I really wish EFN would take the lead on interviewing the guests. Nore just isn’t very articulate and he sometimes focuses on himself and he even talks in circles. Just makes it hard sometimes, to watch these interviews.

[@felenti4956]

thats a nice way of saying it

[@creatavision1479]

Bingo 🎯Somebody had to say it

[@overdominant1]

Problem is EFN isn’t that good at interviewing either

[@Rob-l1s]

Your being nice... your being very nice... he's not very bright..he doesn't know the meaning of simple words and he always interrupts his guest he's a terrible interview.. he's awful

[@rockhills]

I watch/listen these for their personalities not their interview skills. I mean otherwise the shit would be another amongst the 89458 podcasts out there. But if 3rd or whoever appeared on Toure’s or Questlove’s podcasts I’d probably listen cause they each have different approaches to their interviews.

Search could dance though. Think the vids didn't give him justice. But Hammer?.... Mind you, Bboying came from nyc. But True boogaloo came from Oakland 1967. Hammer grew up with the original boogaloos. Shout out to The Black resurgents/Mechanical Devices....But Search was a dope ass dancer n may have given Hammer a run for his $$.

Let Pete talk.

[@chuckwestworld]

I understand exactly why you said this now. Pete was giving deep intel that Tupac would become his character in the movie Juice. Dude was a true cosplayer. He went to JUILLIARD. Pete definitely should've been given more time to cook.

It still would be dope and it makes sense. I can't see either group going against anyone else.

@ EPMD is one of the greatest duos in Hip-Hop history. 3rd Bass isn’t even close IMO. I can see 3rd Bass vs. House of Pain maybe? EPMD is pretty much in a class of their own. Not sure who I would put them up against.

Professor Griff was in charge of the S1W’s. 3rd Bass dissed Griff at the very beginning of the Gas Face video by showing people doing bad drilling, & saying “Get a late pass” which was Griff’s line on PE’s Nation of Millions. This was supposedly filmed outside of the Autobahn Ballroom where Malcom X was assassinated. They had a physical fight at Def Jam because griff spoke out about Jewish execs in the entertainment business, & Serch is Jewish. Griff walked into on a meeting about him, & all hell broke loose.

[@DJGG8205]

I bet Serch dropped him on his ass because Serch is a big guy and Griff gotta be about 5 foot 6?

[@trevorgotch4607]

All hell did break loose at Rush Management that day and objects went flying, but Griff NEVER housed Search as he claims. Griff is old and bitter and still harbors resentment for being a big mouth and getting PE involved in a lot of unnecessary drama with NY Jews.

All hell did break loose at Rush Management that day and objects went flying, but Griff NEVER housed Search as he claims. Griff is old and bitter, and still harbors resentment for being a big mouth and getting PE involved in a lot of unnecessary drama with NY Jews and the media at that time. His solo album went 127 on the U.S. Billboard 200, and other than the jam “Pawns in the Games” was wholly forgettable (sorry, it was).

But at the same time Flavor Flav was in the video (but Griff and Flav also had their disagreements).

They dissed the "vultures", giving them 'the Gas Face'. 3rd Bass was the down-ass white-boys.
