Description
In Interficial ARTelligence: Moments That Met Me, Chuck D presents his encounters with some of his greatest heroes and other public figures. These seminal moments in Chuck D's life include: an editorial meeting with John F. Kennedy Jr.; presenting an award to Davie Bowie; being recruited by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay to act in a film; eating chips and guac with Quincy Jones; being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by Harry Belafonte; lobbying on Capitol Hill with Anita Baker; and musical collaborations with Prince, Sheryl Crow, Janet Jackson, Erykah Badu, and John Mellencamp. He also shares his experience of visiting Mumia Abu-Jamal in prison.
Chuck D says, 'For a person like myself - an aged distance beyond a half century of life on Earth - I have experienced a vast array of people, places, and things. The memories are always a looping swirl in my mind. I'm often asked about them and I consider myself a decent storyteller. As an illustrator, I'm able to recreate that point of view as I saw it. So Interficial ARTelligence: Moments That Met Me is a tale with images from my perspective in a time when so many people listen with their eyes.'
Chuck's beautiful illustrations and remarkable commentary also include his cross-pollinations with music industry titans like Berry Gordy and Ahmet Ertegun, musical icons such as Madonna, the Notorious B.I.G., the Rolling Stones, Gladys Knight, Smokey Robinson, Mavis Staples, Michael Stipe, Ice Cube, Patti LaBelle, Lenny Kravitz, and LL Cool J. He also reflects on his interactions with athletes Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Julius Erving, Barry Bonds, and Barry Sanders, along with entertainers and actors like Oprah Winfrey, Joan Rivers, Jeremy Piven, Dick Gregory, Robin Williams, Warren Beaty, Alec Baldwin, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx, and Spike Lee. Additionally, he touches upon political figures like Angela Davis and Jesse Jackson, among many more.
