Suge rambles on and on. Podcast is hard to listen to but with a few tweaks i think it could be better. The host can’t keep him on point.
Nobody can keep Suge on point.But I think Dave is perfect guy to be doing this. He obviously knows how to present Suge because back when the Source was the “Bible” of hiphop Suge rocked the cover of the mag around the time of PAC’s Death and I still think it’s the best article anyone has ever done on Suge.He lets Suge talk and there was only one episode that was a slight anomaly where Dave was interjecting, I think it was the second or 3rd but Suge shut him down pretty fast on that note.
But that's what a good host should do. Interject, call him out (in a nice way), if Suge is saying something on the podcast contradictory to what he said in other interviews, the host should call him out and ask for clarification. The host basically gives Suge an open mic and says "tell me about INSERT SITUATION" and Suge gives an hour-long soliloquy that ends up going all over the place. But maybe that's how Suge wants it. Maybe he won't do the podcast if someone asks him tough questions. Maybe Suge only agreed to do it if we was lobbed softball questions and have the host agree with everything he says. Wouldn't surprise me.
very entertaining stuff by Suge I like that he subtlety dissed Danny Boy...Danny was talking reckless in his latest Art interviews
loved episodes 1-6..this one lost me a little. too much rambling
Dave only did that once. And it was probably the most interesting segment they’ve done, and it’s because Snoop actually called Dave directly so Dave interjected and was like—“well Snoop called me and Snoop said Jimmy paid for it”. That was a great segment.And I agree with you it might be cool to have Dave challenge him a bit like a real journalists might do but as you said I don’t think that’s the format Suge agreed to.And a lot of the “challenges” about Suge they get wrong anyway…Did you have Pac killed? (Dumb question cause Suge caught a bullet in the head)Who paid for Snoops court case? (This is kind of dumb too because as Reggie’s explained Interscope sort of paid for things up front but Suge was still responsible)Now there’s this dumb question being batted around on Art of — Did Suge bring Jada the ashes? (This one is also dumb because he could have been the one responsible for it but had one of his staff deliver it so it’s just arguing over details of how something was delivered 30 years ago).The proper challenges to Suge would be questions like…There was a noticeable detoiration in the quality of music from Doggystyle to Doggfather what happened there? From the Murder Was the Case soundtrack to the Dysfuntional Family soundtrack, from Dogg Food Kurupt to Against the Grain Kurupt. Why not ask him about stuff like that? Or what about all the money and time wasted on Crooked I and the album never came?? Daz solo was poppin why didn’t it even sell gold?? What’s his relationship with Daz? With Kurupt? Danny Boy said this what happened with Danny Boy exactly? What happened with Reggie? That’s all the stuff I wanna hear about is the music and artists.
Totally agree, i'm tired of him talking about Snoop, Dre, and Pac. I've heard it all from him about them. I'd love to know some more details about the other artists, like what happened with Nate Dogg's album, OFTB, etc. Talk about the rock label he was creating, and the jazz. Why did Lady of Rage come out so late and had all this DJ Premier production instead of Dre. I agree, stuff like that would be way more interesting than listening to him talk about Pac's death or what happened with Snoop for the millionth time.
