Is it just me or is Russell Simmons cool as hell? He didn't seem so honest the last time he was on. Great appearance!

I agree, when Russel said that the show was a big deal I think opie's dick jumped a little.

Also is it me or does Russel have a little chippah in his voice...SCHINKEL BOUT IT

He's always had a bit of a lisp, that may be what you heard.

He meditates every morning, but he can't hire a speech therapist?

I'm sure he's never thought of that. In other news, Roland is fat, and Ant is an alcoholic.

I meant more like, he's obviously thought of that and has limitless resources, so why wouldn't he? With a thick NY accent and a lisp he sounds awfully silly.

He has gotten a lot more open and real over the last year or so compared to before when he was keeping up his image/always in the public eye.

I think it's just basically him getting older and giving less of a fuck about what people think. I like him.

I don't agree with his views on what words to use, but I like that he's got a philosophy. He was really open about things and didn't come off like he wanted to hurry and get out of the studio, so in my book it was a good appearance.

Russell sold me on some of that meditation shit, I can see why he's a millionaire.

I know it's Colin's bit, but weren't they too deferential? They burned him when he showed up at OWS plus the caller mentioned it, but they didn't even challenge him when he explained himself poorly. And while he may be charismatic, he's at the front of a lot of the shit that the show and especially Anthony rants about. They don't have to attack him, but why not suggest that they disagree? If you didn't know better, you would think they agreed with him the way they were getting on. Normally I get that they don't want to jam Roland up by rubbing big guests the wrong way, but this interview came off extra cringy.

Maybe they're just getting softer as they age. It doesn't seem like they take anyone to task unless they're willing to blow up the interview which they haven't done in a while. I agree that it would be better if Ant told him he disagrees like you said.

Yeah, I know they have to protect Roland and the company since the publicists and the PR industry will burn them and other shows as retaliation. It just seems disingenuous to talk all the political shit they do, especially when it's someone that I know they mentioned negatively, and leave the vitriol for Paris Hilton and cunty Penthouse girls.

It would be interesting to read World Star Hip Hop comments on this discussion.

He's entertaining. Spouts a bucket load of horse Shit inbetween though.

He is doing what all mega rich cunts should be doing ,enjoying life.

Big fan of his return appearance. Loved how laid back he was with the boys and was extremely honest. Wouldn't mind him coming back in the near future

So your saying Russell Simmons of Run Dmc and the founder of def jam is cool? Shocking

We're all friends here, sir.

You must not have heard him the last time he was on dummy

Save that kind of hate for Roland
