Broadcast the day after Biggies funeral in March 1997, wind-up DJ Howard Stern raises the blood pressure, cos thats his antagonistic schtick, and this on-air panel, craeted to discuss the so-called beef between left and right coasts may make the blood boil, but if you can briefly overlook the ignorance of the man, it is an interesting snap-shot of the period, and a stark reminder of the manufactured East vs West hostility. Its also proof positive that Rappers and Rap fans werent paying any attention to it. It also reminds us that a truly hostile media were all up in Raps ass a long long time ago.
Studio Guests in order of appearance:
The guests in the studio were an odd mix of left and right coast, park jam pioneers and Full Force associates amongst others: Grand Master Caz, a typically erudite and collected Chubb Rock, Kool Herc, the Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E, female Rap pioneer Pebblee-Poo, one of the funniest men in Hip-Hop; the legendary Grand Master Melle Mel, Luther Campbell, Kangol Kid from UTFO and someone by the name of D9s? Dat nikka Daz from the DPG also calls in to the show and gets a bit cantankerous with Herc and Melvin.
