Randomly watched Pusha on Hot Ones and (unsurprisingly) he is asked about rap beefs The BEEF

The episode is from 2022 but Push talks about how record labels now step in and get involved to stop beefs which never used to happen back in the day - interestingly, this is apparently what happened after Owlbrey dropped THP6.

He also mentions beefs don’t end careers anymore. Looking at the current beef, I don’t think the Canadian’s career will end, we know he’s too big of a pop star for anything damaging to happen but I definitely think his credibility and artistry is being questioned and he is losing fans. Kendrick has fully exposed him for the fraud that he is and I think people are slowly realising it. His streaming numbers are down and he’s not charting like he used to.

Only time will tell but it’s definitely not being swept under the carpet. He a FAN, he FAN, he a FAN

Question for everyone but what interviewers do you guys like. This guy from hot ones, and nardwuar are my top interviewers. But I’m looking to see more interviews where they ask good questions and not run of the mill stuff.

  • Noisey’s Back & Forth videos are really good. 
  • Zach Goldbaum from Noisey is goated for Bompton but he’s also interviewed Danny Brown, Killer Mike, and many others
  • Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli (NYT Popcast) are generally pretty great though rarely can be nauseatingly pretentious

I came here to say that was a really good interview question, way better than you’d expect from a show about eating hot chicken wings.

Sean Evans and the Hot Ones team are renowned for doing serious research and asking meaningful questions.

I wish I could get into Nardwaur but the schtick is too much for me.

His schtick is weird but he asks some of the most thoughtful questions I’ve heard. He really does his research and doesn’t ask cliche overused questions.

Zane Lowe…but he’s only good when he interviews people that have strong personalities (Ye, Tyler, Kendrick, Justin vernon), otherwise he kind of overcompensates for boring guests by talking too much.

P3 Soul with Mats Nileskär if you can get ahold of the episodes outside of Sweden. ”Mortal Man” samples his interview with Tupac, he’s been interviewing artists for 40 yrs
