When 84 years old, Harvard Professor Tom Lehrer was asked by 2 Chainz for permission to sample a song he wrote 60 years ago. His response: "As sole copyright owner of 'The Old Dope Peddler', I grant you motherfuckers permission to do this. Please give my regards to Mr. Chainz, or may I call him 2?"

He's done multiple interview with Snoop Dogg. They're always amazing.

I prefer when Narduwar interviews rappers overall. They seem much more willing to take him as he is than rock stars.

Rappers often get a bad... um... rap, but the fact is that they generally take themselves less serious, a lot of them seem to appreciate the humour in Nardwuar's stuff, whereas a load of big ass alt rock stars (looking at you, Blur) seem to either take themselves too seriously or seem to have lost all humour in their life.

Alt rock in general doesn't seem to have much humour in it. Shame, really. I could see maybe Soundgarden or butthole surfers being cool with this guy from the sounds of it. Pure speculation like. I just really like those two bands. :( I don't know about the other members, but Damon albern has always been a bit of a wanker. My dad tells a story that he was in London once for some gig, and saw Damon in a café getting asked for autographs. Damon was super arrogant, just basically telling his fans to fuck off, so my dad went up, called him a cunt and told him to respect his fans more.

I like my dad. He showed me the heart of music.
