never forget that this dude used to wear a suit and carry around a empty breifcase with a newspaper and a apple in it🤣
Dante is responsible for bringing us some of the greatest hip-hop of all time. From De La Soul and Queen Latifah to Brand Nubian and KMD; from Del The Funky Homosapien and KMD to Pete Rock & CL Smooth and Everlast, to so many others... He was there with the Beasties at the beginning, and has helped shepherd DOOM's estate in the afterlife. We all owe him some flowers and some gratitude. And I personally do, as well, for mentoring me early in my career and teaching me how records really get made. This conversation was a joy to have, and hopefully will whet your appetite to check out his fantastic autobiography, Son of The City.
💯🤙😎
His book is great, I've listened to the audio book several times. It's inspiring tbh
And your responsible for presenting us so much game from legends 👏🏾 🙌🏾 thanks because it's alot of people you present that I don't know class always in session I appreciate you 💎❤️🔥💫⚡️
My mentor was Sun Ra king of the avant-garde jazz.

This guy is a natural born musical genius. He made a big piece of hip hop history. Plus he is the funniest storyteller.
I love Dante Ross, I’m big fan of literally all of the acts that he’s signed or worked with from De La Soul, KMD (*MF Doom) , Leaders of the New School, Queen Latifah, Brand Nubian, Pete Rock and CL Smooth. And I also loved the production work that he did with the Stimulated Dummies, I always looked forward to hearing those remixes.
Idea Generation thank you for once again reigniting my flame! It’s been a very challenging year for me where I had to put everything music on pause to focus on my health. At my lowest moments a new inspiring and educational interview comes from you guys and it helps me more than you know. I hope I can meet you NCB and thank you for keeping my spark ignited. Good energy and positivity to all!
Thanks, sir. We really appreciate comments like this. Means a lot to know that what we're making is connecting and having a tangiable impact.
I've had the pleasure of knowing Dante for several years. He's a gift. Well done!!!
Kept my attention for the entire 1hr40 👏. In this day and age that in itself is a testament to how engaging this Talk was. A true historian, aficionado and ambassador of Music
IDK WHAT NOBODY SAYS, LEADERS OF THE NEW SCHOOL'S 2ND ALBUM T.I.M.E. IS A CLASSIC TO ME..
It’s good, but it doesn’t stand up to their first, or to their overall potential. Classic KNOCKS, and the posse cut is mind blowing, BTW.
Thank You, finally got an explanation as to where his soulfulness and love for Black Consciousness came from. Big Fan of Dante Ross and his work!!!
You said black consciousness. A term being washed out with cheap clothing and handouts. The break down of the black family kills knowledge of self. Lack of knowledge leads to believing lies. Believing lies leads to self hate. One cant love others when they hate themselves. Reach one teach one. Can we Imagine if the mind frame back then was no whites allowed? Can we Imagine what hip hop would be if
it ( non hip hop) promoted drugs and Baby mommas and violence and racial hate back then as it does now. To me this is a prime example of when man has good intentions but relays on his own abilities and removes god. A good movement gif the people that unites all as one becomes a hood movement that glorifies the gun.
The difference in whites that get involved because they love their black brothers and sisters and liberals that infiltrate to segregate snd de-educate snd promote abortion and handouts. They couldn’t even create the same love and art today these guys are talking about. The love of money snd selfish ambition has caused even some of the greats to lead younger people astray. Peace to all real MCs and DJs that seek to elevate.
Dante’s book “Son of the City” is a great read. Highly recommend it for anyone who enjoyed this interview.
Awesome interview, Dante is a certified legend in this hiphop ish.
For the reel hedz this is trunk jewelz. True live art and culture.
Real Hip hop never ceases to teach me, elevate me snd break me further away from the hate the masses push. Since 85 I been on one. Hip hop never dies. Long as we expose the lies and promote love.
Yoooooo, this is the most awesome.
Life is what you make it!
I'm glad the sound got better at 1:09:00
Great interview!

Thank you
This was the best thing on tv tonight!
How you got me through another day stop dissing Dante Ross on record
Scrub
So, after all these years, it turns out Dante isn’t a scrub after all! Who knew!?
Very measured and intelligent. We need more centrist politicians who can follow logic and science rather than political party lines.
He kept his cussing clean enough to remove the censors lol
💎🔌🗣📢🔊🎵🎶
All I'm saying is keep it real, if your going to help people and lead them, than do that don't insult them man

DANTE IS A SCRUB
I contacted him and he agreed to hear my music and I am not just an Artist; I am a Licensed Manager and Booking Agency Owner. This guy brushes me off completely and disrespectfully at this. All that smack he talks about what he did and what he does, his demeanor completely sucks
and as well, why would you ask me to send you my Spotify Links if you had no intention of listening to it, very cold
