Juan Epstein

Joe Budden was the special guest on Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg‘s Juan Epstein podcast this week (along with ME!), and had an announcement about a podcast of his own. Joey and I will be launching our own weekly podcast this week…which I think we named ‘I’ll Name This Show Later With Joe Budden.’ Stay tuned!

Aside from the announcement, we also talked about Joey selling stolen computers as a teenager, drugs he did back in the day, our friendship and why we’d NEVER have sex (gross,) All-Star plans and more. Listen up below.

(Video) Iggy Azalea Calls Hot 97 “Shady;” Hot 97 Morning Show Responds

Peter Rosenberg x Marisa Mendez

An interview that Iggy Azalea did with GQ last week quoted her as saying she “sparked a change” in hip-hop, naturally prompting some rather hilarious responses from both haters and supporters of the Australian raptress. It was quite a bold statement…as well as one that may not necessarily be accurate…and a ton of reaction memes immediately surfaced afterward.

Hot 97′s Ebro shared one of his own after HipHopWired asked for faces of your reaction to the quote, posting an adorable “FOH” face that his newborn daughter had once made. This set the always-outspoken Iggy off on a little tirade, calling Hot 97 “shady,” amongst other things. In response, Ebro and his morning show co-hosts Peter Rosenberg and Laura Stylez let her know how they really feel. Check out what they said below.

Who do you side with in this one? I’m on the fence. Personally, I feel that Iggy IS attacked WAY more than the average celeb…but I also feel like she needs to quit crying about EVERY situation.

I accidentally walked in on Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg while they were recording the 2014 finale of their Juan Epstein podcast, so of course I had to add a few gems. In between talks of Iggy Azalea vs. Q-Tip/the world, police brutality and fan questions, I discussed my recent adventures in the bedroom and other lovely things of that nature.

Not that I needed a reason to head to my second home, but being that Cipha and Drewski had already planned this trip – I decided to tag along. My first day there I hit Six Flags Magic Mountain with my homie JP and then linked with Cipha to head over to the UCB Theater where he guest-hosted that night’s improv show. I got to meet Zach Woods from The Office and Lauren Lapkus from Orange Is The New Black! So dope!

After that, we hit the Young California HQ with DJ Carisma and Abby De La Rosa, and then Belasco for Wiz’s show with Ty Dolla $ign…and they had the kid on the red carpet! No idea what I was talking about. LOL!
