Race Debates.
After laying low this year, Macklemore returned to Hot 97 to cap off 2014. He spoke on all things racial, Grammys, Kendrick Lamar, J.Cole, new music, and recent conversations surrounding Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks.
i have mad respect for macklemore after this interview, everything he said was on point.
people just ain’t listening.
son an hour plus? am i missing something or did the nigga go to mit??
SHUT UP YOU ‘OL WHITEWASHED BUFFOON!!!! ONLY NEGRO THAT’S BLASTIN’ MACKLEMORE IN QUEENS!!!! FUCKBOY!!!!
……..HA!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
i didn’t read any opinion in this comment
i thought i took the mistletoe off my dick already.
THESE HOMO COMMENTS ARE GETTIN’ OUTTA CONTROL, BRIAN!!!! YOU NEED A SHRINK TO FIGURE OUT YOUR SEXUAL ORIENTATION!!!!
………….HA!!!! YOU SICK FUCK!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
this dude is on his best behavior, dont be fooled..
“don’t be fooled”… what is that supposed to mean? FOH
what i mean is hes the type to get out of this interview and get on the phone in his limo and say “yeah that fucking nigger ebro was really trying to get me to say the wrong thing, hes a fucking prick”…
nigga shut up you don’t know this man
im giving you facts…
There is nothing whatsover that supports your perspective on that.
Did you watch the interview? It was genuine.
The dude’s a little corny, but he’s genuine.
it honestly seems like hes not being real and saying what he actually wants to say, hes being very careful to be politically correct, im not saying i blame him at all these days, but its clear as dayy..
Ppl who hate on him are just being ignorant. It’s like the cops. do we really hate all of them or is it the system? Iggy now is a different story cuz she capitalizes off taking a black style. Mack isn’t acting like anybody but himself.
I’m a huge fan of The Breakfast Club, but if Hot97 continues these types of interviews, 2015 is going to be all Hot97.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Lol almost feel sorry for the Laura girl…she looks uncomfortable and scared to ask questions…the pretty darkskin chick does well …”D digital” l i think her name is…
Agree. This is a knowledgable interview that the breakfast club would never have. (Hence the kanye interview) smart conversation goes over charlemagne and envy’s heads.
CThaGod is there for the Lulz but he be saying some real shit tho but sometimes but J.Cole interview with Angie went well imagine if he was at breakfast club. Shit would of been terrible.
Agreed.
Charlamagne is a smart dude and has the ability to provide a great interview, but he’s more worried about the headline and hits. DJ Envy is a hustler and that’s cool, but he’s not the brightest person. You can tell by the questions he asks and how he forms those questions. Angela Yee is there mainly for the gossip and who the guest has slept with.
2014 had some good interviews, no doubt. I just wish there were more in depth interviews and less of the giggling and “I heard a rumor…” stuff.
Agreed! This was a great interview. And this particular conversation always makes me think about how the Beastie Boys’ skin color has never really been questioned bc of their authenticity and respect for the culture (Rest In Peace MCA)
Great comment sir…. And i totally agree with you, The Breakfast Club better get some serious topics, or the HOT 97 Morning Show will be back on top in 2015. Also Laura Stylez is not needed.
Laura is there for other purposes she should be like Yee and do the rumor report or some women gossip shit.
laura is useless most of the time..she just throws in a random comment from time to time and makes the convo go off on some tangent that only staff at hot97 can understand, leaving the listener and artist totally lost
Laura is only there to ask rappers relationship questions if needed. Otherwise she doesnt really do much. Ebro constantly makes reference to her boobs so I guess there’s that too.
“charlamagne tha god” is a mouth breathing uncle tom.
the next smart thing he says will be his first
My man – great comment. My Hot97 really has stepped up in 2014 mainly due to the perspective and intelligence that Ebro has brought to the show. His intelligent, very funny most of the times and willing to discuss issues. Plus he interacts heavily on social media. Rosenberg is slowly stepping his game but plays his position essentially as Ebro’s sideman pretty well. His relationships with a broad range of artists certainly helps the sheer number of guests that come to the show. My problem with the Breakfast Club is that it seems like they have had a real drop in the number of quality guests that come to the show. Most of the good guests seem to gravitate towards Angie and they get stuck with comedians and well basically c listers. They’re are a number of noticeable good ones but the numbers dropped. Plus there’s an Issue with Charlamagne.. he used to be really funny…now well listen to his podcast … I don’t want to say his a coon or uncle tom but i’m really struggling with a different word to use. His slowly been coming across as excessively subservient to perceived authority figures e.g mainstream white culture. He literally spends his time insulting black people while been patted on the back by his racist white co-hosts.(on his podcast) Or agreeing with sentiments his racist white co hosts say about black people speaking out on issues regarding racism, police brutality, prejudice etc. Anyway -I know Hot97 and breakfast club people read this shit – HOT97 well done for stepping up your game – Breakfast club your slipping and might lose the lead you worked hard to build up.
I agree 100%! Great comment as well.
I agree with you except the chick provides a good counterpoint, attracts identification for a different demographic , and can pick up the ball if it gets dropped
Iggy Azalea said Q-Tips Twitter Hip hop lesson was patronizing because apparently she knows and was raised on hip hop…. So I just wanna know…
How much you gotta know about hip hop to not call yourself a runaway slave master on a record as a blonde white woman?
Great point
i can’t believe she had the audacity to say that to QTIP…Qtip is the nicest fuckin guy in the industry and hes in the UZN – its literally his job to step in and educate everybody on the history of the culture
so why aint he tweeting at chief keef, migos or bobby shmurda?
he did tweet at migos, he said he fucked with them
dope interview
I don’t know, I just don’t dig this individual… I don’t know what it is, but it is what it is. I shall say no more and get outta here 😀
Only retards putting Mack and Iggy in the same box.
**Waits for Macklemore to drop that pro-black-anti-cop-pop-rap-smash-hit-grammy-award-winning-amazing-music-video-song**
bruh and best believe he’s gonna cry and kiss a black baby in it, and he’ll go on and win another grammy..
In slow motion too! But the thing is it’ll be better than any song on the topic from anyone else.
cuz he prolly got a whole ghostwriting team!!loll
LOL!!! I think he’s genuine but it’s funny because I know it’s coming!
I’m not about to sit and watch this white rapper interview for hr,he’s no Eminem sorry.
who cares?
you white?>you his stan? you wanna fk him?you care obviously because you asking me ” who cares”?
its a really good conversation…play it at 1.5x or 2x speed if you don’t wanna watch for an hour
poor kid. all he wants to do is make music but niggas keep fuckin with him. hip hip is bigger than one color skin
“You can be a black man and lose all your soul
You can be white and groove but don’t crap the roll”
the cultures for everybody who respects it and has love for the roots
Word
We do have white rappers performing for all white audiences about white issues, case in point Hoodie Allen.
fuck that fratboy
No you fuck him!
I still think Azealia Banks was crying cause the sting from watching her enemy have a smash hit before her was just too much. I don’t buy her whole social conscious reasoning.
idunno bout Azealia’s intentions, but at least she caused the interview to get like 1.5million views and opened up the conversation
True.
FACTS. Azealia Banks is a negro bedwench too & is not authentic. All she does is troll on Twitter then throws in some fake concerned black activism.
Really good way of putting it. If she was so concerned about black activism she would be doing it in a more responsible way and not trolling fucking Action Bronson on twitter.
Facts. And another thing about her is she openly admits to having sex with mostly older white men. That alone discredits everything she speaks.
Also I heard her album on Spotify and shit sounded like it was custom made for gay European men. So please don’t talk that black power rhetoric.
accurrate
INACCURATE!!!! YOU’RE WHITE WASHED!!!! JUST WAITIN’ ON AZELEA TO SHIT ON YOUR COON ASS!!!!
……….HA!!!! YOU SHOE SHININ’ BLOGGER!!!! SHE GON’ ETHER YOU LIKE T.I.!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Nope. That was so genuine, agree or disagree with her perspective. She was straight fire when she was roasting T.I and Iggy both times she broke is when she was talking about whites trying to take black music away. She feels that and many other do as well.
Nobody wanna hear Rosenberg’s sob stories.
Comparing Kendrick’s “I” to Mack’s hits. C’mon man!
theyre similar tbh
ELVIS IS IN THE BUILDING READY TO TAKE WHAT HE THINKS IS HIS!!!!
#ELVIS
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Damn. Another interview from Hot 97. Please stay in that lane….its great!
never hated mack but I’m glad he has a realistic view of who he is. dope interview
Fk ya feelings!! This bama sux donkey nuts $$
HANDS DOWN THE TOP 3 MUSIC INTERVIEWS FOR 2K14 GLOBALLY WAS ON HOT97 WIT EBRO KEEP IT THORO GR8 JOB MY G = A BANKS, RYAN LESLIE, & MAC ,,ANY ORDER , , FYI #JMJ ROC BB RR D BLK 4LA KING 88
jcole on angie was top3 too though
Great interview. .. album still trash. .
Only thing I hate what Macklemore did was apologize for winning grammy he should of accept it and told everyone go fuck themselves.
imagine the reaction that would happen then
Awesome interview
I like his music but Macklemore corny as hell.
Another case of me enjoying a rapper’s insight and interviews more than their actual music.I respect Macklemore though. Seems like a genuine guy. Black or not, we need more genuine dialogue in hip-hop.
Hip-Hop (next to Punk Rock and Soul) is like the only genre right now that’s still rooted in social action. Issues like race, sexual orientation, gender inequality and sometimes religion are only really talked about in hip-hop. This is why I love the culture.
Ebro talks too much we didn’t tune in to listen to you, facilitate the interview don’t spend 5 minutes telling us what you told us in the other interview
Apart from the “Thrift Shop” I was unfamiliar with Macklemore’s work. After the interview, I did listen to snippets. The Heist is actually an enjoyable album.
The interview was good, I just hope Ebro didn’t talk too much. He sometimes act like the interviewee instead of the interviewer. Other than nice interview.
