A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal is a hip-hop comedy interview series hosted by brothers Eric and Jeff Rosenthal, better known as ItsTheReal. The show is produced by Fullscreen, a streaming platform that focuses on original and unique content. The premise of the show is quite simple - every episode, Eric and Jeff invite a guest from the world of hip-hop to sit down and talk with them about their experiences in the industry, their personal lives, and their thoughts on various cultural topics. However, what sets A Waste of Time apart from other interview shows is the irreverent and lighthearted tone that the hosts bring to their discussions.

Eric and Jeff are comedians first and foremost, and they approach each episode with a refreshing sense of humor that puts their guests at ease and allows them to open up in ways they might not on other shows. They're not afraid to ask tough questions or explore sensitive topics, but they do so in a way that remains respectful and engaging.

The guests on A Waste of Time span the spectrum of hip-hop personalities, from rappers to producers to executives. Each episode is unique, but all share a sense of fun and spontaneity that keeps the conversation moving along at an enjoyable pace. Eric and Jeff have a talent for knowing when to steer the conversation back on track and when to let it wander where it may.

The set of the show is minimal - just a few chairs and a mic stand - which keeps the focus squarely on the conversation between the hosts and their guests. The editing is clean and unobtrusive, and Fullscreen's production values give the show a professional and polished look.

Another element that sets A Waste of Time apart is the live music performances that are included in each episode. Hip-hop artists frequently perform one or two songs during the course of their interview, and the energy they bring to these performances is infectious.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of A Waste of Time is the sheer quantity of episodes that Eric and Jeff have released. As of this writing, there are over 200 episodes available to stream on Fullscreen, making it one of the most extensive archives of hip-hop interviews available anywhere.

This longevity is a testament to the quality of the show and the charisma of its hosts. Eric and Jeff clearly have a deep passion for hip-hop culture and the people who make it, and they treat each of their guests with genuine interest and respect.

If there are any downsides to A Waste of Time, it's that the show's humor and irreverence might not be to everyone's taste. Some viewers might find that Eric and Jeff's jokes distract from the actual content of the interviews, or that their lack of seriousness undermines the importance of the topics being discussed.

However, for fans of both hip-hop and comedy, A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal is an essential watch. The hosts have created a warm and inviting space for a diverse array of artists to share their stories and perspectives, and their commitment to the show is evident in every episode. Whether you're a die-hard hip-hop fan or just looking for something fun and engaging to watch, A Waste of Time is well worth your time.
