I'm writing because ya'll have supported me over the past few years.
1. Joie called me and asked to be on the show. He said he wanted a platform to talk. I personally didn't know Joie at all, didn't know what to expect, and assumed most of my listeners didn't as well, so I thought it would be fair to at least get dude's background story before we addressed the current events. It was all very awkward, but yeah, it was, in my mind, a perfect follow up to Dame. And what better way to send a message that my show is a platform to all execs to appear on as well as artists and such?
2. Dame wanted me to set up a debate. Joie didn't want that. At a certain point I had to decided whether I was going to have Joie on as a guest or not, because of Damon. When I thought about it, i decided to have Joie on, after all, it is MY show, not Dame's, not anyone else's.
3. I set my interview in two parts a) who is Joie and b) whats up with the "culture vulture" shyt, Chief Keef, Trinidad James, Black execs in the game, etc.
4. Joie was nervous, but he was a good dancer. And so was Dame. Both of them tapped danced. Both of them. Ya'll mad at me because Joie did the salsa but Dame did the merengue? Stop it 5.
5. My show is not for me to air Negus out, it's to give them a platform. I did that with both parties. Not all my interviews are home runs. Joie is more of a behind the scenes exec who is every guarded. I tried to get more but he played it tight. And Damon Dash is a very hard act to follow. The fukk else ya'll wanted me to do?
6. My ad dollars are extremely meager and I'm not at all tf censored. Basically, I make $ to pay for studio time. Basically, I don't get paid. The most I ever made, take home, from this show was around $54.00. #FactsOnly. Joie will never do me a favor, so I don't see the sell out angle. To this day I get pressure from wifey AND the kids as to why I stay doing this shyt for no pay. But I love the history I get to hear first hand. I'm a FAN first of most of my guests. Too many Negus too cool to call themselves fans these days. But if that gets ya'll amped to paint me the bad guy over night, ya'll can rock with that to make ya'll sleep good and make ya'll feel better about yourselves.
7. I called Dame the day b4 I dropped the episode. I have never done this with anyone else. But I respect Dame. And I knew he would have a temper tantrum if I didn't at least try. Said let's figure out a "win/win" because I didn't see why he should be upset. He wanted to stay upset and said when I drop the ep he'd expose to the world the type of cat I was. So he was on some emotional vengeful "wait til i pay you back shyt". Cool I'm a grown ass man dawg. I tried. I wished him the best and kept it moving. This shyt right here is the COMBAT JACK SHOW! Not Dames, not corporate America's, not anyone else's.
8. Ya'll Negus talk about how I should change my name but I guess ya'll aint see how I've been battling with Ebro and Hot 97 about how they dissed our culture by dissing Chuck and with they other lil corny jokes and such on social media. So yeah, call me PC Jack for giving EVERYONE on my show a fair show and giving YOU an opportunity to decide what type of cats my guests are. I woke up Friday with a text from Dame calling me a "sellout" at the same time Hot 97's morning show was insinuating I was an anti-semite. i had to laugh at the insanity of being called out on being on both sides of the spectrum. But that's the life of being "PC Jack".
9. Dallas stopped coming to the show. He's a fukking genius and I love that man as a brother. But this is the 4th time in 4 years he decided to stop coming. He's a grown ass man too, so I respect whatever moves he makes, but I gots to keep this ship here moving. Pete stayed riding. But DP and even Just Blaze will be team members of this shyt for life. Ain't no backstory to this.
10. That about it. i love this forum and stay lurking. But some of ya'll really started talking extra loose. That's cool though, thats what these Internets is for.
