Summary: Stand-up comedian Hannibal Buress got his start as a writer for Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock, and he's just signed a new deal with Comedy Central, and his new web series for Fuse, called Talking To Strangers, which will premiere in late July. We hear a sneak preview of his first episode, which features Questlove, of The Roots. In his stand-up Buress frequently explores the intersections between music and comedy. He also takes on rappers like Odd Future and Young Jeezy. In this routine, he says, “I feel like rap affects how I talk with people too much.” Rap has also taught him aspects of performance and engaging with a crowd. Lately, Buress has been doing a little hip hop performance himself. "There's something about rap," Buress says, "You can feel the energy and see their flow. This person's good. I don't know what they're saying -- but they're still good. But with comedy you have to know what the person is saying for them to be good. With rap, it's energy, flow, even if you can't hear the words." Here's his take on it all, with "Gibberish Rap."
