I saw Wu live and loved it. Post Dirty even.

The main thing I think is if the club/venue has great sound or not.

Like I saw Nas outside at a festival and sure it was Nas but it didn’t translate that well. But I saw Tyler at a large club with unbelievable sound and it was incredible.

You mean you saw a lame artist who sucked and you saw an energetic performer who was incredible? Interesting.

I think a lot of people underestimate how important sound is to a show.

You think Nas is lame?

I know it.

I’m not a musician but I understand that if the monitors aren’t working it’s crippling to the band.

Do you think he’s dry?

Lifeless, dry, flat, uninteresting, whatever you want to call it. I respect his lyricism and influence but musically he's 100% snoozetime.

For a long time I said he needed a color man. A Flava Flav.

90% of my appreciation for Nas is Illmatic. The mixes on that album are really cool. I do get where you’re coming from. Not interested in opening up a hip hop war right now but a lot of the time when I check out the hip hop you recommend I feel like there’s too much Nas in it actually. I think a lot of the hip hop you like is really influenced by Nas but that doesn’t mean you have to like him yourself (or even that I’m right)

Ja his influence runs through a lot of what I enjoy. I'm probably just attracted to the more modern production. I do think that it's easy to get hung up on influences and miss what makes newer artists unique too.

I’ve decided I want to unite the workers at our restaurant and demand that everyone who works on average at least 20 hours a week be given the same health care as county workers with no employee contribution. I think we need to fight for our rights at the local level. Pay up or the place shuts down. Watch me get fired. So ****ing what? This is how **** has to get done.
