Kool Keith "Nas picks the wackest beats"

[@resonate3987]

Kool Keith coming off like an elder statesmen in the culture and deservedly so. The man is a true legend in HipHop culture. Total respect.

[@jimmyinsolens1935]

the host is totally wack

[@josefino72]

This kid doesn’t understand and wants to romanticize the shit.

[@andrewbintang4591]

ikr he talks too much and constantly interrupts. you know it's bad when kool keith himself has to stop you from cutting him off lol let kool keith talk ffs! plus he didn't do his homework, didn't know dates, records, etc. didn't even mention ultramagnetic's first single make you shake/to give you love or the 1985 space groove track.

[@kansastintcompany]

I think it’s a great interview

[@Natturnerwitdaburner]

The worst. Ever.

[@randomanton]

Host is annoying as fuck

[@paulyphonic]

This generic Ebro look alike needs to just let Keith speak. Damn!

[@raczkaruffino1882]

this guy was 3000 times cooler than ebro

[@salgoud12]

This interviewer is very excited to ask some very no brainer questions..."where did you get big words from? Did you have a thesaurus back in the day?" Kool Keith, "we read." lol dead

[@elilauffer]

read? is that like reddit??

[@elijahnakumura4375]

Thats the new wave of over hyping the simplest shit then acting like someones being a big meanie for disagreeing

[@sooperheep]

seriously, this guys a dipshit

[@phwin]

Worst title ever. This is much more than anything about Nas. History of Hip Hop from one of the fathers. Major disrespect.

[@rondeisel]

Yup! Click bait in full effect!

[@YoHazzan81]

phwin i agree aften watching what he actually is saying i wouldnt have commented on it. This is hip hop Lesson 101

[@earthshaker5842]

Yeah it's dumb, probably made a bunch of sensitive ass Nas stans hate Kool Keith lmao.

[@AdamSmith-ln7fh]

Co sign

[@octagonseventynine1253]

Keith was sampled on Illmatic LoL he is a founding father before Nas’ balls dropped. The beats in most of Nas albums are wack

[@Thewphimisms]

He kept more respect for the art rather than going making money. He made money and that was enough for him. He stayed how he was because that’s all he ever knew. He’s one of few rap artists that never changed. That’s why he kept getting better.

[@frankwhite2635]

Too bad the interviewer was more concerned with hearing himself talk then actually letting Kieth finish his sentences, like damn dude we don't care about what your favorite song was in high school, we wanna hear Kool Kieth talk about his experiences being one of the most creative lyricists ever.

[@earthshaker5842]

Yeah some of these guys get a really big head and don't seem to realize they're interviewing fuckin royalty, not only in terms of hip-hop, but just in terms of lyrics at all. Kool Keith is one of those guys who will never get the appreciation he deserves while he's alive and probably not even while any of us reading this are alive, but he will go down in history. I have huge respect for this guy, huge! He has respect for his craft and that's why his craft demands respect.

[@keithcarter1424]

Kool Keith change the lyrcal game in Hip Hop along with Rakim

[@grumpee8432]

One of the dopest rhyme spitters of all time. Looking forward to that Dr. Octagon Moosebumps in April.

[@Tommybouy666]

Shutup

[@KAVMCCESQ]

It's quite ironic Keith actually talking real about stuff and the interviewer interrupts! Keith has always been out there and obviously there is a lot going on up there for him. It is refreshing to hear him talk normal for once. King of New York, Big Shot on the East Coast, Kool Keith legend

[@coriecolston75]

One of the greatest to ever touch a microphone.... living legend

[@WhizMitchell]

Keith made some good points about rappers takin' the hottest producer's "garbage" beats. Great interview!

[@matthewsierra314]

It was a pleasure to hear Keith speak on the history of hip hop.

[@alexreid1312]

Interviewer is doing the most. Why would you try to finish KKs sentences dude has no insight

[@owenjbrady]

next time let the legend Keith talk nobody cares what the host has to say lol

I appreciate the interviewer being hyped but fall back a lil and give Keith some room to speak

[@fab5frk]

Ultramagnetic M.C.'s & Kool Keith are legendary Abstract Hip-Hop Artist.

[@Assyrianmikey]

Kool Keith is a pioneer to Hip-Hop but more specifically to the expiremental, sci-fi and just straight weird Hip-Hop. And Keith is fuckin 56 too, he dont look like hes aged at all.

[@magnetik297]

Reminds me of Necro and death rap. If your ok with death and how to and very gorey lyrics. Aside from that his beats and rhymes are ridciulously good. One of my favorite MCs along with Kool Keith n MF DOOM

[@gavinknightjackson6307]

That kool Keith and lorange album was firee

[@noklarok]

host is a hack, Sex Style was not an AKA it was an album title

[@octagonseventynine1253]

It was titled as a kool keith album but the alias was Willy Biggs

[@koolkeith72]

Tough like a Ukulele

[@joemorris3617]

Kool Keith definitely opened up Rap directions

[@rbiznezz2]

Yeah I kinda wish he would let Keith talk

[@greedyassk3v695]

Keith literally the first rapper with an alter ego he also pretty much invented multisyllablic rhymes and internal rhyme schemes

[@magnetik297]

It was different to hear at first. You got used to hearing the rhyme at the end of every bar but Kool Keith would keep goin then rhyme it on the next one. Or not and make it sound like a run on sentence and rhyme a different scheme lol Once i just listened to listen instead of hear i was hooked. His beats are dope af too. One of the few that is consistently dope

"One last question and we're gonna wrap it up." (In Keith's head-"Thank god!") Interrupt much?

[@aben5803]

Very informative interview. However I thought it was wack that Noah had to put a shout out #me too to cover his ass at 19:20. It was as if he was apolgizing for liking a song from 20 years ago in order not to offend anyone. To me that was bull****. Holy shit, I hate political correctness.

Idk, he seems like a nice kid who is psyched out ofFhis mind to meet Keith. Feels like Keith is tired and pissy here. I can't blame the host.

[@deedaartyst]

Wow, true,true, I see what u mean

[@beeftheheat]

i Believe that B Smalls said Sex Style was his favourite album. i'm at 18 minutes; and don't agree with people putting down interviewer-he's a much younger guy who's certainly talking in a more excited, youthful fashion to a classic veteran-but he cuts off his Own questions many times to allow Mr. K to keep 'sharing his experiences'. and Keith never seems put off at all. he does indeed say 'hold on a second', or something once; but it's in an appropriate context/respectfully put and taken. Keith probably uses 98% of this piece's words. i was lucky enough to be a college station dj and have a young guy (Fred) with a laptop following me back in 2001 or so, play 'The Mack is Back'. Hooked. Keith has a way of doing a few things His Own Way and in a Superior Fashion. Like the mentioned and respected Busta Rhymes. and also much respect here for MF Doom-Another Top Level Artist. have to get to more QBert and other KK Collaborators.

[@Robert_The_Red]

Keith also had that whole Slim Shady aesthetic going on with Rhythm X, and that was in 1992/93. Walking around the street, wearing superhero capes and eating cereal.

Why the clickbait?

[@josefino72]

The groups Keith was “supposed” to be in would’ve been crap. Diddy and all these other pop rap cats would’ve ruined Keith. Keith is too hip for Hip Hop and way ahead of the pack. His stuff is avant-gard.

[@earthshaker5842]

I honestly disagree, Keith is too smart not to be able to do what he wants regardless. I could easily see him on a Diddy record just lowkey making fun of him and his lane of the industry the entire time. It would be fire and Diddy would put it through, clueless the whole time.

[@josefino72]

@@earthshaker5842 “Lowkey making fun of him?” You think Diddy is stupid enough to make fun of without knowing? Where’s the logic in doing that? If KK can do what he wants why would he even consider doing a record with Diddy? And don’t respond by saying money. You really don’t have any understanding of the Kool Keith concept. Like i said, zero logic to your premise.

[@earthshaker5842]

@@josefino72 I just think Keith is versatile and if he made a record with Diddy it wouldn't necessarily be bad at all. Keith would probably be making fun of lowkey gay rappers how he always does, which would be funny cause Diddy is lowkey gay. How do I not have any understanding of the "Kool Keith concept" is that different from understanding him as a rapper? Keith's made super experimental shit and he's made accessible shit that appeals to a much wider audience. You sound like you're just talking shit because you can't handle a polite disagreement.

[@darkmatter7668]

@olskool71 It was Written and God's Son both had better beats than Illmatic as albums. He also got fed gems later on like You're Da Man, Nas Is Like, One Mic, U Gotta Love It, etc. Keith has picked generic sounding sci fi beats for most of his career which has a lot to do with his level of exposure. To each his own but I don't think Keith really understands he's in the minority as far as beat selection goes.

How the hell are you a "huge" KK fan if the majority of his releases you don't like? Keith has a certain sound and if you think it's trash then you obviously never made a beat in your life.
