This interview is actually hard if y'all stop reacting so harshly.
People say that you’re “woke” now.
I’m not. I just grew up.
Maybe, but your work seemed to have a sociopolitical slant around the same time as that started becoming more popular.
I don’t think that’s true. People don’t think of life the way we used to. Because we communicate online and everyone has a personal brand. If Malcolm X was alive right now and lived the same life, people would say he “rebranded himself.” No, he just was Malcolm X. He evolved through his experience.
Speaking of Malcolm X, you hear what Dr. Umar said about you?
Laughs Yeah.
What did you think?
It’s old footage. I think he has some interesting ideas, but I disagree with him on that one.
I do think it’s interesting to separate marriage as a political act.
Yeah, I guess. But then where does it end? How would I know if something’s for me if it’s all a political act?
He's talented enough and given enough great media to act like this lmao
Donald getting real weird and full of himself.
This is usually where it all goes wrong
has he not always been like this lol
telling Zendaya to choose up, leave Sam and come to Death Row
also the How To With John Wilson love

Yeah there’s some good talk in here
I liked the bit about The barber episode of Atlanta being the worst reviewed but that’s the one he feels like most black people like the most and trying to find that balance
I think it’s funny that he’s still insecure abt being the ‘black guy who only hangs out with white people’ that’s followed him his whole career
Like the only reason that question is in the interview is to get us to be like ‘wow he doesn’t CARE what anyone else thinks’ like ok man
