#104: Nigel Talley

Today on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we welcome acclaimed A&R Nigel Talley to the Upper West Side! We talk about Nigel's roots in the Bronx, going to a high school straight outta "Lean on Me," finding a purpose in life after meeting Rosie Perez, finding his way into the music industry, and dropping out of college at the request of Puff Daddy, so that he could join the No Way Out tour. We discuss working with Ma$e, Shyne, Cassie, Da Band, Waka Flocka Flame, Jill Scott, Curren$y, Justine Skye and more, as well as influencing Puff's White Parties, infamous rap battles on 125th Street, Q-Tip stopping by the crib, how he earned 50 Cent's respect, what DJ Khaled's like on the phone, and much, much more!
