I love it when Nardwuar interviews mature artists. I feel like they have so much history and context for Nardwuar to build his interviews off of.

Chuck D had info on every record he pulled out. First person with a response to everything, rap encyclopedia.

Chuck D's got a perfect radio voice.

What trips me out the most about Nardwuar is that he always has something to add to whatever tangent his guest may go on after his question. Really shows that the obscure questions and references don't just exist in his head for one interview, he really knows a crazy amount about things whether relevant to an interview or not.

You interviewed Chuck so now YOU HAVE TO interview KRS!!!

The way Chuck D asked Nardwuar to put the doll on his shoulder is one of the most unexpectedly wholesome things I ever seen.

Cool, yet respectful. Wouldn't expect anything else from my man chuck d

I dont't care who you are, you have to love Chuck D. Every interview I have ever seen with him he always comes across as down to earth, not to mention the crazy encyclopedic knowledge of music. A true artists soul.

I grew up mostly a punk and a bit of a metalhead and I loved Chuck and PE. I wasn't alone. The punk/rap cross pollination was real. Both were rebellious and political and sexy.

I love how Chuck is so into music & it's history. It's fun for him, and he also understands the cultural importance.

You can tell Chuck D is some sort of Demigod because he somehow used his powers to postpone (albeit temporarily) Nardwuar's freezing after the doot doot

Nardwuar always bringing up Blowfly haha

"Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamp."

Greatest emcee there ever was.

first 3 mins Chuck D was unsure... then he sees the realm of rap history revealing itself and warms up a bit... still too cool at the end tho haha

Chuck is a fountain of knowledge.

I always love when this happens. Two very different people having an amazing, interesting, and educating conversation. So damn cool. Thank you!

The short interviews that end up feeling like half an hour are the best ones. Packed with gems.

Nardwuar really brought a TON of records for this one

I love watching Chuck D go from being distant to smiling like a little kid by the end

My name is chuck d and the name of my goup is public enemy

What a legend. You can tell straight away that this is going to be an interview filled with knowledge.

Thank you very much for this Nardwuar!!

it's sad this interview only has around 55 thousand views and others with mainstream rappers are in the millions if not hundreds of thousands. FML

Legend right here, good job Nardwuar!

Yo that was dope...A lot of good history in this interview.

Nardwuar you really need to interview KRS-One!

Chuck D. My favorite MC, from my favorite rap group growing up. Always enjoy the interviews from the ones that truly love music. So much history, and personal experiences shared every time. Would be pretty cool if you could interview Michie Mee Narduar!

The amount of musical knowledge between these two is just amazing. Check out Chuck D's podcast on the Clash. Excellent

Nardwuar's musical knowledge is unbelievable

Epic again N. Encyclopedic. Sincere. Pinicale of Gonzo.

Best interview ever, so good

outstanding as always Cheers !

Met Chuck and Flav while attending JOB CORP. Both came to the campus, sang 2 songs, Flav started roasting kids in the crowd and then they signed autographs. I ran back to my dorm, grabbed my jeans that I painted the P.E. crosshair logo on (among other things such as Calvin and Hobbes, Daddy Duck). Chucks eyes got big as saucers when presented the jeans and asked if he'd sign the logo. He smiled and asked if he could draw on them. I said sure and he then drew a small logo next to mine. #hazyshadeofcriminal

please keep doing what you're doing, I love it, thank you for all your hard work

f*ckin legend Chuck D!!!! 👊🏽 great interview. We love you Nard

Chuck is so chilled, yet he's an absolute monster on the mic.

Black Steel

"I SHUT'EM DOWN"

Nardwuar vs Sway Calloway

The only Guy if i meet him, i could be freeze by the emotion! True legend right here!

This was awesome public enemy is one of my favorite groups of all time.

legendary im crying

First interviewe I see getting away smoothly from the Nardwar freeze lol

I wanna see Nardwuar VS Nardwuar.............that would be incredible!!!!!!

Chuck D, legend....its that simple

Dope interview

I don't accept gifts... clearly his first run with Nardwuar lol

If this is the point of these interviews: Chuck D knows his history. That was interesting, could have gone for longer.

As a longtime PE and Chuck D fan I've never seen - and I love this, Chuck so chill and disarmed.

You know Drake doing it up when Chuck D speaks his name

Great interview between two very knowledgeable rap scholars. Nardvark is so OCD about his closing lines and Chuck D kept blocking it! Hilarious! Gotta love the Nardvark.

Nardwar starter pack: Microphone Long hair Plaid golf hat Shirt that always clashes with the hat Ask them who they are Expect the guest to complete a phrase about their name or pertinent subject matter Extensively researched notes Always say "You're___ we have to know about you" when they ask how you knew something obscure about them Gifts, mostly vinyl records of artists the guest grew up with, or got influenced by "What can you tell the people about____?" after handing a record to them Say "Baboom!" When the guest makes an offhand or flippant comment, or insults someone else Quote the guest from interviews they don't remember Ask why people should care about them "Keep on Rockin' in the free world." "do do da loot loot" Stand there, with microphone in hand with your mouth open

Bring the Noise was huge for me. I was probably like 7 at the time. My brother and I would take turns rapping.

alotta people forget that Hip Hop is only over 40 years old! so hence there are only a HANDFUL of ELDER STATESMEN in their 50s! Chuck D is obviously a Hip Hop cornerstone hands down. Two greats in their own respective fields!!

Amazing interviewer

This should be exciting

Hahahahah when chuck D thank him he's the only one that made nardwaur break his pose

Chuck D is what all rappers try to get to. He has the most powerful voice in hip hop history. I'd love to hear a discussion with Chuck and KRS-1.

Great one Nuardwar.

Man, I could watch Chuck D and Questlove talk for HOURS.

I love when ***** goes to Austin! He'll be coming back with the BEST interviews! This is EPIC!

I like how he gives people gifts. And asks them cool questions.

Chuck D sounds like Don Cornelius

Saw P.E. on a free radio ticket 15 years ago or so.....last minute thing so had no condiments with....rolled up toward the front buzzin....band tuning up....massive doob appears in front of my face!....looked next door, smilin guy nodding his head....band kicks off....incredible live....15 min Flav drum solo....at times just sounded pure metal....unbelievable night....

This dude is a historian. For me, I really appreciate what he says... One of the Best

LEGENDARY

the hard rhymer!!!! thanks nardwar!!!

Nard is always informed. It's how he brought artist in. Nard vs rollins... it gave him cred.

I wanna see Nardwuar Vs Kanye West Eminem Dr. Dre Ice Cube Rakim KRS-One Big Daddy Kane Kool G Rap DMX Jadakiss Styles P Scarface Method Man Redman Slaughterhouse

Gotta give it to Narduar: He respects music history.

Five-O said, "Freeze!".......... and I got numb

breaking at the end. respect.

Chuck D interview=37 thousand views, Rae Sremmurd=370 thousand views. Sigh, kids these days

Nardwuar is like a magician interviewer

I've noticed that the majority of the rappers and metal musicians he interviews are chill or funny as hell despite their tough personas (with a few band exceptions) and so many of the indie bands Sonic Youth, Blur, etc. are obnoxious pricks

first time nardwuar ever stopped during the end?

2 of the greatest of all time

Chuck D - I salute you sir - Great interview Nardwuar :-)

Fucking love the point in the interview when the artists realize that Nardwuar is going to be asking what THEY'RE interested in, what they love, what makes them tick, instead of the 10,000 previous shitty interviews with the same boring 15-20 questions about work. Could you imagine being asked the same questions about your job over and over for 30 years? "So when you filter the fryers, do you filter them hot or let them cool down a bit?" "How do you remember all of those produce codes, is there a method to learning them?"

yo can listen to chuck d and krs one all day

DOPE!

I learned so much. Real hip hop history for real hip hop heads.

Hell yeah! Chuck Kool Thing D repping Long Island!

Kasper Tha phantom was here to like and comment on the video.

Doug Wimbish was a part of Seal's love band. Mug Skillings was one of the founding members of Living Colour.

Chuck successfully interrupted Nard's freeze pose at the end.

YOUR REALITY IS A FANTASY BUT YOUR FANTASY IS KILLING ME

What an awesome guy

He knows ALOT!

I could be wrong but It was like Chuck D was smiling a lil more than usual n Nardwuar was slightly more serious than usual. 🤣🤣

2:07 Chuck is thinking: What kinda interview is this?

Could listen to chuck d all day.

PUBLIC ENEMY # 1, is a LEGEND, & BAD ASS!!!!!

Best 'Doot Doo' ever in Nardwuar's history.

legendary

Nardwaur does his homework which in turn finds common ground for the two to make a one of a kind interview.

For me Chuck D is in the same level as lyrical out speaker as bob Dylan!

😂 "have the doll straddle my shoulder"
