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.

[@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.

[@rlewis3669]

Bomani Jones is so good on everything.

[@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

[@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.

[@chowoods]

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

[@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

[@ckaiborbor]

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

[@vitpham9722]

We needed another hour of the music discussion!

[@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

[@JB-vb6dh]

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

[@butch9973]

Weekly podcast with these 2 would be 🔥

[@williamward2593]

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

[@TommyEurell]

Race baiter????

[@wesdiego08]

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

[@chrisrubio8212]

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

[@Robboogie2klite]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@looshusleftfoot6020]

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

[@rimreckable]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@leonlewis7041]

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

[@musaokwonga508]

This conversation is so good.

[@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.

[@tmacdetroit1]

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

[@bobbullethalf]

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

[@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 👑

[@88bcauthen]

Absolutely enjoyed this conversation…ALL of it!!

[@jdoggytho]

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

[@darmanjones7432]

They need to start a music podcast together.

[@newtoncole588]

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

[@treyparker3775]

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

[@DJaySplitSecond]

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

[@chowoods]

Chuck D is in my top 5

[@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.

[@pnojazz]

Prince!❤

[@maryburrell3948]

That was a good interview.

[@CommonGround99205]

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

[@johnfloridis62]

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

[@leongalloway1602]

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

[@andrebelfon6738]

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

[@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.

[@concept8407]

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

[@childish1311]

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

[@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.

[@daubourg]

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

Mine is Chuck D, Rakim, LL, Kane and Luda

[@davidw9772]

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.

[@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!

[@uberhikari]

@1:24:07 I've always felt the exact same thing about Kendrick. He's an incredible rapper but I've never heard a Kendrick song that I liked.

[@OGSVN]

WHAT?!

[@TA-ht4jo]

Are you calling Kendrick the black Eminem? 😂

[@TheW11slim]

Toure wack. If Chuck D can’t be in the top 5 that signals a real problem with our culture.

[@andrewilliams4180]

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!!!

[@Pierrecousteau]

Not A word on Ronnie talk to Russia. But what a great convo on music!

[@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

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!

[@supreme504]

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.

@@fexcab Untitled is definitely my final answer. Not that Voodoo doesn’t have a ton of bangers. D’Angelo has no average or below average albums. Dude is batting 1.000. But Voodoo is at the bottom of the list of above average albums for me.

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.
