    Things I learned from this video.
    Hoodie is Jewish
    Sway knows he's Jewish
    Sway is obsessed with Hoodie being Jewish.
    Sway probably wants to be Jewish.

    Sway I think you crossed the lines in this interview. I understand you were trying to warm him up since he wasn't comfortable being on radio but your questions did nothing to promote him as an artist. Talking about his girlfriend and religion for 90% of the interview did not benefit anyone sure hes white and jewish so what. If drake were on the air you wouldn't bring that up once. I just saw your interview with DJ Vlad and are doing the opposite of what you were saying there, as a gatekeeper you are supposed to bring him up instead of make the interview a joke. I really hope you bring him back and do a better interview next time.

    Im only 8 minutes in, but I hate that all they seem to be talking about is how Jewish Hoodie is. Hoodie's music is dope and he's super talented. He may not be a hardcore rapper, he may not be even rapping about stuff people agree with, but the kid is smart and talented and I think there is plenty of room in the industry for him. Ive been rocking with him for years, along i with millions of other people, and we've been waiting for opportunities like this for him to make it in. I just dont think the bulk of the conversation should be on him being white, or being jewish. They should have mention that once and then moved on to his music.

    Hoodie looked so uncomfortable. Bless him. But how can Sway say Drake's worked too hard for that comparison? Obviously Hoodie's worked ridiculously hard as well. You don't release 7 mixtapes, tours in between and talk to your fans on Twitter daily by not working your ass off.

    Hoodie Allen has great music, he loves his fans, and is incredibly smart and talented. I feel like none of that was touched on in this interview. Bummed that his true personality and skills didn't stand out in this. Still love him though and will support him forever!

    idk why but I feel like Sway was kind of condescending in the way he spoke to Hoodie
    i feel like he's worked too hard to have someone sorta tear him down like this

  • @LOVESWYZE
    @LOVESWYZE 10 років тому +4

    Okay final thought, at the end Sway asks Does anyone compare you to Drake? Hoodie said he'll take that comparison and Sway says that he doesn't want to do that to Drake. Like Hoodie is insignificant compared to Drake. Drake has always been rich, he was on DEGRASSI. Hoodie went to UPENN with a scholarship. Oh my goodness, Hoodie you are greater man, you're better than Drake. Again, no hate to Drake but Sway come on...

  • @LOVESWYZE
    @LOVESWYZE 10 років тому +3

    They say that they brought Macklemore on and he got famous. NO. He got famous from Thrift Shop and his political stance on gay marriage and how strongly he feels towards it. They also say oh Hoodie, Don't you want to work with some one great like Macklemore? THEY WERE BOTH UNDERGROUND JUST 6 MONTHES AGO, and Hoodie was bigger than Mack! He could've worked with him if he wanted to but he is just doing his own thing. No hate on Mack, good for him, but Hoodie's time is coming...

    The female interviewer had such an attitude when asking questions and is annoys me. How and why are you asking someone questions and you have an attitude ?
    And wow! White rappers don't like each other ?! That is shocking. I didn't know that and never even thought about it.
    Most Jewish people, just like Asians and Italians try to marry their own race and keep it that way. The older generation has promoted that and tried to keep it that way. But things have been and will continue to change that. But when HA said there hasn't been an opportunity, I don't understand that.
