Affion Crockett Does Russell Simmons For Fun
by PAPERBOI PIMPEN on Mar.17, 2010, under VID E OZE
Affion Crockett has to be the hustling-est comedian in the game, so it only made sense for him to hook up with Uncle Hustle. Besides, his impersonations are dead on.
The best thing about his contribution, is that he never does anyone he can’t do… But then, as good as he is, you have to wonder who he can’t pull off?
One thing’s for sure. Russell Simmons does not happen to fall in the latter category.
From his incredible impression of Uncle Rush on VH1’s “Hip Hop Honors” tribute, to various clips you will find on his site, Crockett has no problem poking fun at hip hop royalty.
Uncle Rush & Rick Rubin Chauffeured Down Memory Lane

If by watching “Run’s House” you never got an idea of what it’s like to talk to Russell Simmons, here is yet another opportunity. Rick Rubin is there and apparently a part of this conversation/interview, but it more or less turns into a monologue when Uncle Rush is prompted to speak.
He doesn’t seem to need much of a reason to share his jewels of knowledge, just a slight nudge and THAR SHE BLOWS!!
Really though, it’s good game. He’s so matter of fact it’s hilarious and Rubin just sits there cause he knows it’s the truth. Guess that’s the life of a mogul.
They appear to be on their way to the “VH1 Hip Hop Honors,” where the night is being held to uplift the label they started. Both men are visibly happy to be celebrating such an auspicious occasion, even if LL Cool J couldn’t be there.
“LL Cool J has become an amazing person,” Simmons says in the video. “He’s also consistently been hot. He’s hot now on CSI. It’s been a lot of years. He was the first artist on Def Jam and he can’t be here right now because of how hot he is right now. And it’s a real thing.
