The Shape of Things to Come podcast ft billy woods (2012) 

insane fucking way to start a podcast 😭😭

that introduction is wild man

Great to see Woods this personal and enthusiastic at such an early time in his career...easily one of his best interviews

those first few minutes with the interviewer were painful lmao. hoping woods makes up for it

I used to listen to this podcast on iTunes, but I think he pulled it. Glad you posted this. I want to find the interview he did with The Man From Somewhere Else as well.

Thanks for posting this man! Had no idea about this interview. Seemed more open to talk than he would later be in his interviews lol.

10:10 Skip to interview

Huge woods fan... so great to hear Public Enemy is what really got him into HipHop, as well as NWA. PE and _Do The Right Thing_ was what made me fall in love with HipHop, too. I was 7, 8 yrs old when I saw the film. NWA came right after that. Thanks for posting! PS. He's also got great taste in film, unsurprisingly... _Do The Right Thing, Clockers, Crooklyn, The Shining,_ and _Empire Of The Sun_ have all been huge movies for me since childhood, watched so many times! _Empire Of The Sun_ is still the best Spielberg. _Blue Valentine_ is great, too.

This is the best woods interview because the interview drops the pretense of asking about the music.

I literally can't tell if the intro is satire or not. If not it sounds like a confession

Thanks for this

I have sharped this many many times with lots of ppl. And Shape is a dope ass dude. He gas worked w woods a few times since this interview and he produced a amazing, grimey ass album this year. A harrowing tale of addiction.

that intro sick🤣🤣🤣

The interviewer needs serious serious help the misogyny

Interesting I was wondering where the information about his family situation came from so this is very elucidating.

"Hi. I'm billy woods. Even I don't know I just released the first installment of the most important run of rap records of the 21st Century" 10:12 for interview
