FIRED -Damn so Paddy Duke from Hot 97 is really Pasquale Raucci dude who help kill Yusuf Hawkins

[The Dust King]

A whole lotta

So Ebro knew years ago? SMH

10 yrs ago according to him

sounds like when he become the new PD he found out which means he been knew

this is pathetic. im not mad at ed lover, styles or even rosenburg.

its ebro who knew and been knew

 

[verbalkint]

What does, ""Blow this open" mean? What is the satisfactory conclusion to this after the guy has been fired?

As far as the the stations complicity in hiding it. Not that any statement will change mine or anybody else's opinion but damn.

Ok, just that management being exposed for hiring this guy with full knowledge of his past. Names of decision makers being named? I can get with that.

Black folks do not run hip hop... white folks do... from mgmt at the top of the levels distribution and other shyt...

Hence the operative word being “keep”.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

i wouldn't be one bit surprised if Angie is really an EYE-TALIAN..

She from the same hood as Paddy Duke

 

[verbalkint]

Looked this up the other day. "Pat" mentioned several times.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

All these radio hosts/personalities all I'm peeping is if they lie about it now. Angie I think is lying.
If someone comes forward says they knew but didn't want to fukk up their bag I wouldn't have an issue with that. That's honest.
Be honest is the best policy.

Star already exposed Angie that she knew because he said Paddy told Buckwild and Buck ask paddy if anyone else knew and Paddy said Angie Martinez..

 

[verbalkint]

The lying makes everyone looks so nasty. I'd just fall on the "everybody deserves the chance to change" sword if anything.

 

[QU Hectic]

Lisa Evers had to have known as well especially since she covers events like this current and past.

Damn, props for this. I forgot she hosted Street Soilders on there.

 

[aceboon]

Has anyone been able to find a clip of Angie discussing this? I saw the IG comments where she denied it and said she spoke about it on her show but I haven't been able to find anything.

 

[AnonymityX1000]

Yes, this should have been the play for Angie be honest and say you knew. And then go into it was about rehabilitating a racist schtick. Even if that part is bullshyt it's the proper PR play.

 

[The Dust King]

A far cry from the Star I used to fukk with in the 90s when he was doing the radio show with Buckwild.

WHAT?!?



If he actually is and had the audacity and/or stupidity to admit that to his audience, he should be shamed and kicked into oblivion.

Then again, if you're a Trump supporter you're incapable of feeling shame by definition.

But fukk Star. I used to listen to him in the early-mid-2000s and if nothing else, I always pegged him as a rational, intelligent person. Guess I was dead wrong on that one.

He's trolling with that. He says he votes Republican cause he wants America to stay the capitalist international bully that it is.
I doubt he even votes tho. He only talks about voting for president he has never mentioned any state or city race ever.

false narrative pushed by frail minded individuals

star has always been trash. i define trash as a bootlicking c00n howard stern stan.

he is a walking minstrel show who is prone to violent outbursts due to cocaine binging.

only "industry" ngga i ever saw rollin wit a buncha gay bodybuilders

he operates in a bubble so thank god he has no bearing on the culture and hasnt for decades

his biggest influence in hiphop was dissing aaliyah live on air the first morning of her death and having jayz diss him back


anyone who stans for him has real life issues

Black folks do not run hip hop... white folks do... from mgmt at the top of the levels distribution and other shyt...

they don't run hot 97 either

There was though. Google was around in the mid to late 1990s. Same with the internet. I was using it in high school for crying out loud.

I understand your point, but some of us are old enough to remember those days. I understand what you were trying to get at though.

comparing alta vista and yahoo to google is extremely disengenous

Wtf 4 percent in 99???

Did you live a trailer park?

No funny shyt. Askjeeves was poppin in 1999. I am east coast born and raised and we all was using internet in school. I will say not everyone owned comps, but by 99 we all had access to the web. I was surfing SOHH battling nikkas with type key

Even free libraries in the hood had the web.

we are the minority breh. he is right, 4% is accurate

This is why anecdotal evidence is meaningless.

Number of Internet Users (2016) - Internet Live Stats
Internet Growth Statistics 1995 to 2019 - the Global Village Online

You using the internet and/or everyone you know having access to it on the east coast literally means nothing. Cats talking about the mid 90's....only 0.4% of the world had the internet then. 2000? Only around 6%.

Libraries had internet access but most cats were not posted up in the library all day surfing the 'net. Not in no god damn 1998 or whatever cats are talking about. You'd have to be a next level nerd to do some shyt like that. And nobody I knew in '99 knew what the fukk "battling" on the internet meant. The people into battling were doing it in person.

Like I said the only reason I had a web browser in '99 was because of the Dreamcast. And even then, that was unheard of.

Fred.

minus text battles which were always lame af to me i had a similar experience to @New Jeruzalem Journalist and @Sir Brehsington using the internet since the early 90s

your very correct we are the exception

By the time nastradamus came out (99?) my moms had bought a computer and we had aol dial up

and we was kinda late on getting a computer/internet

I remember it being around the time nastradamus came out because I remember downloading songs from that album off Napster

I'm in the minority but I had internet service in my crib through Prodigy dial-up back in '93. And I had an X-band modem for my Sega Genesis that allowed you to play video games against other people, email, and browse a limited portion of the net back in '96 through your Sega or SNES. There was a whole online hip-hop community battling and reviewing/trading albums all through your Genesis console.

But the larger point still stands. People weren't digging for info on each other online back then because there was nothing to find. But I dont believe for a second Ebro, Angie, and the notable names didn't know about this piece of shyt.

those communities were majority white people and in this vein someone like @hex is the exception to the rule as hes not a kkraka or cac

These people talking about using the internet in school or in the library, places where you were on a strict time limit and most likely using it for school.

Internet searches pre 2000 were also trash.

lol facts

NYC

mom dukes was a single mom but doing “ok” by this time

working for a law firm and living in a decent neighborhood but living paycheck to paycheck

computer w dial up in NYC is better than OK. give ya momma her props brody

Mid 90s is NOT 99 breh. I was there. You making it seem as if the web was some mythical thing that only .4 percent had a part of. Like I said NYC/NJ was on the web, not just some nerd shyt, baggin bytches on AOL, posting in chat rooms, STILL going outside and YES internet battling was a thing. SOHH and other sites had forums dedicated to it.

I was around the live battles as well - shyt NYC/NJ compared to where you resided seems like a whole different world. We all used the web AND we socialized in the streets/school. No disrespect to you attended.

Often I see a lot of misinformation from my perspective, so I am just making note on how I lived it. That .4 percent shyt sounds like BS, unless you lived in a completly remote area during that time.

like i said above we had similar experiences growing up except i knew i was on some future shyt and you thought it was normal; it was not

the average white person wasnt familiar with the internet; the hood was waaay late even when 2way pagers started to pop

it was out of most peoples price range and wasnt a necessity; it was max leisure

and that 4% is correct; half of that was NY/NJ

the other half was cali
