They’re not journalists and that’s ok. Like how Nore calls himself a journalist. I’m glad they all found life after hiphop though. You can call yourself an entertainer or podcaster.. it’s ok. Elliot hating but still :yeshrug:

I’ll listen to some of these pods and they’ll try to talk about stories without having done zero research.. :snoop: even a single google search. They’ll literally be trying to guess and remember shyt mid convo on the pod and that shyt be pissing me off. At least Cam and Mase hired Stat Baby. They were very smart to do that. Rory is trying to legitimize all these folks but good luck to you if the entire world shifts to podcasters over journalists. People be out here not knowing bad weather is coming through because they don’t watch the news, meanwhile thru know all the podcast hot topics. shyt crazy out here

this. some nikkas barely know what the fukk they be talking about but expect to be taken seriously.

Cam and Mase do what they do cause they have a background in it and they give a different perspective. Them nikkas funny and they have a space. The whole ESPN is compromised and only focuses on LeBron and are dishonest af. nikkas tired of that shyt. Where’s the “real journalism” when a lot of the sportscasters are employed by Clutch Sports and just say a bunch of wild shyt? Even Rory and Mal said “what about when Charles Barkley etc etc become media..” he said that’s a natural progression. So it’s cool for them to do it but it’s a problem when a hip hop artists does it in their own craft and space? fukk outta here.


If you like it, that's cool.

I just don't think what Cam and Mase does is for me. They're funny but I don't want to watch them interview the biggest stars, athletes and enterainers. It's NOT a problem, it's just not for ME.

I mean I understand that. Elliot tried to frame it like it's a problem and thats what annoyed me.

They have a lane because they talk like regular people on the street and they’re easily digestible.

This was basically what Hip Hop journalism looked like in Elliott Wilson's time. It fell off when people started putting more stock into outlets like Pitchfork and now that white Youtube dude. There are writers now that aren't going to get the slang like there's the one writer who put more thought into the geography of Manhattan in relation to Queens than the overall message of what the lyric was trying to convey and this was a Black writer: educated and likely had a degree in journalism and communications as the article itself was well written, but it was clear he had no understanding of what he was writing about.

I never thought this nikkas opinion on hip hop mattered. And his podcast was trash.

I don’t know why any rapper would take this nikka serious. nikkas always look at white people for being culture vultures and look past bytch ass nikkas like him.

I f*ck with Killa and Murda but unpopular opinion - their show hasn't been entertaining since the first handful of episodes or the occassional freestyle.
