    I feel like RA is still subconsciously trying to rap while he's talking.

    This is the best interview. No one compares. RA just adds stories to the madness that Nardwuar throws at him. Most of these guys he's interviewing are just shocked that he knows all this shit, but RA is so genuine. He loves talking about it.
    I've watched this interview too many times to count. Every fucking time RA says, "Well, what happened was..." I just burst out in laughter. So fucking good.

    @youngche8226 Před rokem +47

    RA is one of the most underrated emcees of all time.
    You hear stories from his youth, hear some of his bars and you’d think this dude is nuts.
    Then you see him for the person he really is. The father/man/son/family n friend/ all around person you realize how good of a dude he is really. RA is just a likable ass dude who makes dope ass music and kills it live!

      @zachmcniff Před rokem +4

      I grew up in the same town he did, went to (one) of the same high schools as he did as well (over decade after him). This kid in my neighborhood’s dad; “Billy the Barber” was a childhood friend of RA’s, and put me on to him in 2001 when I was 12. Absolutely blew my mind. Then I saw a picture of him a few months later and realized I’d seen him before when riding my bike.
      Met him in passing the first time when I was like, 13. And then I ran into him at the gas station outside my neighborhood a few times every couple of years until I moved. Dude remembered my name the whole time and was so chill and willing to talk for a sec every single time. Absolute legend of a human
