Legendary episode. I got emotional throughout because I could feel the love in Steve’s heart and the love in NOREs heart! This is what life is about sharing love and giving people their flowers and helping one another. Steve is a solid guy! God bless him and his family always 💕
One of the best and saddest drink champs!!!! RIP Pun!!! RIP Prodigy. I remember when NORE was running through Rumbas in Bronx with the whole Murder Unit!!! Now he host peace to the OG. Did his thing and survived to tell the story.
It's crazy I watched this interview last night and fell asleep. Before I finished this Ye's interview came out and just coming back to this is full circle. 💘
I was signed to SRC in 2004 right after joe sold steve the terror squad project that he had completed on his Atlantic budget for $150,000.. I got my deal like everyone else our mutual friend sat next to Steve on a flight and had 55 of my songs on his iPod Steve said "I'll sign him" I was on the road wit akon & richoccet b4 I actually inked... Steve called me at 130 a.m Jan 20,2005 and asked was I" ready to work" I said "can't wait" he told me my single was going out for test presses...10a.m that day I was remanded and my bail revoked for a 2&1/2 year old case.. I got 5years for a hammer.. I watched and missed akon and tpains whole careers on 106&park from prison. After being wit kon at mtgs at interscope for tpain... Just my story .. ...yea it sucks but it's all FACTS
@@musicfiles5004 not trippin on missing an opportunity... You're NOT considered a LOSER until you QUIT. I still have a fully functional studio in a studio building not my crib.i write,I produce... It IS MEANT FOR ME AND IM GONNA GET IT. JAM Master Jay told me NOTHING HAPPENS BEFORE ITS TIME... And I'm patient ..peace
@@whitelightmusic3307 im riding with you sir . That is the right attitude to have .And i hope you make it. What is your artist name I would like to hear your some of your stuff
@@jeremyvalderas8146 maybe if the guests get drunk you get those stories, but if Nore gets too drunk he starts cutting people off and his interview skills falter
Nore DESTROYED at least 3 of his own questions before Steve could fully respond and describe scenes and situations that I AND THE FANS LIKE ME WANTED TO HEAR! Steve Rifkin was part of and responsible for a hip hop pedigree that is unfathomable and unrivaled in the HISTORY OF MUSIC! And I wish there was another way to get more of his stories without nore silly ass in da way. That man walked wit the GODS
ODB jumped on stage when they lost to Puffy, real hip hop died in the 90s on that bullshit. Awesome interview with a legend. Only 15 minutes in. 40 minutes in just listened to 30 seconds of a "Ryriff" song and I am sad; at least the song was less than 1:40 seconds.
My dad my dad my dad... must be nice. i wish you could redo the audio on all of your previous episodes. you guys make music, how could you let that shit slide in the past?
He still had to put a lot of work in, he had great artists obviously, but it’s a business where you have to manage personalities and solve everyone’s problems, it’s a very tough business
Everybody’s not a culture vulture, some of these dudes loved hip hop when they first heard it. That term gets way over used everytime a white guy talks rap.
Steve is anything but a culture vulture! He gave rappers a shot when other labels passed them on. Do some research on who Loud Records put out - they were the 1st street team! Don't speak if you don't know the history!
Grew up listening to all of these Hall Of Fame Artist and more. Mr. Rifkind Thank You.

#Legends
I love when Steve says, "Cappa was away"
Big ups, Steve...dats Long Island!
so much better when Nore ain't drunk
Too drunk a lil drunk ok
The whole reason I watch is to see these guys get twisted . Makes the interview better and you get stories that you might not get otherwise.
@@jeremyvalderas8146 maybe if the guests get drunk you get those stories, but if Nore gets too drunk he starts cutting people off and his interview skills falter
29:07 I was F'ing crazy 🔥🔥🔥👊👊👊
Delinquint Habits
Great stories!! ..but why the hell are the mics aiming at the table top?? the audio is horrible!
Steve Rifkind must’ve been Sniffin to catch something so dope…..
Nore DESTROYED at least 3 of his own questions before Steve could fully respond and describe scenes and situations that I AND THE FANS LIKE ME WANTED TO HEAR!

Make money money make money money
"Love old school"
Great history lessons.
Steve and Efn looks like brothers
Rifkin knows all too well about what Russell was doing. They ALL participate
My dad my dad my dad... must be nice.
i wish you could redo the audio on all of your previous episodes. you guys make music, how could you let that shit slide in the past?
If you love hearing about hip hop…then check this interview and soak that shit up! Much respect to Rifkind
“✋🏾 Aye white boy, don’t speak on me and Dame relationship”
Wait so did Raekwon get the extra $25,000 when Steve threw the chair?
He’s not self made....he’s grandfather gave him everything???
He still had to put a lot of work in, he had great artists obviously, but it’s a business where you have to manage personalities and solve everyone’s problems, it’s a very tough business
No!
I’m not going to lie i thought that Floyd mayweather episode was dropping
Joshua Imani. You just gave us all the fucking DROPPPPP thank you Joshua Imani
Why did Russell bounce if he’s innocent?🤔
Why does Nore spell his name "N A O N A A" he says it in the beginning "what up it's yuh boy n a o n a a"
I heard him spell his name in Spanish…. 🤷🏽♀️
🔥💯
lots of people who have been victims of sexual assault,can remember the events from their attacker even if it's 35 years ago.

Culture vultures
