      I think this was one of the best interviews in a long time, but he does not look great for 54. Looks like a smoked out older dude on the street corner who has a lot of history to share. I met so many of those dudes growing up in Harlem. Reminds me of a few book vendors I knew on 125th street that sold books on African/African American history who clearly were base heads, but were knowledgeable and had some wisdom to impart. Dres does not look good in my opinion. Chi Ali looks about the same age as Dres, and he is younger than Dres!!! Look at Ali's last interview on Vlad TV. Chi Ali looked like shit!!

    We as a black race should recognize & understand how much power & influence we have when we pull our resources together.
    This is 1 episode I will willingly watch over & over because of all the substance that it contained.

    Dres explained the DJ situation perfectly. These days the audience is mainly looking for what is popular, not necessarily for what is hot. The DJ use to break records and the audience appreciated it immediately. Now, if it wasn't already sanctioned as acceptable, it's not hot. The industry is over saturated with people that aren't really talented and who follow a formula.

Now you can buy a controller and be the slave of the audience, the roles have reversed.

      Technology has evolved to where we can all be the DJ. Stop complaining about change and embrace and evolve.
      You don’t have to wait for the DJ when you can download or stream ANY ARTIST you want whenever you want.
      So the dj does not control what’s hot or heard.
      Listen to what you like not what they tell you.

Not sure if you heard what Dres said, but the industry has more control over what is heard and what is more than ever before. Not sure if you have the experience from that time to understand, especially if addressing the difference reads as a complaint. Peace and Light.

    This brother Dres is a real dude. I'm from Chicago and I had an encounter with him and some of his crew in the mid 90's. Back then our city was heavy into the gang culture. I myself was heavily involved with the nonsense. Anyhow, me and my people were at a club that we considered ours. So, one of my people comes up to me and says, " We got trouble at the front." I instantly get into fight mode. So we make our way to the front. I see the club security trying to separate the two groups. I walk up and ask one of my guys," What happened?" My guy is like," They trying to disrespect. " I'm like, " What did they do?" My manz is like," They comin' in here with their hats swinging the wrong way. " ( In Chicago a person could literally get killed if the bib to their hat is turned in a certain direction)... Dres was with about seven or eight guys. A couple of them were Latinos and they were the ones who my guys had a problem with.
    What I remember most was, these cats stood their ground and it was about to get ugly. Dres was the reason of voice. So I tell my people to chill out and let me talk to Dres one on one. He says to me," We mean no disrespect. We're from New York and that hat shit doesn't mean anything where we're from." I'm like, " I feel you, but here, it identifies who your enemies are." He says," Aight, but it's the way your guys tried to push on us. Feel me?" And to be real, he had a point. So I tell my guys to chill. In return he tells his guys to straighten out their hats. His guys DID NOT want to straighten those baseball caps for shit!!! Lol.
    After a little while had passed we were all talking as if there was never a problem. I had mad respect for the way that the brother Dres handled the situation.
    I had to tell my people, " We're supposed to be about Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom, and Justice. We're not supposed to be on that unconscious bullshit. Straight up!!" It was supposed to be against our principles to gang up on anyone because they had less numbers. Nowadays, none of that matters.
    At the end of the day, there was no blood shed and in reality, there never should be.

NY nigkas just HATE Pac bekause he took off on mf's & they stayed stagnant FOH Pac was the realist. By the realist I'm not saying he was a good fighter but he gone fight for what he believe in or around.

    Great interview, Dres needs more attention, his perspective is real. Dope to see these brothas still getting money and thriving.

    PAC was born in N.Y , our new York people will back Pac regardless and remember what you did at age 20s he was learning his circle! Music Industry had always been dangerous to our BLACK artist.
    PAC knew what had yo be done!

    I love how these interviews make me go back and find these artists' songs. It's easy to forget about the titans that came before the beasts we have today.
