The more I see of this guy and the more I hear his side of the story the more sympathetic I feel towards him. I can see where he's coming from with his arguments and I mean shit, if it's like he says that they give away nearly 60% of the drug for free for those without insurance it seems, well, fine?
He mentioned in another interview that the only difference between his price hike and any other drug company is that all other companies do it slowly, this was just one big price hike. In the grand scheme it doesn't make a difference.
He's still a rich prick, but he's a [I]smart [/I]rich prick. And he didn't inherit like crazy, he made his way to the top on his own. So, I dunno. I can respect that, I guess.

Not only what you said, but media has done a pretty nice job painting a picture of him. Or rather, only telling things they want to tell.
I thought the best part was the real awkward and forced spot the DJ put him in with asking what he will do for the Black Lives Movement.
He is smart enough to know that group is a mess and he had to dodge like crazy on giving a answer.
He's stated in interviews before he still sells the drug at $1 to the government, he also gives the drug to anyone with proof of prescription for [I]free[/I] if they have no health insurance. He stated before he raised the price to the big pharmaceutical companies because in his words "Fuck them? Why shouldn't I". It's only corporations that really suffer these back-door price rises.
As for his personality, most rap artists have this "take no shit" persona because they usually came up through the shit from nothing. A bit like Martin here. He's not a corporate CEO who has been born into higher education and inherited some global corporation through family. He built it all himself, I can't blame him for having these egotistic traits.
I think his personality is just that of any other young guy who's made a lot of money. He's got confidence, probably feels like fire right now, making lots of money, becoming a figure in the public eye. Fuck it, seize your day? I just [I]hope [/I]he's not the monster that the media have been painting him as.

Charlemagne asks this every time someone isn't black is on.
[QUOTE=Bat-shit;49697673]That sounds like crazy talk RoboChimp. But sure, that's one possibility. That he's a being of pure evil.[/QUOTE]No too sure why it sounds like crazy talk, corporate psychopaths are a real, the world isn't as reasonable as people would like it to be. I wouldn't say 'evil', he just lacks any empathy and shares traits with serial killers. But whatever helps you sleep at night.
That guy really spends a lot of time focusing on having a smug body language at all times. But can you really blame the guy after all the crap he's been given from people? This is what happens when people get singled out, he's a cunt, sure. But there's many other cunts doing worse than he did.
The goose is just keeping himself in the spotlight

I'm sorry but I also have to ask why he sounds like Mike Tyson.
[QUOTE=Psycho9182;49698742]Does he schedule his streams or is it random.[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure actually, I found out that he was streaming from Internet Comment Ettiquette's stream's (Who coincidentally was streaming at the same time) chat.
I think the only reason I got to be one of the 3 people to webcam/voice chat with him was because the stream wasn't very populated that day.

ya if this guy had anymore golden parachutes, he'd start denting the gold market

not really, Tyson has a strong as fuck lisp and probably fucked up his speech from boxing. Charlemagne seems to have a small hard to notice lisp.
