I remember living in LA in the late 90's and early 2000's. Dope energy and local music at the time. One day I ran into Grouch twice.. First was on Melrose, after I had just bought his album Making Perfect Sense.. Dude was hella cool too. We kicked it in front of the Golden Apple comic store and just talked for 5 minutes. Then that night we saw him after a Freestyle Fellowship show at the El Rey.. Good times man. Those were the best years of my life. 🌴❤
This interview needs to but put in a museum. Captures periods of time that need to be heard. And I never thought I could become a bigger fan of 'The Grouch'. Thank you both for taking the time.
The Grouch is so dope. I first heard about him through Zion I. Then I got into Living Legends. Then I heard him on Cunninlyguists' projects. The guy is so ill and humble too. Much respect. Hope there's a new Legends album or EP in the works. It's been 12 years.
A humble legend He has put out so much good material I’ve passed on CDs to my 11-year-old daughter and try and teach her the words of wisdom I found in there
Thanks for rhe interview, no diss most locals only like jahwaiiaan and Bob Marley. There's a wonderful super wonderful reggae artist from the bay area named Jah sun, not shure who came out first might want to research it and make a name change, one luv aloha and mahalo.
I was introduced to the underground (bay area) music scene back in 96. I lived in Reno, NV. Shout outs to RAKOS, DJ SAURUS, OUCHO, TBOR, DJ BUDHA, DJ DOTKOM, DJ ECTO, BLUE LAMP, AREA 51, JAZ, DJ MISDOM, PERV, EMCEE, WORMZER, RENO SKATE ZOO ETC. I shot the Legends first show at Area 51 to a crowd of about 20 people. It was fucking AMAZING. Filmed Grouch performing "BANGERS" (fuck the dumb). Been a fan ever since. He was rockin a white bucket hat. Thanks to him I still to this day rock a bucket hat daily. Those guys ripped that show, they weren't affected one bit that there was only 20 people there! Legendary.
Grouch is one of the blackest white rappers i know, hes so real and down to earth, very well spoken love listening to his interviews as well as his music! (BTW no more greener grasses and crusader for justice are both my favs!)
Excellent album choices! I feel that there should be a new Legends album out by now... The Grouch has always stood out to me even on Living Legend's tracks.
Take the color out of the conversation. He is one of the greatest artists and people we have on this earth today. Beyond underrated. What does any of this have to do with him seeming BLACK?!
The Grouch & Elijah are the reason my husband and i changed our way of thinking about life. They helped us in so many ways. Ive met them a few times they are so down to earth. Im so happy for them and there success💗
One of the most humble, creative and dopest hip hop artist nobody know about. been listening since his first album when I was 15 years old. much love Grouch! Happy new year's! Still have picture with you and my older brother and you were holding a couple one dollar bills in your hand, just like a simple man.
I love the grouch’s music..but when they made a Hawaii hip hop and they said him..I was like I’m sorry..he’s not Hawaii hip hop..he’s just hip hop…and I say that because he wasn’t born and raised in Hawaii..let’s keep it real
jah son - we got a lot to talk about... th grouch - do we? jah son the entire time - yeah, ......yeah yeah.....thats whats up. jesus fucking christ. grouch already knew!!!
Im the one that actually paid the bill for that trip to Maui good ol Jimmy was totally full of shit and I knew he was going to steal my money which he did I lost over $1500 if it wasn't for me they would've made it to Maui because Jimmy didn't have any money he printed the fliers out at Kinko's on white paper and hand wrote em shit was crazy
Much resort to interview but work on expanding on the Thats what’s yo crutch. You seem awesome but it’s a bit too much and it’s an easy habit to break. We all have our go to a Sayings just expand upon them w oh that’s interesting or simply don’t say anything until interviewee is finished speaking then segue into next question
This dude is responsible for a hella amount of joy in my life. LEGEND FOR REAL!

All I can say is that the grouch, gift of gab, Eligh, pigeon John, Zion I, are “living Legends” lmao
I listen to wild 94.9 and the dog house religiously every morning..
The Grouch brings me back to my childhood!!!!!
Dope interview, much love to the whole LL crew!
