“The city that silences a critic will injure itself as much as it injures the critic, for the gadfly’s task is to stir into life the massive beast of the city, to “rouse each and every one of you, to persuade and reproach you all day long.” (#PLATO, Five Dialogues, Hackett, 23 2d Ed., Trans.

“Zuma Dogg, not only one of the most recognizable figures at City Hall, cordially greeted by passersby, including security guards and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, he also has the ear of high-level insiders, who feed him information in the hope that he’ll expose, and possibly stop, one questionable government project or another.” – LA Weekly

“Zuma Dogg fought the oppressive, tightly controlled L.A. City Council meetings presided over by Council President Eric Garcetti, who had banned video cameras. After police tried to stop Zuma Dogg from taping the council deliberations, he railed against the big shots for months, slamming Garcetti as “Garshady” on his show and on his whistleblower blog. “Whatever happened to free speech in this country?,” Zuma Dogg asked. He prevailed against Garcetti’s rules, and now brings his cameracorder to every council meeting, as can any member of the public thanks to him.” – LA Weekly.

UNSOLICITED EMAIL COMMENTS FROM REAL PEOPLE WHO CAUGHT “ZUMA DOGG” DURING AN L.A. CABLE TV CHANNEL SURF: (Hollywood, try as they might…)
You’re a genius! When can we catch more shows? Do you have any of your old shows available?honestly, you may have been the funniest person i’ve ever see. I was laughing so hard I
woke up my girlfriend.If i owned a big TV company your show would be on 24/7!! I have never laughed so hard for so long, it’s awesome.
Can’t wait for the next one, me and my friends will be talkin about it for a week! lol… was not at all prepared for the brilliance of your show.
In all honesty I was absolutely blown away. It was the most fresh, funniest, innovative thing that I’ve seen on television in the past five years.
How can I get a copy of tonight’s episode? It was the funniest thing I’ve seen in years. Thank you.
I hope you know you have the best show in the history of the planet!
I was wondering if I could maybe get your Autograph…It would mean alot…I know a ton of kids at my skool that love your show too….They are always talking in your voice and going crazy..
you have the best show ever, you are the best white rapper in the world!!!
It was so beautiful that I had tears in my eyes. Let’s just say I was moved.
I think your show displays a VERY intelligent and socially conscience realistic view of the world and you do it in a very original and very artistic way.
NOBODY HAS DONE WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Keep it up.
i love your show. it is the most excellent thing in all of televisionland.
My name is Lauren and let me begin by saying you are one of the finest displays of unconventional genius I’ve seen in a long time.
We just wanted to write to let you know how spectacular we thought your show was.
i was just wondering, if there’s anyway i can buy your shows on video or something.
my boyfriend and i just stumbled upon you singing saturday night fever tunes – and we can’t stop laughing – thanks…
I caught your last episode. Let me tell you that it was a Classic. The part about Elton John had me laughing all night.
Do you sell your music or dvds of your show? If not, you should. Your latest song is good as hell.
saw your show the other night and let me say,it was some of the funniest shit i’ve seen on tv in a long time,keep up the good work.
My girlfriend and i caught your show for the first time 3 weeks ago. I recorded it and show it around to friends. It is so g-damn funny. I keep waiting to see you somewhere.
Just to let you know, I dig what you do, you are a funny and talented person. It took me a couple shows to get it but now I got it so keep it up, look forward to the new shows.
Mr. Dogg is architect/creator of E! Entertainment Television (as executed by Time Warner Inc/Bob Pittman); and is inventor/creator of the reality TV format (hand held/street cam show. Think about that!) Also, radio legend, who told Emmis Broadcasting, that they should take their losing station, and go ALL HIP HOP. The station is now, “POWER 106.” Grammy/Academy Award Winner, Seal, flew from England, to thank me. personally, for giving him his U.S. break, that resulted in his getting signed to Warner Bros. Rest=history. When Run-DMC/JMJ came to my hometown, on “King of Rock,” tour, in 80’s, I was ONLY person allowed backstage, with Run-DMC/JMJ. Just the four of us, in the room. When I took a trip, to NYC, Clive Davis let me spend the weekend in Whitney Houston’s condo, cause she was out of town, and Mr. Davis didn’t want me to waste money on a hotel. (Nice guy!) One time, Eazy-E showed up at my door, and asked to meet me. I let him. 😉 Rolling Stones let me hang out, backstage with them; and I got to play pool with Keith. (Didn’t understand a word he said.) DON’T ASK why Tina Turner sat in the seat next to me, for dinner, at her own party, when she came to town. Gene & Paul (KISS) also sat next to me, for dinner, at their own party. Jamie Foxx rolled up, on me, and pulled out his camera and did a selfie video with me and his kids. Stone Temple Pilots called me, for Zuma Dogg videos, for their tour bus (and shouted me out, from stage, once). Adam Sandler wore a Zuma Dogg shirt in Holiday video, for U.S. Troops. I should write a book.
ZUMA DOGG: As seen on every L.A. TV station (KNBC, KABC, KCBS, FOX, KCAL, PBS); as heard and discussed on every L.A. talk radio station (KABC, KFI, KRLA, KTLK) — literally hundreds and hundreds of times as political commentator/reporter/investigator/media personality; full page article in Los Angeles Times (unprecedented)/quoted numerous times in L.A.
