Ebro (hot 97) on Combat Jack show breaks down radio and why underground rap fails

[Breezy_Kilroy]

That part about the struggle was right on point. Finally somebody said that shit.

 

[N YO HOOD]

great interview

 

[usmarin3]

He ethered a lot of souls with the ''struggle rappers'' point, it's what i've been saying forever. Niggas love these rappers who pander to them, which is what this Nas vs Jay argument stems from imo. Nas comes off as the struggle rapper and Jay comes off as the rich/i made it rapper.

 

[Disciplined InSight]

He's the program director for Hot 97 right? Hmmm..figures.

Ebro's just getting paid for what he's suppose to do (corporate puppet machine). It's all part of the plan.

Payola/Plugola still exist but its not necessarily money under the table type of deals, its in the form of giveaways i.e. Tickets and other prizes.

This is why I say relativity is stupid.
