Way overdue. Will definitely listen. All we need is Dave, Jazz music & a joint (for me).

Didn't see a thread, tell em I was politicizin if old.

I love Dave and Mos but Talib Kweli has to be one of the least likeable people in hip hop. The guy is a condescending dick head. I used to a be a fan of his until I started following him on social media. Straight clown shoes.

Still might check out an episode though!

I know only one of these people... I hope it goes well for them I guess?

 

[Jaysen]

WTF is Luminary?

 

[EverydayBeast]

Dave will figure it out quickly super cool comedian who’s building a comedy empire the Dave Chappell show was super crazy.

The other two are rappers. They had a group called Blackstar in the late 90s and also had pretty good solo careers. Mos Def (Yasiin Bey) has done some acting as well and was in some pretty big movies like the Italian Job remake.

I thought podcasts were supposed to be free. Luminary is a straight no from me but YouTube clip looked alright

Amen.

Insufferable doesn't do his level of shittiness justice. He's just an awful "holier than thou" person in every facet of his life and music. Really makes me think twice when listening to his music.

Yeah I'd watch it on YouTube. Can't be bothered with membership stuff.

 

[eddie4]

oh joy, more subscription services.

Dave dope

But I ain't paying

Black Star is one of my favourite albums of all time, but I'm not particularly interested in what they have to say outside of music if it's more the activist or negative stuff. I'd much prefer a positive podcast - Dave's story in the YT clip is great and I'm up for more of that content.

What am I saying, I'm never paying for Luminary so it doesn't matter.

Im not subscribing, but will check out clips that slip by. If it gets real good I'll wait, get the trial, etc.

It's interesting.

Say what you want about Dave's politics - he's got nothing on Kweli in terms of douche factor.

Kweli would go after people on twitter all damn day calling them racist if they didn't agree with him, no exaggeration.

The guy got permabanned on twitter for harassing a woman over a stupid tweet and is apparently still harassing her through proxies. Pretty sure he just looks at Google alerts for his name all day like a psycho. It's a shame because he is a helluva lyricist.

I've heard Mos in interviews and he seems like a chill dude, whether or not his insight is amazing or anything who knows, but at least he's not a straight up asshole like Kweli.

Love the thelonious monk reference

 

[belmarduk]

So this is not available on Spotify or Apple Podcasts? I love Dave Chapelle, but not really wanting to subscribe to a new service.

I did a quick search to look into Talib being banned. Regardless of what you think of Talib’s defence, everyone in the situation looks foolish. She accused a list of rappers of “colorism” for marrying lighter skinned women, and at best he spent 2 weeks replying to her continued tweets over it, tweets from someone half his age and name no one knew existed until he shined a light on her. Dude needs to calm down getting amped up over vapid bait.

Hopefully Mos and Dave are a good influence on him.

In my searching I also saw something about a new Black Star track debuted on the show, so that’s something.

I kind of don't like Dave 'Podcast' Chappelle. Very different from standup Chappelle.

He's trying something different, give the man a medal.

I think agree, and to be honest I wasn't feeling his last couple specials, especially the one where he went on a diatribe/rant rather than performing funny bits.
