Their new project The Homeland is out now.

The first artist that came into discussion was Pitbull’s interview. Jon discusses how Pitbull was one of the first rappers to mix Spanish and English rapping. “What stood out was he “really bridged crunk into reggaeton.” Additionally, he “moved on to make Spanish language records. He made hip-house records. He was doing all kinds of stuff in the 2000s and 2010s.” 

During mid-interview, Joe discloses, “We wanted each person on the list to represent either a genre, a sub-genre, an era, a region, or a specific idea that wasn’t going to overlap with the other folks.” 

Thenceforth, Joe now joins the discussion and mentions why Too $hort and Uncle Luke are considered revolutionaries for hip-hop and the culture. He explains how he “understood really early in his career, and we’re talking like 86–91, the type of music that was making needs historically, sexual funk nightclub music, or disco, or nightclub music of the 70s. They understood that they were part of a long lineage, and so Luke takes that to Supreme Court because he understands that all of hip-hop would get roasted for decades to come.” Without the perseverance of Too $hort and Uncle Luke, hip-hop wouldn’t be where it is today. 

Towards the end of the interview, Joe finishes by praising Kool Moe Dee for his impact on hip-hop. He said Dee “was looking and said, ‘How can I be that?’ but in this context, now that this new content of hip-hop has arrived, ‘How do I become that person?’ and using hip-hop as his platform to become essentially a political and social spokesperson.” As the discussion ended, other prominent artists were discussed, such as DJ Hollywood, Eminem, Azealia Banks, Busta Rhymes, Ice Spice, and many more amazing acts. Be sure to tune in to Ebro In The Morning for more content and check out New York Times articles written by Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli.

What are the top 50 songs in the history of Hip Hop?

Ebro in the Morning is looking to get to the bottom of that debate with a special programming event EVERY Thursday at 8AM EST from now until August 10!

To celebrate 50 years of Hip Hop; Ebro, Laura Stylez, Rosenberg, Shani Kulture & DJ Kast One will be nominating two songs each that day.

Each week, there will be a new theme to the debate (ex: 1996-2000, West Coast 90’s, Remixes)

YOU have full control from there! Following the show HOT 97 listeners will have until Thursday, 6:59 AM EST to debate and put in their votes. The final results will be announced every Thursday and officially added to the Top 50 list.

Just before August 11, 2023 we will add a final poll which will determine the ranking for the Top 50 Songs of All time!

Criteria:

The following breakdown will be how the Ebro in the Morning crew will be choosing their songs every week.

• Quality Of Song – Do you listen beyond the 1st verse; or to completion?
• Sustained Cultural Relevance – Does the song stand the test of time?
• Impact – How influential was the track during the time of release?
• Novelty Or Not? – Was the song a novelty song? (ex: “Ice Ice Baby”, “Can’t Touch This,” “Laffy Taffy” etc.)

Some Reminders Before We Move On:

• This is NOT a scientific poll. It is for debate, entertainment, and fun!
• We’re in New York City…so yes there will be East Coast Bias!
• IF a nominated song does not make it, it CAN be nominated again at a later date.

Watch the debate every Thursday LIVE on the HOT 97 app at 8AM EST
