What happened here?

first week at Hot 97 Rosenberg said something slick about Jim Jones, being from DC and not knowing Jim Jones like that, and Jim's goons was gonna pound Rosenberg out until Cipha Sounds calmed them down and smoothed shyt out. Cipha probably the only reason Rosenberg still has all his teeth, since he's cool with a lot of rappers he's able to correct things when they go left. Most times.

Also funny how Cipha Sounds did Combat Jack's podcast recently even do they beefing. I know Rosenberg has to feel a way about that

To me Rosenberg is a product of Hot 97's desperation. His behavior is similar to everyone else at that flopping station. Consider Ebro's playbook for the last few years:

1. shyt talk someone or something
2. Cause a social media argument that garners attention
3. Invite the person you dissed or dismissed onto the radio show
4. Get lots of youtube views/ad revenue

Remember when he dissed battle rap and caused people to catch feelings? What happened next: battle rap dudes showed up on the show, then all of a sudden Ebro is at a major battle rap event. It's shytty promotion based on fake controversy. They did the same thing with Azaela Banks, who then went onto the show and gave them a very popular interview.

So when I heard Rosenberg diss Chuck D my immediate thought was that it made sense from their perspective: that's their playbook. Nevermind that Chuck D is a legend, nevermind that he's a serious guy who isn't going to go onto a radio show to get clowned/disrespected like Buckshot did...they were STILL expecting Chuck D to create the type of response they typically get. Chuck D didn't bite, the community panned Hot 97, and Rosenberg was forced to apologize. But let's be real, it's not like Ebro wasn't in on the entire thing.
:stopitslime:

Rosenberg is a hip hop head, I wouldn't take that away from him. But he is also a corny motherfukker. From the TDE nut hugging to being so open to dissing Chuck D...I just get the impression he doesn't give a shyt about his credibility, he just wants short term stuff. Less than 48 hours after TPAB came out he declared it a classic. Yall know I love that album but come the fukk on. He acts like a petulant child.
:scust:

You got a link to the Cipha Podcast? Cool if not

And don't forget when Saigon tried to come up there and get at him, when Rosenberg first started.

Did he cosign ALL of Star's commentary over the years? Nope. But did Star ever throw a rock & hide his hands? Nope. He's always been accountable for his words.
You're trying extra hard in here to discredit Combat, but you just don't know enough about what you're talking about. Just have a seat.

Combat contradicted himself, A LOT.

The shyt he tried to demonize rosenberg for was just nonsense and people he co signs shows he's full of shyt "the culture isnt just about hip hop, its about respect, respecting your elders and if you disrespect people in hip hop you aint part of the culture" :lolbron:

Same niqqa slobbered off Star so heavy that ep that star was embarrassed on that ep, saying he's the reason he started the podcast etc. Star has shytted on so many legends its ridiculous.

Thats one contradiction
