CJ doesn't have much of a personality only thing he had going for him was the guests he got, same thing with Peter Rosenberg/Cipha sounds shyt, and Taxstone might be more entertaining but he is corny and over the top with the street stuff. If Charlamagne had any sense he would dump the annoying white guy and launch his own juan epstein/combat jack type serious hiphop history shyt mixed with the Taxstone fukkery and he would make them all irrelevant. Plus Charlamagne is from down south and partial to southern artists so he could also diversify the hiphop podcast game and bring in another audience.
atThat's not a bad shout
CJ a great interviewer tho, I gots to give him that, gets life stories out of these cats, mediates the pace of conversation well
Tax has some of the worst off days I've ever heard in the podcast world tho, big body and mendeecees eps were a mess
I like CJ but yeah if he had a guest I don't care about I won't listen, or if I do, it'll be when I have nothing else to do weeks later. Tax could literally have anybody on and Ima listen just because he's just an entertaining character.In the last couple months
Tax season > Combat Jack
With Combat, I'll only listen if a good guest is on.
Taxseason however, i listen regardless. Taxstone is an interesting person, and most importantly, entertaining. Which CJ isn't.![]()
What??? Big Body Bes was arguable the best podcast of the year

but it's also because we're been listening to combat for 5 years and the podcast game is getting more competitive Nore andBuddens are my favourite podcast nowI like CJ but yeah if he had a guest I don't care about I won't listen, or if I do, it'll be when I have nothing else to do weeks later.

With that said Combat is number 10 in all music podcast on iTunes. He's still doing great.
True used to be just him and Juan Ep now I consistently listen to about 10 different podcastbut it's also because we're been listening to combat for 5 years and the podcast game is getting more competitive Nore andBuddens are my favourite podcast now
