Sway and his crew always does the best celebrity interviews...
The beauty of Satellite Radio...no censorship! lol
+Alex Duke you must have blue eyes

Sway & old Howard Stern
This is such a good interview!!!! I always thought Cuba, to me.... was always doing a lot in interviews for "entertainment purposes" so to see him really go into depth about this OJ character and how it affected him was literally very profound. I always say he's among the greats that they never give his due so salute to him.
Cuba nailed the essence of OJ driven by the most important impediment that afflicts many superstars. Skipping the stage in life that involves emotional maturity, empathetic development and social awareness. OJ was childlike and Cuba brings out that element that over the years people have failed to see. Children tend to be pampered, indulged, tolerated and given anything they want without having to earn it, it's just as Cuba surmised because of OJ's great talent and charisma he never grew out of that child like state of mind thanks to his entourage.
So true!
Cuba Gooding Jr is one of the greatest actors of all time!!!!!!!!
He was acting like radio in the beginning of this video....
+MBTHR33 Yes he was.
He need some tea for real
+nicholas nazario and some sleep
hahahaha
Man they said that he got so into that OJ part his voice been jacked since then.
He was yelling a lot in just the first episode of American Crime Story alone, lol I'm pretty sure that's why his voice is like that
some honey and lemon would help too
wow! Cuba made a really good point about the athlete not being able to form those social skills. it makes a lot of sense!
Hes still a legend for having a movie with Beyoncé as his shawty
What movies is that? Isn't mos def in it too?
+Charlie Wingate Fighting Temptations fam
She was his shawty for like what? The last 30 minutes of the movie? Lol. She stayed rejecting him throughout most of it, then she suddenly liked him. Females something else lmao.
what a strong, intelligent black man. Cuba was great in the series
Cuba may battle his demons, but he is a dynamic actor! He has depth and experience that most actors these days can only hope to acquire. BRAVO!!! CGJr.
He saw that bottle of henny and smelled it and was like what the fuck goes on here?? hahaha
+Albert Einstein he's battling alcoholism, I can relate to that demon. That's why his wife had to leave him.
+triple double homicide forreal?
I was dying when he did that!
when he played the boxer in Gladiator !!!! that movie is epic
Cuba Gooding Jr. is such a good dude and sooo fine! We ran into him in Malibu and my nephew who wants to be an actor was sooo ready to interview him. Cuba was soo gracious and spoke with him and was soo beyond cool. We got a pic and he was beyond warm and kind.
If there is ever an Earth Wind and Fire biopic, Cuba should play Maurice White ! I never realized he looked like him
And if there's ever a biopic on the group the Main Ingredient, he could play his dad Cuba Gooding Sr.
One of the greatest actors of all-time
Cuban Gooding Jr such dope actor one my fav, he dnt get the acclaim that he should get..
Cuban Gooding 😂😂
+Jose Lamar how much more acclaim does he need?? He got an Oscar among other awards, dozens of movie credits and a top rating tv show. I think dude is doing ok and knows it!
Great explanations of his acting process. Regardless of his personal issues that the media alludes to now and then, this man is a phenomenal actor. He has an undeniable gift.
AMAZING ACTOR SO HAPPY TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCE IN THIS ROLE AND JUST HOW HONEST AND HUMBLE HE IS GOD BLESS YOU
Shoutouts to that sweatpatch at 10:28
"Wtf is wrong you you're slamming my door like some kinda grill on the football field"😂😂
Dam n**** wats wrong wit u?
I lied to Pops today
This brotha is a life long member of the No edge up gang , other notable members , Denzel, Terrence Howard , Tim Duncan
You forgot to ask him how many packs of cigarettes does he smoke a day???
Sway could probably pull a broom, an ironing board, and a kettle out of that hat
+Chaz Dumas whomp whomp
Yeah it's a lot going on under there
I just saw the show last night. He is doing an awesome job! He's always been one of my favorite actors growing up.
I wanna meet Cuba Gooding Jr that's my boy...
This platform is tops! I love the way you guys interview guests with respect and you allow them to speak without a "narrative". Keep up the great work! Peace!!
Agreed! Very smart... leave his personal opinion out of it. If I heard how he feels now after playing the role, it would def effect how I watched the series. At first I was thrown off by him playing OJ because he didn't look like him but the persona is def being portrayed decently. Can't wait to see the rest.
You guys always have amazing guests. Keep up the great work!
LMAO @ 9:20 when he grabs the Henny bottle! that would have been perfect if he really took a drink of it. he's an actor by nature. his story really lead to a "cue the henny bottle" moment lol. but that's super awkward that his life was similar to Oj's in that moment. . . Just don't murder your wife Cuba!!
Great interview
14:14 - 14:58
Some of the realest about sports and the concept of such psychological behaviour.
Cube is one of my favorite actor
I think Cuba''s answer that he didn't want to say what he thinks about O.J.'s guilt is a good one and not a cop-out. If you know what he thinks now, it will affect how you see his performance.
bass reemer
Yeah, I get it. I got it at the time. But the question was about what he thinks *now*, and I thought it was a good answer for him as an actor playing this guy.
The first time that I saw Cuba good Jr. was in Coming to America. He was the dude in the barber's chair.
this the RADIO FOOTBALL LOVING DUDE
Cuba is a chill ass dude. what's up with the hate on him, though?
he billed a couple of females back in the day and its coming back
I can't imagine playing OJ. Acting is personally not my thing, but having stumbled upon a role once that a small-time director wanted me to perform that involved choking a woman to death really messed with my head. Embodying a character pulls a number on you. So I get it. There's a good reason why top-tier actors get lost.... Cheers to Cuba Gooding Jr for keeping it together. Love this man's work.
Cuba those similarities were for real that you experienced. Check out the book "Sincronicity Key" by David Wilcock.
(that also was Cuba getting faded in the barber chair in the movie "Coming to America".)
I know Cuba from Malibu clubs. One night he busted out a James Brown song during karaoke. He is as good or better than James Brown. I told him he should purse it as a career. He could play James Brown like Jamie Foxx played Ray Charles. I can't overemphasized how super stunning he is as a singer.
he looks and sounds like just blaze
thought that was Roy Jones Jr for a cream of wheat minute
bro. same here
"CHOOSE A SIDE"
one of the best parts of the show
Chief Miyagi loll i know he was so dramatic
If you haven't seen his movie called "Dirty" from 05 its a must watch! Basically he's a dirty cop!
He looks nice! Aging well, Mr Gooding!
People vs OJ is fucking incredible. Amazing actor.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾look like this dude is on his comeback shit because for the past years he's been doing a lot of unknown, low budget projects..
+Zgamer7 But still killing it!
so nice to see that he is cool about his "best lines" many actors dont want to requote and requote their old stuff.
His brother is very talented too. He was jody's friend on baby boy.
And he was also smart guys brothers best friend
Omar Gooding
@@kaybutterflyz q
IDGAF about saying I cried when I heard the not guilty verdict in the O.J. Simpson case, because., as Cuba pointed out, a woman and a man were brutally murdered and people didn't stop to consider the humanity of the victims or the suffering of their families. Anyway, I look forward to seeing American Crime Story to see how it compares to having watched it unfold back in the day.
Who peeped the sweaty armpits at 10:28 lmaooooo
Props...cuz he never stop working.
-message!

Yeah he looks a bit disshoveld and unkempt
I bet it was just hot in there and he was a little nervous.
+Kkay Barb wait THATS what you think is disheveled and unkempt??? jeez just because he has sweaty amrpits doesn't mean anything
+bailey1950 exactly!!! I'm not even hot half the time that I have sweaty pits.. ppl are just stupid
Great Interview
Does anybody know what song they were playing at 0:35, when Cuba was walking in?
i love this interview, cuba has help me with my own life problems also i understand why he didnt want to see oj, now i have more respect for him because at first i thought he didnt want to see oj because he didnt like him it was because he didnt want mix up the 94 oj to oj of today, great idea
Cuba looks like that drunk Uncle that is hella fun to be around.
What a real-ass dude.
David Schwimmer is in it, that's all I care about
CUBA GOODING JR WAS GREAT GUEST ON SHADE IVV !!!
Cuba is extremely underrated.

Lovelock,Nv....WOW

mr. gooding was very good in OJ but he fucking KILLED IT in american horror stories. GOD DAMN IT. this was so dope to see him in this.
nice interview
I watched this not long after watching Fighting Temptations.
Hallelujah, we wake up HOLY (thank you Bey)
his arm pits!!! lol
YALL MUTHA FUCKAS BETTER PUT SUM ON MY NIGGA OJ SIMPSON BOOKS !!!!
Thats What I Do Know
Oh shit! LOL
Lol x 2.....a person or group of people always make a profit off of someones name but never give the actual perso a large percentage for using his or her biography/name
fuck oj
+Richard Bebee get the man some commensary
One of the best !
radio was my fav tho
The greatest doc rivers impersonation of all time
When Cuba said N**** ✊🏿😅
funny at 17:45. in the series they talk abiut, that u cannot identify a black person by his voice. but cuba clearly does it :D
this is a win for oj he could sue the production company for millions if they use his name and likeness without his permission
ironically if cuba had gotten himself a better agent, he would have at least one more oscar
Still wondering why Cuba couldn't save Ricky.
+Teddy Fridgewater still wondering why Ricky couldnt wait to get home to rub them damn scratch offs, knowing that they were being chased. AND stop to "drain the weasel" . I dont know about you, but if im being shot at, ill hold it.
"I'm gonna have a poop..I'm gonna take a nap"- Cuba
Cuba took a sniff of that Henny and was like Aw Hell Noooo! lol
I’m proud of you Cubs Gooding Jr!!! 😊💯💯
My favorite Black actor period dude a beast.
It is a big toss up between him and denzel as one of the great black actors to have ever lived.
You forgot Sydney Poitier
+shortyjo and James Earl Jones. He is the Man!
Nah he's done a couple terrible films that fucked up his catalog such as Snow Dogs & Boat Trip, Rat Race... I give him a pass for The Fighting Temptations
+Ashraf pathaan Don't forget Samuel L. Jackson also
+shortyjo that's what I was thinking. I was born in 92 and even I know who he was
RESPECT
What's this beat poping in the bground?
Planet Rock
