well, Joe Budden's that Rosenberg convinced him to start does like 50k-60k and occasionally can hit 100k, Tax Stone does around 50k, Combat Jack does like 50k, and lip service does 40k+.
Those are different. Since when is Tax's podcast about hip-hop? Budden is a emcee, but his podcast ain't hip-hop either. They discuss hip-hop if within a topic, but otherwise nah.
Combat Jack is tho. But i think part of it is cuz Combat Jack, Tax & etc are fall under the same umbrella while Joe's podcast & Juan Ep falls under Rosenberg Radio/Hot 97. They don't have as many shows & developed as much.
But IMO it's the best hip-hop podcast. They've been around since late 2007 & they discuss so much history with great talents, and most of all - they're passionate & engaged in it. Ciph maybe not so much due to his experiences in the industry, but hate him or love him but Rosenberg is knowledgeable & very passionate about GREAT hip hop (yes!). Plus they mix jokes in.
IMO Combat Jack was better when they were a team on the show. They were funny as shyt. From about 2009-2012/13 They've changed to straight interviews nowadays tho which isnt as entertainment TO ME.
