Nardwuar vs. R.A. The Rugged Man

[@fetamean]

This is the best interview. No one compares. RA just adds stories to the madness that Nardwuar throws at him. Most of these guys he's interviewing are just shocked that he knows all this shit, but RA is so genuine. He loves talking about it. I've watched this interview too many times to count. Every fucking time RA says, "Well, what happened was..." I just burst out in laughter. So fucking good.

[@thekitchenstablettablet2038]

A true g o a t

[@xxBONGHUNTER420xx]

Yes!🙏worded that way better than I could

[@bruce-le-smith]

yeah RA does not miss a beat, just leans in

[@byHexted]

I disagree i love nardwuar but I thought it was wack that he was bringing up like the lowest most embarrassing points of his career those weren’t obscure unknown about moments those were rumors spread around the industry like he said

[@scumbaggo]

i gotta buddy whos been in jail for about 8 years. good dude, just made some mistakes. he used to stard every story with "well, what had happened wassssss..", shit gets me everybtime too.

[@Inimical]

I feel like RA is still subconsciously trying to rap while he's talking.

MF Doom nice

[@stpierrecanada1]

He’s easily one of the 20 greatest rappers ever, he had so much more great material it’s insane how underrated this dude still is.

[@youngche8226]

RA is one of the most underrated emcees of all time. You hear stories from his youth, hear some of his bars and you’d think this dude is nuts. Then you see him for the person he really is. The father/man/son/family n friend/ all around person you realize how good of a dude he is really. RA is just a likable ass dude who makes dope ass music and kills it live!

[@zachmcniff]

I grew up in the same town he did, went to (one) of the same high schools as he did as well (over decade after him). This kid in my neighborhood’s dad; “Billy the Barber” was a childhood friend of RA’s, and put me on to him in 2001 when I was 12. Absolutely blew my mind. Then I saw a picture of him a few months later and realized I’d seen him before when riding my bike. Met him in passing the first time when I was like, 13. And then I ran into him at the gas station outside my neighborhood a few times every couple of years until I moved. Dude remembered my name the whole time and was so chill and willing to talk for a sec every single time. Absolute legend of a human

[@slickfiction6069]

I just saw ra the rugged man live and I can attest he kills and is still the dopest

[@arobles22610]

Milf tits

[@allybaapp1053]

***** Yeah cos Nard only found out that he had the interview a very short time in advance so had little space to prepare.. thus he wasn't as rehearsed as he should have been.

I never no ticed, but it's actually really interesting to watch how RA treats Nardwuar's hand like a mic stand. For real. You see him bouncing around and Nardwuar barely has to follow him with the mic because he's hovering around it. That's rap shit right there.
