channels in ALL countries......knowledge right here, grew up listening to BDP and PE....all day man.....all day!

[@michig911]

Very good response!!!!!!! I feel the same way. It is a plot to divide and CONTINUE to concur. A wise man understands that but the less informed will have no clue. And many in America who are not the elite class are clueless. Chuck D is Still #1.

[@BigSeanify]

That's right Chuck D,Krs One broke it down how Black people is treated unfairly in the United States.

[@geraldkfrazier8667]

2 legends I miss them being on top of the rap game.

[@ltod2]

Both of these rap legends in the golden age spoke their minds it's what scared White America.Especially during the 1992 LA riots when it was chaos in America during Rodney King beating by those racist White cops.I salute both of them Chuck D,Krs One

@kalai131 As a teenager, I grew up listening to PE and BDP (from their 1st LPs), and although English isn't my 1st language, they had huge influence on me.

[@alaza61]

Chuck D AND Krs One??? These some HEAVYWEIGHTS of consciousness in hip hop. They're telling the truth and Eric Barns can't handle it. Straight sucka! Power to the People.

[@slikdarelic]

fast forward to today, and we now see everything thats goin on.. thx to cameras everywhere

[@jdbankshot]

daaamn, some love from a legit ZN'er!??! shucks, my pale cheeks are blushin'! in all seriousness, i express my sincere gratitude, sir. run-dmc changed my life when i was 10yrs old & i haven't looked back since. soon after, got into the knowledge of teachers like chuck, krs, rakim, ice-t, g rap, kane, & a bit later, poor righteous teachers, brand nubian, x-clan, paris, etc...& i'm a canadian 'white boy' from the french speaking province! hip hop led me to coltrane, p-funk, sly, james, miles,etc..

[@jdbankshot]

thanx, man. sorry for delayed reply, i just moved, was net-less for a bit. i'll check out your stuff for sure. my 37yr old ass really misses this era....

[@jdbankshot]

daaaamn, well said, one love indeed. what a line-up for a concert, especially in 88! i saw ice-t live in montreal in 2007, he hadn't missed a beat, dope as fuck, great show! i met chuck in 2008 & burst into tears... he was soooo nice, 'oh, c'mon now, don't cry'.... he's used to it. such a nice person... man, i'm with you, ytube is such a powerful new (ish) tool, we can use it as our record label, tv station, political pulpit, whatever... keep in touch, & be safe!

[@DJShoji]

I believe this is about 1991 or 1992. Now back to 2011, notice how mentality within hip hop community (if it still exist) has changed. I don't agree with everything they said on the interview, but I really miss that many rappers had great interests on social matters. I don't see many rappers today rapping about social issues anymore.

Really like this interview and the interviewer. Nice to see Kris before he sold out. The interviewer was poised, dignified and respectful. He asked hard questions but listened as well. It's too bad his children bill o'reilly and hannity learned nothing from him.

[@GlobalTubeTruth]

I don't remember exactly where. I know it was from a public television station in the New York / New Jersey area. I don't really have any other details or information.

[@mrbasic86]

I think he was just trying to be a good interviewer and ask the questions most of white America were asking at that time, to give them a chance to try and explain their side. It was condescending that he was mentioning how well spoken they were, but I'm sure it was unintentional. Most people wouldn't think of a rapper as someone who is thoughtful and insightful, especially in 1992. I've seen the exact same interview towards white punk artists before.

[@theheatbox13]

strange to me that the same thing is going on with the same speeches same questions same answers.. we are trapped im this time bubble like really really

[@hip_hop_liberation_front]

There are a lot of intelligent rappers/MCs, today. It's just that they're not on the radio and television. Mainstream entertainment is dominated by trends. Listen to the song "Dumb It Down" by Lupe Fiasco. He talks about different reasons why various entities involved with rap/Hip-Hop want the music to be dumbed down.

[@enriquemendoza2985]

Wooow! Salute

[@chico260]

7:10 Interviewer puts his foot in his mouth! About 7:16 Puts other foot in his mouth. Class act to Chuck D in response about "professionalism." At the same time, underlining that equality should be present upon those that want to speak on the message of inequality.

Hi there, I am writing a paper about this segment for a linguistics class that explores racist discourse in media. Would you be able to tell me the air date of this program, the name of the program, or the name of the interviewer?

[@BronBlamo]

Jessica Dukes I'd be interested in a link to your paper. Sounds interesting, if your interested in sharing it.

[@thekerneljames]

He'd be able to speak on that and has spoken on that, many times, but this platform didnt have the time to go into that. Interestingly, since this is from '92 and the BDP album that year was Sex and Violence, you can listen to the song "Drug Dealer" and catch part of the commentary you're craving. I think it's fine to acknowledge the obstacles any group in any ghetto may have, but it's a bit ignorant to compare the experience of struggling first-generation Europeans to that of African Americans

[@thomaspgreen6302]

I am wondering if Nixon had not resigned and continued to help fund Floyd McKissick's original Soul City NC plan would have worked and flurished to other areas would things be different. I know (Rep Jesse Helmes cancelled the funding) but Nixon maybe because of McKissick's endorsement did fund the project.
