Just listened to Steve Lobel on Juan Epstein. Really insightful, this dude's resume is stacked. From Pun to Run DMC to Death Row. Some cool things I didn't know:
- Bones are the only group to have been in the studio with Pac, Biggie, Eazy-E and Big Pun
- This guy really sounds like the realest dude ever, like, actually real lol he talks about meeting other white kids in NY who are into hip-hop with mentors like YG
- Talks about being in the studio with Suge and Outlawz bloods threatening him for saying the n-word and then him sonning the dude in response
- Talks saving rappers going to the hood
- Talks working with Run DMC
- Says he's had his goons take pretend blood rapper's rags and threw them in the trash
- Cipha talks Kurupt sending goons to scout out venues before he shows up
- Talks pitching Bieber to A&Rs and them saying "nah," goes on about how Bieber changed after he got the deal
- Says Mally Mall rolling around with Bieber telling him if he keeps acting the way he's acting, he's going to get raped in county jail, damn
- Yelawolf was a contestant on Missy's reality TV show back in the day? Someone needs to find footage of this.
- They talk about how certain jobs in the music industry don't exist anymore: The street team, the A&R, artist development, etc.
- Story about a shelf falling on his head at Kanye's 30th birthday party at an LV store, now his memory isn't that great (recently settled)
- Talks Pun's eating disorder, seeing him eating while getting his hair cut, doesn't believe claims of him abusing his kids and wife
- Talks handcuffing performers, handling people on stage
- "Nipsey doesn't roll with an entourage. But when I need an entourage, it's there."
Randomly on the side, Rosenberg said he was playing Bronson's Practice but when he did it the labels called him and told him to push In The City. I guess that's his single?
