This apparently comes up after N.O.R.E said that Pap was holding down all of NY after Control came out.

Does Ebro rap? I thought him and Pap didn't really get on.

Didn't know Pap and Nore had a project coming together.

can u tell me who he is and who he siged with?

any good tracks he got?

from what i know ebro is not a rapper, he's the 2nd in command at hot 97 tho, comes across as a bad guy thats why a lot of people dont like him, never heard him rap but he mentions shyt from back in the 90's so maybe he was doing it part time, hopefully someone can shed some light.

Ebro, as far as is publicly known has never been a rapper.
Also he has previously aired Papoose out, so they arent known to get along.
He has been on air a few times specifically ranting and raving about how he wont take any particular risks on nyc artists just cuz the station is in NYC, and the ratings game controls what the radio will play and how often. And that their is a difference between good underground records and good mainstream records and he might love you as an underground artist and personally bump it, but he is going to play what the metrics say not based off anything else. Basically his stance on the issue is radio plays hits, and once nyc artists are making hit records with metrics to back them up he will play em but not before.

I wouldnt say he is a bad guy at all, he just is a very clear and unapologetic corporate bean counter who absolutely controls nyc radio, and has an extremely risk averse radio programming algorhithm/strategy that has lead to NYC not breaking records for the last 7 years.

I've NEVER believed that Ebro & Papoose didn't get along. If you ask me there's a method to Ebro's madness. He doesn't big up anything that isn't hot. If he fux with you and respects your grind but you aren't "hot" he might go at you to help get your name popping. It's the only way he can talk about a guy like Papoose & still keep his company guy image.
That's just my theory though, I could be giving him too much credit but he seems like a pretty savvy guy. Just look at the attention Hot97 has given Pap and how it slowly transitioned from negative to positive over the last year.
