Yeah he 'gets it'. And once you got it, you get out. Or you stay in as a pet and get paid to act you like you don't get it, but your soul pays a certain price for that.
Glad to see him again. He was great in his role as Griffith in the 1996-2000 CBS TV Show show "Cosby" alongside Bill Cosby, Phylicia Rashad, and Madeline Kahn.
This gentleman is extremely articulate and seem to be in total control of his life’s trajectory. Black men like these need to be highlighted. So they can serve as a role model for our young misguided black men. But I guess this is all orchestrated. Believe me…ITS NO COINCIDENCE!!!!
You see anyone else disrespecting their women and getting promoted to do it? Quiet as it's kept? There a good few women on the payroll too. But you ain't heard that from me.
Peace. Good to see brotha Doug after a min and listen to him articulate his thoughts, insight and wisdom. Very dope interview. Thanks comedy hype and keep on keeping on brotha Doug! Fo sho.
Brilliant! 👍🏾 A lot of us are, but no one wants to be still/humble to listen to wisdom. Too busy being invested in celebrity worship and individualism.
Thank you . For such a honest interview . Sometimes I want to act but I just don’t think I wanna go through certain things . It’s easy to walk with ya eyes close when your dreams are coming true .
Terrific interview and perspective from the guest as a successful man enlightening; I enjoyed his restraint. The conversation is insightful. Enjoyed the interview!
Excellent interview. I kept wanting to pause it to return to it later it because I had other things I needed to do, but couldn't because Doug E. was just so interesting and refreshing to listen to.
Great interview! Everyone is curious about fame & the entertainment business. Doug did a great job of keeping it real, giving folks reality, & not speaking too outta school. But the intelligence or subtlety he brought to the interview was brilliant!
E a s i l y watched the entire interview. Mr. Davis, what an astoundingly REAL conversation. You revealed s o much truth throughout. Relevance and v e r y well spoken, Mr. Davis!
I love how he gave more examples of people who walked away from the industry than just Dave. I think it gives more proper context to the conversation. ❤️
Mane DOUG E.DOUG I always wondered what happened to my brother he was one of the most funny guys on TV and movies 🎥 back in the day. I haven't seen him since 8 legged freaks loved this guy.💪💯💖
Loved hanging with the home boys classic 😄😄 and wit that money you got you can buy me a egg sandwich 😂😂😂 and that's just one of many 😂😂 peace to this brother
This was money, got some jewels from the good brother, nice to see him again and hear his perspective about things. Excellent interview, and the interviewer was great as well, asked thoughtful questions and let D.E.D. respond at length in a natural and comfortable manner.
Saw the 12 min version, gotta come back for the full interview. Lots of 💎 💎 💎 💎 💎 💎 💎 💎. PEACE _ GREAT INTERVIEW 👍🏾 👌🏿 👏🏾. Nothing wrong with being normal and humble.
WOW!!! What he says about people being around being surreptitious and planning to hurt you; is so true. I've dealt with people like that. I'm glad I had those experiences because without them - I wouldn't have learned about the nature of people and been prepared for dealings in the future. It made me better. Like he said - You don't see with your eyes; you see with your mind.
Another great and powerful interview. I've always noticed how He managed to keep an untarnished reputation. And have watched his career. Gotta watch this interview twice. 🎼✨🖤
Aye yo Rita I thought you was gon play with my frog🤣😭!!! You're a classic class act in a real way thanks again Doug E...lol you're one of the best rappers ever...you rapped your showtime up on your terms with all due respect...you stand up for real literally it doesn't get any more respectful!!!
Hey comedy hype It’s a real pleasure to see one of my veteran Brooklyn hip-hop artist and actor in the interview i’m also from Brooklyn east New York work in the Albany houses in Stuyvesant i’m a few years older than Dougie you ask him a question about a sticking together and he made a good point about we have to be aware of what we do within ourselves but we have to do more than that we have to stick together we talk but we don’t do and that’s the problem if we were to stick together within our own race and do the right thing by our own Culture race we could be just as good better in big as our white brothers and sisters are so the keyword in my opinion we have to stick together to form our awareness as a Black culture Race keep it real keep it strong OS Nana B/eat
Wonderful interview. So glad to see him. We were more than just the hip hop era, we were a blueprint. The heroin to cocaine to crack to pills to opioids to everything era ruined so much.
Great interview all around Doug E was great, thoroughly enjoyable Also, the interviewer is very skilled at asking questions, and knows how to ask THE RIGHT questions, to illicit interesting responses Very talented at interviewing
Thoroughly enjoyable & intelligent interview. The fact that he can still laugh about such a wicked industry shows his resilience.. . .My only note to Hype would be have him face the window so there are no shadows.
John. This is one of your best interviews to date. The way you were able to ask the questions that mean something and Doug giving us just enough so we understand exactly what he means. Great interview John!!
near 16:06 #GenerationX certainly *did* gift the Globe #HipHop! August 11th 1973 Hip Hop is a #Leo! The Sun rules the 5th Sign. *Pluto* was in #Virgo then. Virgo's key-phrase is *I Analyze* Pluto transforms all it touches. thusly, Hip Hop Transformed *how* The World analyzes. Not to be Ignored. Yes, Doug E. Doug, luv it! I gotta get your book! Thankhs.
i remember when they did that to gary coleman, i was telling everyone that was messed up as hell he just needed to make a living. people love watching famous people fail so they can pretend that they're better than them. this was a really good interview i always really liked doug E doug, he's funny and clearly is down to earth and has his head on right.
I don’t know anything about Doug but must say, very intelligent man. This interview gave us a full inside about his career and the interviewer knew when to drop questions.
I believe him having a strong family structure with his mother and father in the household has a lot to do with his integrity and unwillingness to be exploited, they weren't rich but they also weren't poor. The industry loves these desperate brothers from broken households who are willing to do anything to come up, the same way pimps and sexual predators approach there victims. Guys like Doug won't put up with the BS because they understand that they don't have to. I always rocked with Doug E. Doug, I'm an 80's baby raised in the 90's, so I was 10 when Where I Live dropped, loved seeing more black faces on TGIF (which was my Friday night back then), and it was a good show. Class Act is one of my favorite movies and I also remember going to the movies to see Cool Runnings, we even had the VHS tape.
At every level - wether you're in the projects/in a civil-service job/making 6 figures/an entrepreneur/in Hollywood - at every level, there are temptations, snakes, fair-weather friends, traps.. Hollywood and the music industry aren't *different* in that regard; 'just' the addition of fame & big money, *fame as an addiction*, the importance of*image*, trying to sustain a lifestyle you can't afford, and more *buying liabilities rather than asserts*.
Doug E. one of the best interviewees I've seen on here. Even the scenery was giving "masterclass is in session" lol
Agreed 100000000000000%
Would like to know what he's doing now. I'll watch the full interview later this week.
I’m glad you pointed that out. Very true.
Agreed!! 👍🏾🔥💯
💯%...in fact I think this may be my fav (out of many) thus far. Keep it up!🔥🔥🔥
I am confused!;
1:49 "Having a certain amount of financial security diminishes your enthusiasm to go through Bullsh*t!" 🤣😅 I love Doug E Doug!!!
"The best acting happens behind the camera."💯
Elaborate
@@kinggodtravis He's referring to all the lies people tells behind the scenes.
@@kinggodtravis The fake love that people tend to get when they have so much fame and money
Hanging With The Homeboys is one of my favorites.

Doug is a real solid dude. He kept his integrity and left the industry on his own terms. Respect!
🎯💯✊🏿
Yeah he 'gets it'. And once you got it, you get out. Or you stay in as a pet and get paid to act you like you don't get it, but your soul pays a certain price for that.
@@kkeithf R.E.A.L. TALK
Loving your name and logo!
@@kkeithf True words indeed
Glad to see him again. He was great in his role as Griffith in the 1996-2000 CBS TV Show show "Cosby" alongside Bill Cosby, Phylicia Rashad, and Madeline Kahn.
Dang I forgot about that. He’s done quite a few roles..
Still watch that show nightly. He's a great actor and played an amazing character.
