XXL Magazine thought it might be interesting to get Dave Chappelle to interview Kanye West, Talif Kweli, Dead Prez and Common. And it might have worked. Possibly maybe. But there were too many egos in the room vying for print space and the opportunity to sound profound. That's what the Native Americans call "Bad Medicine."
And so, what might have been a great interview, had it been pared down and edited, became ... well, surreal:
Dave Chappelle: Martin Luther King used to have threesomes according to one FBI guy. Does that mean, because he cheated on his wife, that integration isn't a good idea?
Kanye West: See, God could send you a message in the form of a goat.
Talib Kweli: Perfection is imperfect. That's why no one wants to vote.
