The Chuck D incident is the point and to blame. A lot of older rappers aren't ******* with Rosenberg. They took it personal. Chuck D isn't Nicki Minaj.
They used to record at the radio station, so it was easy to get artist, because they were coming to the radio station and because it was easily accessible. Some artist probably even thought it would be a good look and thought it was a Hot 97 thing.
And I'm not sure what you mean by new artist? Juan Ep was never about new artist.
The best interview formula? They barely let the artist talk half the time and hog the interview time. After an hour you've barely covered their career, and the irony is he used to send subliminals at Combat for having long ones. We'll have a part two. Cipha knows hardly anything about the artist they're interviewing half the time. Hell, listen to the Tribe interview. How many podcast have you heard with such pitiful sound quality where you can't hear anything? I could go on and on. For being in radio, they aren't very good at podcasting. Now sports radio? Perfect, because Rosenberg likes hearing himself talk. Angie has conversations while interviewing, but still let's the person do the majority of the talking. Combat tries to do that. Rosenberg and Cipha have conversations with each other or with themselves while the guest is there.
From an interview standpoint B Dot and Elliott are the best. Combat can become annoying when he starts interrupting.
I didn't know how much Elliott has hurt himself over the years with his **** riding. In general I'm not a fan, but I get it. He leeches on to whatever is the new hot thing, because it's something in it for him. Thus the Drake slurping. Where as someone who had to earn their spot and rose slower like TDE he was dismissive about. He sees what's hot, not will be hot. That's how he was brought up in magazines. He realizes it now that he's been fired a couple of times, and now he looks like he's having a midlife crisis with the frohawks and going to clubs to stay in touch.

Yeah, I was like why is this dude so angry. You don't expect cats to ask about someone who has been a part of the show for five years. He's feeling himself a little too much.
...his ego a lil too much
