Yo sharp, it was a god damn pleasure my dude!!!!! thank you to sharp and no jumper. also thank you to laura 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Your aren't lying when you say you're one of the best live performers to ever do it!
Love you, can't wait to see you live the next time you're in NY!
@@CrystalAzna ayyyyyeeee luv u! can't wait to get back to ny 🤘
Prof..... Been listening for YEARS. I about came UNGLUED when I saw this thumbnail. Congrats and MUCH LOVE from Nashville!
Prof you are dope af and your sound is different than anyone
Let Prof know he's loved! Like this if you knew Prof before this! Shout outs to Sharp as well, great interview as always
I was first turned on to Prof with "Squad Goals" and haven't stopped listening since!!!!
I been following Prof for 10 years now and own all his albums
Appreciate u!
King Gampo!!!

Prof has been one of the best kept secrets in hip hop for a crazy long time. This dude deserves mad respect and love!
BIG FACTS. He's been one of my favorites for a long time now. His new album too.. he just continues to be better and better. This album is amazing
Yep yep way back, Rhymesayers
I saw prof live in 2014❤
just got on this guy like... 2 or 3 days ago and was an immediate fan, his music is so under reported... 35 years on this planet and didnt hear about this guy one time... its crazy. people should be bumping his music anywhere you go. make people listen to him, its great.
Same. Same.. I know him for 5 days and Im listening to his whole music put on yt. many to be heard.
In Minnesota I remember hideaway smoke shops handing out prof cds with your purchase. Dudes been grinding for along time
Pretty obvious Sharp dont really understand Prof as a artist, but still asks enough interesting questions to make this fun. Prof should be doing his own podcast, dude is a character and a breath of fresh air.
I completely agree.... not sure this was the best match for an interview.
I mean a convo between two people who are fairly new to each other can go this well it was a success tbh
Seemed like he was kindof bemused by him, no tats, skinny white guy but hard as fuck music. The inigma.. but. Real people do real things
Yeah and Sharp looking for approval for his questions/actions to his producer is kinda weak. He can't seem to absorb the answers he asks.
Amateur interview. Talk to your guest and stop looking back for support. This fool should listen to how Howard Stern interviews people.
It's crazy to me how many people don't know PROF. Dude has got a video catalog on UA-cam that is crazy good and goes back awhile. Great interview.
Everyone go see Prof when he comes to your city. Most energetic and diverse performer. Every show is a blast.
One of the most fun shows I ever went to. It was sold out and everyone was singing along.
Hell yeah, I only discovered this dude a few months ago but if he comes in my area I’m there!!
"I've tried being humble, it's just not working out." -Prof, Bar Breaker
Exactly, May 3 Norfolk VA and norva
Bro, let people speak. Especially when shit starts to get serious. A good host knows the difference between the right time to speak and the wrong time to speak. Shout out to Prof. Seen the dude live twice and he is without a doubt one of the best performers out there. Really brings that energy.
Lol he’ll never be a good host
@@chillin4898 We need Nardwuar up in this shit.
@@K-Anator i would lose my shit if I saw Nardwuar vs Prof pop up in my notifications
He's too busy being his own little dumbass indoor glasses wearing slurm McKenzie lookin' ass.
Where's your podcast and UA-cam? Lol when was the last time you did anything if relevance?
"Animal" by Prof still gets me hyped. Glad to see him getting some shine
Facts 😂
Prof is on daily rotation in my household. Thank you Sharp for having him on. This was SERIOUSLY a treat!
Same here, not one day goes by that Prof isn't ringing through this house!
Everything PROF does is straight fire. He never misses. Ever. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
💯👌
Agreed!
💯👍 agree
He never hit 😂
Honestly never heard of No Jumper or Sharp before but Prof is the GOAT and I loved the interview
U haven’t missed out on anything believe me
@@exvandal187 🤣🤣
@@exvandal187what???? Prof is dope!!!
This dude seems like he’s just who he is and doesn’t gaf about opinions & appearances. I’m gonna check his music out asap … salute!
Haha his whole life is a mask
I discovered prof 10 years ago!! He's great!
Hard to write a comment to express just how much love I have for Prof.
❗WE NEED A PART 2 AND 3 OF PROF!!!!!!!!!!!!❗
Prof got deeper than I expected, been wondering who the guy REALLY is...now I know a good bit.
Looked like these two had a little aquard energy at a couple spots
Good to see both these guys getting bigger.
Respect fellas. Thanks for sharing.
Just went and listened to big angry monster. I’m a survivor of childhood trauma. I get it…. Awareness is key. Not many take the time to deal with childhood trauma..Props to Prof… 👏 🙌🏻 ❤
This is the first no jumper podcast that I actually watched from start to finish no skips not just playing in the background but sat and listened to every word .. if you haven't heard profs music then you are missing out on some of the best shit out no lie dudes the shit and this made me appreciate it even more . Hope he continues to bless us with his art. You don't need the radio to have made it ..cause your sold out shows says otherwise
MN BOOY!! never would've expected this interview, especially since sway scrubbed his interview with prof off of youtube ever since he got cancelled.
Man I never heard of this dude but he’s cool. Good energy. Look like Alchemist almost.
Prof is honestly one of the last people I expected on here but I couldn’t resist the click when I saw it!
Prof and Necro getting interviews on No Jumper in the same week is a beautiful thing for Underground HipHop at the same time as Lush One is gaining the audiences favor through more exposure on the other pods, it makes me Happy to see, Thank You.
Prof is even more unexpected he’s a local Minnesota artist compared to necro… it’s so dope to see
Rifleman too!!!
If you don't know Prof listen to him! If you haven't been to one of his live shows go!
He's not lying when he is one of the best live performers!
Sharp is the best thing on No Jumper 🤙🏽🖤
FACTS
Uncontested
He’s the best personality to work for no jumper I gotta admit.. but Adam22 is the goat.
Preech
Duhh . we been sayin
PROF been burning the underground scene for years.. hell yeah.
Yoooo my dude Prof on No Jumper!!! With Sharp? It's been crazy to see the come up. Great to see it couldn't happen to a better talent.
Been a fan for 11 years, and here’s to a million and 11 more. GAMPOOOO.
10 years here keeping it soupy
I been to plenty of prof shows and every single time he goes 110 percent best live performance ever
Facts. Seen him open up for Atmosphere before Rhymesayers dropped him from the label. Still got respect for Prof. His energy is unmatched when he rocks the stage.
@@Capsule71420 lmao they f'd up doing that
@@kylesunday3387 he went straight to the top of the billboards right after they did hell ya they messed up
Ight sharpe I’ll be 100 I didn’t know prof until now but I’ll never forget him bruh. Thanks G you added another great artist to the track list 😂
This is crazy! I would’ve never expected to see sharp with Prof. Prof is MF hilarious 😂 both their energy’s made for an amazing interview. I forget how I came across Prof music about 5 years ago, but been bumpin him ever since and always surprised he wasn’t bigger then he was. Dude is a fucking comedian, so I’m glad there is now an interview out that shows his personality.
Prof needs more time on the mic like this. Some of the most unique and authentic humans.
Whaaaaaaat!! Are you kidding me? I’ve been bumping prof since like 2008! Saw him perform many times! This is DOPE!!
Prof I was born in St Paul. Couldn’t believe you’re from Minneapolis. I love your music and style. Thank you so much for what you accomplish musically. You’ve got a reason to be proud cuz more and more of us are finding you and relating to you
So glad to finally get some in-depth convo from Prof. Dude's been a hit for 10 years at least
Shoutout to whoever always takes the time to include all the time stamps in the description!! I wish everyone did that!
PROF! Damn that song "Need your love" as a hilarious banger hen it came out. I didn't even recognize him! I just clicked on another Sharpe banger and thought "Damn this dude look familiar" was wondering where this dude was. Glad to see him here.
Charpe
Damnnnnn that joint is old as fuck lol glad u found me again
@@PROFGAMPO hey man, I have a lesser known podcast. Its called Its A Hard Rock Life. Im a musician and singer songwriter. I wanted to create a podcast that spans
all genres. I talk to artists about the balance of music, life and passions. Ive always dug ur shit and would really love to talk to u on my podcast. So glad u are really blowing up. I figured Id just ask. Any chance I could talk to u on my podcast? Either way man, keep doing u
i normally cant sit thru an hour of sharp but i love me some prof! 10/10 would recommend.
I absolutely love this interview, one of the best I've seen PROF do. He's my #1 favorite artist, the man is an amazing artist!
Check out Prof on the honey dew pod. Great interview
Love to see prof on no jumper, something I didn’t ever think would be
As one who was heavy into the Minnesota underground rap scene, this interview is dope as fuck
That scene is heavily underrated but that's okay
Isn't atmosphere from Minnesota?
@@jayelowel6249 yup st paul
@@bolognaman701 unfortunately very underrated we are 😢
@@bolognaman701 no they from Minneapolis as well
Man, i want to thank You Sharp for being the realest Man on no Jumper, no offense to the other employees. Sharp, You speak from the Soul, from the Heart & from the Mind. Man You give profound advice in a very down to earth and easy to understand way. i look up to You Man, i work with Stocks and Love Your Business and Life Advice on Your Podcast, Man Your music was banging back in the day, so much Peace & Respect upon You Sharp, You are the Truth Brother
I love the genuine love that you’re showing! ❤❤
Much love my guy !🙏🏽🥂
Agreed 🥹♥️
Music?? Let me find out
Yeah he's got an old video somewhere on UA-cam just look up Sharp no jumper rapping or something it was actually really good.
these are 2 ppl I listen to the most. PROF is underated AF!
When Prof says he is one of the best live performers ever, believe that!! The way I found out about him was at an atmosphere show where he was one of the feature acts and I'd never heard of him before. When I watched this man do his thing I couldn't believe I'd never heard of him and that he hadn't blown up. He stole the show! And If you ever get the chance to see him perform, do not pass up the opportunity!!!
💯
Same feeling.. Southsiders tour 2014. Prof has been in my daily rotation since that show.
One of the best artists I've seen preform.. always get a ticket when he's in the area
Same here saw him in 2014!
Heard of Prof before this but never heard his music. Gonna be checkin it out after this Interview. Sharp you one of the realest bruh. Respect.
🙏🙏
I've seen 5 Prof shows. Never disappointed! 🔥🔥🔥
It’s so dope he talked about his dad like that can be touchy and I can relate to having a parent with bipolar and depression and it needs to be talked about . Glad he took his art and knew he has purpose that no matter what in life people go through they still have purpose .
Sharps the dopest interviewer.. man I never expected to see my man Prof in the tank 🔥🔥🔥
Twincities Minnesota checkin in much respect to the Sharpie.. had some great interviews this month. Gorgeous Dre and Prof.... dope af
MN here too! ❤
🖤
One of the best interviews ever. Midwestern love.
His hard work and sacrifice does not go unnoticed. His live shows are fucking amazing. So fucking fun.
Prof a solid individual 👌🏼 good interview big dog
I first heard Prof like 6 years ago or so and IMMEDIATELY fell in love with his music and personality! He's insanely creative, talented, and funny to boot. Love that dude!
I can’t believe I didn’t see this before.
I’ve been to multiple Prof shows, and it’s literally has some of the craziest energy I’ve ever been around.
I’ve been to any type of show-rap, death metal, punk house shows, r&b, small shows, arena shows, whatever. But, Prof kills the whole building when he comes on and it becomes goddamn contagious.
It’s an insane mix of people, you have hip-hop heads, gross metal dudes with their battle vests, hot chicks, douche bags, and normal folks, and they all go crazy together.
I just want to add, the last Prof show I went to, was so packed the lady in front of my wife got bumped into, she turns around and gets in my wife’s face, then gets her boyfriend in my wife’s face with her. I fire back at both of them, and next thing I know, I’ve got three dudes all in my face and I was ready for that shit. I’m not even the type to fight, but the energy was high.
Next thing we know some guy in a bathrobe comes up to us and calms the situation down, and we ended up hugging it out.
But, not more than 10 minutes later I had to step in and grab a guy by the fist mid-punch to keep him from beating the shit out of another guy.
Again, I’ve been to so many shows, but never have I almost got in a fight, and broke one up during one set.
This dude should be massive right now, but because of his persistence, and his ability to mesh with his fan base, he’s going to be supported for the rest of his life.
Prof seems cool as hell. Keep showing love 🔥🔥🔥
This Sharp guy should do voice over. His voice is sooo rocky 😄
Minneapolis has two of my favorite rappers between Slug and Prof. been a fan of Atmosphere for 20 years and have seen them live over 20 times. Been listening to Prof for like 6 years now haven’t had the pleasure to see him live yet but it’s high on my list of shows to see I keep checking waiting for him to come do a show close to where I’m at. Props to Sharp for having him on I wouldn’t have expected this match
It sux Rhymesayers had to drop Prof. A little hypocritical I think considering slugs early lyrics when he was young. Prof said some fukked up shit.. I saw a few tweets of his from the past, like 10 years ago. I'm hoping he wasn't being serious and maybe 'on one'.
Being born from rape, other people saying they'd be down with it are quick enemies of mine... Also, whether it was a joke or not, sleeping with underage girls (17 and down) is not funny and is a crime.
Perhaps Prof should address these things and explain a little so new fans don't get the wrong idea. 🫵⁉️🤔😮💨🎭
I wish prof would fully explain what happened exactly in being dropped from rhymesayers
Glad to be part of that 5%. Salute to Prof! Been putting in work from coast to coast for years.
I quit music class cause I couldn’t read the music but could play along 😂I’m glad I’m not the only one
Thanks for putting Prof on!!! Man's so underrated
🙏🙏
Oh shit Sharp got the OG Prof. One of the most unique artists out right now
Oh shit!!! It's PROF!!!🔥🔥🔥💪🏾
Why the duck is this not on Spotify???? This man needs to be on every platform No Jumper has to offer!!!! Who is shadow banning this man? If you have not experienced Prof live y'all are MISSING OUT! I've been to hundreds of live shows at this point in my life, and never miss the opportunity to see Prof live! He is a Grade A++++ performer! Get out there and see this man! Even if you don't fuck with the music you will fuck with the live shows. PROMISE!
His album is now
I never in a million years would have thought these two would meet up
There are few shows that even come close to profs.. always so much fun.
Mad love for Prof! Been following him for years!!! Have signed cds on the wall in plaques!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I fucking love Prof and have for YEARS. I'm Australian, so Prof thinking no one knows him, let him know he is worldwide
Same Iv been obsessed since I first heard him he’s the goat I’m also from Australia he’s in my top 2 🙌🏻
Love you Prof! Can't wait to see you throw down in Dec!
It took a pimp to get some real hip hop on no jumper ! Much love Sharp
A Prof show in Detroit will restore any and all lost faith in humanity. Truly a beautiful and heartfelt experience.
I like this prof guy he just keeps it real dude, he's not ignorant to what really be going on but he also dont try to be something he isn't
Seen prof live at soundset back in 2016 i can confirm he was def the best and most energetic love performer that was there!! His set was epic and had every single person there jumpin! Nuthin but love prof 💯❤️
There is a state prof hasn't done a show in and we love him. Come to Alaska next year Prof
Prof talking about mental health was deep
Didn’t think my no jumper watching and fishing video watching would collide but here we are😳👍🏽😂
Same!
There will always be a spot in my heart for prof. He has helped me out with so much shit. I learned a great lesson with this podcast about his dad. When his mom told him about having his hopes up crazy shit we always think the best of people but in reality it wouldn’t even be good for them to be around.
Nobody loves anybody the way Prof’s fans love Prof & he gives us the best show on earth, period. Stop missing out! ✅✅
Yes 🙌🏻 High Point of the Week!!! 🎉 can’t wait to watch this and check out Sharps outfit!
Proud to say I been fuckin wit prof for years, dudes definitely top 5
Prof def gave me and my lil bro the best show of our life even though the venue was small AF he came in like fire on grass and lit the place up ! Even after the show men my cellphone were bugging but he waited before it worked before going to someone else knew right there he was someone special !
Prof definitely has the voice for radio or podcasts.
Yooooooo Sharp interviewing Prof......Legendary
one of the best interviews so far
Prof out here being the fucking man!!! Super thrilled to see him out and about doing this shit! Truly got NOTHING but positivity and good shit to say about the man! Much love!
Seriously like this dude. He has been real from what I have seen. Been beat around through the system and keeps going. Do not mistake him for a fluke. He is pretty real.
PROF is the example of living in the moment. Living NOW. Taking each moment for what it is and advancing. The next Super Star. 100!
Damn I didn't know who this guy was but now I do. It's good to hear people being real.
Grateful to see Prof getting more love. Great interview ❤❤❤
This meant a lot to me. Thank you both
This was awesome thanks both of you
Prof your music is inspiring on so many levels and in so many aspects of my life I appreciate you and will always look forward to your next hit 🎯💯
Been to many prof shows best live performances hands down I’ve been rocking with him many years much love and respect 🤘🍾🎉
Thank you both for this!! Great interview.
What an awesome interview. Loved every minute!
This was total surprise to me. But it’s much needed. Props to prof and sharp. Both underdogs that don’t know how to do anything but shine in this life. Inspirations both of em
Big love, Prof is killing it. Euro tour.. make it happen. ❤️
That was really a gem. As real as it gets. Hope y’all do another one!
I will say, having seen Prof live (in Portland) no one commands a show like him! EVERYONE was going crazy, in a good way. Everyone singing along, sweating, so much love. There was a little kid on his dad's shoulders the entire show, knew every word. We all did. The most hyped crowd I've ever seen, the most happy! The loudest, most beautiful crowd I've ever seen. I love hip hop but I'm known a a punk guy. Prof kills it live. A form of art, and art is as painful as it is beautiful. Go see this guy live if you get the chance. You won't regret it. He has the same birthday as me, we even named a cat after him. He will continue to change the world. By the way Prof, we love Louisiana!!! Keep killing it. So much respect. I know you sacrifice, but I'd be a little more lost without you. Love ya my bro. My favorite. I love to hear you as a real man too, outside of your music. I love ya, please keep trucking. (Love the Johnny Cash reference too!)
Prof is an awesome artist. Love his music
