"D Stands For Dignity"

"D stands for dignity", explained Chuck D when asked about his absence at Flava Flav's Comedy Central roast last year. As one of the few rappers that I've respected all the way to my adulthood, I can honestly say it was an honor to meet and talk to such an admirable guy.

Here's a recent interview I did with him for the skate publication, Slap Magazine. Although the piece barely scratches the surface on Chuck's importance and longevity, it was one of the few times I was in awe while conducting an interview. I played it off proper, but truth is, the whole experience was super surreal.

**Check back in a few months where we'll be relaunching WTTM, kicking things off with an extended, in-depth interview with Chuck D (with a slick foreword by Nate Nothing), complimented by an exclusive Public Enemy mix by DJ Eleven of The Rub. Believe the hype.
