If he started talking about Biggiem, that would've been a bit odd, or if he talked Jay-z with Pete Rock etc. I don't know if you listen to the podcast regularly but the dope thing about it is that they go very deep on every hiphop related matter with their guests.
To be fair Combat did talk to Pete Rock about Jay Z, but they practically all do. I find that Jay comes up a lot in conversations whether its Combat, Juan Ep or Rap Genius.
