Summary

In this week's episode of A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, Sinbad joins us in the studio for a wide-ranging interview on how wack Donald Trump and Celebrity Apprentice are, how much Karl Kani and Cross Colours he has in his closet, and how exactly he'd win Survivor. We discussed his Uber experiences, how he successfully blackmailed his employer, a cable company in Wichita, Kansas, and his experiences with hosting SNL, appearing on Letterman, Conan, Arsenio, and the harsh words he had for Johnny Carson's talent booker. Oh! And stories about Eric B and Rakim, Mitch Blood Green, Will Smith, NWA, Public Enemy, DJ Quik, Suge Knight, Tupac, Biggie, Naughty By Nature, Queen Latifah, Martin Lawrence and much more!
