Watch Nardwuar Talk to DRAM About Loving Music and Hugging Beyoncé

You will never be sad again after watching this interview.

Given DRAM's eternally joyous demeanour, it would make sense that his interview with fellow bundle of energy Nardwuar would be a delight. Spoilers: it was indeed a romp, with Nardwuar gifting DRAM a vinyl copy of DeBarge's classic 1983 album In a Special Way right off the bat ("DeBarge is a big influence on what [I] do," days DRAM).

The two nerds spend a while talking about the greatness of DRAM's fellow Virginians Chad Hugo of the Neptunes ("he's very very avant-garde with everything he does") and Clipse. Nardwuar also eagerly presses DRAM about the time he touched huge DRAM fan Beyoncé ("It was a hug!"). There is much discussion of deep Virginia rap references and a message of positivity from DRAM at the end. It's a lovely time for all involved and you can watch it above.

Phil also advocates the beauty of both DeBarge and 'Hell Hath No Fury.' He's on Twitter.
