I remember running Into Will I Am at LA Live in Downtown Los Angeles in a Bathroom. I was washing my hands and he walks in, we look at eachother in the Mirror and I said “No Way” then he replies with a “Si Guey!” In a Mexican Accent. Cracked me up and honestly a real cool dude. He took a picture with me and the baby momma when he came out. Appreciate that. Humble dude and he’s invited to ALL THE CARNE ASADAS!
This goes down as my favorite interview ever, you finally had an intellectual human on here..he was able to break down every question, with no hesitation....Love to willy
@brownskindragon Facts! He stays so humble plus smart I always try to tune in when he drops an interview because I like to see what he's going to get asked.

I'm from Panama, and I know exactly what it is about. For him to shout out the actual birthplace of what's being done in the PR right now is monumental for the cause. It's so good to her that even guys like him are indeed aware of where it started: Panama!
Good to see Will I Am on Drink Champs he actually is an innovator in this music scene as far as Hip Hop Culture. If you look up his credits he responsible for a lot of hits.
This was an Epic interview with Will-I-am. Insightful, thought provoking and revealing. I now have a better understanding and a tremendous amount of respect for Will-U-am a creative genius and innovator. Side note to N O R E, I love your energy and you're doing a great job. Work on not interrupting the guests. Too many times guests start to say something and you interrupt their process.o EFN , maybe you need to give him a look to chill. Anyway, great interview guys. Please invite him back soon. Thank you all for creating history and filling in the gaps.
That Princs/MJ/James Brown video has been online forever....never knew there was a whole story to that....makes that video that much more legendary 😂🤣😂🤣
Definitely my favorite interview of the year so far. Was never a gigantic fan, but definitely fell in love with this guy as a character after this interview.
I love and respect how he made sure to shout out El General who is an Afro-Latino from Panama. Also, dope of Nore to mention he is the godfather of Reggaeton that uses the Shaba Ranks Dem Bow riddim (beat). 🏖️🇯🇲🇵🇦🇵🇷🏖️
Being a artist and watching all these GREATS spit game is an honor, this shit be motivating me to go even harder and different on my craft til one day ima be sitting on Drink Champs telling my story. NORE and DJ EFN PEACE AND LOVE ✌🏾
