In Part 2 of KickRocs’ exclusive 3-part interview with Hot97’s Program Director, we travel back to the early 1990’s where Ebro discusses what he feels are the best three consecutive years in hip-hop music history. Furthering that thought, the California native describes the geographic impact the albums from his personal hip-hop holy trinity had on the culture as a whole.
When, where and why did they term “Where Hip-Hop Lives” originate on radio? #askEbro. Being in the radio industry since 1990, Ebro vividly reflects on the landscape of the field changing as the popularity of hip-hop was propelled by the likes of Nas, NWA, Dr. Dre, Biggie and more.
After a trip down memory lane, Ebro then gives his opinions on today’s hip-hop, specifically grading the state of rap today. Is the culture “passing” right now? Press play to find out what professor Ebro thinks!
Stay tuned next week for the conclusion of our 3-part sit down with Ebro!
Interview conducted by KickRocs’ own E., filmed and edited by Nana Dadzie. Press play.
