This past weekend I had Tracy Morgan’s comedy CD on blast during my trip to Ann Arbor (which btw was great fun with the homies (II) but the loss was depressing). Too many classic lines from that comedy album:
“…his jaw like a cash register”
“…his leg was BLOW’DOFF!”
“…don’t c*m in my mouth, Tracy!”
“I no come back!”
JGilla was nice enough to send over an article where they spent a meal/evening with the NY times for an interview. Classic material (C) LONS. Also, coincidentally, Tracy was on Cipha & Rosenberg this morning with Darryl from the office. Hilarious show. Enjoy!
Man love at its best. Please stop by Ciph & Rosenberg and congratulate them for getting over things. First parts are manly sentimental. Second half will make you hate Ebro and Rico. Topics of discussion - love of self, tardiness, wackness, and virtue of selfishness.
So, this afternoon I was wondering why Peter hadn’t posted the most recent Cipha Sounds & Rosenberg show on Rosenbergradio.com. My plan B is always to check Ciph’s page. And that’s when Ciph declared Juan Epstein was DEAD. Now, my initial reaction was that this was joke b/c back in June they kinda pulled this shit on us, we the loyal JE fans. But after listening to the show, things definitely got heated. Now I know Peter - we aren’t college roommates/best friend status - but I know him well enough to say he’s a stand-up dude who is not perfect like the rest of us but does mean well in everything that he does. And I don’t know Ciph but he seems to me to be a dude that lives in a Black & White world that if you abide his rules and codes, life is cool. When you don’t, shit gets hectic. So listening to them argue on the air was painful. Ciph was first to post about it stopping JE altogether and thus, Peter (in my opinion) is getting the most heat. I checked in with Peter to see if this was just radio drama or the real deal and he confirmed its real. I think issues btw the two were brought to the surface in an unhealthy manner in which their producer and boss should have just shut it down and let it be discussed offline. Now, people who looked to them for entertainment and even a little of the hip-hop nerd in ourselves in somebody else will have to go somewhere else for that satisfaction. Like I would with my brothers, I hope they patch things up and realize that $150 is not that big enough of an issue to end a buddening relationship and to deny the world the greatness of Juan Epstein. Just my thoughts..
On a mission to help Peter and Cipha reach 30,000 listeners by next week. Who’s in? I got Amart hooked and I know DFLO listens on Itunes. Where are the rest of the KTL readers? All 5 of you, I know you’re out there. And if you don’t know, now you do. “Rockin the W” is going to be the new Rogaine ad slogan.
Cipha just gave y’all the new Bape Mix for April. GREAT FIRST SONG! Can’t front on the man’s skills on the decks. FYI - Bape is invading LA. Not sure on the hype around $85 t-shirts and expensive AF1 knockoffs but can’t knock the hustle. I got the Batman shirt this summer.
Pete Rosenberg and Cipha Sounds have asked for their faithful listeners to spread the word about the best podcast in the universe. Since I was a fan from the beginning and trying to work my way onto their blogroll or a shout out, I am encouraging for you to visit, listen, and comment. And if you are late to the process, check out the previous episodes.
So around Thanksgiving last year, I stumbled upon Juan Epstein after watching some Pete Rosenberg videos. I must say, they have been consistently entertaining and enlightening with their podcasts as Conan, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Dane Cook are with their material. I finally feel like I have some DJ celebrities who think like me. Although, I am not a promoter, I will work my hardest to get them to LA or SF by 2009. That and I am just trying to get on their blogroll. Thanks for making each episode memorable and laughable guys! Quote of the year: “Never trust a creature that bleeds for 5 days and doesn’t die” - Cipha Sounds on Juan Epstein #12.
Cipha Sounds is quickly becoming one of my favorite hip-hop personalities and DJs. I had to post this because I like seeing a real moment between two of the homies. Ciph and PMD - thanks for the JP episodes and the real discussion about “DJs who open” on JP 10. I was guessing right along with you on the BPM quizzes. Source: BGDB.
