In advance of his show Saturday night at the Greek Theater, I interviewed Al Green for LA Weekly. Needless to say, I’ve experienced few things more surreal than talking to Al Green on the phone and hearing him spontaneously break into song. It was rather awesome. In addition, I wrote a shorter Wu-centric piece on Hip-Hop’s Greatest Al Green samples.
Minor programming note: I’ll be in New York all next week, so expect posting to be lighter than the content on a Mims record.
