VIDEO: Angie Martinez Explains Move To Rival Radio Station

Image
Angie Martinez publicly made her first response as to why she left Hot 97 after 15 years for rival station Power 105.1 and sister company Miami's The Beat 103.5 last week. In the interview with her new colleagues The Breakfast Club Angie speaks on her decision and why it was best for her family as well as why she's not disloyal. "It's business and people leave jobs all the time. I'm not disloyal at all. I have always been extremely loyal. I put -I don't know how many years of my life- down for that company. Even the highest of higher ups –which is when I went to make the phone call when I decided to take this amazing offer that I got. They said [executives] you’ve served this company so well [and for] so many years, I can do nothing but wish you well. “It was no –how dare you? Why would you leave us? There was not –it was emotional and sad, Angie Martinez continued. “But nobody was angry. Nobody felt like I was doing the wrong thing. Everyone said th...

Angie Martinez Joins The Power 105 Family

Image
I was right yesterday!! Angie Martinez abruptly resigned from her role as Hot 97's first lady after 15 years yesterday to join the station's rival station Power 105.1 FM which hosts shows like The Breakfast Club, DJ Clue and DJ Prostyle . Not to be forgotten even though it's not as juicy as the Power 105 move but Angie will also be able to be heard on Miami's The Beat on 103.5 FM as well. Angie will claim the 2 pm slot on Power 105.1 and next week (June 24) in the AM you can catch her on The Breakfast Club for a little family get together/chit chat.

Angie Martinez Suddenly Resigns From Hot 97

Image
Today I resigned from HOT97. I am grateful to the Emmis family for my time with the company and the immeasurable way that it has shaped my life. We made history together in so many ways and I will cherish those memories and my friendships forever. This was one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make but ultimately it is time to move on, to grow and to be challenged in new ways. Saying goodbye is always emotional and bitter sweet but I am extremely excited about the future. Thank you HOT97 and most importantly....the listeners... for an unimaginable journey. Today will be my last show ❤️ stay tuned.... Love, angie Instagram For the longest time I thought Angie Martinez was the illest and only dope chick behind the mic on the radio and I didn't even live in NYC. Although I now know that to not be true I still consider her to be one of the greats...I know there is some fuel behind this fire. Ebro (program director) is hinting as if something went down and he i...

Yes, Onika!!

I have an obsession with all things beautifully pleasing to the eye...I am NOW a fan Ms. Minaj. I may have to buy Nicki's new shit...sounds like she's ready to go full on hip hop. Source Pics: Instagram

VIDEO: Angie Martinez Interviews Kanye West AND Kim Kardashian

Image
Awwwwww , their first interview together... Listen to Kanye West rant and rave over Kim Kardashian so much that it's uncomfortable to watch. Also, right before Kanye tells us why she is the most beautiful person beyond this world...literally...listen to Kim explain why she went Instagram gangstah on Katie Couric When Kanye shits on the producers of Keeping Up With The Kardashians  was it me or did Kim seem disturbed? I'm not buying this...they both seem like they're trying to make themselves believe what is really happening right now. It's great to see a guy admire his woman but Kanye is acting like he just discovered the Earth featured beautiful women and Kim looks as if she's being held hostage. And when did Kanye get so fuckin' corny?! I hope they don't make these dual interviews a ritual...

                                                                 Fame Flynet   Jennifer Hudson sat down with Angie Martinez over at Hot 97 in NYC to most notably promote her new holiday film 'B lack Nativity ' where she ventured to the topic of her  fiancé  David Otunga's Twitter beef with rapper Wale. On her husband David Otunga’s Twitter beef with Wale:  “I don’t know what that was, but yes, I think he did [beef]. David, get your ass off of Twitter. Go sit down, David. What are you doing? I have to work with these people.” Be sure to check out Jennifer tonight on Watch What Happens Live at 11pm on Bravo. Source

AUDIO: Teyana Taylor Talks Beef With Rihanna On Hot 97

When did radio stations get so catty? Money (and popularity) talks...Teyana will be crowned irrelevant for this interview that also doubles as FREE PRESS. Get it, gurl!

VIDEO: Solange Says Beyonce Almost Getting Yanked Off Stage Was "Scary" For her

Image
Solange has been doing a bit of press this week including BET's  106 & Park  and the below interview with Hot 97. During the interview Solange  chopped it up with Ebro and Rosenberg about her Nas obsession, relationship with Jay Z , her recent gig at a laundry mat and most notable her sister Beyonce 's (ironic, huh?) recent run in with a fan which almost caused her to be yanked into a crowd of her fans during a Brazil concert last weekend. Check it out. Solo seems realllllly laid back...

AUDIO: Hot 97 DJ Mister Cee Admits To Transgender Escapades + Resigns

Image
Yesterday we found out that Mister Cee was yet again  seeking out  a prostitute making the reveal his fourth public dealing with situation. AUDIO: Mister Cee Exposed AGAIN With Transgender Prostitute Later in the day Mister Cee resigned from his duties at Hot 97 yet it was this morning that he admitted to his personal issues (receiving fellatio from transgender prostitutes) on the radio. BTW, what Ebro calls a second time is actually his second time talking about the subject not his public run-ins. I commend him for coming clean yet I feel the way that this is coming out, via the radio, is simply an attempt to distance the DJ from the station even with the support of his colleagues.

VIDEO: Miley Cyrus Stops By Hot 97

Image
Miley Cyrus is yet again single-handedly (with the help of a few rappers) tried to take over the urban market with her presence this time stopping by Hot 97 studios to sit down with Ebro , Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg . My gosh this girl is freakin' gorgeous!! Why is Miley promoting so heavily without a release date? Is ratchet Miley a summer thing or an urban market catcher THEN on the other fans? Anywho, where's K. Foxx ? I heard she was fired but her face is still on the intro. Oh BTW, I though Ebro hated all fuckery? I guess Miley gets a pass... I need a Miley Cyrus visit to The Breakfast Club in the near future.

Hot 97's Summer Jam 2013

Image
I've never really been big on the Summer Jam scene nor have I ever posted that much about the annual concert thrown by NYC radio station Hot 97 and this year was no different. I will say however the Nicki Minaj fall out from last year and her reconciliation with the station this year have kept me in the know as far as when the event kicks off but other than that nothing. This weekend marked the 20th anniversary of the famed event Miss Minaj along with hip hop's top acts made appearances this past Sunday which seemed to go on without a hitch. While I haven't posted any of the many videos here I will post a few that have been getting a little buzz for the viewing pleasure of liked minded individuals such as myself. And speaking of like minded individuals, blogger and hip hop connoisseur  Karen Civil  had a a write up posted to her Living Civil   site   by one of her contributors which was actually in my mind a one of kind recap featuring the not so great ...

Nicki Minaj Settles Beef With Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg

Image
Do you guys remember when Nicki Minaj opted out of performing at last year's Hot 97 Summer Jam concert? Nicki Minaj bails on fans at Summer Jam concert Nicki decided not to hit the stage when HOT 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg dissed Nicki as not being a hip hop artist but moreso of a pop artist which prompted Lil Wayne to make the decision for Nicki not to go on stage. Now that was last summer but late last year Peter and program director over at Hot 97 Ebro Darden had more jokes when one of Nicki's reloaded and resold Roman albums didn't sell that well prompting Nicki to ask Ebro not to play her music anymore. Audio of Nicki and Ebro Today a sorta reluctant Nicki Minaj met up face to face on air with Peter and Ebro to squash their issues. "To me you don't have enough of a resumé to make those comments." - NM Was this necessary? This was too much ass kissing for me. I know the station needed to make amends with Nicki but could it have been l...

VIDEO: Ciara Talks Rihanna & Future In More Messy Interviews

Image
I'd much rather hear about Ciara's fifth studio album which has been renamed ' Ciara ' from ' One Woman Army ' and moved up to a June 4 release just this week. Instead, I'm hearing about Future and his talents, her relationship with 50 Cent ( she talked about it ) and Rihanna . I don't know which was worse, the topics of choice or the sideline commentary from the interviewers. This MTV Week In Jams interview was wayyyy too messy for an atrist like Ciara...she should know better. Where is Ciara's publicist to demand no more Rihanna questions or times really that hard? That was messy....

AUDIO: Ray J Explains "I Hit It First" Track

His clown ass denies that this song is about Kim Kardashian ... How am I suppose to believe him when the track picture is a blurred photo of Kim? Of course Ray J is Charlamagne of The Breakfast Club's "Donkey of the Day". Very well put and deserving for Ray J... Source

VIDEO: Winter Ramos ALSO Slept With Swizz Beatz While He Was Married...

Image
I hope that if not already one day Mashonda will realize that Swizz Beatz was just a dog that she needed to let out. Check out this delusional as interview with Winter Ramos over at Hot 97 where she is still trying to justify her book about being a low budget groupie whore. I wonder if Winter's relationship  with Swizz was before or after he cheated with Alicia Keys...?

VIDEO: Winter Ramos Is Pregnant + Talks About 'Love & Hip Hop' Season 3 Reunion Details

Image
I'm over all the Love & Hip Hop Season 3 reunion scuffle talk but I still listen...I'm just nosee like that. Anywho, Love & Hip Hop  cast member  Winter Ramos confirms in this interview what we all knew, which is the reunion show got crazy, but she gives a few more details you may like and best of all the authoress who claims to have had sex with 250 + confirmed she is 4 months pregnant. Check out Winter's Hot 97 interview. I wouldn't be surprised if this reunion never airs...

Love & Hip Hop: Joe Budden Speaks On Alleged Fight With Consequence

Image
I think most of us have heard about the Joe Budden altercation with cast mate Consequence at the Love & Hip Hop Season 3 reunion earlier this week. Joe Budden alleged that Consequence sucker punched him while smoking with Tahiry during a reunion break  then Tahiry in turn hit Consequence and he ran. I have no idea where this stemmed from because Joe calmly checked him weeks ago and everything seemed squashed but it's being reported that things got heated during the taping of the reunion. During break Tahiry & I were headed outside to smoke.. Dude came behind, jumped & hit me as I’m walking away, Tahiry snuffs him, he runs….. — Joe Budden (@JoeBudden) March 12, 2013 It was the most pussy display ever seen from a nigga to be quite honest… & it’s all on tape, so y’all can see the pussy shit 4 yourself. — Joe Budden (@JoeBudden) March 12, 2013 Then some footage of Cons being jumped in the street after taping was shown... And now w...

AUDIO: MTV's 'Hottest MCs List' Angered Kanye West

Image
Maybe I need to know their definition of hot? Is it like dope? Getting money? Influential? Always being talking about? I mean, I know it's definitely note lyrical content or monetary. Check out the FULL list below: 1. Kendrick Lamar  2. 2 Chainz 3. Rick Ross 4. Nas 5. Drake  6. Big Sean 7. Kanye West  8. A$AP Rocky  9. Future 10. Meek Mill I never agree with these lists but   MTV's Hottest MCsVIII list is in shambles this go around. How in the hell is 2 Chainz number 2 when I could give you about 4 other people hotter and better than him and 2 aren't even that on this list? Let me hush...and let 'Ye handle this.   Now I agree with Kanye but it's all about his delivery. He's been wildin' lately and this call to DJ Enuff over at Hot 97 so wasn't necessary coming from an artist of his caliber. I hope this was simply a bad case of drunk dialing and the majority of shit he was saying he didn't even mean. Lil Wayne the best? ...

VIDEO: Consequence & Jen The Pen Still Explaining (&Apologizing)

Image
The below video is the same day that a calm yet bat shit crazy Joe Budden came to Hot 97 to confront Consequence  and (and Jen chimed in) on a few things he heard Consequence had said about him. Well after explaining to Joe, Consequence went on to do some more explaining to the Hot 97 crew about why he's so dayum wild and why he went of like he did on air with The Breakfast Club . Consequence even apologized for the things he said about Kim Kardashian while on air and cleared the record as to who paid for his teeth. He's still stirring up shit with this interview so now we have to be on the look out for the next explanation and apology video.

VIDEO: Tyler, The Creator (& Crew) Stop By Hot 97

Image
I try, I really do, to get Tyler, the Creator's music because I think personally he's pretty cool and hilarious when not crossing the line but I just don't get it. Anywho, this video over at HOT 97 is beyond hilarious (to me) as Tyler talks about his first trip to the Grammys, Frank Ocean, and racism all while watching Maury with his homeboys Jasper and Taco. Tyler stopped by Jimmy Fallon last night to perform as well. Tyler's album Wolf drops April 2. video courtesy NBC
