Russell Simmons Interview at The Breakfast Club Power 105.1 (01/13/2016) 

I ain't lying I wish I had a mentor like him now.

Great interview...I became a vegetarian after working at a dialysis clinic. Some were there due to conditions beyond their control and others could have simply made healthier food choices to reverse their conditions and chose not to. It just made me hyper aware of my health and what I put into my body.This food is killing us slowly and especially black people. It's worst than a crack addiction. I am a living example that you don't need meat to live and you won't look like a heroin addict. Even if you don't want to give up meat, cut back. Make meat a luxury. Your body and your pockets will thank you.

We as black people need this Uncle Rush! Thank you!!

Everyone needs someone like him in their lives. 😊

Damn, he is living proof...Russ is 60 years old, looks 45.

I gave up meat on the regular about 2 years ago, I still eat it once a week for variety in my diet but I'm not eating it daily. Meat is expensive as hell now, I cut my grocery bill in half by just learning to cook more varied vegetables. I also lost about 50 lbs from cutting it out. I even grow my own food in my backyard and my neighbors look at me crazy but at the end of the season, I'm bringing in months worth of food while they working their nuts off to pay for that $15 steak. I don't preach though, if you love those burgers then get it. It's your life.

I love Russell Simmons...I can't wait til the day I meet him. He's my inspiration and he's helping me educate myself on becoming a Vegan and its so true what He's saying. Such a real man! I've been thinking of becoming one in the last 6months! #FinallyDoingIt! Much Love Russell Simmons!

I love interviews that keep it down to earth, it's like watching ya family have fun with conversation.

Good for him for going against adversity in order to create a positive change within his community.

*...truth is this man's message, mission, and ministry has a consistent effect on me...* whether it's 1985 or 2015...

Im approaching my 4 year VEGAN-versary in February!!!YEAH BUDDY!!!!! I'm so proud of myself for committing to health!

One of the best interviews! Being a health coach and inspiring others to live a healthier longer fulfilling life is what is about!

If you any of you guys want more info. Watch "Earthlings", "Food inc.", or "Forks over Knives"

He almost said "ass cancer" 😂😂😂

10:47 "Put your lips on the mic" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 LOL he always be sneak with that shit LOL

I tried Beyond Meat chicken strips thanks to this interview and I'm highly optimistic of weaning myself and my daughter off of meat. It was so good!

A very smart man. Much respect to Russel

Vegan here. MANY THANKS to Russell Simmons for taking that lifestyle. I chose the same over 8 years ago. I did it because I'm an extreme animal lover. I saw some videos that were gross, like the cruelty in the beef industry. It made me sick enough to look up a few recipes on the Internet and follow the vegan lifestyle, as well. I knew that Russell was vegan at that time. He is an inspiration to all people, especially to vegans. And get this: I lost a lot of weight in a very short time without exercising! In fact, loosing the weight made me energetic. I used to be a couch potato but for the past 8 years, I've been an EverReady batterie. As a teen, I had a broken leg and suffered from and was treated for arthritis for many years, but I can now hop around the track on my bad leg and have NO sign of the disease. Anyhow, I could go on and on, but I just have to say that this interview was VERY MEANINGFUL and it would be so cool if you could find some recipes and vegan restaurants and take control of your health while ridding the world of cruelty, by GOING VEGAN. Thanks, again, Russell! Much love!!!

Lmao....when that condom fell out, I lost it

this is the interview that changed my life. Great book!

Russel is on point!

In Nigeria the cows, goats and sheep we eat are feed grass and they walk thousands on kilometers to get grass so they are lean and sweet.

Russell Simmons is such an inspiration

How can you dislike a video with Russell Simmons in it?

Russell is holding back with the Dej Jam questions

Bump what his girl looks like, his lisp, or what's in your Tupperware for lunch....can we acknowledge the fact that Russel Simmons is freaking 60 years old and looks amazing !!!!...he dropped so much knowledge...we gotta take better care of ourselves and make our health a priority..

Dope interview

Watching this interview since he's been served in Bali...This all sounds different now

Russell Simmons really inspired me to eat more healthier and my son to do the same. I was already thinking about it, but now I am convinced I need to make some changes. I'm not gon lie tho I don't think I'm about that vegan life yet. But I am eliminating pork and beef out of our diet for now and working our way to no meats eventually. #RomeWasntBuiltInaDay lol

Russell Simmons for President 🤔

Finally Yee asking good questions and not talking about sex/relationships

Vegan ftw! Love Russell!
