Blame it on Aaron at HHIR who posted a video clip of this guy interviewing Nas and got me hella interested. This guy's shtick is that he dresses really strange, has no reservations in asking questions, and always ends interviews by asking his subjects to sing along to Doot Doola Doot Doo....
It's deeper than that though. He has an incredibly thorough knowledge of hip hop (among other genres) and he digs deep by asking uncanny questions. Think Robbie meets Borat.
So in an effort to humanity, here are the essentials in the Nardwuar discog (sans all other musical genres).
Meets Nas
If you've ever needed to watch something in your life, this is it. All the way through, trust.
Meets K'Naan
The Djibouti pun wears thin pretty quick, but K'Naan proves to be a cool enough dude.
Meets T-Pain
Teddy's a fucking fool, but this interview definitely has it's moments.
Meets Young MC
He proves his worth with an digging performance worthy of an archaeologist or Madlib.
Meets Common
I'm telling you, his knowledge is deep. Casper's Groovy Ghost, come on!
Meets Afrika Bambaataa
This is the one interview where he really didn't have to do much. Just lets Bambaataa's crazy ass go on about universal love, Zulu Nation, and what have you.
And that's just part 1. Stay tuned.

These were great to watch. Thanks for posting them. Nas seemed so cool, but then he was really pissed off at the end because he wanted him to say "doo doo", no way is Nas saying "doo doo". Haha. - shaun
