[@uproxx]

Full powerful conversation coming Monday. Had y'all ever heard this full story?

[@viralbuthow000]

Yes, with Combat Jack (RIP). John one of the smartest cats in the game which is why his arrest surprised so many.

Poly Sci is a dope album

[@machfive22]

Glad to hear John Forte's voice again. Poly Sci was an amazing album. His more acoustic follow-up was very interesting as well. Can't wait to hear this full interview.

Him and Talib were roommates in NYU together so I know this episode is gonna be dope.

[@Neckproblems78]

Good to see the brother John Forte dude is a incredible emcee and a very intelligent man can’t wait for the rest of the interview...

[@SaraBellum777]

Yes, Talib! I've been wondering about his story ever since it broke. Thank you!

[@eugenastewart140]

"It fermented a resolve to come home with something to show..." WOW! The power in that statement has me at a loss of words... just WOW!

[@kinglaz83]

Very powerful interview. Talib’s podcast is incredible.

[@feleciaclemons5074]

I loved him! I thought he was doing life, so glad he's out and seems to be doing fine..

[@drdread9896]

[@jaimemartinez2528]

I'm so excited for this specific episode. These two go way back and shout out to Kweli for giving love to the brother that help put him on. He's a real one for that

Always liked John’s flow dude hella dope ...sucks how life happens sometimes....happy to see u king 🙏🏾🔥🇯🇲

[@hadbl12]

DeeWunn he did it to himself!!!

[@marcinkiersnowski5235]

He is honest, self reflective, self realized.

[@iceygivenz3117]

I have watched this so many times and it is crushing. I met John in Toronto when I was trying to get on. I just got back from Atlanta and bought a Bowler Hat and wore it that night. John loved it and asked he could wear it while we were chilling in an after party after a concert he had in town. He had a cast on his foot cause he sprained it. He was so down to earth. I wish I would have kept in contact with this brother. He's a real one.

[@winstonellis1240]

I needed to hear this from John. Thank you !

[@haitianprodigy8600]

Ninety Nine(flash the message), a certified timeless banga of Poly Sci. The whole album is dope. Peace and Blessings John Forte.

[@ohhhgeebaz]

Arguably 1 The Most Underrated & Talented Lyricist Ever!!! Poly-Sci Was A Classic!!!

[@Freedom4ALL13]

This was an important interview. I knew Forte was up next. He wrecked Staying Alive with Wyclef. These rappers need to drive home the fact that crime is a risk. For 20 years rappers glorified crime and very few talk about the dark side, the jail time, families destroyed, and deaths. We need to take accountability for our own actions. We already know how the system is set up now there's no excuse.

[@enzigenes]

I just got home, about to take a shower, roll up and then watch this joint. John Forte was dope back in the days.

[@Infinite0396]

Forte has always been an intriguing guy to me-from that legendary restaurant cipher he had (with Canibus, Mos Def, DMX, etc), to Poly Sci, read his prison writing ✍️, joints like “Harmonize”-to getting released-“Running Up the Hill” is my favorite song of his, truly inspiring

[@veshaw.]

His verse on cowboys is so dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@sportswaywithdraydaypodcast]

He slaughtered them on that track

Poly Sci was a classic album, regardless of anyone/his opinion. To this day my cous’s favorite album of all time, and we grew up in the Wu, Nas, Pac, BIG, Jay, X, Jada era.

[@leftylion816]

This clip could not have come at a better time when it's now that because the fool in office is boldly trying to tip the scales of justice in the favor of one of his hench men after he feels the sentence recommendation received was "excessively high" for a nonviolent crime/infraction. Forte got 14yrs fed time for being a participant in a nonviolent crime and blew through all of his appeals. Its only when we are are somehow useful to their own benefit do they give a damn (the woman who's case was presented by Kim Kardashian). Real criminal justice reform including revisiting and restructuring sentencing guidelines has to be a top issue for all of us
