Listened to that whole interview and Ebro broke that whole shyt down like :lawd:...he pretty much told told the truth....

The realist quote in that whole interview is
"Hip-hop turns there back on their stars when they are no longer struggling"

That quote reflects this website and twitter to a tee..especially when he said that even through rappers like Hov, Diddy, Nicki, and other NYC artist have successful records the NYC rap scene doesn't recognize them with that "Oh they don't count :shaq2:" bullshyt..

Or when their favorite artist who was once underground make it to the mainstream and then when they sign to a label, them hipsters call them "sell outs"....

I mean seriously..ask Drake, ask J. Cole, ask Wiz, ask K. Dot...as SOON as they became very successful and get playing time on the radio they call them "wack"...:smh:

That's probably the reason why alot of nikkas won't fukking with WTT because they wanted Hov and Ye to rap about that struggle life and pretend that they aren't millionaires...:smh:

The game is fukked up..and the fans are one of the reasons..

And the funny thing about it is..B. Dot, the dude from Rap Radar, was the one that called out Hot 97 on this topic when his website follows the same shyt that Ebro was talking about...

Them mainstream nikkas that site stays posting is alot of the reason why that site keeps running...and i remember Elliott Wilson said once "We ain't here to make stars.."

I'm just saying..B. Dot needs to practice what he preaches...

he spoke the truth on rap fans but he pretty much stated the runnings of a business that every hip-hop fan should know by now. i know the real technical stuff since i studied media in college so i wouldnt expect ya to know the intricacies of it but ya can not be surprised of how a business works.

on the payola he lying he knows it and his explanation of the shyt is vague. good interview nonetheless.

Hot 97 is way bigger than rapradar. Like B. DOT said you have to be a hip hop junkie to go to rapradar

This dude is a clown

he says "I like to give back"

Hip hop comes from and is the voice of the struggle...It's an anti establishment culture...That doesn't mean you have to stay at the bottom...But people that turn their back to the struggle and ignore it deserved to get shytted on....

fukk them Republican rappers and fakkits like Ebro who want to justify glorifying and enabling them....

Oh . . you must oh been impressed by those little number scenarios he was talking about :beli:

No i ain't impressed by none of that...dude was speaking FACTS....it's the business homie...it's just the way it is...

So hip-hop is suppose to be about the "struggle"...not about being successful?...or a combination of rising from the struggle to achieve success?

U can get the fukk on out of here with that...
