I'm switching channels and I see a picture of Black Thought, ad I was like, finally someone's putting them on TV. And then I saw John Stewart's face and was like, "Awwwhh man!"<BR>Then he made a little joke about ?uestlove and cut to commercial. I was kind of pissed, but then I decided it was Comedy Central and they do what they have to do. You said he was making fun of everyone??? I guess that makes it a little better. I'm catching the rerun tomorrow to make sure I've got things straight. I'm going to analyze Stewart frame by frame if I must.<P>[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]<P>"Out of everybody I met, who told the truth?

Yo...John Stewart has been on my "lemme find you in a dark alley" list for a minute. Did y'all hear the diss he tossed at the "GREATEST DAY IN HIP HOP" photo shoot? Yo....son was crackin on how the original "GREAT DAY IN JAZZ" shoot was followed by a jam session and some media attention...but the "GREATEST DAY IN HIP HOP" was followed by 2 murders...a sexual assault...etc. You know...the typical middle-to-upper class Caucasian bullshyt.

i don't think it was jon stewart who make the joke on "the daily show" about "the great day in hip-hop." it was craig kilborn. unless jon stewart did it somewhere else.<P>i think stewart's really funny, though... and if you're a regular viewer of "the daily show," you'll know that's just their steez. he didn't say anything really bad. it's just when tariq said "knowmsayn?" stewart sat with a blank stare and said, " yes, i am fully aware of the ramifications of that which you have just stated," or something. then they cut to tariq saying, "we're taking this here to philly, knowmsayn?" and thent hey cut back to stewart, "as i said before, i am aware of the ramifications of that which you have just said." it was actually kinda funny... i mean, i would've laughed if it weren't the roots.<P>what I'M really pissed about is moby saying the roots won "in theory." i mean, who the fuck was HE rooting for? dre? busta? okay, i can dig that, but no need to rain on someone's long-awaited day in the sun like that. i mean, if it were DMX, would he have dissed him to his face like that? or does he feel safe to talk shit because the roots are "soft"?<BR>

Maaaaan, I love the shit outta Jon Stewart. Money used to be getting his guests drunk during his show, start drinking liquor during the interview! he's funny as shit too. The impression I got was he's a hip-hop head, because he used to have some pretty dope acts come on, if my memory serves (this was his old show).<P>Anywayyyyy, I didn't see the skit, but I know Jon is mad funny, so maybe y'all are taking it too seriously.<P>Peace,<P>Spirit<BR><a href="http://amphibians.iuma.com" target="_blank">http://amphibians.iuma.com<;/a><BR><a href="http://infiniteloop.iuma.com" target="_blank">http://infiniteloop.iuma.com<;/a><BR>DC hip-hop is on the rise...<P>"High grade when I create beats/if I don't get signed/I'ma be the most dope bum that ever walked the streets" - <BR>Aychell (HL, of Khemystery)<P>"If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it's probably a tool of the conspiracy" - unknown

11. "jon was always funny" In response to Reply # 10
i think he's taken the show to new heights. i mean, i thought craig was cool, with his self-deprecating smugness, but his CBS show has now shown him to be (without the daily show writers) what he always was: an empty vessel with pretty hair. <P>jon stewart, on the other hand, is an honest-to-god comedian and his improvisations are hilarious. <P>but that's just one man's opinion...
Craig is the fuckin man!!! ARG!!! Craig Kilborn is hip hop!!! I like it when Craig interviews the people and he kinda goes astray rather than read the stuff written for him. Jon Stewart is coo, but Kilborn is HIP HOP!! AHHHH! <P>P.S. Sorry to curse at ya AFKAP, but Kilborn ranks up there for me.

poked <BR>>fun at ?uest (makin fun of <BR>>?uest's shoutout of okayplayer.com) <P>well it's not like Mr. Stewart dissed the site, he just took a pice of Quest's acceptace speech and rolled with it...I'm sure whatever Questlove would've said up there, J. Stewart would've made the same joke being that he was more making fun of the afro-pick in the hair....but I'm realizing now that The Roots MUST be the shit, if people are startin to notice them now and make jokes, so clown on Mr. Stewart, you're only increasing record sales.... <img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/happy.gif"><BR>________________________________________<BR>"Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong" -Dennis Miller<P>***proud member of T.O.P.A.*** <P>KD215877 on AOL/Compuserve<P>Where will YOU be Memorial Day Weekend???<BR><a href="http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Stands/7507/reunion2.html" target="_blank">http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Stands/7507/reunion2.html<;/a>
