Nardwuar is all the way back in action and dropping new SXSW videos left and right, with his latest being an interview with the always energetic Metro Boomin. During the clip, Nardwuar gifted Metro with a rare Tupac Shakur bobblehead, which prompted Metro to speak on the heavy influence that 'Pac has had on his career. "'Pac was real and he put everything into that music with the passion, creativity and the drive and I feel like it's all one in the same with myself," Metro said.

Of course, Nardwuar had to bring through some classic records from St. Louis to chop it up with Metro about, which included a rare vinyl of J-Kwon's classic song, "Tipsy." They also touched on Complex's recent interview with Ben Carson where he was asked if Metro Boomin actually trusted him, which Metro said was just a totally crazy experience. Metro also touched on his overall sound as a producer and how he believes a lot of the Atlanta sound today comes from Drumma Boy's production. If you missed it yesterday, you can watch Nardwuar's interview with DJ Khaled here, and stay tuned for more throughout the week.
