Lord Jamar stopped by VladTV to speak about his new role on the HBO’s eight-part series, “The Night Of,” which he applauded for authentically portraying how police treat families of inmates. He then added, “They want to make it an unpleasant experience so that there will be a disconnect between you and probably your family member. So that you won’t want to go there [and visit them].”

During the conversation, Lord Jamar was also asked his thoughts on KRS-One defending Afrika Bambaataa against claims that he sexually abused young boys years ago. During a recent talk, KRS-One told a crowd in England, “When you’re talking about Afrika Bambaataa, first of all, you’re talking about the person who invented hip-hop; not participated in it. There was no hip-hop before Afrika Bambaataa. Let’s start there, so anyone who has a problem with Afrika Bambaataa should quit hip-hop.”

Lord Jamar reacted to the statement by saying that he respected KRS-One, but he added that he doesn’t agree with what he said. To hear more of what Lord Jamar had to say about the situation, and pedophilia in general, hit the above clip.
