German guy asks Spliff Starr how it feels to be a legend, then follows by saying "Sometimes I think to myself that maybe some of the legends you spoke of would not be where he is without a man backing him up like you, because every leader needs a back up man to really protect him and guard him from the vipers and the fakes."

Pre "Trilla". The interviewer was actually on point, and Ross still made him look like a moron. Actual facts are no match for Rick Ross antics. ___________________________________ WE......GETTIN.....MONEY......YEP!!

42. "I'd never seen it cuz I stray from all things Rawse" In response to Reply # 35
But gotdamn, he's gotta be the worst interviewee ever, for that rant. To rate the sonning that Rawse gave dude though, is A++. Punishment for what he thought was a stupid question turns out to be a super stupid answer.

48. "Yea, I feel that it made more sense at the time" In response to Reply # 18
A LOT of Black folks, mainly older ones, just felt it was Elvis all over again...but he was the "hottest" thing out, so Arsenio had to have him on there. He wouldn't have gotten away with just asking him "so when's the next album?" but damn, it looks HORRIBLE seeing it now.
10. "The phone interview I did with Juliana Hatfield" In response to Reply # 0
That woman was such a Holdrum of the doldrums, it wasn't funny. Most of the answers were "um, yeah". "Oh, yes." "Yes." "No."
The interview started as if she had just gotten out of bed, and I understand that I may have very well been the last interview of a heavy promotional day, but damn that was terrible. I'm glad it didn't turn me away from doing interviews.
29. "Carson/Cavett = MIddle America appeal (at the time)" In response to Reply # 14
Whitebread, wholesome look, no coastal "edge," middle America vocal tone and delivery. The middle America approach was considered the greatest chance to maximize national appeal.
Now, why Nebraska and not two dudes from, say, Kansas, I can't say. But the marketing algorithms heavily favored the midwest at that time.
54. "RE: Well, I think one question was answered sincerely there." In response to Reply # 53
In regards to what "Hopelandic" is.
I actually like the idea of a song having a set of sort of "wordless" words that don't mean anything and it's more about the mood of the assembled pieces than it is any sort of words.
But yeah, otherwise the three and four word answers are hilariously inept.

75% of the interview is great and amazing but once Nas finds out the he's not getting everything Nardwuar showed him he got so pissed and ruined such a good interview. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL8PuPjYdyk Around the 7:25 mark is when things go downhill.
