He’s not. Just not asking question from a place of wanting to be friends. There’s only so much honesty you can have in an interview between friends. Because untimely you know what your friends do or don’t want to talk about do or don’t want out in the public. He’s asking questions from a place of not caring how the interviewee feels about him

[@kimosorioTV]

Check your facts. the case went to trial in federal court. It was not thrown out. Only 3 to 6 percent of all harassment cases filed actually go to trial. Losing on this claim only means the entire jury didn’t agree. And by the way, there were only 2 women on a jury of 9. You are so easily persuaded.

[@bowling4clarity817]

Shawn Prez is a strong interviewer . I know a couple brothers and two sistas who were at the Source at the time, neither woman ever says they were sexually harassed . Although, they all say the work environment became worse and worse in the early 2000s. I think the leadership at the Source became compromised and a lot of staff felt like it became unprofessional and vindictive place to work . Especially when they were seeing the rise of XXL and the whole Shady/Interscope beef . I think in the pursuit of expansion they fell asleep at the wheel , thus the mass exodus of talented contributors with bad tastes in their mouth.

[@Jeice5]

What the women in the Black community go through with being called out their name is the same thing that Puerto Rico was going through too in Reggeaton. The whole island stood up against the culture and hit their pockets hard body. Now if you listen to Reggeaton from the 90s to the Reggeaton from today they do not disrespect us, women. Well let me be clear, they do it still but very covertly with slang the elders don't understand or with double meaning so it's not so in your face. The Black community has to stand up against it and until we ( I say we because even though I'm P.R but I'm a brown woman and understand I'm afrolatina ) don't hit their pockets, airplay, concerts, and more it will keep on happening. Now that I'm older and a mother I understand the damage it does to the Black and Brown community. In my 20s I loved it and didn't understand why I was being called a bitch, a hoe, a slut, and getting mistreated or thought it was how it should be. Now my daughter is 20 and she barely listens to Rap because I didn't play it around her, my 16-year-old son listens to it but I explain the bullshit to him. I was very hood and I rather listen to male rap music than any other genre especially growing up with 8 brothers and all-male cousins it's still my Achilles heels but now I can barely listen to it or rather the clean version.

[@Synchronite]

This is facts What happened to Hip Hop in the 90s was shocking to anyone who remembers the 80s true Golden age When the music had to have a message Remember Self Destruction? Brand Nubian Slow Down Tribe Called Quest Kid n Play? Special Ed? The music was fun u could dance to or learn from When I first heard NWA I was like 🤔? …👎 And then NY artist start following suit to keep up smh I agree w you sis My kids don’t listen to the music I was raised on past 1992

[@Underdog271]

Love your comment 👍🏾

[@sirjer73]

@@Synchronite I agree with your overall premise. But I to came from that era I'm 48 years old. But the beauty of that era was how diverse it was and originality. You couldn't deny the skill set of NWA from Cube, Ren, and DOC'S songwriting, Dre and Yella's production, and Eazy E charisma. If you wanted real raunchy stuff you had Too Short and 2Live crew but at times groups like this would still touch on social issues. We had the native tongues related groups. We also had political and 5 percent era heavy hitters. Not to mention all the wordsmiths who respected the artistic aspects of the culture. I'm grateful to come of age during these glory years!!!

[@Synchronite]

@@sirjer73 I respect it But I was 7 when I first heard NWA Still watching Sesame Street lol I grew to accept their music But my first inclination was to shun it naturally I think NWA and the like was being used to intentionally destroy what hip hop was becoming which was a force of social change to counteract the more destructive elements in our society Respectfully the age difference in our pov may be a factor cause if you were in high school u may have been looking for that sort of explicit content at that time I was MORE than happy with Kid n Play, Rob Base and the occasional gun talk from guys like a KRS etc The gratuitous nature of an NWA record was always unnecessary imo and tipped the scales when we’re talking about real cultural value Years later I can tell you Ice cube and Dre accomplishments aside I still think NWA was wack 🤷🏾‍♂️ just my opinion as a life long hip hop listener
