You read my mind, dude; I was just listening to it in the car. “My guest today is The RZA.”
Good times.

I like how she pretends she’s real familiar with wu-tang. Terry Gross is straight gangsta, biatch.

It was a lot less awkward than her interview with Chuck D, which got pretty ugly at times.

And when she listed all his nicknames, I yelled out to my empty car, “She forgot zig zag zig Allah!”
