Bushwick Bill was the most intelligent and gangstafied MC too ever heat the mic. He's your favorite rapper's influence. He raised generations of us fatherless, misguided boyz. Rest in power King Bill!
@@Bowie_knife_713 man i still feel bad.. His music literally raised me. I was suicidal when i heard "Ever So Clear" first time and there's nothing in this world that has given me more power to continue struggling towards better tomorrow than Bushwick Bill's music and Geto Boys. Fell to my knees when i heard he passed away... Rest In *PEACE BUSHWICH BILL THE LEGEND*
S K RIP I grew up off their music back in the 2000s as a kid that’s pretty much the kind of rap I was always hearing unless we had the radio on, but sometimes local radio would play them
Bill was so intelligent and charismatic as a man and person. His intellect was impeccable and way too comfortable in his own skin. I've always thought this from the gate. Was really hoping the butha would pull through. Bill we love you ALWAYS brutha. Love you!
Bushwick said in an interview that he thinks that since he smoked PCP before he died that is what kept his body preserved, since PCP is pretty much embalming fluid. pretty crazy
I got to spend about an hour with Bushwick about 8 years ago, I think. I met him at the Continental club in Austin. I went up to him at the bar and thanked him for his art and what he had contributed to the world. He said, "Let me buy you a beer." I said, "No thank you I don't drink." Him: "You smoke weed?" Me: "Yes sir, I do." He said "Come on. We gonna smoke some weed." First he has me follow him out front where I guess he had his buddy waiting for him in a truck. Bushwick tells him to "put on that shit I just recorded." They had just recorded the day before and he puts it on and it's him rapping over a live band and it was fucking incredible. And he's standing right in front of me and he's rapping along with himself and it struck me at that moment how incredibly fortunate I was at that moment. After a couple of songs I follow him back through the club where he just asks some random guy if he's got any weed and the guy is agreeable and we go out back where the guy produces some excellent cannabis. We smoke it and hang out and talk for a while. He wasn't wearing his glass eye or sunglasses so, you know, I'm getting to see right inside his eye socket the whole time. Anyway, it was a great conversation and just a wonderful experience to meet him and get to hang out with him. I'm so blessed to have had the opportunity. As I was walking away he said "you got my phone number?" I said no. He said, "I guess that's your problem, huh?" Fucking LEGEND.
@@OOTD_ My man, nardwaur even said bill is one of the only people with birth and death certificates after doing his own investigation that would mean nardwaur lying too 🤔
@@thepervertedmonk2353 yes dude, nardwuar's "LYING" by asking him about an obvious urban legend. you cant just come back to life without life support, if youre in the morgue, youre dead and nobody jesus'ing their way out of it. please people, dont be this dumb. love bushwick, though
Bushwick Bill was very intelligent! It never cease to amaze how some people will judge a book by the cover. I'm sure Bushwick Bill experienced it on a regular basis. Yet he arose above them all! Thanks for sharing! Godspeed 🙏
Nardwuar, this is amazing. What a great interview. The Geto Boys were a staple in my music catalog in the late 80s through the 90s. Bushwick stays droppin that knowledge.
I thought when he said, "If you check out the transition," @ 3:37 he was gonna point out that they went from wearin' Fila to wearin' Champion. LOLZ. R.I.P. Bushwick Bill!!! So glad I got to see him at El Corazon in Seattle on a Tuesday, 6-18-2013... Exactly 6yrs ago tomorrow.
Excellent interview. Never heard of this guy, but I'm going to check him out now. He seems really genuine and like he loves music. His "why should people care" bit was the best I've heard in a Nard interview.
Holy shit Bushwick Bill is really smart. That's the type of intelligence we need in the world. Doesn't have to act all high and mighty or overcomplicate things, and knows how to spread knowledge and positivity in a way that everyone can feel.
Wow! I am impressed. Great interview from both of you guys. My heart was torn to hear about Bills death. You captures some really great stuff, and you had some of the best questions for Bill. Good homework , and what an honor it would have been to chat with Bill. Rest in peace Bushwick Bill. A pioneer and legend of Rap!
So much more respectful a review than the one Howard Stern gave Bushwick years ago (that's on UA-cam too). Bushwick is humble, well spoken individual who's clearly been through a lot. Good work Nardwuar on keeping it real.
RIP Bushwick Bill. Such a nice guy. I met him outside of the Continental Club in Austin and smoked a cig with him. I was hammered and kept saying he was from 504 Boyz and he kept politely correcting me. I was annoying af but he was still real cool and smoked with me.
Oh man, I always enjoy your interviews but this was was just great! Bill has some great stories and I love his response to "Why should people care about Bushwick Bill?".
RIP Bushwick Bill! A legend
R.i.P Bushwick Bill ❤

Am I the only one who's mind was blown by the death certificate story?
#Lazarus
Horrifying
R.I.P dawg you always be a legend and may it never die thru your music
Wow, such a humble dude. That last part was kinda deep too. Respect.
RIP bushwick. a true hip hop philosopher and free spirit

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta, I mean one that you don't really know
i fucking love office space :P
So he died, woke up in the morgue, pronounced dead today, then pronounced again he was actually alive a few hours later. Legend
lohibbs you baddddd
So he died 3 times... Twice yesterday 😮 Like he said .you cant kill Von Bushwick MF... Im already dead 😂
Someone go check on him
H-Town Legend.
Stewart Rose shut up just shut up
Try NY
@dejl kuper I thought he was from Kingston
@@Kiyan3100 Yeah he grew up in Brooklyn, NY and Houston, TX, he is originally from Kingston, Jamaica because he was born over there ya'kno
He's very intelligent.
Excellent answer on why you should care about him!
Exactly! I was like, "fuck yeah man! great attitude!" when I heard that
Rest in peace bushwick! Please come back to life for a second time! We miss you!
he was dead for 3 hours, thats wild
Whoa, that was my 1st time hearing about his death certificate part. A lot of people out here in Houston didn't even know that...and they still don't.
Bushwick said in an interview that he thinks that since he smoked PCP before he died that is what kept his body preserved, since PCP is pretty much embalming fluid. pretty crazy
Tyrone Shoelaces, PCP is not embalming fluid, where did you hear that?.
He's on an episode of ViceLand's Party Legends where he explains it when he lost his eye
Matt 24 he died now...

#1 as far as hip hop education! Bushwick Bill. SALUTE to that Brotha
Bushwick one of the greatest hip hop historians to ever live. Dude really knows his shit off the top. It's a shame he never had a podcast.
Rest in Beats, Bushwick Bill 🙏🏽🔥🐐🌴
Awesome interview!!!!! R.i.p. to the Legend.
"My Ex Girls" and that whole Phantom album was the best!!!
I didn't know Bushwick Bill was from NY. That's tight. DJ Premier is from TX. Cool video
Bushwick is a neighborhood in brooklyn
Probably one of my favorite interview. Legit!

He's always reminded me of a slightly smaller version of Phife Dawg.
WILD THINGS bruh,I knew he reminded me of someone just couldn’t pick it out
Rip to the funky diabetic.
Bushwick Bill one of my all-time favourite rappers. Also a cool down to earth guy.
Great interview sir.
