And fuck complex, pretty soon we probly gonna have to click through 5 pages just to get to the audio of the fuckin show, its already bad enuff i gotta sit through benhameen’s mixes to listen to the interviews.

    • Older Gods

      Nah, benhameen has the best mixes out there.

    • http://twitter.com/djbenhameen Benhameen Button

      You could always fast forward.

  • MD

    I guess Clef stole that YELE money at the beginning of the day because all he said for an hour was ” at the end of the day”. Great intervewi as expected #salutes

      lol.

    the second half of the interview was on point, sound like yall were really happy to have clef in the studio, convo was flowing.

    but the first half concerning the earthquake was worthless. yall let clef bloviate and bullshit about YELE without asking any real pointed questions on the subject. if u gon take the interview to a serious topic, and devote so much air time to it, i think u gotta go in journalistically and actually interview dude…make him answer some hard questions and make it educational. otherwise yall just look like cheerleaders.

    prob woulda been better off to not even touch on the subject imo.

    respect

    • http://twitter.com/djbenhameen Benhameen Button

      Respect.

  • Ali

    At the end of the day, Blue Cheese tryin to get a free beat the way he riding clef.

    Yall definitely let him off the hook easy, I heard the other episode a while back where Combat tore up clef, dick smoker hahaha.

    That goat story was fuckin hilarious!

  • Older Gods

    Man, there is no way you guys are going to stay unfiltered and raw when corporate complex takes over. l’m dreading that day. Are you still going to have benhameen mixes?

    • http://twitter.com/djbenhameen Benhameen Button

      But of course! Where would I go?

      • Older Gods

        I’m glad cus l look forward to your mixes every show. And please don’t take my comment personal. It’s just that too many of our hip hop folk compromise their art and integrity. It leaves an opening for people who don’t care about the culture.

    • Matt Raz

      Complex isn’t involved in the podcast in any way, shape, or form. We are an autonomous entity.

  • Madoff WitDaMoney

    Yo, ya’ll let Clef slide on some BS. All he did was do the “nervous dance” around the subject trying to pass blame on to other organizations. Ya’ll let him big up himself and act like he changed the world cause he bought some bottled water. If you had him right there, press him about the accusations about his own family bilking the foundation and ultimately running it into the ground as the world expected that his no-experience having ass then tried to say he was busy “running fro pres”. He’s lame and loves to blow himself. Why don’t ya’ll bust his chops about that oiled up bike photo. Damn disappointed! Still love the podcast in general though.

  • PlayerScottFree

    Good episode overall. I like the return to the old format, minus all the banter. The black white red or yellow is okay but I didn’t need it this week and I wasn’t missed. Maybe every now and then.

    Wyclef is a fun guy to talk to but I wouldn’t mind if more questions were asked.

  • Kweli

    Pretty good interview. Not the best or the biggest artists ever on the show, but a good one. Y’all touched on it a little bit; I just would have liked to hear a bit more about Clef’s international reach, working with musicians like 2Face (Nigeria), Youssou N’Dour (Senegal). Unlike Dallas Penn, Wyclef fuks with Afrikans!!!

      Next time definitely hit us on the @CombatJackShow twitter or facebook.com/combatjackshow beforehand and we’ll try to get to your questions on air

    “At the end of the day” I think if he was asked more precise questions, he could have given more precise answers. I think he skated during the first part of the interview. I wished he was asked about that “We Are The World 25 Haiti” musical-nonsense. That was embarrassing.

    • Matt Raz

      Great points. Forgot about the We Are the World bit… you’re right, that would have been a great topic to bring up.
