It’s you who are wrong, I’m afraid. It’s already been established that it’s from a question sent to Chuck from a fan in the late 90’s. A link has been posted in this very thread. What hasn’t been posted, however, is sources for any of your claims regarding Morrissey and rap music/rappers. You speak with the cringeworthy authority of a sixth form student with too much confidence, yet you provide zero evidence to back it up. Provide evidence that Prince, De La Soul, ATCQ and Snoop Dogg likes/liked him and Ice Cube doesn’t, and that some regard him as a “mamas boy”. Also feel free to elaborate on how and why you have such insight into the African-American community.
Im not an expert on Chuck D, though I was bang into them from late 80s onward and seen them live a load of times.
So, all I can go by is what I hard chuck say. It was something like he was touring the UK and kept seeing the promo posters for Louder Than Bombs.
NOW there is a chance Chuck himself misremembered. Even, if he did it probably made an impression even for him to misremember
(and that was the point really "do these people know about m" kinda thing)
I know some people who were around those bands and they said they were aware of M and liked him or at least respected his "game" . Lets not get carried away though, im not saying they had M tats and went to shitty M disco's
You have to remember lots of the bands like Tribe and De La went to collage, and M was a huge collage radio star
As for snoop, someone asked him about M on some show and he said he was "chill"
When they asked Ice , he pulled a face.
Im sorry I do not have enough time to spare to go searching for a 4 minute clip on YouTube- you can believe me or not believe me. Why you would think I am making it up, is beyond me.
I don't think I come over as a BS merchant.
Lastly,
"Also feel free to elaborate on how and why you have such insight into the African-American community."
I know enough to know, that not all black people in the USA are from Africa, so the term African American as a "catch all term" for blacks, is just daft
(but if you must know, Im a widely travelled brit. I have mixed with black community in various parts of America, parts of The South - not everyone spends their life in the same town they were born in or thinks London is the be all and end all )
