I am Mats Nileskär, hiphop and soul journalist, host of Swedish radio program P3 Soul. My 2Pac interview inspired "To Pimp A Butterfly". Ask me anything.

Posted: 04 Jun 2019 06:38 AM PDT

I am hiphop and soul journalist Mats Nileskär. Spacerider and time traveler in the name of hiphop and politics. Or as Jay Z said, the dopest music journalist ever.

For over 40 years I've been interviewing both legendary and up-and-coming soul and hiphop artists around the globe for Swedish national radio channel P3. Started in 1978 and originally called 'Soul Corner', my program 'P3 Soul' airs every Sunday night.

Interviewed artists include Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Sly Stone, Whitney Houston, 2Pac (the interview was later featured on Kendrick Lamar's "To Pimp a Butterfly"), Beyoncé, Jay Z, Kanye West, Nas, Patti LaBelle, D'Angelo, Michael Jackson, Curtis Mayfield, Timbaland, Quincy Jones, Mobb Deep, Pharrell Williams, Stevie Wonder, Aaliyah, Ray Charles, Isaac Hayes, Lil Wayne, Young Thug, Young Jeezy, Barry White, Smokey Robinson, Bill Withers, Lauryn Hill, J Dilla, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Wu-Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes, Ice Cube, The Roots, Denzel Curry, Future, Mick Jenkins, Joey Bada$$, Vince Staples, OutKast, Common and thousands more.

As a helping hand, my digital editor Oskar will be sitting here with me.

Ask me anything.

EDIT: Questions will be answered from circa 14:30 GMT.

EDIT 2: Unfortunately, time's up. Thank you for all your questions and compliments, it's been very fun. Until next time, peace

[FRESH] Bas - Fried Rice (feat. JID)

Apparently the Mac Miller documentary has been delayed per request of Mac's family

Posted: 04 Jun 2019 09:54 AM PDT

From @FortyFPS in a series of tweets

https://twitter.com/fortyfps/status/1135939445969043456 UPDATE:

We tweeted our intentions to begin developing a doc on Mac over the next year. At the same time, we reached out to all those closest to him to begin the process of making it official.

https://twitter.com/fortyfps/status/1135939447084769281 We heard back from @christianclancy & The Estate who said the family has requested we hold off on the project at this time.

We immediately *complied as the last thing we'd want is to negatively impact anyone involved, quite the opposite.

https://twitter.com/fortyfps/status/1135939448779288576 We felt comfortable announcing our intentions in advance of receiving permission because they were just that - intentions.

The concept was peers telling their one favorite Mac story & cutting them together as a motivational & positive picture.

Not a life story.

https://twitter.com/fortyfps/status/1135939449899180033 The outpouring of support for the doc and that it was us trying to make one was humbling, and in time perhaps we will get to see it through.

For now, we have hours of incredible music and thats always been more than enough.

Respect/Love....

ripmac

EDIT: fixed a typo they made *(compiled -> complied)
