And part 2:

Ready? Okay.

Now, I originally assumed that this was just a publicity stunt for Nancy to promote her new mixtape, but it seems like she actually believes that Marijuana is contributing to the fall of western civilization and that 2 Chainz is directly responsible for this. From the very beginning she is shrill and hostile. I can only assume Mr. Chainz finished off a dutch before the taping, because there is no other way anyone could be so calm in the face of that voice.

Though out the interview though 2 Chainz responds to Grace’s attacks with calm, well measured answers, while at the same time wearing a sweater that I strongly suspect he borrowed from my grandmother. Grace, however, seems to develop ADHD midway through the video, interrupting her guest, jumping around between topics, interrupting her guest to repeatedly make him watch videos of children smoking weed, and just generally getting angry.

Overall, I have to give credit to Chainz. He stepped out of his element by going on this show and I think that just about anyone will agree that not only did he come out ahead in the debate, but he proved himself more intelligent than a lot of people give him credit for.

I’m awarding 2 Chainz 15 points for his excellent performance in the debate and another 10 for getting Nancy Grace to say “Smokin California weed, with California hos”

Tru.

The first thing I want to point out here is that The Artist Formerly Known As Tity Boi knows his rights. Props to him for that, because you need to know your rights when you’ve got weed, pills, scales, a couple pistols, and a shotgun on you. Which, it turns out, he did.

The second thing worth mentioning here is that Mr. [Comme de Garcon, Mr. Alexander Wang, Mr.] Chainz could’ve easily had one of his crew claim responsibility and take one for the team right off the bat. Instead he stood by his people and fought the law until they literally dragged him away. With a tow truck. That’s loyalty and for that, more than anything else, I’m giving Chainz +100 street cred.
