Yo, That was the best hip hop interview i have heard in years. All real talk. I keep telling people that Tupac is not top 10. But Clark Kent explained it best. Mel e mel, Rakim, KRS-1, Big daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Jay-z, Nas, Biggie, Ice Cube, Granmaster Caz, Lil Rodney Cee. Man he’s not even top 20 when it comes to hip hop lyricist. Thanks Clark for keeping hip hop alive.

great interview. thanks Kluback. i’m glad Kent said what he said about Tupac, he was good, but to be called the greatest is ridiculous. he isn’t top 10 lyrically at all. that brookyn’s finest beat was crazy, that ohio players ecstasy joint is a classic.

Bobbito Garcia a.k.a. Kool Bob Love says:

tupac’s best verse was on digital underground’s ’same song,’ very lyrical and ill cadence, check it out if you’ve never heard it before. it was first time being on record.

Steve Kluback says:

Now I clown around when I hang around with the Underground
Girls use to frown, say I’m down, when I come around
Gas me and when they pass me they use to diss me
Harass me, but now they ask me if they can kiss me
Get some fame, people change, wanna live they life high
Same song, can’t go wrong, if I play the nice guy
(clamin’ that they must have changed, just because we came strong) I remain, still the same (why Tu’?) ’cause it’s the same song!

Klu,

Greatest Hip Hop interveiw ever. Clark’s insights into the differences between a rapper and a lyrical MC and how money has changed the game were poignant. Oh, and as a true funkateer , I appreciate that Ohio Players Ecstasy beat, but check “Funky Worm”, too.

“It’s like one, two, three into the fo’
Brooklyn’s running the show, let em know”

awesome video! Jay-Z is definately in my top 5 of all time, but not sure if i could call him best ever. Biggie, Rakim, Nas are also on that list.

Diggin’ the Olympics sneaker and how everyone else is in 4th place. I never knew his relationship with Jay-Z went so far back and he was the one that helped him so much in his career.

CCB says:

I had to drop in on this after the Jay-Z/Biggie is the greatest. I understand record sales, breath control (KRS-One) lyrics, but to say that Jay-Z is the greatest when Nas literally murdered him with Ether diminishes Nas. Black President, the current incarnation of Nas I think in my personal opinion makes Nas the illest emcee ever. Just to be certain, this isn’t knocking Jay-Z and it isn’t right to put a duo against an emcee, but Outkast may be the most consistent Hip-Hop act in history considering their growth and maturity. Jay Z has done for years give him that, but so has Common and if I had to make a gamble on who the best emcee from Brooklyn is I would give it to Black Star (Mos and Kweli). Big, huge, gigantic respect to DJ Clark Kent but a big whoa and slow down on Jay-Z being #1 and leave it up for debate. Because if you really break down the greatest Hip-Hop tracks I think KRS-One makes it into the top 5, based on ‘Still Number 1, and I Got Next: the album” and longevity.
I say Nas, (I’ll be hated for this one, maybe not, dude changed the battle rap scene although he wasn’t the first to battle with that style) Eminem, KRS-One, Jay-Z and I have to drop a duo (Outkast) is my top five.

After that we have to go with skills, regardless of longevity, Rakim, Mos Def, Common, Scarface (Geto Boys hate me for that if you want but I can match song for song great tracks), Talib Kweli.

I felt compelled to write this and I approve this message.

One of the realest hip-hop interviews I’ve seen in a minute. Serious Sneaker collection too

NHTVSN says:

Thanks to everyone for watching this segment – we were honored to have the opportunity to work with DJ Clark Kent and he was straightforward and honest from start to finish, which is refreshing these days. Most people can’t give a straight answer but he put his opinion forward without reservation, which is a quality everyone can respect regardless of who he feels the greatest mc of all time is. If you like what you saw, stay tuned for part 2 of this interview which should debut in a week or two – this time, he goes way beyond sneakers and hip hop.

Steve,
I have an idea for a sneaker. Realistically, what can I do to get the sneaker companies attention?

SneakGeekZ says:

Yes this was an awesome interview I can’t wait for part 2. Jay-z, Biggie, DJ Clark Kent, Bobbito and many more are my inspiration and heros. Their Accomplishments inspired me to put my family first, stay out of prison and kick methadone. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, I can’t say it enough.

Feets Malone says:

I love how one man’s opinion sparks a debate. Each is entitled to his own and I respect an individual that can clearly articulate their point with passion, confidence and sincerity. Clark does this on the daily, whether it goes against the convential norm or way of thinking. It’s his opinion folks and he’s dually entitled.

I’m looking forward to part 2. More importantly, Clark’s ability to delve further into subjects other than music and kicks should come as no surprise. Far too often are we guilty of labeling one another and relegating ourselves to a defined box. Sneakers and music are the bonds that link us, NOT the consistency of our entire make up! The insinuation of anything else is disheartening and does us a disservice. We have more to offer and it should be expected rather than not….(excuse me as I step down from my soapbox and put the megaphone back in the cabinet)

Kent kept it real…there is a lot of hypocrisy in the game and cat’s do get it twisted…I’ve always said there is enough to go around but so many people are either starving, greedy or hungry for there own fame…no doubt Bambata was the planet’s rock sure shot…and those Jackie Robinson AF1 are sick!!!
