Dave East talks Islam, Trump, Don't Shoot, Found A Way, Not Glorifying Street Life, Playing with KD

Hard Knock Tv's Nick Huff Barili sits down with Dave East for in-depth interview at Truth Studios. In part 2, Dave talks about converting to Islam while in jail and Trumps ignorance towards the Muslim community. Dave also talks about playing aau with Kevin Durant but eventually giving up his dreams of hooping. As the interview continues Dave gives us insight into a song from his last mixtape Kairi Chanel called "Don't Shoot" which deals with police misconduct and being afraid of being shot unjustly. Its important for Dave East not glorifying street life and because he wants better for his fans. Dave explains that people who really have gone through it don't want other people to go through that pain. A song that exemplifies that is "Found A Away" which is his favorite song from Dave's new EP Paranoid. More to come! Stay tuned for part 3. Nick and Dave talked for almost an hour. Make sure to subscribe to / hardknocktv to be the first to be notified for the next part of Dave and Nick's conversation. Dave's Def Jam debut EP Paranoia is available now.

If Islam made you a better man I can respect that, but, to be an Israelite, is in your bloodline, your DNA. We were the children of Jacob before all these different teachings came about. But, it doesn’t mean I can’t relate to my brothers on different levels. I love my brothers and sisters. Truth is truth though. Peace and love.

MrSkellington94 Not to kill your opinion but I don’t think he generalize these things he just really is saying he is who he he, and does what he does and thinks how he thinks. Most religions and subjects need to be just what they are nothing more. The extra is the problem. Just sayin. Life really is as simple as being a good person and minding your business. And a little more open minded love wouldn’t help. That’s why everybody need to just roll a joint damn

Cordell Farmer but Muhammad is a false prophet

[@josephcoste9807]

Cordell Farmer and muhhamed said he is in the Bible he lied he's nowhere to be found the he also said in the Quran he also said in the Quran the Bible is from god and bible contradicts the Quran he is false prophet I'll give you the verses so you can see I'm not lying Surah Al-E-Imran 3: “He has revealed to you the Book with the truth [i.e. the Qur’an], confirming what has been before it, and has sent down the Torah and the Injil.”Surah Al-Araf 157: “Those who follow the Messenger, the Ummiyy (unlettered) prophet whom they find written with them in the Torah and the Injil and who bids the what is fair and forbids what is unfair, and makes lawful for the good things, and makes unlawful for the impure things, and relieves them of their burden, and of the shackles that were upon them. So, those who believe in him and support him, and help him and follow the light sent down with him, those are the ones who are successful.” I just disproved islam your welcome I saved your soul

[@josephcoste9807]

Cordell Farmer check the Quran yourself

[@josephcoste9807]

Cordell Farmer and Quran promotes isis and al queda I'll give you the verses Quran 9:5 so when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them.” Quran:73 “O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination. Quran 9:29“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” He hates Christians But he said he is in the Bible and that is the book of god but then he's commanded to kill us false religion right there he contradicts himself
