Macklemore has been very candid in speaking on his GRAMMY wins over Kendrick Lamar in the hours following the award show. This morning, the rapper called into Hot 97 to discuss winning and the logic behind why he believes it happened.
You may not know Lil Bibby right now, but you will in the near future. The rising rapper is currently in New York City, where he sat down with Hot 97’s morning show to discuss his Free Crack mixtape, growing up in Chicago, the significance of his name, and more.
UPDATE: Hot 97 released footage of the heated discussion between The LOX and programming director Ebro Darden. See it after the jump. Jadakiss, Styles P and Sheek Louch haven’t been known collectively as The LOX for some time now but all that changed in the wee hours of December 18 when they dropped an EP […]
These days, it seems like nothing sets the Internets ablaze like a good old fashioned rant. Wale, who created a stir when he spazzed on a Complex Magazine writer, sat with Hot 97 to explain his rambunctious reaction, why he thinks the publication has a personal gripe with him, and more.
Things got heated on Hot 97 last night after R. Kelly, who’s currently promoting his Black Panties album, cancelled on the radio station last minute. Programming Director Ebro Darden, host Angie Martinez, and others tried to amend the situation, but the one and only Funkmaster Flex wasn’t for playing the friendly game.
The A$AP Mob piled on to the promo for the release of their “Trillmatic” single and video with a visit to Hot 97. Peter Rosenberg and Ebro Darden got a trio of the crew to speak on a few relevant topics, including the trolling of Trinidad Jame$, and white women.
We’ve seen more than enough passionate theatrics from Kanye West in the past few days, which makes his Juan Epstein sit down a nice change of pace. Unlike others, hosts Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg managed to keep their conversation with West strictly about the music.
The exhaustive Kanye West media run continues. Yeezy visited Hot 97 for an interview with Angie Martinez and his fiancee, Kim Kardashian, tagged along. During the interview he also confirmed his rumored new deal with adidas.
We’re seeing the aftermath of the hoopla surrounding statements Trinidad Jame$ made about New York City Hip-Hop at a Brooklyn concert Tuesday (November 12). Just 48 hours later, Maino and others have issued Twitter responses, and now we receive a track from the Atlanta rapper called “L.I.A.A.R.S.”
New York City has enough bubbling talent to reclaim its previous rap dominance. Among these artists is Smoke DZA, who recently stopped by Hot 97 to bless DJ Enuff with a freestyle.
UPDATE: Rick Ross says the title of his forthcoming Jay Z collaboration is titled “Devil Is A Lie.” See him discuss this with MTV on the following page. Of the major label releases, Rick Ross is set to drop the last highly anticipated LP of the year in Mastermind. The Miami rapper recently recently showed face […]
You have probably seen the trailer; Rap Radar’s Brian “B Dot” Miller getting barked on by Hot 97’s VP of Programming Ebro Darden. The verbal ether on the full Juan Epstein podcast is actually worse, but the two did come to a resolution, with Darden apologizing for screaming on the journalist/blogger.
