Peter Rosenberg, who (among several other titles) is a co-host on Hot 97’s Ebro in the Morning, announced via his Rosenberg Radio that he had made a resolution for 2018 — releasing an album.
“I’ve had an idea about doing an album for a long time,” Rosenberg said at the top of the program, noting that he had simply been distracted until now. The project, he explained, would be a compilation.
Throughout the podcast, Rosenberg played tracks from his deep catalog, including “The Heater” by Raekwon and “Tapas” by Action Bronson (with scratches by Rosenberg).
Rosenberg has already released two mixtapes: What’s Poppin’ Vol. 1 in 2011, and The New York Renaissance in 2013. He’s worked with an impressive list of underground and (now) major acts that range from Action Bronson and Homeboy Sandman to Kendrick Lamar and Rapsody.
“I’ve always known that [with an album] I could do something special based on the relationships I’ve developed and my ear,” he said.
Though he has yet to take the album beyond the conceptual phase, he did explicitly note one goal he has.
“I want Black Thought and Chris Rivers to do ‘Super Lyrical Pt. 2,'” he said, referring to an updated version of Big Pun’s 1998 track that would feature the late MC’s rapper son.
Black Thought’s All-Time Top 5 Verses
A few other names he also seemed eager to include were Kool G Rap, Scarface, Bishop Nehru, Styles P, and Pro Era.
“I’m getting excited to put this together,” he said at the conclusion of the show. “Tell a friend to tell a friend … the album is coming soon.”

So an album full of features? What the fuck it works for everyone else?!
not exactly full of “features” as he’s not a recording artist. its a compilation album. i dont think he does beats either. pretty much him acting as an a&r type person/executive producer, like a khaled album.
Stop posting gay shit you weirdo
I would buy it
Let’s just leave super lyrical alone as Thought was the featured artist on the original. How about a part 2 of an actual beast track that Thought helmed? There’s plenty to think of. Just saying it out of respect for Pun with whom wanted to do the original with Thought out of respect for his craftsmanship.
you’re right and i agree just wanted to point out the original was supposed to be canibus and pun but conflicting schedules put it off so Black Thought did it instead
Chris Rivers aint qualified to do Super Lyrical Pt. 2
Maybe, maybe not. He’s no Pun, but the kid is nice though, much more than you can say than other rappers’ sons. Cant take that away from him. Like having Illa J in Slum Village, its no full on replacement, but I’ll take it.
Another article with yet another jevv in the music industry. Remember we are told these people make up around 2% of US population yet they are hugely over represented in the field of media, finance and entertainment. But hey keep blamin whitey, right.
Please kill yourself.
Agree with you Nadja..don’t want that moron reproducing.
Look up “the secret behind communism” Nadja. Look who were leading the bolsheviks slaughtering your people. Hint: starts with the letter j.
Look up “coping with the fact you have a micro-penis” and fuck off
If he’s doing beats, then by all means make the album. If the point is just to their together a compilation of music made by other people that you’ve put no real energy into, and he probably won’t even yell over the instrumental like Khaled does, then I just don’t see the point except a quick money grab for him.
I think hes trying to go the funkmaster flex/kay slay route with this one but good point. We shall see.
money grab? umm since when do albums actually make money? especially with such a huge guest list both of rappers and producers to pay. maybe he’s just doing it for the love- ever think of that?
So this k.yke mf basically pimping out a bunch of artists and making money off they verses? Ah some shit never changes does it?
I really don’t appreciate your anti-semitic comments. If you keep this up, you will be tracked and I guarantee that the outcome will not be in your favor. You have officially been warned. I suggest that you be careful because karma can be very unforgiving.
I do agree with the point. So you think it’s ok for this guy to piggyback and profit off black culture? These people who I can’t mention have been doing this to black entertainers for the last century. I love how if anyone is critical of Israel or these people who supposedly can’t be mentioned, then you’re labelled anti-Semetic. Btw you’re not tracking anyone you idiot. If you really are dx staff then fix your shitty comment section and use disqus, so people can be banned.
Culture is culture and people are people. Race or ethnicity doesn’t actually mean anything. Good and evil exists in all forms and people who choose to play identity politics are working to destroy humanity imo.
pimping? ummm, who said he’s gonna be getting verses and beats for free?
I get a very strong urge to pull this guys teeth out
There’s going to be a bloodbath and I am going to win no matter what I don’t want money or a contract I just wanted to be fronted like a friend because Tupac’s Back my name is the same as Shaka Zulu and I’ve been Zulu since I was 7 and I was played for Jesus and everybody wanted everything to be black and that’s what happened just because I’m making battle rap my last resort because I’ve tried everything underneath the sun to get people to understand it’s Deeper Than Rap and I couldn’t handle it in the rap game like Tupac cuz the Makaveli with me being Shaka of all this time time for when I handled what I handled that makes me Jesus as well and I ripped Detroit radio station not live with just the lady that answered and I I knew she already knew because the way she said damn who are you was a motherfuker that laced Sean Carter and Eminem and couldn’t stop so ASAP can anybody getting out to LA understand that I don’t want mine but I’m worth more than all the money rip apart because I’m a dirty bastard Baltimore gay New Orleans acting gay New York Detroit
What?
This dude is a clown, but I know that album would be full of lyricists and real Hip-Hop. Would def steal that.. Make it happen
It’ll be like a dj khaled album but with lyricists and a “slightly” less annoying dj Rosenberg.
If you don’t sit your ass down.
