Come…on *Rob Cordry voice*
Popular morning show jock DJ Cipha Sounds has been suspended from New York radio station Hot 97 indefinitely, over on-air comments made about Haitians.
It is not known when Cipha Sounds will return to co-host the “Cipha Sounds and Paul Rosenberg Morning Show,” where the comments were made.
Additionally, Hot 97 revealed that Cipha Sounds will immediately undertake “sensitivity training” focused on the Haitian community and the serious nature of the HIV/AIDS problem within the community.
“Cipha made an immediate public apology and recognizes his insensitivity and the negative impact his comments have on all Haitians,” said Alex Cameron, SVP/Market Manager of Emmis-New York. “The Haitian community is an important part of our listenership whom we respect and value. The suspension is an indication of the importance we place on delivering a product that respects our Haitian audience.”
Cameron expressed regret at the entire situation, because of Cipha Sounds’ involvement in helping to raise money for charity, after a deadly 7.0 earthquake ravaged the country in January. (more…)

So I understand Vibe has gotten a bunch of folks all riled up with this Greatest Producer of All Time tournament thing they’ve been running for the last couple of weeks. I don’t know, I haven’t even looked at it (I know better). In this clip, the homie’s Riggs Morales (Shady Records Director of A&R), Jerry Barrow (Nodfactor.com, former E-I-C of Scratch) and Peter Rosenberg (Hot 97) discuss the list with Black Milk and Sean C. and LV on Grind Music Radio.
This is the latest installment in Peter Rosenberg’s Noisemakers series. This one is w/Pete Rock back in NY where he discusess Eminem, working with Kanye, what Eminem did to Jay-z on Renegade, Raekwon, Ghostface, CL Smooth & more.
Rosenberg chops it up with Cole backstage at S.O.B.’s last night.
Peter and Jay discuss appropriate west coast vernacular.
In this clip Bun sits down with Peter & explains the inherent differences between himself and Pimp C and why they fit together so well because of them. What he said about laugh tracks is so true. Definitely something to think about next time you’re watching a sitcom on TV.
They talk about the origin of Jews, Jay being a space cadet, the meteoric rise of Exhibit C, manual stimulation, and more. Props to FWMJ/RappersIKnow.
