Neil deGrasse Tyson and rapper Logic discuss race 

"I was more good in English and words." -Logic, 2017

17:26 That was Logic's exact point though, He was saying do what you love to do, but you need that dose of Realism still to keep you in check so you find what really works.

if you love selling drugs, become a pharmacists or a general practitioner. checkmate neil!

I was expecting Hank Green playing rapper Logic

logic is cool as fuck i gotta start with that but he reminds me of milo from atlantis even his enthusiasm i just see milo and its fantastic much love man

Mashable just makes me think of potatoes. Then I start thinking what would other foods be like mashed. Tacos? Spaghetti?

I wonder if Logic likes Nike

The guy in the middle literally saying that being homeschooled “wasn’t as tough” doesn’t consider the struggle of mental health. He is basically saying that Logic’s story and struggles aren’t justified to be who he is. Like what the heck? You gives you that right to tell someone who they are? Not only that but they did not do their research enough to even talk about this. Smh.

Wtf is up with the audio in this episode? Mashable you need to check yor balancing. Several portions of this were imperceptable at max volume.

"Last I checked I'm the human race" - EXACTLY. I think the same thing all the time and I get baffled why so many other people struggle with that concept. We are the *human* race, nothing more, nothing less. And it is a good argument that identifying as a "race" is empowering. But, we should be able to feel empowered as individuals and as humans rather than needing to fit into a specific category just to feel "empowered".

Hey I am a fan of logic love you man and keep doing don't even pay attention to these people man love you and just do you

"Hip Hop: Peace, Unity, Love and having fun." - Tyson Truth

5:06 The link of violence and Hip-Hop comes from its birthplace, the hood. Impoverishment leads to a violent environment and since Hip-Hop is (or at least used to be) about telling your story and where you came from honestly it has to be present in the lyrics and overall in the culture. Then there's the fact that although Hip-Hop was built on unity it was also built on competitiveness, the ladder often leads to negativity or violence.

I so agree with "you can not do what you love / juxtaposed with realism". In my view: "Do what you love, if you genetics and disposition allow for it"

Disagree with Chuck at 17:30. You can if you're willing to put in whatever's necessary to get it (Logic's point). If you're tone deaf, you better be willing to sing, get lessons and work your *** off until you can sing. If you're 4'10, it's highly unlikely to be a center for LAL, but if you have a better sky hook than Wilt and you can out rebound Dwight Howard, you'd have a shot. Point is, if you want it more than you want to breathe, it's possible.

Neil can You make this longer and or Make a Podcast thanks

I love logic

17:26 I think he meant realism as in just because you believe in it doesn’t mean you will automatically get it, he is saying that you still have to work hard.

Multidimensional Rubik cube😂

Interview Bernie Sanders !!!

Do what you with realism is the best way to say it. You can do anything, but there is no guarantee that you will be the best at it. You have to do what you love so that you don't regret your life despite the results.

is it me or was the audio very quiet i had to max out my speakers, max out volume in both windows and in youtube just to hear them

"more good with english and words" mmhmmmmm

17:51 well Beethoven was deaf and he's still one of the greatest composers in the world so...

I want to watch this but the audio is just too all over the place.

I get that Chuck Nice is some what supposed to be there for some comic relieve, well that's how I view his role. However, his comments toward what Logic was saying, comes off as very ignorant and miss understood and actually rude in such a way that it becomes condescending. I feel he wanted to jump onto a comical thought he had much too quick instead of actually trying to understand what was being discussed between Tyson and Logic.. A simple example of Logic discussing his horrific hardships faced during his upbringing, and also happened to mention that he was home-schooled and Chuck Nice ignores everything and latched onto home-schooling and states that Logic just doesn't have a tough enough story, which turns out very ironic as Logic discussed his time in school where bullies would take him on for not conforming to the "tough" stigma.

Oh this is a short clip of the full interview that's on soundcloud

Middle guy is my favorite person, why are people hating?

I would watch this, but Chuck Nice

Need to get Niel deGrasse & Deadmau5 in one on one interview. Would be very interesting to see.

Ok so i have a question regarding race. Its not racist or mean or anything like that. So i was raised in a rural area with two white parents. When i was 16 i found out my biological father is black. I was raised white and all that so i didnt really say i was black cuz i didnt know and i never had to deal with issues that black people have to deal with more than white people. I am a light skinned person similar to logic so i just didnt realize my heritage or whatever. I finally meet my dad who has a black wife with kids and i felt so at home with them almost more so than the people who raised me. So im just like since i was raised the way i was(which was a good bringing up anyway) but i feel good around and can sometimes identify with my black side can i say, yeah im black or mixed or would that be wrong since i was raised white? Please dont think im racist or being bigoted

a multi-dimensional rubiks cube lololol....that part got me

There's a shirtless guy drinking a soda at 00:24 on the upper right side.

Genuine

Neil, Steve Tyson and Logic were all perfect. But Chuck Nice, in the middle, needs to go somewhere. He came across as rude and I felt he contributed very little compared to what the other men contributed.

Not teaching you a thing is teaching you everything.

Love Neil aha

logic pro, is the next logic album

who cares about race, no ones is better than someone else

9:43 Neil's face says "End my life now"

Yo, use a fucking compressor. Dynamic range is cool and all, but i have to turn it way up to hear you guys mumble and then my ears bleed when you laugh...

Thank you neildegras tyson "I am a member of the human race" but logic thing is truth but I think is more national pride if you take race out of it.

Dat's mint

Chuck's ears are upside-down

"good aye mate" lmfaoooooooooo

Just hearing Neil DeGrasse Tyson say he's been stopped by cops hurts me so badly. This guy is just such a huge public figure for education and clearly just wants to spread knowledge and inclusion. (Obviously I know there are plenty of others who've been unjustly stereotyped and stopped for no reason. I'm saying that in my own mind, it was just so ridiculous to hear because he's just such an openly/obviously nice guy. I can't imagine him getting stopped for a good reason.)

This nigga in the middle basically said. U have to be tough to rap 4:45. Bruuuhh

i have many conservative views and typically despise liberals but his nephew really has a way of talking that makes sense.

Damn I want that Nike hat.

Ngl didn't even know logic was mixed for the longest.

So that Steve Tyson is Neil Degrasse Tyson's nephew. That explains his deep knowledge on race (starting with Neil's comment at 8:34) and music. Intelligence runs in the family. REPLY

gotta love 17:30 and forward..."you cannot say do what you love and temper that with realism...", says it and then does it himself (yo tonedeaf, you cannot be a rapper)...disagreeing with someone, whilst simultaneously making the same point

Neil brings it again. I love that Neil is unimpressed with the nonsense coming from the kother two.

You can do anything, I don't agree. But. If you're trying the hardest you can, I think you still deserve respect, not nessessarly success and recognition, but genuin respect, unlike in our world where if someone isn't perfect, we have to take all his bad sides and try to kill him, that everything that isn't fucking amazing have to be fucking cringy and that if something isn't revolutionary, it's worthless. Fuck our world. Mediocre is good from time to time, you should try it.

realism and do what u love.... i wanna sing, do i ahve the voice? noooo reality check.... thats the point...

Next up: "A pediatrician and a Spanish teacher discuss the future of space travel"

logic there is no reverse racism it's just racism

I was fidgeting around a rubik's cube while watching this. But I've done exactly the opposite of Neil; I just googled instructions and learned that. :P

The middle man must never have heard logic before... the disrespect is real

for all of you catching on to Logic saying "more good," spoken language is drenched in grammatical errors. all of you, me included, are practitioners of this very natural phenomenon.

Wow Chuck, brush those issues off your shoulder and move on. Life is 2 short. :O|-

"I'M BIRACIAL"

L O G I C I S B I R A C I A L

Chuck Nice is aweful and brings nothing to this show. While seeing someone who identifies as you do racially achieve something might inspire you the flipside is you cannot be inspired to do things until you see someone that looks like you do it. In the other hand we can teach people that they don't need to be limited by their physical appearance or biology then they can be inspired by anyone or create their own path.

Dichotomy

Watch from 10:20 to 11:00 at 0.5 speed. Trust me.

I could not learn in a normal school environment. It was actually leaving public and private school settings, that allowed me to learn. I could not divide until I was actually taught to divide by a science teacher, in seventh grade. And I actually got in trouble for using her method of division even though it worked for me, because it wasn't the stupid ass method the curriculum taught. I would get the same damn answer. I'd get the correct answer. But it wasn't solved with their method, so it was considered incorrect. Something even this science teacher thought was pathetically stupid. My mother refused to teach me lattice multiplication. It's the dumbest, most useless thing. Yet it's the only way of multiplication we would learn in public school until high school. I flourished in mathematics, science, history, English, etc. once I left school and began being homeschooled. The only hard part of that is trying to find an affordable homeschool curriculum that isn't religion based. I personally refused to do a religious based curriculum because well....I actually wanted to learn fact, no offense. I went from literally getting 40's and 50's in all my classes, to absolute excelling and being driven to further my education. We don't need to rely on teachers as much as we do. Especially now with all this information right at our fingertips. To this day as an adult, I still focus heavily on my own self education. Teaching myself things. You only really need to go to school to have a certificate or diploma saying you learned the material. But there's no reason you can't find it and teach it to yourself without a teacher as well.

I think logic would make a great Barry Allen

This would have been so much better if it was just the interview and not the other bullshit talking with those two ignorant guys. I mean they talk about rap being so genuine and complain about Iggy rapping how they do where she lives but they apparently have no problem at all with 99% of the other rappers claiming they're the best and basically lying through their whole albums about what they do and what they have. Music is largely about storytelling and I get that, but no other genre of music has that many people trying to live through their lyrics as rap/hiphop does. Apart from a few who actually lived through it, most of them are just lying to themselves and their fans.

on da side doe.... some beautiful guts in this video

Bro he's not black

Your audio sucks, fix it.

he missed the point on logics home school.... bums me out.... hope u all see it

Maybe if you have wealthy parents you could travel the world. In the mean time im stuck in Canada.

I would travel BUT I don't wan to

I bet logic has seen the life more than most. im a jew that has, even rarer

Wow, I don't think I've ever heard Neil talk about race.

Kick the guy in the middle off

"I was more good at English and words" Logic, lol

The new Rubik’s “Hole”

There’s no such thing as reverse racism it’s just racism.

Not gon lie I detect mad ignorance in this interview

4:50 I actually happen to think Logic had a terrible childhood, because of the fact that he isn't projecting himself to be a tough as he should be because of his background. Like if everyone around you is using drugs, and running around with guns, it changes your persona because you're in a tough environment, so you gotta be hard. It's actually a lot harder to just be you, and able to seperate right from wrong etc.

I died laughing at the rubicks cube bit 😂

I don't fuck with the guy in the middle...

2:24 Neil's face was hilarious XD

I can't stand how the guy in the middle glazed over everything Logic said and just focused on the homeschooling thing.

These guys need to do more research before there interviews or else it just seems mediocre and unprofessional. I gave up finishing this video around 4:50 when they pretty much said Bobby's life wasn't that hard, if they listened to "Dear God" or "5 a.m" then they'd know he's been through and seen a lot of shit, it's just that he doesn't discuss it in that particular interview with Neil because it doesn't seem like the time and place to say "Oh yeah my mom almost killed me when I was 11 cause she was on drugs, not to mention witnessing his sisters getting raped in front of him and he couldn't do anything about it and a whole bunch of other shit".

racist black dude in middle why he be hatin on logic the whole time

2:23 "Now, here's the crazy thing!!!" 2:26 *Neil's face*

I'm so fucking sick of the race discussion lol

the dude in the middle is the worst

Chuck is such a hater lol

It's like they missed the entire idea of Logic. They missed his message They missed his story And most of all.. it feels like they were trying to laugh at him and belittling him.

As a European it is fucking tiresome hearing the word race in every god damn American discussion.

Quality content

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn who daaaat 8:21-8:23

17:45 Ludwig van Beethoven was deaf. Who are you to tell others to not strive for greatness, or what they love to do? Who are YOU to limit THEIR realism?

I only watched this because I wanted to see God talk to Logic 😂(Neil DeGrasse Tyson was God in scripts in album)
