It always pisses me off when rock and metal fans say rap sucks yet there’s rappers like chuck d around who is intelligent has thought provoking lyricism but some How their music isn’t appreciate it
Can't agree more. Usually well-spoken and passionate. None of those "artists" that can't put two words together, can barely remember their names, and have nothing to say. They tried so hard to be cool that they are totally ... uncool. Usually disconnect after a couple of minutes.
What trips me out the most about Nardwuar is that he always has something to add to whatever tangent his guest may go on after his question. Really shows that the obscure questions and references don't just exist in his head for one interview, he really knows a crazy amount about things whether relevant to an interview or not.
i caught that too. he really does know his knowledge. he won't cut them off but if theyre tryna remember , nardwuar will lend a hand and finish the sentence
I dont't care who you are, you have to love Chuck D. Every interview I have ever seen with him he always comes across as down to earth, not to mention the crazy encyclopedic knowledge of music. A true artists soul.
I grew up mostly a punk and a bit of a metalhead and I loved Chuck and PE. I wasn't alone. The punk/rap cross pollination was real. Both were rebellious and political and sexy.

You can tell Chuck D is some sort of Demigod because he somehow used his powers to postpone (albeit temporarily) Nardwuar's freezing after the doot doot
I'm bringing ancient mathematics back to modern man My momma told me "never throw a stone and hide your hand" I got a lot of family, you got a lot of fans That's why the people got my back like the Verizon man
Jay ElecHanukkah You can keep all that "comment rapping" for yourself. That's not my commenting style. C'mon man, you can't act like when chuck d said "goup" it didn't catch you off guard.
I know what you mean. It’s sad that right now the people who make money are Trap/ autotune Rappers and the Old school 90s New York Sound is getting lost. Not completely I just listen to Masta Ace his new album. Great Hip Hop is not dead in 2019.
Chuck D. My favorite MC, from my favorite rap group growing up. Always enjoy the interviews from the ones that truly love music. So much history, and personal experiences shared every time. Would be pretty cool if you could interview Michie Mee Narduar!
Met Chuck and Flav while attending JOB CORP. Both came to the campus, sang 2 songs, Flav started roasting kids in the crowd and then they signed autographs. I ran back to my dorm, grabbed my jeans that I painted the P.E. crosshair logo on (among other things such as Calvin and Hobbes, Daddy Duck). Chucks eyes got big as saucers when presented the jeans and asked if he'd sign the logo. He smiled and asked if he could draw on them. I said sure and he then drew a small logo next to mine. #hazyshadeofcriminal
Nardwar starter pack: Microphone Long hair Plaid golf hat Shirt that always clashes with the hat Ask them who they are Expect the guest to complete a phrase about their name or pertinent subject matter Extensively researched notes Always say "You're___ we have to know about you" when they ask how you knew something obscure about them Gifts, mostly vinyl records of artists the guest grew up with, or got influenced by "What can you tell the people about____?" after handing a record to them Say "Baboom!" When the guest makes an offhand or flippant comment, or insults someone else Quote the guest from interviews they don't remember Ask why people should care about them "Keep on Rockin' in the free world." "do do da loot loot" Stand there, with microphone in hand with your mouth open
Nope, ya slipped on one thing. Don't expect the guest to finish the answer. Just give them the opportunity but always already know the answer so you can finish it when they don't.
Great interview between two very knowledgeable rap scholars. Nardvark is so OCD about his closing lines and Chuck D kept blocking it! Hilarious! Gotta love the Nardvark.
+PurplePandaClock lol i dont get the logic here , are "kids" of this generation supposed to know chuck d and public enemy who to tell the truth havent been popping for a couple decades. its like for example your parents or somebody from a previous generation sighing cuz you dont know there music
+Frank White I agree that if kids today don't know who PE is(despite Flavor's mainstream prominence over the past decade)that it's not completely their fault,but rather it's the byproduct of a cultural mainstream that has bypassed a group that still records and tours but doesn't fit well into the made-for-12-year-olds demographic of corporate radio. It's one thing to not care for PE's music.But to not even know who a group of their stature is,particularly in the information age,almost defies comprehension(and even more so if you're black or claim to be a hip hop head).
Saw P.E. on a free radio ticket 15 years ago or so.....last minute thing so had no condiments with....rolled up toward the front buzzin....band tuning up....massive doob appears in front of my face!....looked next door, smilin guy nodding his head....band kicks off....incredible live....15 min Flav drum solo....at times just sounded pure metal....unbelievable night....
I wanna see Nardwuar Vs Kanye West Eminem Dr. Dre Ice Cube Rakim KRS-One Big Daddy Kane Kool G Rap DMX Jadakiss Styles P Scarface Method Man Redman Slaughterhouse
+Manny Otero I had posted the link for Nard vs Ice Cube but I guess someone marked it as spam without reviewing it. Anyway just search Nardwuar vs Ice Cube. It's not a long interview, unfortunately.
alotta people forget that Hip Hop is only over 40 years old! so hence there are only a HANDFUL of ELDER STATESMEN in their 50s! Chuck D is obviously a Hip Hop cornerstone hands down. Two greats in their own respective fields!!
Fucking love the point in the interview when the artists realize that Nardwuar is going to be asking what THEY'RE interested in, what they love, what makes them tick, instead of the 10,000 previous shitty interviews with the same boring 15-20 questions about work. Could you imagine being asked the same questions about your job over and over for 30 years? "So when you filter the fryers, do you filter them hot or let them cool down a bit?" "How do you remember all of those produce codes, is there a method to learning them?"
I've noticed that the majority of the rappers and metal musicians he interviews are chill or funny as hell despite their tough personas (with a few band exceptions) and so many of the indie bands Sonic Youth, Blur, etc. are obnoxious pricks
I love it when Nardwuar interviews mature artists. I feel like they have so much history and context for Nardwuar to build his interviews off of.
Wutwut1n1 For real.
All the young cats tend to get overwhelmed by their own gimmicks.
Agreed. Chuck D has a ton of knowledge of early hip hop and classic R&B and that really comes through in this.
It always pisses me off when rock and metal fans say rap sucks yet there’s rappers like chuck d around who is intelligent has thought provoking lyricism but some
How their music isn’t appreciate it
Can't agree more. Usually well-spoken and passionate. None of those "artists" that can't put two words together, can barely remember their names, and have nothing to say. They tried so hard to be cool that they are totally ... uncool. Usually disconnect after a couple of minutes.
If he had of interviewed Chuck in the 80's you would have more or less the same result. Chuck's iq is far and beyond nearly every rapper of today
Chuck D had info on every record he pulled out. First person with a response to everything, rap encyclopedia.
Questlove and RZA are up there too. they all know their shit
donnyinlakai561 DJ Premier aswell
trey williams DJ Premier just about the same
CHUCK D would know, he's the OG rap teacher!!
There's a fair few that ace the Nardwuar test
Chuck D's got a perfect radio voice.
Matter of fact, he was a college radio DJ during his time at Adelphi University back in the 80's.
He was a DJ at WBAU FM, Adelphi College's radio station and later for Playback FM.
He did a Radio DJ Role on GTA San Andreas' Playback FM
The voice with the muscles in it.
Just ask Rick Rubin.
He voice naturally had authority.
The way Chuck D asked Nardwuar to put the doll on his shoulder is one of the most unexpectedly wholesome things I ever seen.
You interviewed Chuck so now YOU HAVE TO interview KRS!!!
I'd love to see that!
KRS would prob be quite annoying
Oh he is
What trips me out the most about Nardwuar is that he always has something to add to whatever tangent his guest may go on after his question. Really shows that the obscure questions and references don't just exist in his head for one interview, he really knows a crazy amount about things whether relevant to an interview or not.
i caught that too. he really does know his knowledge. he won't cut them off but if theyre tryna remember , nardwuar will lend a hand and finish the sentence
Cool, yet respectful. Wouldn't expect anything else from my man chuck d
Mo why would he be disrespectful?
I dont't care who you are, you have to love Chuck D. Every interview I have ever seen with him he always comes across as down to earth, not to mention the crazy encyclopedic knowledge of music. A true artists soul.
I grew up mostly a punk and a bit of a metalhead and I loved Chuck and PE. I wasn't alone. The punk/rap cross pollination was real. Both were rebellious and political and sexy.
Remember when the collaborated with Anthrax?
I love how Chuck is so into music & it's history. It's fun for him, and he also understands the cultural importance.
Nardwuar always bringing up Blowfly haha
Theblobbyshow Well yeah, Blowfly is a Godfather of Hip-Hop. Almost even more so than Gil-Scott Heron.
James Brown & Kool Herc
And Millie Jackson
It's how he relates to black folks.
And the Cheech & Chong records to the potheads.

you can keep the doll!
Lmao sounded like he even beat him to it a little..
6:31
Charly 😂😂😂
It's great how he just walks away at the end and leaves Nard-dog in suspended animation
first 3 mins Chuck D was unsure... then he sees the realm of rap history revealing itself and warms up a bit... still too cool at the end tho haha
Greatest emcee there ever was.
The short interviews that end up feeling like half an hour are the best ones. Packed with gems.
Chuck is a fountain of knowledge.
I love watching Chuck D go from being distant to smiling like a little kid by the end
I always love when this happens. Two very different people having an amazing, interesting, and educating conversation. So damn cool. Thank you!
Nardwuar really brought a TON of records for this one
poetryjesus Dude...that's Chuck D! That's like meeting the pope!

C'mon man, you can't act like when chuck d said "goup" it didn't catch you off guard.
What a legend. You can tell straight away that this is going to be an interview filled with knowledge.
it's sad this interview only has around 55 thousand views and others with mainstream rappers are in the millions if not hundreds of thousands. FML
It's doubled that now. That's something.
I hear ya, this should have 10 million views or more, it's CHUCK D. This is disrespectful.😔
I know what you mean. It’s sad that right now the people who make money are Trap/ autotune Rappers and the Old school 90s New York Sound is getting lost. Not completely I just listen to Masta Ace his new album. Great Hip Hop is not dead in 2019.
People are fuckin stupid. They just listen to what's trendy and don't want to find out the history why current rap is even possible.
Nardwuar you really need to interview KRS-One!
has he!?
No cap
Legend right here, good job Nardwuar!
The amount of musical knowledge between these two is just amazing. Check out Chuck D's podcast on the Clash. Excellent
Nardwuar's musical knowledge is unbelievable
Yo that was dope...A lot of good history in this interview.
Chuck D. My favorite MC, from my favorite rap group growing up. Always enjoy the interviews from the ones that truly love music. So much history, and personal experiences shared every time.
Would be pretty cool if you could interview Michie Mee Narduar!
Thank you very much for this Nardwuar!!
"I SHUT'EM DOWN"

First interviewe I see getting away smoothly from the Nardwar freeze lol
The only Guy if i meet him, i could be freeze by the emotion!
True legend right here!
I don't accept gifts... clearly his first run with Nardwuar lol
Chuck is so chilled, yet he's an absolute monster on the mic.
Nardwuar vs Sway Calloway
I banish the fake. Never thought of that! Imagine how much music knowledge in one place?!
^^^right?!?!? It would be insane
^^^that too
take22bk Charlamagne not a musician
Nardwuar vs Cab Calloway
f*ckin legend Chuck D!!!! 👊🏽 great interview. We love you Nard
Epic again N.
Encyclopedic. Sincere. Pinicale of Gonzo.
please keep doing what you're doing, I love it, thank you for all your hard work

#hazyshadeofcriminal
outstanding as always Cheers !
If this is the point of these interviews: Chuck D knows his history. That was interesting, could have gone for longer.
Best interview ever, so good
Chuck D, legend....its that simple
I wanna see Nardwuar VS Nardwuar.............that would be incredible!!!!!!
skaface32 Nardception
skaface32 The video would be a month long, seeing how much music he listens to

Lmfaoo yess

You know Drake doing it up when Chuck D speaks his name
DKM897 doing it up eh?
DKM897 lol
Nah,B.
Chuck was just lettin' you Drake fans know the time on his Canadian forbears.
Drake's a puss. Plain and simple
This was awesome public enemy is one of my favorite groups of all time.
Hahahahah when chuck D thank him he's the only one that made nardwaur break his pose
Chuck D sounds like Don Cornelius
On sooouuul train and as I bust off leave a bloodstain, a bigger pain, bite of Rakim, you copy Big Daddy Kane, you will need vaccane
Bring the Noise was huge for me. I was probably like 7 at the time. My brother and I would take turns rapping.
legendary im crying
Dope interview
As a longtime PE and Chuck D fan I've never seen - and I love this, Chuck so chill and disarmed.

Don't expect the guest to finish the answer. Just give them the opportunity but always already know the answer so you can finish it when they don't.
Great interview between two very knowledgeable rap scholars. Nardvark is so OCD about his closing lines and Chuck D kept blocking it! Hilarious! Gotta love the Nardvark.
Chuck D interview=37 thousand views, Rae Sremmurd=370 thousand views. Sigh, kids these days

This nigga literally typed down the word 'sigh'
Its whats popular come on get some common sense . Its like parent trying to push van Halen on me
@@smokinnplatez1426 yeah but what's popular right now is literally like the worst garbage ever put out
Man, I could watch Chuck D and Questlove talk for HOURS.
Gotta give it to Narduar:
He respects music history.
This should be exciting
Saw P.E. on a free radio ticket 15 years ago or so.....last minute thing so had no condiments with....rolled up toward the front buzzin....band tuning up....massive doob appears in front of my face!....looked next door, smilin guy nodding his head....band kicks off....incredible live....15 min Flav drum solo....at times just sounded pure metal....unbelievable night....
Amazing interviewer

Ice Cube
Rakim
KRS-One
Big Daddy Kane
Kool G Rap
DMX
Jadakiss
Styles P
Scarface
Method Man
Redman
Slaughterhouse
We need the top 4 for sure
He did ice cube back in the 90s, if you look around you can find it.
+Manny Otero I had posted the link for Nard vs Ice Cube but I guess someone marked it as spam without reviewing it. Anyway just search Nardwuar vs Ice Cube. It's not a long interview, unfortunately.
Mr. Montana let’s see Nardwuar vs Devin the Dude
Nard vs Redman would be such a dope interview! Reds personality would go great!
Five-O said, "Freeze!".......... and I got numb
But they knew that I never really had a gun, but it's the wax that the terminator x spun
I love when ***** goes to Austin! He'll be coming back with the BEST interviews! This is EPIC!
Chuck D is what all rappers try to get to. He has the most powerful voice in hip hop history. I'd love to hear a discussion with Chuck and KRS-1.
alotta people forget that Hip Hop is only over 40 years old! so hence there are only a HANDFUL of ELDER STATESMEN in their 50s! Chuck D is obviously a Hip Hop cornerstone hands down. Two greats in their own respective fields!!
AQUAPHREESH193
The only way I could respect Chuck more, is if he were to do twenty fuckin years in the can. Now go home and get your JACKKEETT!
I could be wrong but It was like Chuck D was smiling a lil more than usual n Nardwuar was slightly more serious than usual. 🤣🤣
Great one Nuardwar.
first time nardwuar ever stopped during the end?
Haha yeah, that was a bit awkward!
Stopped what?
I banish the fake. during the "keep on rocking in the free world" part he let chuck d cut him off
Nardwuar stops at the end in his interview with Lil B
Lil B is the fucking man
Nard is always informed. It's how he brought artist in. Nard vs rollins... it gave him cred.
This dude is a historian. For me, I really appreciate what he says... One of the Best
the hard rhymer!!!! thanks nardwar!!!
LEGENDARY
Nardwuar is like a magician interviewer
I like how he gives people gifts. And asks them cool questions.
I learned so much. Real hip hop history for real hip hop heads.
2 of the greatest of all time
breaking at the end. respect.
yo can listen to chuck d and krs one all day
2:07 Chuck is thinking: What kinda interview is this?
Lmao
Chuck D - I salute you sir - Great interview Nardwuar :-)
Hell yeah! Chuck Kool Thing D repping Long Island!
Doug Wimbish was a part of Seal's love band. Mug Skillings was one of the founding members of Living Colour.
Kasper Tha phantom was here to like and comment on the video.
YOUR REALITY IS A FANTASY BUT YOUR FANTASY IS KILLING ME
Chuck D is one of the all time greatest 🎤👌 Public Enemy Number 1!
Fucking love the point in the interview when the artists realize that Nardwuar is going to be asking what THEY'RE interested in, what they love, what makes them tick, instead of the 10,000 previous shitty interviews with the same boring 15-20 questions about work. Could you imagine being asked the same questions about your job over and over for 30 years? "So when you filter the fryers, do you filter them hot or let them cool down a bit?" "How do you remember all of those produce codes, is there a method to learning them?"
Could listen to chuck d all day.
I've noticed that the majority of the rappers and metal musicians he interviews are chill or funny as hell despite their tough personas (with a few band exceptions) and so many of the indie bands Sonic Youth, Blur, etc. are obnoxious pricks
Weed.
He knows ALOT!
What an awesome guy
PUBLIC ENEMY # 1, is a LEGEND, & BAD ASS!!!!!
Chuck successfully interrupted Nard's freeze pose at the end.
For me Chuck D is in the same level as lyrical out speaker as bob Dylan!
Nardwaur does his homework which in turn finds common ground for the two to make a one of a kind interview.
DOPE!
You should interview The Garden twins!
Chuck D is still the voice of the culture. Public Enemy has always been the CNN of Hip-Hop....God Bless the Lead Anchor!
