Living Legends Presents Rap Pioneers
The latest installment of YouTube's Living Legends series is a double dose, featuring two of the greatest rappers of all time. These reigning members of hip-hop royalty represent both East and West coast styles and are two very different voices in the genre's past, present and future. So, get ready for Public Enemy guiding force Chuck D. and the one and only Cardozar Calvin Broadus Jr., better known to the world as Snoop Dogg. They're eager for your questions:
You'll be in good company as you quiz Chuck and Snoop: we've already got videos from a veritable posse of hip-hoppers and other notables who took time out to share their thoughts on how these two influenced their lives in music or politics. The Living Legends channel contains moving testimonials from Black Thought of the Roots, Afrika Bambaataa, Boots Riley from the Coup, as well as political activists like Fred Hampton Jr. and congresswoman Maxine Waters from L.A. There are also insider tales from David Aaron, Snoop's engineer, and Darryl Brooks, a concert promoter who booked Public Enemy on their very first tour. Take a peek:
So, at long last, it's time to "Bring the Noise" AND "Drop It Like It's Hot" – all in the same spot. Upload your question(s) for Chuck and Snoop here and/or share your own inspirational story about how these two (or hip-hop in general) touched your life by uploading a video response to the testimonial you like most.
Holla!

not really interested in rap music, so I don;t know what these pioneers would say
I'll stick to my techno...
Should've gotten KRS-One to talk. He was there for most of it.
I've requested this issue be resolved and I've offered to communicate with the devs but no one has sent me any message about this issue which continues to be a problem, with the new playlist configuration. Today, I see I am unable to return to using the old Playlist setup, and now I am forced to use the new system which does NOT allow me to move any of my videos within Favorites to my Playlists. YouTube is broken for me and useless if I cannot move my Favorites to my Playlists! For the third time, this is what happens: I navigate to my channel's Favorites, I select a video within Favorites, and click Add to Playlist, a small window comes up under Add to and it shows the message: Add the selected videos to: Playlist(s), with a Loading Playlists... message and a swirling dotted circle to the left of the message which continues to swirl and does not load my Playlist, I'm unable to move any videos from my Favorites area to my Playlists areas because my Playlists won't load under this submenu! I can navigate through my playlists if I select Playlists, but any attempt to move videos from my Favorites section to my Playlists sections fails because it is stuck at the Loading Playlists... animation which never sees completion. Please have someone contact me so I may work with the devs to resolve this. If I am unable to move videos from my Favorites to my Playlists, what is the point of continuing to use YouTube? Please contact me and let's work this out, otherwise I'll have to post this message every day I'm on here when I cannot use my account as I did before. Please, let's get this issue resolved!
youtube, bring back "videos being watched right now" on the homepage to registered users!
I really enjoy youtube, it's one of my favorite sites on the internet because of innovations like this.

How has Hip Hop/ Rap touched someone's life.....
Soul music or R&B or Pop or Gospel or Country even Rock may have that effect, but there is little inspirational about Hip Hop/ Rap.....
Although there are a few inspirational hits - it certainly is not the most positive music out there. In some cases Rap music seems to be just the opposite.....It is not uncommon to see teens 'rapping'loudly to themselves in their own world while walking the streets or driving - with angry looks on their faces.......
Hopefully, oneday the world will go back to positive music using real musicians -that isn't sampled
I really enjoy youtube, it's one of my favorite sites on the internet because of innovations like this. Going forward however I wont' be able to watch as much youtube as I'd like due to bandwidth restrictions imposed by my ISP here in Canada, Rogers Cable. 60gbs a month.. 4 computers in the household = no more youtube unless there are special occassions.
