This was a dope interview .... I feel Rosenberg he plays alot of music that other stations wont even touch salute to him on that he puts underground music on a mainstream radio station ..... Salute to Ebro in the morning my favorite morning radio show keep doing these dope interviews
+Eddie Rincon I respect Ebro but Rosenberg is a fucken cornball. He thinks his the most important figure in hip hop and he speaks about himself in every interview. He is irritating as fuck
+NewNinetys I hear that. Rosenberg may be annoying but he loves real Hip-Hop. Ebro may be more about mainstream Hip-Hop than supporting the underground but at least he ain't as corporate as The Source.
Rosenberg gets a lot of unnecessary hate imo. He's always shown love to hip hop culture, shed light on the culture, given credit and respect to the legends of the culture, etc. He's more for the culture than most of the ppl that slap him with the "culture vulture" tag because he's white.
I agree. Rosenberg is a big impact on this hiphop culture and a lot of artists coming up now will tell you. Rosenberg has an ear for good music and good artists. Whether you like it or not it's true. If you seems the love and props artists give him during interviews you'd know.
Great interview. Shout out to ROS for standing his ground on the point he was trying to make. And Ebro keep holding it down for your squad, respect. #916
dude ...whatever ,no one takes offense to your lil comments , its the internet ..smh does he embrace the culture , yes ... but no one cares about rosenberg , it's true dude . what influerence does he have huh , come on son , he's just a radio personality ...it is what it is
I personally respect him as a hip hop figure,a lot of his influence does come from outside of hip hop things to, it's the fact that he has 3 super successful podcast and he's on a show on ESPN
This was an amazing debate. Ebro checked his ass out of nowhere around that 34 minute mark, pretty much was like "nah I'm not letting that subliminal diss slide my G" lol. Rosenberg, I think you're great at what u do, but I don't think you're as powerful to the culture as you think you are.
+Lina Luv he checked him because of that lil comment dude made to peter. something like u making statements that are affecting my kids is an issue... around 31:40.. thats when ebro checked em after that
***** LOL YES, you can tell he was/is a lawyer. He wasnt phased by anything, poker face was on 100 and he was able to have a solid response to everything being said. I dig it.
Rosenberg is one of the best dj's around when it comes to the actual music. he really cares about the culture, and a lot of ppl's favorite artists have great relationships with him because he wants the music to be good. he breaks artists, plays them late nights, shows mad love to the OG's, his podcast is dope....i mean what else can the kid do??
True. I'm from the UK and used to buy The Source religiously. But when they dissed Em, Gunit and Dre. I noticed the following months the magazine got thin. That crusade destroyed the magazine. So I jumped shipped to XXL plus they had eye candy
Between Peter sending the early shots, Londell returning fire, Ebro G-checkin and squashin Londell, and Maino pulling the Invisible Man act when it popped off, this was hilarious!
I fuck with Rosenberg heavy, good on him for holding his ground in this conversation, that part when he was like "I had it in my backpack" was my shit, seeing him get tight is pretty rare but this was dope
Whether I agree or not with Rosenberg position on this list, we cannot deny he has a point.. He's passionate about the culture, he's not a culture vulture.. He's a genuine hip hop head who lives and breaths it with a passion. People saying he's "mad annoying" aren't speaking any sense. Just hating !
+AuMusicGroup in my opinion, as a "radio personality" being mad annoying and extra sensitive actually does affect the way the people in the culture f*ck with u... look whats happening to the legendary funk flex
Ya know i was gonna gonna come up on here and start to bash Rosenberg and then i thought dude breaks artists and keeps their music and names alive in conversations where those artists names wouldn't normally be so even their names are put into rotation so to speak Rosenberg has an authentic love for HIP-HOP and shows it regularly with his radio show, with his concerts, with his DJing, with the podcast. SALUTE to ROSENBERG.
I met Rosenberg this summer in Chicago he's a cool ass dude and I have tremendous respect for him. On the flip side of that I agree with Londell when he was talking about the age range of hip hop, a lot of people over my age of 30 years old are not really familiar with Rosenberg or even Ebro for that matter even if they are from NYC. They said Rosenberg been on Hot 97 for seven years, that's a whole different generation of hip hop. Take someone like DJ Red Alert who doesn't get any kind of props for what he has contributed to the culture as a radio personality, and like Rosenburg made a good point about DJ Enuff.
Rosenberg has a deep love for hip hop. If he was black, y'all wouldn't give him as much slack as y'all do. Yeah he can be annoying af sometimes but you can tell he loves this shit and puts his heart into it.
Ebro sneaking in a "nobody cares about magazines" comment in there at 30:25 was nasty. Londell kinda catches it but has to keep up with Rosenberg because he's going HAM, verbally. Dude's snuck a chair into the ring and whacked "magazines" with it before the ref could catch 'em. Gotta keep your head on a swivel.
NCC always has true respect for Londell McMillian. He's one of the long time connects to New City Connection ENT. Much respect to Lon and the Source #LongLiveHipHop. #Source360.
This guy gave a great interview despite Rosenberg sounding like he was beging for relevancy and wanting to fight about the past with Eminem and Benzino. Funny how Ebro dissed magazines as if Radio Stations still matter.
That's right. Talk it out like men. Blood pressure gone rise. Voices get raised. Bring up the issues and discuss it in person, not passive aggressively on social media like punks
Rosenberg is like that annoying friend who is always saying "I heard him first, that means I like him more and no one else can like him because I like him most !!!"
This interview went dark...a debate is one thing, but the back and forth took away from any possible positive messaging this could have had. As a consumer, we don't give a fuck about a list or where you fall on it. Would have been nice to learn more about the community event. That's hip hop. Not a fuckin list.
This interview was interesting. At the end of the day who even cares about The Source? They had their moment and lost it. Complex and other blogs are running circles around them when it comes to media. Nobody's reading any paper magazine with no biased list like how their mics became biased.
+Antoine Rashad its like Londell said, the Source is the blueprint for which all great Hip Hop media is presented. Unsigned Hype and Quotables inspired freshmen list, no rating to this day is as iconic as the 5 Mic system, you can't say the 5 mic winners are not some of The Greatest artist's in Hip Hop, even if you don't agree on the particular product that won the 5. we are in the time of Hip Hop politics, The Source has always covered the politics of the culture now it is "cool" to do so. Complex's best work is Magnum Opus, all that is Source 101 reloaded. Source 101 was a section that covered legendary figures and art pieces in the culture. I could go on. The Source may not be important to YOU because it's a new day, you get coverage from elsewhere, just like you prob check Hot 97 interviews more than the music they play. BUT DON'T PLAY YOURSELF, The Source is still your fave media's fave media.
Dope interview and respect to Rosenberg for getting gully wit son respect to the Source too thought the brand was bullshit until the end of the interview. Definitely calling Londell if I get in a jam too. Seem like the type of lawyer to knock a body in the trunk too a traffic ticket, and the key to the city for helping the dude in the trunk.
rosenberg is no doubt a huge force in the hip hop community EVERY artist who comes thru the station shows him love...i mean......peter palooza.....jaun epstein.....late night......and beside all that he always has strong points and can really articulate how things go down in not just hip hop culture but general issues regardless of who the guest is on the show he always has great input and chimes in
I got mad respect for the homie Rosenberg 💯👌He been supporting that REAL hip hop, while all these other Radio stations & DJ only supporting that conry commercial bullsh#t nowdays
Rosenberg annoys me as if he's genuinely finding new artists and isn't being sent CDs or just looking on rap blogs like everyone else but let him say it and he's finding kendrick as if he was unknown when he was on game soundtracks
+juniortim33 the fact he supports hip-hop is not the point. He seems to be delusional on how popular and relevant that he is. The only reason a few people even know of him is because of who he works for
I fuck with Ebro for holding it down. Ebro deff came through and put Hot 97 on his back and now I watch both programs. In a perfect world both programs would boss up and make one brand because both are working for companies above them. Great interview though.
In all honesty Rosenberg can't kill someone's career nor stop something from being played. He is just an on air personality with a mix show that gives platform to DIY artist who have already developed a fanbase. He isn't making these hits the internet does that and he just gives them a terrestrial platform. I like Rosenberg but Kendrick didn't need his co-sign he gave it and tried to hold on for dear life. Kendrick would have been fine without him. Is Rosenberg part of the culture? Unequivocally. Does he overplay his influence? With all due respect, incontrovertibly but he is supposed to be gassed about his own career.
He gives a platform to a lot of underground and up in coming artists... Gotta give him respect for that... He and Sway put a ton of young hungry artists on... Gotta respect them both for that. Rosenberg gets to much unnecessary hate in my opinion
+Brendan Keene Wasn't one of the points in the debate the no one really needs radio, you can put yourself also they don't play any of those new artists at prime times. If a tree falls and there's no one around to hear it does it make a sound?
"we would never make a list of top 10 magazines, cause nobody cares about magazines anymore" Ebro tried it. And does Laura Styles do anything? Like, why is she there??
This was a dope interview .... I feel Rosenberg he plays alot of music that other stations wont even touch salute to him on that he puts underground music on a mainstream radio station ..... Salute to Ebro in the morning my favorite morning radio show keep doing these dope interviews
Word
+Eddie Rincon That's a fact tho.
+Eddie Rincon I respect Ebro but Rosenberg is a fucken cornball. He thinks his the most important figure in hip hop and he speaks about himself in every interview. He is irritating as fuck
+NewNinetys I hear that. Rosenberg may be annoying but he loves real Hip-Hop. Ebro may be more about mainstream Hip-Hop than supporting the underground but at least he ain't as corporate as The Source.
Respect to Ebro for standing up for his team.
Man fuck Ebro lol
***** Fuck you lol
Rosenberg gets a lot of unnecessary hate imo. He's always shown love to hip hop culture, shed light on the culture, given credit and respect to the legends of the culture, etc. He's more for the culture than most of the ppl that slap him with the "culture vulture" tag because he's white.
tru real shit. he just says dumb shit occasionally
He says that dumb shit a lot but he's hiphop legit
he's not "white"
+IRespireRhythm Okay "Jewish" if that floats your boat sir. It's not that serious, he's actually referred to himself as a "white guy" multiple times.
+IRespireRhythm jew is not a race its a religious identity.
I agree. I had never heard of this radio station until I stumbled upon a few videos. Now I watch daily.
whats the channel name again??
+Joseph Okori lmao😂😂
The level of knowledge and passion in this discussion is pretty incredible.
I agree. Rosenberg is a big impact on this hiphop culture and a lot of artists coming up now will tell you. Rosenberg has an ear for good music and good artists. Whether you like it or not it's true. If you seems the love and props artists give him during interviews you'd know.
Maino finally took off that Burger King kids meal crown off his head. Good for him.
Lmao
+David Harris lmfaoo
***** Lmfaooo
That list had rosenburg extra salty! LMAO!!
Lmao right... Cornball
+Da Goat But every point Rosenberg mde was valid. Yeah he's corny. Yeah he's salty. But yeah he's right.
Great interview. Shout out to ROS for standing his ground on the point he was trying to make. And Ebro keep holding it down for your squad, respect. #916
rosenberg has the right to complain he has a lot of influence
No he don't , nobody caree about Rosenberg
+Abel Cain youre obviously a moron if you think that
+Ontheish Agreed. He's goin in. I dont blame him. . he knows his stuff and has a alot of clout.
dude ...whatever ,no one takes offense to your lil comments , its the internet ..smh
does he embrace the culture , yes ... but no one cares about rosenberg , it's true dude .
what influerence does he have huh , come on son , he's just a radio personality ...it is what it is
I personally respect him as a hip hop figure,a lot of his influence does come from outside of hip hop things to, it's the fact that he has 3 super successful podcast and he's on a show on ESPN
why does Rosenberg look like he just copped the Low End Theory Starter Collection
Lmao.. nice tribe reference!
Lol
+Will Greene LOL!!!!!!
Yo! Best interview yet! Finally some balance. respect.
This was an amazing debate. Ebro checked his ass out of nowhere around that 34 minute mark, pretty much was like "nah I'm not letting that subliminal diss slide my G" lol. Rosenberg, I think you're great at what u do, but I don't think you're as powerful to the culture as you think you are.
Kendrick & Joey badass are the two biggest artist that berg broke in New York
+Lina Luv he checked him because of that lil comment dude made to peter. something like u making statements that are affecting my kids is an issue... around 31:40.. thats when ebro checked em after that
***** LOL YES, you can tell he was/is a lawyer. He wasnt phased by anything, poker face was on 100 and he was able to have a solid response to everything being said. I dig it.
Rosenberg is one of the best dj's around when it comes to the actual music. he really cares about the culture, and a lot of ppl's favorite artists have great relationships with him because he wants the music to be good. he breaks artists, plays them late nights, shows mad love to the OG's, his podcast is dope....i mean what else can the kid do??
rosenberg is out of his dam Mind. he is not even relevant!
ON BEHALF OF EVERYONE FROM BROOKLYN. WE DO NOT ENDORSE NOR CLAIM MAINO. THAT IS ALL
Lmao
haha
+Vo Allah savage
+Vo Allah u must be from upstate SMH
Neal Booker are u dumb? I'm from bk and no one listens to this nigga. you must be one of the old heads who think he nice
keep doing interviews like this and Hot97 might be able to get their top spot back.
True. I'm from the UK and used to buy The Source religiously. But when they dissed Em, Gunit and Dre. I noticed the following months the magazine got thin. That crusade destroyed the magazine. So I jumped shipped to XXL plus they had eye candy
Funny that Maino was the calmest one there...I feel like Rosenberg put the open hand maino smack on Londell....Get em boy!!!! HOT97 Biatch.
that was a great debate, respectful and to the point and direct. thats how issues should be resolved. word up great interview
Between Peter sending the early shots, Londell returning fire, Ebro G-checkin and squashin Londell, and Maino pulling the Invisible Man act when it popped off, this was hilarious!
I fuck with Rosenberg heavy, good on him for holding his ground in this conversation, that part when he was like "I had it in my backpack" was my shit, seeing him get tight is pretty rare but this was dope
Shout out to Rosenberg for standing his ground 💪🏾
Whether I agree or not with Rosenberg position on this list, we cannot deny he has a point.. He's passionate about the culture, he's not a culture vulture.. He's a genuine hip hop head who lives and breaths it with a passion. People saying he's "mad annoying" aren't speaking any sense. Just hating !
+AuMusicGroup in my opinion, as a "radio personality" being mad annoying and extra sensitive actually does affect the way the people in the culture f*ck with u... look whats happening to the legendary funk flex
How did I miss this most awesome interview! Lol. Ebro and Rosenberg just getting at Londell. Lmao
i love great intense debates like this... plus there's nothing more better than seeing rosenberg get mad
Every time they get into this debate it always looks like Ebro and Rosenberg have a chip on there shoulder
Maino like I'm here for the look!! Lmao
Respect to Ebro for standing up for his team. Checked his ass quick
Best Hot97 interview yet.
He look like the dad from That's So Raven.
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Keep it authentic!
I watch this once a year because I like the heated debates. I could care less about who posted what on Instagram.
Facts. Surely u seen Schulz and Tariq Nasheed?
This is why I like Hot 97
Ya know i was gonna gonna come up on here and start to bash Rosenberg and then i thought dude breaks artists and keeps their music and names alive in conversations where those artists names wouldn't normally be so even their names are put into rotation so to speak Rosenberg has an authentic love for HIP-HOP and shows it regularly with his radio show, with his concerts, with his DJing, with the podcast. SALUTE to ROSENBERG.
where can we read the list without buying this magazine? lol
thanks!
+Justyn Polk found it? need that ish myself
no luck... it seems I need to subscribe ... pass!
I met Rosenberg this summer in Chicago he's a cool ass dude and I have tremendous respect for him.

Take someone like DJ Red Alert who doesn't get any kind of props for what he has contributed to the culture as a radio personality, and like Rosenburg made a good point about DJ Enuff.
ONE OF THE BEST INTERVIEWS ABOUT THE "CULTURE" THIS YEAR HANDS DOWN!! #SALUTE
maino should just have a toothbrush at hot 97...
+Alibaba Baba why, so he could sharpen it to a shank and stab somebody?
+Alibaba Baba lmaoo he always up there
Why?, Nigga looks like he barely washes his ass anyways. Bet he smells of ball sack and Cheetos.
+Cris LeRoi Wow!!!!
+Alibaba Baba nigga should get a toothbrush period
Rosenberg has a deep love for hip hop. If he was black, y'all wouldn't give him as much slack as y'all do. Yeah he can be annoying af sometimes but you can tell he loves this shit and puts his heart into it.
Rosenburg's so passionate about his job...HipHop is really a lifestyle to him!!!!!
+MsRESPECT90 Also, Ebro just made me subscribed
I cant even front this was a good ass interview...Especially towards the end
great interview and very smart man! i might just pick up the magazine
GREAT INTERVIEW😀
This was a good debate! Ebro definitely handled it great as well as Rosenberg
Ebro sneaking in a "nobody cares about magazines" comment in there at 30:25 was nasty. Londell kinda catches it but has to keep up with Rosenberg because he's going HAM, verbally.
Dude's snuck a chair into the ring and whacked "magazines" with it before the ref could catch 'em. Gotta keep your head on a swivel.
NCC always has true respect for Londell McMillian. He's one of the long time connects to New City Connection ENT. Much respect to Lon and the Source #LongLiveHipHop. #Source360.
These are two dying mediums arguing over who's dying faster.
LOL - "Sensitivity...Ralph Tresvant"
I like this conversation
This guy gave a great interview despite Rosenberg sounding like he was beging for relevancy and wanting to fight about the past with Eminem and Benzino. Funny how Ebro dissed magazines as if Radio Stations still matter.
That Escalated Quickly
That's right. Talk it out like men. Blood pressure gone rise. Voices get raised. Bring up the issues and discuss it in person, not passive aggressively on social media like punks
Rosenberg is like that annoying friend who is always saying "I heard him first, that means I like him more and no one else can like him because I like him most !!!"
I low key wish I lived in NY just so I could listen to Ebro in the AM live
really good interview.
Enjoyed this. Need more informative educational talks like it. 100
great interview & debate... word!
peace & respect~!
Maino on his phone the whole Ebro was goin in like "I ain't in this" lmao
All time great interview
Where can I cop Rosenberg's 'Sal's Famous' Pizza t-shirt?
This interview went dark...a debate is one thing, but the back and forth took away from any possible positive messaging this could have had. As a consumer, we don't give a fuck about a list or where you fall on it. Would have been nice to learn more about the community event. That's hip hop. Not a fuckin list.
Well said. I agree 👌
Truth.
+Hunter Davis Realest post on here. Close comments
I took some LSD and thought i saw Maino chillin in the cut....
This interview was interesting. At the end of the day who even cares about The Source? They had their moment and lost it. Complex and other blogs are running circles around them when it comes to media. Nobody's reading any paper magazine with no biased list like how their mics became biased.
They had their moment, but em and xxl crushed them
+Antoine Rashad complex is a joke though, like home said before, XXL is more credible
+Antoine Rashad Check out The Source's website. You can hardly find a review of any album with commercial appeal. Disappointing
+Antoine Rashad its like Londell said, the Source is the blueprint for which all great Hip Hop media is presented. Unsigned Hype and Quotables inspired freshmen list, no rating to this day is as iconic as the 5 Mic system, you can't say the 5 mic winners are not some of The Greatest artist's in Hip Hop, even if you don't agree on the particular product that won the 5. we are in the time of Hip Hop politics, The Source has always covered the politics of the culture now it is "cool" to do so.

BUT DON'T PLAY YOURSELF, The Source is still your fave media's fave media.
+Antoine Rashad Hot 97 falls into that exact category though.
GREAT INTERVIEW
SALUTE EVERY VOICE WAS HEARD ON DIS ONE
Dopee interview
I love how all of people in the interviews lately are speaking on owning our own culture.
After Laura get braces, and start showing off her body more she gon be fine as fuck.
Lol she has Invisalign
+Luxury Rap She does?
+Antoine Rashad she dont show off her body Bruh. She be wearing tall tees and shit
+ESTNinetyTwoFTL Antoine was talking to the other guy, who asked about the invisalign.
-virgins
I like the title 😂
Yo, Maino played the background. Maino was like I'm gonna let you cornballs play yourselves. LOL
Dope interview and respect to Rosenberg for getting gully wit son respect to the Source too thought the brand was bullshit until the end of the interview. Definitely calling Londell if I get in a jam too. Seem like the type of lawyer to knock a body in the trunk too a traffic ticket, and the key to the city for helping the dude in the trunk.
Powerful Points Rosenburg! It's Politics.
Rosenberg has put me onto a lot of good music for a long time...
Good interview
Damn! Ebro AND Rosenberg on they're period today.
rosenberg is no doubt a huge force in the hip hop community EVERY artist who comes thru the station shows him love...i mean......peter palooza.....jaun epstein.....late night......and beside all that he always has strong points and can really articulate how things go down in not just hip hop culture but general issues regardless of who the guest is on the show he always has great input and chimes in
I like this Londell guy , his face through the whole Rosenberg rant lool . He knows he's slap Rosenberg
The real conversation starts at 17:00
W
Bless
jesus christ, thank you
NY wants Maino to matter so badly
that escalated quickly
i love hot 97 they really be trying to help locals and hip hop in general lotta stations scared to do that on their level
manio jus kicking back and chillin
The Source and Hot97: once-great institutions that mean very little to hip-hop in 2015.
I got mad respect for the homie Rosenberg 💯👌He been supporting that REAL hip hop, while all these other Radio stations & DJ only supporting that conry commercial bullsh#t nowdays
Rosenberg annoys me as if he's genuinely finding new artists and isn't being sent CDs or just looking on rap blogs like everyone else but let him say it and he's finding kendrick as if he was unknown when he was on game soundtracks
+Westendbuddah lmao
yeah but he also gets them played on the radio and supports more than anybody in NY
+juniortim33 the fact he supports hip-hop is not the point. He seems to be delusional on how popular and relevant that he is. The only reason a few people even know of him is because of who he works for
Maino had me dying when he got quiet and fell back,he cool with Envy
Props to Ebro for defending his team
Rosenberg is nowhere NNNNNNEEEEAR as important as he apparently thinks he is. Pathetic.
I fuck with Ebro for holding it down. Ebro deff came through and put Hot 97 on his back and now I watch both programs.
In a perfect world both programs would boss up and make one brand because both are working for companies above them.
Great interview though.
"We'll never do a top 10 magazines..nobody cares about magazines " LMAO
When Angie left Hot 97, people followed her. If Ebro left Hot 97, would people follow him? That's the difference.
Yo this a dope ass interview.
Yes Rosenburg, he's talking about you! He doesn't think you are that special.
+Bee Jae ;)
Great Debate!!!
In all honesty Rosenberg can't kill someone's career nor stop something from being played.
He is just an on air personality with a mix show that gives platform to DIY artist who have already developed a fanbase. He isn't making these hits the internet does that and he just gives them a terrestrial platform.
I like Rosenberg but Kendrick didn't need his co-sign he gave it and tried to hold on for dear life. Kendrick would have been fine without him.
Is Rosenberg part of the culture?
Unequivocally.
Does he overplay his influence?
With all due respect, incontrovertibly but he is supposed to be gassed about his own career.
More artist and industry people need to get involved with the youth!!
Shots everywhere jesus christ this was entertainment
Real interesting interview so to both party's
Is Rosenberg huge in NY? People in NY please let me know?
He gives a platform to a lot of underground and up in coming artists... Gotta give him respect for that... He and Sway put a ton of young hungry artists on... Gotta respect them both for that. Rosenberg gets to much unnecessary hate in my opinion
I'm from LA and I believe he has huge impact on any artist.
+Brendan Keene Wasn't one of the points in the debate the no one really needs radio, you can put yourself also they don't play any of those new artists at prime times. If a tree falls and there's no one around to hear it does it make a sound?
He's not huge.
"we would never make a list of top 10 magazines, cause nobody cares about magazines anymore" Ebro tried it. And does Laura Styles do anything? Like, why is she there??
S/O to Rosenberg for standing up for his value
this is why i fucks with rosenberg
