I’m not a huge fan of rap at all, except for some early 80’s and some novelty rap. But, I thoroughly enjoyed both the interview and Nas’ performance. He may make me a fan yet. Nice work!

Completely OT, but since the featured video is Reisman, I just want to say that the part at the beginning – when he is doing the voice check with Mission Control / Houston — is just the ABSOLUTELY CUTEST THING in the universe when he realizes that he’s connecting in. I could watch it all day.
That is all, back to Nas :-)

Well, nyah nyah, Comedy Central — the “Full Episodes” site still shows all segments of that show! :)
I could have watched a video of Nas’s “Sly Fox” elsewhere, of course, but I do like foiling censorship!

Oh, and the link offered above says it only works within the US — I’m in Germany.
Darn!

I watch Stephen at the Comedy Central website. I saw the episode with Nas, right up through the Nas interview, and was saving the last clip – Nas doing his rap – for later (as a reward after getting some work done).
But — what’s this! Both the interview and the song have disappeared from the website! Are people really _that_ riled by Nas? (O’Reill’d?)
Weird.

AlterNet posted a glowing response to the piece (the poster was actually involved in the petition drive, but it's still a great review). Also, Lincognocity -- HA!

“Fox News believes in all protesters exercising their right to free speech including Nas who has an album to promote.”

They really just keep showing their class over and over, don’t they?

…upon further discovery, there is also one dedicated to Stephen. :)

The best part of the Huffington article is if you scroll down the page, there’s a box on the right that has the “HuffPost’s Big News Pages” and Jon Stewart is a feature. Love it.

…can’t wait to watch last night’s episode when I get home from work!

I thought it was a good interview. Gave me a couple of out loud chuckles, which is always a good sign for me.
