Rosenberg Radio » Juan Epstein

Yes the Lord came thru to talk about everything. He covers the  start of his career and the role Guru played in it, the creation of DITC, discovering Big L, working with Biggie, working on Chronic 2001 and Detox, and much more!

Is Laura a carhart girl?! She came by to discuss it. Plus CIPH dropped a major bomb! This little bonus turned out to be pretty serious! Full episode dropping on Wed!

The legendary producer of Warning, The What, Lifestyles of the Rich and Shameless, and many more classics came by to talk about coming up with Mister Cee, making Ready to Die, working with BIG and Pac, his relationship with Puff and much more!  

If you want an official, perfectly organized, and professional Biggie retrospective — go somewhere else. If you want to hear great stories and factoids from Ciph, opinions and memories from me, and a great call from Lord Finesse — listen to this!!

Happy #TBT !! The snow pushed back a MAJ Juan Ep which will be recorded next week. In the mean time, for the new heads who have never heard it and the OGs who haven’t heard it in a minute — here is the first Juan Ep ever from 2007! Awkward!

We are a week away from one of the biggest Juan Eps of all time so this week Ciph and I just got together to catch up and talk. We talked about Carhart girl, Ciph’s new life, my first trip to London which is this weekend, Common and John Legend’s Oscar win, and the gift I gave my brother for his birthday. Just some classic Juan Ep for you guys….

Jersey Joe aka Joey Jumpoff stopped by and was much more chipper than usual! Why? Well it sounds like Joe is joining the podcast world which is going to be MAJ. But he also just was in the mood to shoot the breeze and catch up. He also brought our psychotic friend Marissa Mendez who you may remember from the end of 2014 episode. Enjoy!

Rapper, instagram star, beef jerky model, handsome devil. He is all of these things. He has also been my bud for several years. Meet the Fat Jew. He tells us how it all happened, what celebs follow him, which celeb he may have sex with soon, and an amazing Kanye West story. Good morning!

Ignore the troll from Ciph. Juan Ep returns with another state of the union. We also talk about my father’s obsession with Gideon Yago, cursing too much, and some solutions to Juan Ep’s financial questions. plus phone calls to Donald Glover’s manager, Fam, Nore (who was ACTUALLY on the run), and Questlove’s voicemail.

There is a lot happening at the station and with Nessa starting the afternoon shift on Monday at 3 pm, where does that leave Juan? We discuss all of that, Ciph’s weight loss, and much more on a NO GUEST Juan Ep!

We’re back for the 2015 and ish is about to go to another level. Let’s start off with one of the greatest producers ever! You knew this guy was great, but you didn’t know how great his story is and just how many hits he’s made. Kick back and enjoy the first Juan Ep of 2015!

To close out the year, Ciph and I just sat down and did some catching up. For everyone out there who likes us for the same reasons you like other hip hop podcasts who came after us–this podcast is not for you. This is for the Juan Eppers who want to hear Ciph and I talk that shit. We did get to some actual topics like the Azealia vs Iggy situation, our feelings on J Cole, Ciph’s bike getting stolen, and we answered lots of listener mail. 80 min of Juan on Juan (Epstein). Happy holidays (or nah) !!!

Plus Adrian Younge…. PRHYME is one of the best albums of the year so to celebrate we had Royce, Primo, and Adrian come by to talk about it, their history together, and Primo’s history in general. As we discuss on the show, this will be the first of several DJ Premier episodes, but still it was a nice start nonetheless. The show begins with just Ciph and I talking shit but the guys show up at around the 30 minute mark. Some highlights include awesome Group Home stories, issues between Puff and Jeru, and much more. Happy holidays from Juan Ep!!!  

Today is a rough day. If you want to ignore the pain of the world today and grab a few laughs–check this out…..RIP Michael Brown… Chris Rock’s awesome new movie, Top 5, is in theaters on December 5th. To celebrate, our number 1 fan and the film’s music guru, ?uesto, brought the BK legend and hip hop aficionado by to talk about the movie, his incredible hip hop history, and just how highly he ranks Kanye in his own top five.

Ok this is a really special podcast. For starters, No I.D. is an amazing interview and his story is incredibly inspirational. Also Ciph was called into some Hot Mixer’s meeting and my old cohost and dear friend Quartermaine happened to be visiting so he jumped in for Ciph. No I.D. goes through who his entire career, discusses the ups and downs with Common, and breaks down his incredible history with Kanye. ENJOY!
