>> I'M not with all the division. I'm not

with [ __ ] [ __ ] up the morale or

some [ __ ] I'm on flip side in all of

that [ __ ] that Mark is going to try to

do. [laughter]

>> He knows him. There ain't going to be

nobody. But Mark don't care about the

morale. He don't care. [laughter]

>> Who feel good?

>> I do care. And in fact, to push the

morale up, let me just say, let me echo

you. The fourth quarter, JBP, everybody

up here been making great moves. I'm

excited and proud to be part of the

team. I saw your P interview with P and

Nas.

>> P and N.

>> You spoke that.

>> Shout out to you on YouTube. Shout out

to those brothers. Album out now. But

thank you guys. That that it was it was

wellreceived. Yeah. Where was he?

>> That was one of your better interviews.

You asked questions that I would have

asked in music nerd world.

>> Yes.

>> I knew I did good when somebody in the

comment said Chad GBT gave them

questions. [laughter]

>> Damn. That was a compliment. That Yeah.

Yeah.

>> When somebody put on the chat. That's a

compliment.

>> Yeah. But other than that was the only

comment I saw like that. Everybody said

the questions. They killed me for jeans

and Tims.

>> That's funny. That was funny.

>> Yeah. Y'all killed me too for jeans and

at some point hip hoppers.

>> Yeah. But [laughter] but it was great.

Uh, it was a to complete honor. I'm glad

that the fans enjoyed it. Honored to be

a part of it. It was great. And thank

you guys.

>> Hey, now that the smoke is cleared, I

like that Naz album.

>> Yo, I listen to this morning. I do, too.

>> Yeah. I'm sorry.

>> I do too.

>> I'm sorry, internet.

>> Yeah, I I was I was a little scared

because of all the reception. Not that

only did like a shallow listen, but I

listened to it all the way through again

this morning. I I liked it a lot,

actually.

>> Yeah.

>> Nas is rapping his ass off.

>> He is.

>> And the criticisms of the beats I just

don't get. I I I enjoy that.

>> Yeah. Beats are Beats are doing exactly

what they need to do to let Nas do what

he needed to do.

>> Yeah. Listen, I saw I saw Nas perform uh

uh during the Thunder Spurs game. Really

dope performance. Amazon played it for

hours, hours and hours and hours even

after the game ended. And he did two the

two new songs he did, Welcome to

Underground and Get Ready, sounded great

live. It wasn't an album that when I

heard it prior to it coming out, I

thought that the fans would just

immediately get and be like, "Oh, this

is crazy. It ain't It ain't that like

you was fire." That the production level

that that's one of those things where I

thought they really hit their stride

together. That [ __ ] was fire.

>> Yeah. No, shout out shout outs to those

guys. I'm glad that y'all enjoyed the

interview smoking on the fourth quarter

pack.

>> And and it's funny because when it came

out, I guess came out 9:00 a.m. the fans

lost their minds. the JBP fans. Yo,

everybody calm down. Like that you

released the show like three hours

later right?

>> Yeah.

>> People I mean people were making think

pieces about why why why

>> the Patreon didn't drop.

>> Why Patreon didn't drop?

>> Think pieces complaints. They were about

to start a a petition. I'm like just

relax. It's going to be a couple hours.

That's all you're just creating space

for. Right.

>> It's a it's a And I'm appreciative of

that, too. There's a part of the fan

base that does that. There's a large

part of the fan base that knows what

time it is and understands and you don't

really have to communicate everything

to. But yeah, it's dope. It's dope.

>> Super dope.

>> The year couldn't have been what it is

without without the chatter from the

community, without the good [ __ ] the

bad [ __ ] the clippers, the think

pieces, the fake narratives, the ones

you get right. Like, at the end of the

year, it's like album release day for

me. Album release day is the day the

wow, it's out. It's yours. This is what

it took to get here and the creation of

it. That's what that's what December is

for me. Thank God a lot of people didn't

make it this year.

>> Yeah.

>> People died. People are still having

[ __ ] health issues and private

battles and

>> family conflict and just internal [ __ ]

Depression. The Rob Riner story we'll

get to shortly,

>> but nothing to not be grateful for. I'm

not going to hold you hostage here with

my spiel. But

>> why turn a revolt?

>> Oh, Park Smoked that. Shout out to all

of them. That was great. Great panel.

That was a great panel. Go Revolt.

>> Yeah, man. That that was a lot of fun.

And there's going to be two more

episodes, I believe. So, tell us again

what it is.

>> Uh, it was a year- end wrap-up. It was,

uh, me, Rob Markman, head uh, LC and

Eevee, and we sat down and talked [ __ ]

about what we liked and loved about last

year.

>> I loved it. Shout out to you. It was

amazing. Park, I

direction professionally? Are you trying

to be more like public facing?

to. I don't want to run around and do a

>> I love Ebro. That's my brother, man. I

love Rosenber. I Rosenberg all the time.

Uh, and Rosenber's dad. Um,

>> I I think um there's some work to be

done on the graphics. There's some work

to be done on the production side of it

cuz they've been you they've been doing

most of the audio stuff, so the video

stuff needs to go a little bit, but I

thought the combo is good and energy.

>> Well, yeah. But before you get to that,

I ain't going to let you keep steering

us in down the right path.

[laughter]

>> Oh [ __ ] Hey, before before you get to

that, I'm wondering how you feel about

again, I said the same thing about Max

B.

How do you feel about people just taking

a moment after after after a moment to

have a moment?

>> I think it's different with them.

>> Yeah, they can't I don't think they can

just take a moment.

>> But tell me why.

>> Because of what you came off, you need

to kind of like hit the ground running

type [ __ ] Why?

>> Well, I think

>> why explain it.

>> I think part of it is market share. I

think if you're like, look, every people

see or hear us every morning and we want

to the next day we going to still be

here in the morning for you. I think

there's a way that to build their

audience. They want to just keep moving.

I get your point of taking them in to

give people a chance to miss you. I

think that's wrong.

>> Yeah. I think building anticipation,

>> but I think I think with them as a

morning show,

>> you saying give people a chance to miss

you. My reason is way more detailed than

just

>> your your reason is logistics

>> and doing it right. get it right.

>> Yeah,

>> it's more important to get it right than

to do it fast.

>> I think a lot of

>> Even though I support podcast, my bad. I

support people

>> starting shows and learning in real time

and fixing in real time. That's one of

my favorite things about this thing and

the audience being able to watch that.

But if you blessed with a golden window

and perfect opportunity to just be able

to take your time, make the calls in the

background, get your ducks in a row, you

pat yourself to see how the new what new

way do you want to present, fix some of

the old front-facing things that people

had a problem with. I didn't know so

many people hated this crew, but a lot

of people they had negative things to

say about

>> Ebro Pete, not so much Laura, but you

know, they've been on since ' 09, and

people know Ebro since

>> 01,

>> right?

>> You've never taken a break.

[clears throat]

>> You went from on on air to

>> program director to behind the scenes to

then you had your own show, then you got

another show. You've always elevated.

You got your Apple [ __ ] There's never

been a time where Ebro

could just chill. I would take a month.

I I wouldn't have come back 2 days, 3

days. No.

And it might be another way to like

those fans there. They they looking for

our show. So now this could be a way of

saying

>> we're here. I'm trying to keep

>> as much of them as possible for even to

set up my next play.

I get what you're saying. I and I

understand that and I'm not really

criticizing. I'm just opening the floor

for discussion. I'm on the other side of

also what you do is you let the world

happen

>> when you take a break. Yeah. But in in

letting the world happen, you can also

lo yo people forget about you if you you

gone too long.

>> Freeze.

>> Yes, that's true. But also, if you show

that you were bought part of a big

program and you got fired and then you

come back and it looks like that,

>> you just adding on to the scrutiny that

that comes with it.

>> You might be robbing yourself of the

bigger bang. Yo,

>> go sit up,

>> eat some salad.

>> He bro got a beautiful family job. Go

sit up. Go be family man. Let's see who

the new replacement is. That might fire

you up to be ready to yo like he

immediately jumped in his car. That's

what they're killing him for when he

jumped in his car. You've never seen him

that way.

>> What people [clears throat] mean when

they say I never seen I never saw you

that way. We've never seen you so

unsettled.

>> That's what they saying.

>> We've never seen you. We just know you

as the boss.

New York hip hop. Your role is too great

to go from that to now sitting in the

car smoking talking about Net and Yahoo.

That's what they mean.

Silence. Silence. [sighs]

Silence. Actually, I got a clip. Y'all

talk. I got a clip on silence.

>> I think that Oh, I'm sorry. I think that

um

from the outside looking in, we could

have 2020.

I think that it was an emotional thing

for them. Like, yo, dog, I've been here

for 30 joints. I've been here for 20

something years. And I think it was just

an emotional thing. And I think they

reacted in the moment and responded in

the moment. So, I you can't tell nobody

how to respond um emotionally to some

[ __ ] that might have affected them. I

think they was really affected. And from

what Peter Rosenberg said, he said, "Yo,

they was like completely blindsided."

They didn't have any inkling that it was

coming. So if you didn't have

>> if he said it is cap

>> he said

>> that's what he said he said he got a

phone call was saying yo we got legal on

the phone he said yo they hit him and

was like yeah pay turn on um legals here

>> yeah today will be your last day Pete uh

being terminated you you would he a say

nothing about nobody else was just like

yo today is your last day um we're

terminating you like real just cut to

the point and he said he had no idea

>> you believe that Okay.

>> I mean, but if I'm going by what he's

saying

>> because they started letting other

people go already. So, you should know

that they were letting people go.

>> That mean that don't mean you being that

you are a staple here at the program and

you have been for 20 something years.

>> And the ratings are strong. I can see I

can see how even with the writing on the

wall, you miss it.

>> You not enough. If you E broke and Peter

Rose,

>> you ain't looking around then.

>> You not looking at it like, yo,

>> it might be true.

>> And that could be true.

>> You ain't looking around.

>> But again, pride and ego will have you

not look around and think that it could

happen to you. That that's a real life

thing. I tell people all the time,

especially in this content game, the

people that act like they didn't know or

oh [ __ ] that's happening. I had no

idea. Hey, what's the look up? [sighs]

Look up. That's my one of my favorite

lines.

>> I'm not Look up.

>> I'm agreeing with the second that they

were purchased before anybody got let go

>> 2019.

>> The second that they were purchased.

>> Oh, the lights are flickering.

>> Mhm.

>> There's no telling what this new staff

is coming in here to say. I learned that

at Def Jam when I went from Leor and

Kevin and people that love me to people

that don't.

No telling what these new folks feel.

You don't know what they objective, how

much they spending, how much they want

you to get paid. Lights flickering then.

Cool. You missed that one. TT Torres.

Oh [ __ ] Y'all got Okay, you missed that

one. Another big one left. This is all

before uh

>> Not even that, Joe. They didn't renew

the building leaf, [ __ ] When they got

rid of the building, they That should

have told you something. When they

downsize and use a smaller spot, that

should have

>> Oh, yeah. That's the other part. That's

like me me on my complex rent saying,

"Hey, they won't let me smoke in the

bathroom." Yes, I'm not supposed to

smoke in the bathroom. But it's a sign

when they won't let you smoke.

>> Yeah.

>> In the bathroom. Y'all can't go record

at the new spot. Ain't no new spot,

y'all. That ain't with the roaches and

the rats and this the first time we

hearing this. No, you missed some signs.

And it's okay to say that. There are

company people out there, and I'm not

now. I'm just opening I'm opening it up

more.

>> There are people out there that when

you're on company time, you can get

comfortable.

>> Mhm.

>> You can get complacent. You could think

you could go in that back room and

people could be telling you everything

that you [ __ ] want to hear. That's

what I'm saying.

>> I think you're saying the same.

>> I'm not I'm not really against like what

you're saying. No, what I'm saying is

it's like the athlete. It's like the

receiver. It's like you were a star and

you still think you are a star and these

owners are looking at you like, "Yo, my

[ __ ] you went from averaging 30 to 19.

We can go find 19 points a game at a way

steeper pay cut than what you are now

getting." You might not think that

because you like, "No, I put this

franchise on my back and I built this

shit." And they looking at you like,

"Yeah, and we paid you and that was

yesterday year."

>> So, I think that and and and again,

y'all keep saying, everybody keeps

saying that their ratings was up. So if

the ratings are up, you looking at it

like what reasoning would they have to

let us go if we are performing at a high

level and we put this building on our

backs?

>> Well, that's the thing. I ratings are

important and numbers are important. I'm

a wacko and there are wackos out there.

So sometimes you just change [ __ ] up cuz

cuz creatively it's not a go. Sometimes

you have the foresight to see, hey, the

landscape is changing or the future's

changing. we seeing things to where we

can't go off the numbers. It's better

for us to fix it while these numbers are

going good and get ahead of it versus uh

>> rebuilding want to hit the bottom

>> versus Yeah. being so reactionary about

it. And I understand both sides. I

understand both sides of that for sure.

An organization feels the numbers up cuz

we us. So they feel like they can

replace the morning show and still keep

those numbers up and maybe at a cheaper

price, which is another thing that

they're thinking about cuz they don't

care about the culture. A lot of times

they just want to make money analytical.

And that was the thing with the that's

what I was saying earlier just had this

conversation with the company that

bought it. I don't think that I don't

think that it was it's more about

culture. It's more about structuring

profitability. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's

not about that.

>> What can we cut to make more money? I

don't care about the culture.

>> Y'all keep wanting everybody to come

care about culture.

>> Why wouldn't we?

>> Like let's we let's start having some

some uncomfortable conversations

because if we don't then nothing will

ever change.

>> That's right.

Culture is cool, but it's free to say

it.

>> True.

>> That's true. I'm

>> like, he got in his car to talk about

this gentleman and where he stands in

New York City and the casino and what

his real sights is set on. And whether

you take him at his word or not, I know

how much it costs to have these

satellites

and the air rights, this business

attached city.

>> Yeah. this [ __ ] [ __ ] hip hop. Huh?

The people that you talking to to buy

these things, they don't care. It

shouldn't keep being a surprise.

>> It's a blessing when you bump into

somebody who's in that position

>> and loves hip-hop.

>> Yeah, it's rare.

>> So, when I first walked in, we flip off

mic start asking me like, "Yo, what do

you think these business owners um mo

biggest priority is?" And I said,

>> "Money,

>> profitability."

>> Yeah. Like, yo, I said even the sports

owners out here that don't give a [ __ ]

if the team does well.

>> Yeah.

>> They look at it like a gas station or

like a clothing line or any other [ __ ]

they want the profit and maximum profit

from these businesses. They don't

necessarily give a [ __ ] if we win the

Super Bowl or the Stanley Cup or

anything else. Now, if you get a owner,

i.e. we give Jerry Jones [ __ ] all the

time. Jerry Jones loves football. He

wants to win. He wants to be

competitive. It's a lot of these owners

that could give two [ __ ] if we losing

or winning as long as that number at the

bottom of the page is big. No,

>> we do that, but then we complain about

our culture being watered down.

>> I agree with you. I'm just saying

>> we we going to complain about the

culture being watered down. It's not the

same. We let people come in. So, what

side do you stand when you see this?

>> I don't stand on either side. I just

understand and and and see

>> what is going on. So, if we don't own

[ __ ] we can't necessarily dictate how

somebody does what they do with with

some [ __ ] that they own. Yeah.

>> Yeah.

>> We keep selling. We We run to sell our

culture out. True.

>> And and and please don't get me [ __ ]

up. There are companies out there that

care very much about culture, but that

is a blessing.

>> That's Yes. It's not It's not a lot of

people. It's icing on the cake.

>> Yeah.

>> And I don't think the companies hide it.

>> No, they don't.

>> I could tell you who feels how about

black people.

>> I could tell it to you. Some of them big

dogs. Thanks. Salute. That's a salute.

the others I act like they don't even

exist in my world. And you know, I don't

want to make it sound like I don't have

a for the creators out there, for Ebro,

for anybody that needs to hear it. While

this may sound bad, the the [ __ ] we were

saying about we our own culture and all

that, there's nothing but greatness to

come from this. If that's what you want,

right? We do our greatest [ __ ] when we

learn when when they when they slam the

door in your face or when they fire you

or when you thought that that payday was

coming and it didn't come or when you

stand in somewhere and you've been

killing [ __ ] for years and they say,

"Nigga, get the [ __ ] out of our face.

You're not invited to the secret special

club that we got back there."

[clears throat] That's when you when you

go in your room, the greatest things are

made in the tiniest rooms.

>> Full circle. That might be why they hit

the ground running on Monday morning

because they might have been having some

conversations said, "Yo, we could still

do this [ __ ] This might be a blessing

in disguise. We don't want to take any

time off to get a little cool. Let's

jump right back in the horse in the race

on Monday morning."

>> Hey, when it's your life, there's no

right or wrong answer. There's

[clears throat] no right or wrong

answer. I'm saying you he my

professional opinion is he could have

did both. You could have took this time

to go sit in your room, think some more.

If you think you finished, do it again.

When you think you're done, think some

more and then come back and not miss a

beat. That's just my opinion.

>> Could have. Could have,

>> but who knows? And when you get fired,

and the last thing I'll say, just when

you get fired, sometimes that

calculation that would normally be there

wouldn't be like he may the advice

you're giving him, he will probably give

somebody else.

>> Yeah. But emotionally,

>> but emotionally sometimes when you're

when you when you get fired, I know for

me a lot of times you want to show the

world

>> that you still matter outside of that

company

>> and you want to show yourself.

>> Nah, Drake posted the [ __ ] I'm saying

bad

>> and got you [ __ ] in in a duffel and

got you [ __ ] in that's come on enough

of this.

>> But that's what I'm saying. You want TO

SHOW THE WORLD THAT you're not

>> You hear the people talk. Hey, some of

those are some of them are important

people. You've made friends over the

years. You've made [ __ ] to hate you

over the years. When you on the down

side, now's the time for the hate you

people to be loud. Drake is posting the

axe. He don't [ __ ] with you. Sorry.

>> I tried to tell you [ __ ] that when I

came to Hot 97 and y'all was all super

super friendly with Drake and I'm like,

"Hey, there's another side. You'll

learn. You learned.

YOU LEARNED." X TIME. Now you on your

show leaking the messages.

>> Mhm. This was on the show. You didn't

see

>> that in the morning. Oh, that's right. I
