Ebro Saving Hot 97 In The Morning Appreciation Thread

[Soundbwoy]

ebro is always dropping gems on the up and coming artist there was an interview with migos and the dude without dreads legit went

Combact Jack and Ebro have been the best interviewers this past year.

 

[Turbulent]

I think it's alright but he makes the show about him too much, now they might not have very interesting guests..
But if someone is there who I'm interested in, I don't wanna hear what the fukk Ebro and this guy was doing on twitter, what Ebro's take on the situation is, his advice to artists, how early Ebro was listening to that artist, how much Rosenberg promotes this artist, what they were doing the last time they were at the same club and on.. And it's not classic stories, industry insider info etc, it's just random shyt that he has on his heart (but Rosenberg is 10x that).

I think he's alright, but god damn the man loves himself too much. No one gives a fukk about what he has to say, we listen to the thing for the guests not his fukking opinions. When he sticks to the script , when he takes over interviews .


He's still new though, still learning and has already passed Cypha and Rosenberg.

this! and i actually think ebro got potential too. ebro's col but he just tries a little too hard to kick knowledge sometimes.

rosenberg i don't feel him cause he comes off too much feminine and groupie-ish.

i actually like ciph cause at least from what i heard so far he seems pretty real.

laura im neutral.

ebro knows what hes talking about on a lot of the inside info because of all the relationship he built throughout the years...thats why his interviews are better

charlamane is just a b-level coli poster

whose the PD now for hot 97?

 

[FreshAIG]

Ebro gives incredible interviews

 

[The Mad Titan]

For a min Ebro seems like he was trying to be a mini CTG, but he seems back on track now. If I actually want information Ebro over the breakfast club. Breakfast club is all jokes and trolling.

 

[S.W.A.G.]

Ebro is obviously an intelligent guy, to run a radio station for many years, he has evidently developed a strong understanding of the radio business, music business and obviously has a passion for the culture. He is growing into his role more and more I see and with the Azealia Banks interview will see the power his interviews can have. He also always challenges the up and comers to make sure they are doing this for the right reasons, just as Sway does.

Sway is also underrated. Combat Jack is another highly intelligent, knowledgable guy. LL Cool J and Ice T interviews are classic..

If these guys can continue to raise intelligent discussions which go viral and do numbers (like the Azealia Banks interview which did over 1 million views in a few days), then they can impact the culture with noteworthy dialogue.

I will admit, I thought The Breakfast Club had them down and out in 2013, but they came back with a vengeance with great interviews and it seemed like Ebro really defended the culture so

 

[Icantspell]

hot97 > that other station

 

[Love Sosa]

fukk Ebro. He fronts like he "grills" people but he has shytty conversations and isn't funny. All his opinions generic as shyt. I respect Charlamagne for having common sense

 

[YaBoy]

Ebro sounds like a cranky old man way too often. He's quick to shyt on an artist he doesn't feel is "hip-hop" & that shyt is annoying. Way too judgmental sometimes, I'll just be listening sometimes thinking "Damn, let that nikka live his life & make his music "

 

[Zach Lowe]

Combat Jack shyt is way too long.. like who is gonna sit there and listen to a 3 hour interview?

coli losers

 

[Drew Wonder]

these dudes hate Ebro for some weird reason so expect hate, lol. i agree 100% though, ebro the best interviewer in hip hop to me. ebro alone >>>>>> breakfast club. being honest, charlamagne is the only bright spot on that show and that's not because of his interviewing, it's because he's fake reckless and a troll, angela and envy are pretty much pointless, replace them with the janitor and the intern in the studio and you got the same show. ebro talks to 50 cent and Maino the same way he talks to Young Berg and K Michelle, he doesn't change his approach if the person is official, because he was the boss over there for so long he knows these people personally, there's no intimidation factor.

As one of those haters you mentioned I admit Ebro has grown on me in the past few months. Charlamagne is funnier but Ebro is much more intelligent. This is the interview that changed my opinion on Ebro, Breakfast Club couldn't have pulled this one off

 

[Colilluminati]

I fukks with Ebro but he ain't doing shyt really.

 

[Hood Critic]

I didn't f*ck with Ebro at first but he's grown on me, him and Sway are definitely doing the best interviews these days.
