The Combat Jack Show

Lord Jamar talks Brand Nubian, the role that Grand Puba played in the beginning of the group, left them for dead and how the remaining Nubians were able to create the classic 'In God We Trust' album. We also talk 5 Percenter history and where the nation is in 2014. Finally we tackle his controversial views on gays and whites in hip hop. It ain't pretty and this is an official disclaimer that Lord Jamar's views aren't shared by The Combat Jack Show. But as always, its nothing but #Newmanati.

This week, Cipha Sounds from Hot 97 and Juan Epstein dropped by and shared his history from being Lil Kim's DJ to opening up for Funk Master Flex at the Tunnel.

When I met Bobbito back in 1989, when we were both interns at Def Jam, I never imagined dude to be facing such an illustrious career.

As you might have heard, Shots Fired, the iconic LA podcast staring Jeff Weiss and MC Nocando, is the latest addition to the LoudSpeakers Podcast Network. A couple of months ago Combat and Pete sat down with Jeff, aka Passion of the Weiss, and chopped it up regarding his book Tupac Vs Biggie: An Illustrated History of Rap's Greatest Battle, his podcast, whether white boys are running hip-hop journalism and insights into Jay's MCHG album. Not to mention a walk down memory lane through the golden age of hip-hop blogs.

Its a New Year and Dallas Penn doesn't show up because he's not effn with Rap Genius. Is it because they're perpetual douche bags? Is it because they got a slap on the wrist from Google after they cooked their SEO books? Who the fux are these guys and why do they continue to piss the rap and tech and business world off? After getting through mad bullshit, we finally get some candid talk from these #Fuckybergs.

Happy New Year!!!! It's a new year with new goals to achieve, new challenges to overcome. But before we move on, we absolutely have to look back at the greatness that was 2013.
