  14. Kingp says:

    If you can’t tell that man is retardedly high, than I don’t know what to tell you. And you’re right, he’s not always high, just in 95% of his interviews.

  17. Truth will out says:

    Dyson is a generation before, but he’s still Hip Hop generation. Dudes like 2 years older than Chuck D around Curtis Blow’s age. The start of Hip Hop generation

  18. supppp says:

    Nas and Eminem would’ve been a dope collab in 2001. Right after Em did MMLP and Nas did Stillmatic.. The shit would’ve been fire, especially since they had a deep respect for each other since then.

    I haven’t read the whole book yet but I started it and its good so far. I think its amazing for an artist to have their work written about by people with the level of respect and education as Michael Eric Dyson.
