I REALLY FELT AND UNDERSTAND WHAT YZ WAS SAYING ABOUT HIS HEARING. ALOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE NEED TO LISTEN TO YZ INTERVIEW.

THANK YOU

Thanks os much for great perosnally felt blog, i was looking up stuff from back in the day that influenced me in funny ways, i'm a punk from new zealand and lived on niue for 3 years, redhead kingpin isn't large on my list but has led me to my path in music.

Really glad to have been able to watch this. The most impressive thing about this interview was the spirit and demeanor YZ exhibited. It's amazing to see and hear the older version of rappers/singers I grew up listening to. Hip-Hop (from our era) definitely cultivated us more than corrupted us and I'm thankful for that.

This was a great piece. I truly enjoyed you expressing your story.

Thank You

D,
This was truly a plesure. I can't wait to get you behind the camera for my TV show "Coming at ya live".

God bless

YZ

OMG! This is like one of my favorite hip hop songs ever! Thank you for bringing this back from obscurity.

YZ is the truth. Dam right we need to speak up, cause these kids wont ever have a clue if we dont. D nice, Respect!

good article d-nice. thank you

Excellent feature. However, D-Nice should know that the "old-school" ended in '83. ;)

I STILL bang that "Master Plan" track. It is still relevant. It's a timeless classic! I appreciate everything that brotha YZ had to say and our younger people need to understand that their health is extremely important. I will have to come back here more oftern for the updates!

D-nice - Wonderful interview.Thank you so much!

YZ's actual myspace address is myspace.com/therealyz

Great interview D-nice...This is great especially because most hip hop artist and fans from this era are approaching their mid to late thirties...It's around this time that some things we did or didn't do in our teens and twenties can begin to affect us...We need to take care of our bodies, a good lesson for the young and the older...

i love it, man.

someone should be doing this; i'm glad you are. with finesse.

Man, this was ill thank you D-Nice, YZ has always been a personal favourite and it's good to hear his honesty and thoughts.

Keep up the dope work and leave the crumbs on the table where they belong.

Peace

Great interview- big YZ fan. I designed his compilation for Tuff City a few years ago- great music!

Wow, you took it way back with this one. I used to love his music. He's so intelligent.

That was a great interview. So sad about him losing his hearing though.

Keep up the good work D-Nice!

Tower with the power indeed. Thank you D-Nice. This is BIG what your doing and you got my support all the way. Showing this to my children like an after school special fam.
As we move...Distrakt

This is a Great Interview! It had a very Positive Message. Life is not Easy but it is definitely what you make of it. We are being tested each and everyday with challenges. Staying Focused, Positive and Strong is a daily challenge in itself. YZ definitely seems like he is a very Positive and Strong Person. Family is very important. Teaching and guiding our children is extremely important. Everything I do is for my Son and providing him with a very healthy and positive Life. Again..An Excellent and Encouraging message! The Footage was put together Very Nicely!

yo that is what im talking about D that is what it is ..congrats on this !!!!!

I definitely appreciated the sincerity in this message. Some things in life will allow you to be humble. Thanks D this was an enlighting clip.

Peace and Blessings

Great interview. Thank you for sharing this with us. YZ shows a lot of courage. Keep up the good work D-Nice.

Great piece D-Nice, keep up the GREATNESS..it's time that the real voices of truth are HEARD!

This is some solid footage of YZ. I appreciate the emotion, the message, and the whole nature of how you get down with this video hustle. I love how you use this format to tell other peoples stories. Isn't that what this life is all about? I dig it.

I think this was your best interview to date. Just the fact that YZ shared with us that he is living with a disability, but not letting his disability define him spoke volumes.

Wow....what a beautiful and powerful story/interview.. I hope this becomes some kind of documentary movie because this segment alone needs to be seen, heard, felt, everything... Incredible...

I was telling a friend about this H.O.T. site I've been reading for just about a week now and promising to pass on the URL. It just so happens that she's going deaf. This video is moving on so many levels. It's good to see so many of the people who changed the face of hip hop have continued to grow in knowledge, in love, in life.

Wonderful interview. I would love to hear more stories like this. Is this going to be apart of a larger documentary or is it apart of a web series? What ever the case. Keep it up! The vids and photagraphy are dope.
