What you're talking about isn't being an interviewer though. He is a terrible interviewer and I'm a fan of Star. He tends to not know much about the artists artistically. He only knows salacious things about what makes the headlines. What he's great at is being able to rile up people and expose stuff. It's entertaining but it isn't being an interviewer. I'm a fan of Star, he's a great personality but I generally don't learn shyt about an artists when he interviews them. His shyt is just entertaining for the fukkery.I disagree with this.
The way he would negotiate with artists to do something for spins was genius because he was showing the masses how Hot 97 gets down indirectly with favors. He did it with Keith Murray, WC but the biggest one was when he got Justine Timberlake to admit that he was sexing Britney when she was promoting that she was a virgin. Dude said 'u admit it and I'll give u such and such spins" so while the average person is focused on the controversial part...Star was sideways showing u how Hot 97 gets down with favors. I never seen anything like that on radio before.
and there was other shyt. Liek him exposing how Hot 97 was strong arming Black artists to do Summer Jam for free but then turned around and paid Eminem 300K because Em didnt need Hot97 but they wanted him so bad in 2002. It was a spit in the face to all those Black artists who did Summer Jam for free all those years. Thats why Jay Z speaks about how "They wont play my hits well I dont give a shyut so.." on 99 Problems because Jay was one of the artists they were doing that too....Notice Jay put that verse out after Em got that 300K. Star exposed all that shyt...
Joe just did 300k in a day on his shyt about Kanye West from his podcast. Everyday Struggle can't even do 300k in a month.Ak the supreme draw yet they contemplating canceling the show?!?! How that work?!?
If Ak was really bringing in numbers like that, there wouldn’t be much need to negotiate.
Not only that if something is bringing money and numbers, you don’t take a month long hiatus. That’s not caping, that’s common sense.
They talked about Cardi and Nicki damn near everyday, now they missing out on all this content. Plus J Cole album and now all this Kanye BS?
I mean if Ak was the big deal like you claim, wouldn’t Complex have him talking about all this stuff on the show?
The show was modeled after First Take and all they do is talk about LeBron everyday.I have a theory.
MAYBE... just maybe the show wasn't that good to begin with. Maybe people made this out to be something better than what it really was. Maybe the whole concept of the show was redundant with a small shelf life.
That's the only common denominator I could come up with.
Doesn't matter who you bring on. The topics they discussed were at a minimum. They talked about the same shyt very day... And it's ironic, because "Everyday Struggle" was a fitting name because they literally struggled to come up with shyt to talk about most of the time.
When your ONLY asset/staying power is confrontations that become viral, then your product is weak as fukk.
The show was modeled after First Take and all they do is talk about LeBron everyday.
They most definitely do talk about LeBron everyday. It's a 2 hour show about sports yet they don't talk about Baseball which has like 15 teams playing everyday or hockey which is in the playoffs. They only talk about Golf when it's Tiger. So if you have a 2 hour show about basketball and the NFL offseason then what are they talking about? They have 15-30 minute segments about LeBron every day around this time.The NBA is more interesting. And no they don't talk about Lebron everyday
There's not that much that goes on in hip hop to warrant a 1 hour show dedicated to talking about it. Why do you think they revert back to the same topics.
They were basically trying to be a off brand version of TMZ masquerading as some hip hop forum. They were discussing random viral videos, instagram posts and tweets. .
It's sad when you make a show about hip hop and entertainment, but need fukkery that has nothing to do with hip hop just to get "views"
Bootlicker how?Wayno is a bootlicker, knock it off.
And he never EVER said anything about the industry that made me go
Facts. Joe is moving on to greatness with out him and he knows it.@ AK lowkey begging for Joe to come rescue him
It was his IP. Why shouldn't he get a percentage. Every other show that Complex has started since, has failed.
shyt, they bushed Joe and ended up shutting the show down 2 months later. In the end, all this does is prove that Joe was right.
Can we do a compilation of the funniest STAR moments on Everyday Struggle?
STAR shytting on Fat Joe (especially at the very end) is the funniest thing I saw when I briefly checked out the show
nikkas was talkin mad GREASYI hope yall are watching Star's live right now on Youtube, this shyt is wild as fukk. Queenzflip just punked the fukk out of Lansky, lol, nikka shook to death
