Peter Rosenberg Calls Chuck D A Twitter Troll; Chuck Responds

by Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY) 

(AllHipHop News) Hip Hop legend Chuck D has been using his Twitter page recently to takedown New York radio station Hot 97. It started when the Public Enemy frontman began commenting on Hot 97′s annual Summer Jam concert calling out the channel for creating a “sloppy fiasco” of Hip Hop culture.

Hot 97′s Peter Rosenberg has now responded to Chuck D during his segment called “The Realness.” The Morning Show host started out by stating how much he respects Chuck for his contributions to Hip Hop, but then Rosenberg accused him of “trolling” and makes a point that Chuck D is not the leader of the culture.

“Chuck D, no one elected you president of Hip Hop,” said Rosenberg. “We love you. You’re a forefather of this game, you contributed, but we did not elect you president of this culture. No one owns Hip Hop.”

Rosenberg ends the segment by asking Chuck D what he is doing to aid Hip Hop. Watch below:

“What are you doing to support this culture besides tweeting confusing messages in 140 characters of less?” asked Rosenberg. “What are you doing? Cause if all you’re doing is trolling on Twitter, you ain’t doing that much.”

Chuck D went back to Twitter to reply to Rosenberg calling him a social media troll.

Chuck D criticized the station as a whole, but he went on to defend on-air personality DJ Funkmaster Flex. He also addressed The Morning Show host Peter Rosenberg’s role at Hot 97 and got into an exchange with the channel’s former program director and This Is Hot 97 reality show star Ebro Darden. 

Chuck D is not the first Hip Hop artist to criticize Hot 97 and Ebro Darden. Last year fellow New York emcee Buckshot called Darden an “Uncle Tom” and claimed he “f**ked up” NYC Hip Hop.
