Nope...if we are talking journalism, from a journalism standpoint, his integrity is :patrice: at best. He's definitely made an impact so props for that but too much dik riding, too much faux journalism and just too cozy with the people he's supposed to be objective about. I'd give more radio dudes or the hosts of Rap City (minus the dudes who came after Tigger) more props for covering hip hop than Elliot.

Dude is part of the reason we have fukkery today...

Him using the major platform (xxl) he had to outlandishly dikkride whoever was hot at the moment was his downfall....

He went from eminem, to cashmoney, to jigga, to shady/aftermath/gunit/back to jigga with no remorse...
his dikkriding is made worse by the fact that XXL was supposed to be the alternative to the source which had 'sold out' then they 'sold out' harder than the source ever did. Went from calling eminem a culture vulture(hence the xxl line on mmlp) to making him deity

And that's my problem with him..he claimed (claimed) to be this beacon of integrity and journalism and so anti authority and anti source and anti everything, taking hip hop back to its roots and as soon as Jimmy and Dre came calling with the money, he got on all fours and squealed like a pig

Lowercase goat for sure
julianne escobar shepherd said he was the best ever. andrew noz said he is one of his biggest influences. so the main rap writers today all bow down.

Youre gonna have to link that. Pretty sure Noz dislikes him very much now...

And you can't be a great journalist if people don't read or know or care about anything you have written. So hip hop journalism doesn't really exist...
