Born and raised in Brooklyn from brownsville to the stuy much respect to both jay z and biggie two of the best rappers ever and they are from my home. Nuff respect to both
This could have been a good an interview, but you have 2 idiots interviewing who's making it about them instead their guest. No one could really touch Biggie's storytelling, Nas is my fav, but Biggie's flow was beautiful. Jayz benefited from Biggie's death, he attempted to fill that void.
Love how Clark Kent defends the honor of Hip Hop legends , he gets low key tight when they take a stab at Jay biting Das and the " Biggie who " joint . They just flipped the convo real quick but the homie Clark Kent got tight reallllll quick ! Love it mayne
This confirms what Tupac said that verse was about him. Bad Boy claimed it was an old song they released but Clark confirms that Biggie added that second verse to it.
2nd verse doesnt even include anything aimed at pac neither the whole song , the title and the theme were the only reason pac thought it was targeting him
Peter Rosenberg What's funnier during the entire podcast is how you try to put yourself up there among the greats and Clark always shuns you. He'd rather acknowledge Cypher. You're a nobody in the the bigger scheme of things. You're just another organizer and a dude that carried crates for a DJ for whatever that's worth. Carrying crates don't mean you can DJ and it seems that it's got you delusional; it even made you think you could hang with Chuck D. Don't body yourself dunny; you're a NOBODY.
George Jung dunny?...Ok, we just figured out you from Queens....Dont even trip Pete, Imma track dunny down and scuff his ass #peterrosenbergbodie'sniggas
Not lyrically but as a cultural icon because of his skills combined with his business acumen. I stated that because traditionally hip hop was built off lyrical skill not business acumen.
ststama He will NOT go down as the greatest rapper!!!!! Rakim, G Rap & Kane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Biggie is the master mc and rapper who was able to take all flows and delivered it like no ever will jay is the best business mc/rapper who tried to surpass biggie lyrically but never could that’s why he references him on so many songs.
Rza already broke it down. Jay had the quickest clearest flow back in the days. You had Treach, Twista, and I forget the reggae artist who had a swift flow as well.
+Tyrell Carter Kan bit the style from Jaz and Jay, Just Blaze asked Kane on the Combat Jack interview and he said yes" I definantly got that style from Jay and Jaz"
Kent got sour when Rosenburg said that Jay bit Das Efx; talkin’ about Jay on the “Originators.” Rosenberg is right & wrong, though, Jay did bite that style, but not from Das Efx, it was from the Fu-Schnickens. “Originators” came out in ‘90, Fu-Schnickens dropped in ‘87-‘88. That’s why in the “Stillmatic freestyle,” Nas goes, “... before you used to rap like the Fu-Schnickens/ Nas designed your ‘blueprint,’ who ya’ kiddin’?”
Peter Rosenberg you mentioned before you guys video recorded all of the old episodes, if you still have them can you make those videos available somewhere please
Clark Kent lied and said he produced Troop’s “Spread My Wings” but actually it was a man named Chuckii Booker. Clark Kent’s real name is Rudolfo Franklin or something he is NOWHERE on the credits… he needs to explain
Markus Hodge Biggie and Jay have two different styles. Jay does double triple entendres and Biggie doesn't. Big is dope but he rap lyrical but it's straight direct. Jay lyrics is coded.
Man I read the comments first and thought these guys can’t be as bad as u all are saying . Hell, they are worst , clowns , silly , ignorant, interrupting great stories. When he met Jay in the middle of Marcy , they cut him off. When he quit , they cut him off. Are they drunk ?
Jay Z is going down as the greatest of all time and rightly so, because he mastered every aspect of emceeing and commerce. He's done every style and sold records like legendary pop artists. He's had the highest acclaim from "real" hip hop and highest acclaim from pop music.
Virginia is where most of the wholesale connects were because it had a lot of port cities with low coast guard numbers and customs monitoring. He didn't sell drugs there
Rapping is more about flow, style and delivery...everything Big gets praised for. MCing includes that but with a more mature, vivid story. Layers to their rhymes. MCs can be rappers. Rappers can't be MCs. (A smart man can play dumb. A dumb man can't play smart)
The difference between MC and Rapper is a rappers strong suit is his flow, delivery, and presence , style etc think Big Sean or Wiz Khalifa ( No content but nice delivery) . Biggie has a unique and stylish, presence on records as well as flow. Jay's strong suit or the Emcees strong suit is his content. His storytelling, double entendres etc. Jay z - The Best at lyrics and what he says, the lyrics he writes and pictures he paints. Biggie The Best at how he says it. Style delivery Vocal presence.
Nitride Black Dot answers this question well; see his book Hip Hop Decoded, and or his videos on here. But from what we've studied the etymology for the word "rap" is "rape," so when a person is 'rappin'' , talking to you,, their main interest is to "Take" something from its audience or listening ear[s]. "MC' = Master (or 'Mistess) of Ceremony, takes more magnetic/magical skill to pull this off effortlessly; it's title is pretty much self-explanatory. #HipHop #MC #Rap
Bro Jay maybe better lyrical than biggie but biggir is better than jay overall. Jay may have lyric a little bit more than big but big is better with flow he more tricky with his word and better present than jay. So overall biggie is better than jay, lyric wise jay is a 10 big is a 9. However flow, trick, voice and present biggie is a 10 and jay is a 8. LYRICS (MC) 1.JAY 2.BIGGIE 3.GOAT OVERALL BIGGIE IS BETTER THAN JAY. PRESENT (RAPPER) 1.GOAT 2.BIGGIE 3.JAY
Jay Z undeniably has better multisylable rhyming uses more literary techniques like entendres on a higher level. You might like Big more or think he writes better songs, but from a technical standpoint he is NOT better.
It all depends on which version of Jay, you're referring to. The "In my Life Time" (single), Jay from 1995 compared to the "One More Chance" (remix), BIG from 1995 or the "In My Life Time, Vol 1" Jay from 1997 compared to the "Life After Death" BIG from 1997. We can't go past 1997 with the comparison for obvious reasons.
Clark Kent did some classics Troop "Spread My Wings" still gets played in my house & Jay Z is dope but some of y'all be going too far with him as a lyricist!
Jay's wordplay and double and triple entendres are amazing. His philosophy on success is great as well. Listen to songs like "Most Kingz" and "History". You can't surface listen to Hov his rhymes have layers.
Sean O'Neal I've seen many before him mastered that double triple entendres like for ex: Big Daddy Kane & Jay barely raps that way now. Yeah he is still killing it on a mainstream level musically but lyrically I'm not blown away. I'm just like aight that was ok cool when he drops something!
darius davis No I am not like I said I think Jay is dope but some people go overboard with as of how much good of a lyricist he is. Did you even read my comment I think not!
FINISH the SENTENCE; Kent; "Yes Big is the MAN but my'Man is,.." YOUR Man is WHAT, Yes We can imagine its Gotta be something Like; ', hotter than You bc he's the best ever!' ButWE wanna hear it in Your words!
Born and raised in Brooklyn from brownsville to the stuy much respect to both jay z and biggie two of the best rappers ever and they are from my home. Nuff respect to both
Don't Ever say who, when u say Biggie.....
This could have been a good an interview, but you have 2 idiots interviewing who's making it about them instead their guest. No one could really touch Biggie's storytelling, Nas is my fav, but Biggie's flow was beautiful. Jayz benefited from Biggie's death, he attempted to fill that void.
Mox Me Damn absolutely!!
I just told my boy Biggie was the most talented rapper overall even though Nas my favorite and Jay has had a great career
BIG said himself that jay was better.
Star wise jay benefitted.
Bar wise jay was always better.
@@lovehate8286 actually not true jay has admitted on many occasions if he’s not better than biggie he’s the closest who ever will be
i like how all these hiphop chronicles have been coming out lately. its needed
„dont ever say who when you say biggie“
Respect to the Legend DJ Clark Kent
5:08 .. Clark Kent saying to himself " Goddamn I can't believe I'm sitting here talking to these corny muthafuckas "
Lmao...Right...these dudes are the worst interviewers ever.
+Frank Banks the worst..cornballs.hhahaahaha
+rodney edwards what's they're saying about Das Efx and Jay Z is so ridiculous it's comical ..
I listened to this episode with dj clark kent twice already, not sure why buy this is one of my fav episode of Juan Ep
DJ Smiles
Love how Clark Kent defends the honor of Hip Hop legends , he gets low key tight when they take a stab at Jay biting Das and the " Biggie who " joint . They just flipped the convo real quick but the homie Clark Kent got tight reallllll quick ! Love it mayne
EXACTLY ... these ignorant/ill informed, biased, clowns are on hip-hop "cultural safari" with one of the great pioneers of the Golden Age of Hip-Hop!!
Jays work made him a legend and clarks work made jay a legend as well
A sneaker connoisseur and an IMPORTANT 90's DJ/HIP-HIP PRODUCER!!!!
CLARK WORLD BABY!!!!!!!
This confirms what Tupac said that verse was about him. Bad Boy claimed it was an old song they released but Clark confirms that Biggie added that second verse to it.
I wouldn't Lie y'all love to dickride PAC don't you? Man PAC and Eminem have the worst fans ever lol.
+BoomDog001 and drake..
Marr Tinnn lol and drake and his pop fans. but they a lil tame compared to them.
Which minute is it?
2nd verse doesnt even include anything aimed at pac neither the whole song , the title and the theme were the only reason pac thought it was targeting him
"You damn near Google everything, look it up" Kent just owned/exposed Rosenberg. And to be honest, Rosenburg doesn't know much.
LOL
YEah well Kent was Lunchin if he thought the Originators came out in 1985. It came out in 1990
Peter Rosenberg What's funnier during the entire podcast is how you try to put yourself up there among the greats and Clark always shuns you. He'd rather acknowledge Cypher. You're a nobody in the the bigger scheme of things. You're just another organizer and a dude that carried crates for a DJ for whatever that's worth. Carrying crates don't mean you can DJ and it seems that it's got you delusional; it even made you think you could hang with Chuck D. Don't body yourself dunny; you're a NOBODY.
George Jung dunny?...Ok, we just figured out you from Queens....Dont even trip Pete, Imma track dunny down and scuff his ass #peterrosenbergbodie'sniggas
Mr Mister I'm in East New York now. But I'm from the Bridge...don't waste your twttier characters with the idol threats, you not BUILT like that.
Jaz-O and Jay-Z did THE ORIGINATORS in 1990! He did it before Das and that's a legit FACT!
1990 not 1985! Good memory.
Great story...that's the same answer I give ppl when I have Big/PAC conversations
Long live Clark Kent!
Biggie at the end was probably like "Aight... But atleast I didn't sell my soul"... TURNED DOWN FO WHAAAT!!
Does anyone notice that Clark Kent's event timeline morphs for convenience at times? The Orginators-1985??? 😂
When was it then bro since you were there
Everytime Kent get ready to spit some jewels, they cut him off with some foolishness.
RIP CLARK KENT !!! Your Legacy is unmatched !!!
When it's all said and down Jay will go down as the best of all time
Not lyrically but as a cultural icon because of his skills combined with his business acumen. I stated that because traditionally hip hop was built off lyrical skill not business acumen.
Lark Da Dark Thank you!!!
Ok maybe not as a MC but as a rapper he will go down as the GOAT
ststama He will NOT go down as the greatest rapper!!!!! Rakim, G Rap & Kane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol ok, if you say so
I knew this was Juan EP but that J.Lo bit through me off lol
I was maad happy to see her
Biggie is the illest !!
Troop's "Spread My Wings" was my shit and especially "Top Billin". Go ahead Clark Kent.
I've heard Hov say shit @ lease 10 years before anyone else. & I didn't realized it until 20years later. Hov is the Goat..
That's why every rapper started saying they're hustlers don't call them rappers.
b.i.g was the illest..
I like dis interview
Biggie is the master mc and rapper who was able to take all flows and delivered it like no ever will jay is the best business mc/rapper who tried to surpass biggie lyrically but never could that’s why he references him on so many songs.
kent is tha truth yallzzz
Man J Lo is fine
Rza already broke it down. Jay had the quickest clearest flow back in the days. You had Treach, Twista, and I forget the reggae artist who had a swift flow as well.
Jaz-O , Jay-z And Kane was doing that Style way before Das.. Its A Fact !
+Tyrell Carter Kan bit the style from Jaz and Jay, Just Blaze asked Kane on the Combat Jack interview and he said yes" I definantly got that style from Jay and Jaz"
+Julian Parrish indeed . That's why I put Kane last .
+Tyrell Carter I can dig it brother
Kent got sour when Rosenburg said that Jay bit Das Efx; talkin’ about Jay on the “Originators.” Rosenberg is right & wrong, though, Jay did bite that style, but not from Das Efx, it was from the Fu-Schnickens. “Originators” came out in ‘90, Fu-Schnickens dropped in ‘87-‘88.
That’s why in the “Stillmatic freestyle,” Nas goes, “... before you used to rap like the Fu-Schnickens/ Nas designed your ‘blueprint,’ who ya’ kiddin’?”
please please please make the whole recordings of juan epstein podcasts available to people on some format
THEY ARE IN FULL ON ITUNES!!!!
Peter Rosenberg I mean the video pls
Peter Rosenberg you mentioned before you guys video recorded all of the old episodes, if you still have them can you make those videos available somewhere please
05:05 (Clark kent's expression) ....lmao
Why Clark Not a BIG WIG AT ROC NATION🤷🏼
Clark Kent lied and said he produced Troop’s “Spread My Wings” but actually it was a man named Chuckii Booker. Clark Kent’s real name is Rudolfo Franklin or something he is NOWHERE on the credits… he needs to explain
biggie all day
5:07 thats what super uncomfortable looks like...
Clark Kent forever
Damn.Rip Clark
Yo biggie is the greatest of all time just go back and listened to Notorious thugs and that’s says it all he took their fellow M meet his
its the other way around. jayz is a rapper and biggie is a emcee
What? No
Markus Hodge Biggie and Jay have two different styles. Jay does double triple entendres and Biggie doesn't. Big is dope but he rap lyrical but it's straight direct. Jay lyrics is coded.
Markus Hodge biggie was jay b4 jay I feel like big became his guardian angel in decoded he said when he records he still wears biggie old Jesus piece
Now I'm about to go listen to who shot ya
Suave a.k.a. Paul Reevers remembers you as well! Big ups 2 SKI!!!
I disagree Biggie had the best rhymes AND said them the best
Man I read the comments first and thought these guys can’t be as bad as u all are saying . Hell, they are worst , clowns , silly , ignorant, interrupting great stories. When he met Jay in the middle of Marcy , they cut him off. When he quit , they cut him off. Are they drunk ?
wait WTF? naw Chuckie Booker produced Troop's "Spread My Wings"
How does Rosenberg not know that Originators came WAAAY BEFORE Das Efx
Jay Z is going down as the greatest of all time and rightly so, because he mastered every aspect of emceeing and commerce. He's done every style and sold records like legendary pop artists. He's had the highest acclaim from "real" hip hop and highest acclaim from pop music.
Rosenberg is a lame...
Fan of both but Biggie my favorite
My all time top 3...
Biggie
Jay Z
Nas
Das Efx would have gotten it from them!
I would of never put that voice tot hat face. After listening to it on iTunes i thought it was some white dude lol
what was jay doing in virginia?
He said he used to drug deal by the DMV
Youngest MVP oh i thought he was only dealing in trenton,new jersey
He did too, he mainly dealed in Maryland. He mentioned he drug dealed in Virginia in h to the izzo.
jessie toussaint Youngest MVP he always mentioning DMV lol. Even before H2daizzo. Jigg was gettin it
Virginia is where most of the wholesale connects were because it had a lot of port cities with low coast guard numbers and customs monitoring. He didn't sell drugs there
Can somebody tell me why Smoke DZA and DJ Clark Kent resemble each other?
Dude!!! >.
Is dude in the green always drunk???
lmao
Clark Kent trippin, tha song The Originators came out in 1990
Clark Kent talking about flow. B.I.G. had way better rhymes than Jay-Z. The flow was just extra.
The flow was godly
Jay always had better rhymes.. Biggie just had that voice n Crazyyyy flow that made everything sound good
clark takin lowkey shots at rosenberg lol "you google damn near everything else"
This story doesn’t even sound believable but he did know both of those guys so maybe it is true
I wonder wat kicks he was rockin tho
who is or what is "Juan Epstein"??? what does this mean? why is it the name of an internet podcast/radio show??
Wasn't the whole Das EFX & Lords of The Underground beef over Das supposedly stealing their style?
the supossed beef was over a song Mic checka ..das came out first and their styles were different
So Hood! MacBook 2 the MIC!
Biggie is lyrically better than Jay-Z end of story
*Goes to podcast app*
clark was ready to kill the fool in green with that "who" comment
J-Lo looks beautiful here!
Rosenberg is such a hater. 😂
Rosenberg doesn't know rap history
Originators was 1990
Don’t ever say who when you say Biggie
So , what is the difference between an MC and a rapper ?
Jay Z is a rapper. Nas is a MC Biggie is a rapper, Pun is a MC
Rapping is more about flow, style and delivery...everything Big gets praised for. MCing includes that but with a more mature, vivid story. Layers to their rhymes.
MCs can be rappers. Rappers can't be MCs. (A smart man can play dumb. A dumb man can't play smart)
The difference between MC and Rapper is a rappers strong suit is his flow, delivery, and presence , style etc think Big Sean or Wiz Khalifa ( No content but nice delivery) . Biggie has a unique and stylish, presence on records as well as flow. Jay's strong suit or the Emcees strong suit is his content. His storytelling, double entendres etc. Jay z - The Best at lyrics and what he says, the lyrics he writes and pictures he paints. Biggie The Best at how he says it. Style delivery Vocal presence.

She hella beautiful
Why is it called Juan Epstein?
***** Wrong! lordjohnson48 just told you fool!
herby lovebug the homie
Cipha & Rosenberg are terrible interviewers. Can’t even let the man talk smh 🤦🏽♂️
Sorry but Jay is NOT better than BIG. I don't care how fast he can rap. Twista can rap faster than Jay. I like Jay but BIG was/is better.
Jay Z undeniably has better multisylable rhyming uses more literary techniques like entendres on a higher level.
You might like Big more or think he writes better songs, but from a technical standpoint he is NOT better.
FINALLLLLLLLY SOMEONE GETS IT.
Aaron you deserve this W.
+Aaron Carter JAY Z is overrated bro. BIG was the king in flow, lyrics
It all depends on which version of Jay, you're referring to. The "In my Life Time" (single), Jay from 1995 compared to the "One More Chance" (remix), BIG from 1995 or the "In My Life Time, Vol 1" Jay from 1997 compared to the "Life After Death" BIG from 1997. We can't go past 1997 with the comparison for obvious reasons.
The version of Jay prior to BIG passing is probably not the version you're using to compare.
9:47
Thank you
I really can’t stand Rosenberg
That Jewish nerd is definitely not a real hip hop head.
So basically who shot ya was an early jay z diss as far as who's better goes.
thats what it really sounds like especially after hearing this story
Clark Kent did some classics Troop "Spread My Wings" still gets played in my house & Jay Z is dope but some of y'all be going too far with him as a lyricist!
Jay's wordplay and double and triple entendres are amazing. His philosophy on success is great as well. Listen to songs like "Most Kingz" and "History". You can't surface listen to Hov his rhymes have layers.

Are you saying jay-z isnt a lyricist smfh
darius davis No I am not like I said I think Jay is dope but some people go overboard with as of how much good of a lyricist he is. Did you even read my comment I think not!
He's a great lyricist, even at his age of 44. Did you not hear the freestyle to "We made it"?? So many layers in that song.
This dj continually lets himself down. He's such a pretend head
FINISH the SENTENCE; Kent; "Yes Big is the MAN but my'Man is,.." YOUR Man is WHAT, Yes We can imagine its Gotta be something Like; ', hotter than You bc he's the best ever!' ButWE wanna hear it in Your words!
dooooooope interview but nah jay nowhere close to big
Yah he's better.
+Aaron Carter exactly!!!
+Aaron Carter Crazy Asl Jay bit Big whole style
G-money Bagz their content have very similar narratives. Mafioso tales n such
+G-money Bagz Jay Z was biting biggie that's a fact bruh
JLO SO DAMN FINE
Vanilla ice doesn't get credit for his skills. Vanilla ice sold more records than a lot of artists. Facts
Don't tell anyone else that.
Jay always had better rhymes.. Biggie just had that voice n Crazyyyy flow that made everything sound good
Cipha actually said "who?" about Biggie and said "fuck off Clark"? Maybe Khaled was right, Ciph got problems.
horrible host
Jay can't touch biggie yo when you stole biggie verse that shoe biggie is way illa
Incroiabla? Cest non...croiabla
Jay definitely bit Das
Damek Gibson Jay & Jaz came out b4 Daz!
dude knows nothing about hip hop
