Lord Jamar (Full Interview)

No stranger to the Vlad couch, Lord Jamar sits down this week not only to talk about some of the hot-button topics in the media but to also discuss his role in HBO's latest miniseries "The Night Of" and his acting past.
The Brand Nubian rapper started right off questioning the validity of the media reporting that Prince's cause of death was from an opioid overdose. He and DJ Vlad then proceed to discuss what addicts are perceived to look like, Prince's ethnicity, and his flamboyant style.
In speaking about and categorizing masculinity, the conversation takes a turn into why "The Cosby Show" has been cancelled because of Bill's rape allegations. However, shows like "Seventh Heaven" and "Glee" are still on-air though their stars have been met with pedophilia and child porn charges, as Lord Jamar believes they solidify the gay agenda. There's also a bit of a history lesson on why men performed all the roles in Shakespearian plays.
Lord Jamar finishes out the conversation by declaring that men should take care of their children's mother if they set them up to never work -- citing 50 Cent and Derek Fisher as examples. He discloses his knowledge of Afrika Bambaataa's accusers and having seen them in the studio some 30 years ago. Lastly, he speaks about the coded language of the word "thugs" and the adverse effects of colorism that may have led Lil Kim and others to bleach their skin.
Listen to the full interview above.

We don't sound like those alligator hunting MFers on TV. Stereotypes I hate that shit. You know how we sound in Lafayette, New Orleans, Shreveport, or Baton Rouge. We don't sound like no damn crocodile hunters!!

[@Emeezyonthetrack]

1:38:09 Rare moment of seeing Jamar's whole head. Idk why I feel that's important to point out.

[@shellyb6926]

he should leave the hat off more often..he looks good without it.

[@onelovelife7226]

I have a small dog and she's the best dog I've ever had, so I take offense to that "Real dog" comment... Meaning, a big dog is a real dog...

[@ricktoldonjr.7351]

[@c.9345]

Reading these comments the vibes 5 years ago were real positive, it's all gone to shit lately

[@overstandinggod3410]

Niggas switching sides now, saying they didn't like Jamar then, but they feeling him now? Like he's a different person all of a sudden.

[@CafeHueyLong]

I think that just for me, as a white man I didn't like him at first because he seemed like this primitive thinking racist man. What I didn't realize at the time was that it's not so much that he is a racist but he just has no reservations about exposing the ugly truth about white history that none of us wanted to hear about. Jamar is that dude and has taught me so much over the past several years. I went from a hater to a fan that constantly checks for new content by him.

[@liamfoo09]

Gandolfini was born on the 18th unlucky fam.

[@hookup7702]

[@QUEENBEEHOODSTAR]

Drives me nutz!

[@1DProdigy]

Being a heavy conscious or subconscious self reflector is one of the best traits to have. Believe me.

[@danielladior6991]

+Izaya.Coles I disagree

[@danielladior6991]

+Izaya.Coles it's annoying and narcissistic no one gives a fuck what Vlad has done/is doing. he's the interviewer not the interviewee

[@danielladior6991]

+Izaya.Coles not sure why you're dropping credentials like anyone cares or trying to convince he that this is a good thing. I disagree that's my opinion

[@bobjames5462]

Man Picasso stole his ideas from West African art.

[@allforus4376]

VERY true. This rich white mf i work for told me tht

[@UNTOUCHABLE3099]

everyone in Europe steals everything all the time

[@Big-Papa-Smurf]

Yo, art IS an imitation game. Picasso was a genius in his own right, even if his method wasn't his own(which no one claims it was). Y'all stop spreadin' lies about that nigga. He could paint his ass off, period.

[@jkdortch2308]

RIGHT it obvious in his work

[@CHSTPZ]

+Medicine Man when you put down the people who created the art you ripped off, it's hard to get the respect of the decedents of those people. From an artists standpoint, Picasso was alright... but opinions are opinions.

[@orpheekonan3048]

Women were not allowed in business of entertainment during the Shakespearian era in Britain. It was considered obscene. Women according to the mores were supposed to be staying at home taking care of the household. The only entertainment women were allowed to be in was prostitution. In France it was different. There were women like Isabelle in Capitaine Fracasse written by Theophile Gautier.

[@ftnrbhmwk]

I've been said that monogamy theory for years ago.... Monogamy is a Western civilization tradition.....

[@kedakoop]

[@Kamoblue]

I can tell you now that Dick probably won't have the patience for Vlad.

[@kedakoop]

Sevyn J. Lol you right ...I can.see him looking at him like DO YOU HEAR ME VLAD

[@michelegugliotti5170]

Did Vlad really ask what an opiate is?! It’s only an epidemic right now in our country and him being a reporter media person how can he not know what and opiate is? Parts of the country are literally in an epidemic because of opiates
