THE FATE OF JUAN EPSTEIN
There have been a lot of people hitting me up about juan epstein and not letting it die. I really didn’t care, but this one below made me think. I guess I gotta swallow my pride )pause and see if Rosenberg wants to do anymore and we will see what happens. Hey… Sting hated Andy and Stewart but they still sold out stadiums. I guess I gotta get my “Sting” on.
PS …. I don’t care if you hate on me but can you stop writing comments under my name. That’s fucking GAY!!!!!!!

takes a big man to swallow pride…very few in hip hop (and the world in general) have the self-confidence to do so, especially publicly like this…so props…

if a west coast DJ and fellow blogger who has turned on hundreds to the greatness of Juan Epstein can have any influence, we at Know The Ledge would want you guys to get back together. I really feel you two underestimate the impact that you two guys have on the hip-hop nerd world. So if you two can work shit out, that would be dope. heck, i’m sure me and couple of guys would fly you out to Cali so we could moderate the conversation – if needed! time to squash the internet beef Saigon and Just Blaze style.

Yo Ciph,
On some real shit! Yall have done some of the best interviews in history with the cats that people like us really wanna hear. I was excited because I finally found a spot where people think like I do…..I feel you on loyalty and truth with your peoples but keep in mind the Historic shit yall are doing. I mean what the fuck man, Qtip, Pete rock, Fat Joe? Classic!!!!! Im waiting on Primo!!! you gotta do this for HIP HOP man…Im subjected to so much crap in the spots I DJ now, that its a breath of fresh air when I can catch a ill interview with The fuckin Serato Guys???? Are you kidding me, you gotta keep that shit going for as long as you can….Yall are important whether you know it or not! DO it live ! Fuck It!! And we need that primo Interview!!! And the Q tip pt.2!!!!
peace yo

i was actually in turkey at the beach and started listening to your podcast. I told Rosenberg about it and he said “spread the word” so i did… and i got back home to switzerland (big up to swiss juanito!) and now you guys wanna tell me its over??? Get your Sting on!! Please!
plus i’m not a nerd and i still listen to your shit…
Sophia - September 8, 2008 at 2:34 pm |
good news ciph…the man fans couldnt let Juan Epstein just die out like that…its a MOVEMENT…1 VOLUME
Beat Pharmacist - September 8, 2008 at 2:54 pm |
YO.
im from germany.
same for me.
i really didnt follow the whole incident.
thats what i heard. i thought ” when keepin it real goes wrong”

i know thats not what caused it ultimatly but man…
not every was raised after some NY-hood-ethics.

so much fun, so much information, so much life.

PEACE.
One.
rearviewradio - September 8, 2008 at 3:07 pm |
first episode you guys do on the return should be another discussion of where you guys are going, and the latarian wii beef. squash your beef, but please record it so we can hear it too!
i loved the juan ep when you guys spent the entire time working through your problems with each other.
PRIME MINISTER PETE NICE - September 8, 2008 at 3:13 pm |
yo, i’m from LA, CA all day, and i got females from Sacramento and Los Angeles listening to the podcast and wondering why the hell i don’t keep them updated with the morning show scoop. you hear me? FEMALES from cali!!!! i even have one female listen to the fat joe show TWICE! because she wanted to hear joe talk about back in the day stuff. then she listened to the qtip show and yall mentioned Ebro and SHE KNOWS HIM…she even is willing to call juan ep and talk trash about Ebro. they even are saying i like turtles and i love to do bad things of course, i give them the business…heh
regend - September 8, 2008 at 3:15 pm |
Yo Ciph, be the bigger man (pause) and keep it movin. It’s not like you askin Epstein to be the Godfather of ya first born child….You see how he is and let it be. When it comes to money issues fall back and be like, ” I already know how you do and I don’t want nothin to do with it.” Keep it Strictly business….Side Bar: I went to a retreat for work last Friday and had to stand up in front of my whole company and introduce myself and state one thing that my co-workers may not know about me….I got up at the podium and introduced myself, as for something that they may not know about me: I said “I like turtles”….My department started crackin up but the rest of the organization had no clue what was goin on. I didn’t realize that everday when i listen to the morning show, or the days that there is a new Juan Epstein that everyone listens along from my computer speakers. It honestly makes every morning that much better….So to see it all go down the drain cause you had your period last week(constructive criticism) is a damn shame…All I’m askin is to think it over, sit down with Rosenberg sans fuck ass Rico Suave and tell him that what he did was wack…and read the rest of the comments above and below this one..And move forward….at the same volume..Hip Hop needs Juan Epstein….I’m out
Perx79 - September 8, 2008 at 3:44 pm |
Nice one Ciph,
work out the hatred on the podcast so that we can all hear it. Its why we listen.
recall - September 8, 2008 at 4:15 pm |
merci ciph you know peter is young and prideful and won’t say sorry. I know for you it was not about the $$$ but more about the loyalty and being a man of your word. I think Juan ep is very important too hip hop its teaching all the youngn about old records and really how far hip hop goes… please work it out… uno
cyn - September 8, 2008 at 4:15 pm |
Thanks for putting that pride aside. Why cancel the podcast when it’s about
to be 1 year in November. Plus look at all the fans you’ve accumulated.
Turtles - September 8, 2008 at 4:26 pm |
Listen Ciph and Pete if your reading this, the whole point of Juan Epstein whats to do something different from normal radio and that turned out a lot better than anyway thought it would. You can’t just take that away.
singuista - September 8, 2008 at 4:28 pm |
Peace Ciph,
I’m hitting you up from MADRID,SPAIN. I am not one to usually leave comments,but-when I heard last week about you and Rosenburgs’ beef, I thought it was a publicity stunt-UNTIL there was no Juan Epstein this weekend,Yo fam-bring Juan Ep back, PLEASE.
Here’s a jewel for you to reflect on:imagine if Stretch and Bobbito had quit so soon into their legendary run, hip hop would be without a lot of history from that time period. In these days and times, you and Rosenburg have the opportunity to reach their (Stretch and Bobbito’s) status, and you all are global!!! Think of the chances that YOU have, sieze the chance, shhhh square up with Rosenburg in the ring for a one on one if you have to, but PLEASE don’t “kill” Juan Epstein so soon. Damn fam, them Joey Crack, Nelly, Q-tip, Pete Rock (and the others as well) interviews are CLASSIC. And y’all ain’t even taken full advantage of y’alls juice, now that y’all got a morning slot on HOT97 and are madd popular around the world with Juan Epstein.
Also in these days and times Hip Hop doesn’t have m/any responsible,educational, and “real” thorough shows like Juan Epstein. I could go on and on but-I ain’t trying to hit you over the head, nahmean?
Just a few things for you to reflect on. I hope you and yours are in the best of health and circumstance. May GOD continue to bless you and Paul’s family and friends. Peace.
Miguel - September 8, 2008 at 4:32 pm |
Yep…We’ll Im from New Zealand..Love Juan Epstein…If you stop it i’ll be really fucked off. cheers.
Kunty Kente - September 8, 2008 at 4:56 pm |

mr bsta - September 8, 2008 at 5:47 pm |
can a n bomg get a podcast?
hey ciph..you shaved your curls down to make it look like your forhead isnt as big as we thought..now only if u can get rosenberg to shave his back
did u notice his back hair connects with his neck hair and then meets up around under his chin to his beard stubs? thats amazing…
nbomb - September 8, 2008 at 6:47 pm |
fuck juan eptein though…i think it puts you on blast for being a wierd dude with bitch tendencies….you guys sound like girls always whinnin and shit
nbomb - September 8, 2008 at 6:48 pm |
Yo Cyph, I want Juan Epstein to come back, but not if it’s forced. I totally understand your actions, you stood tall, real tall for the lil’ homie Latarian. Y’all need to fight or something
No Juan Epstein > A Coerece Juan Epstein
boi-dan - September 8, 2008 at 7:01 pm |
Bring it back. It truly is the only authentic HipHop interview program that I’m checkin’ for via podcast…or the internet period, for that matter. And it is appreciated…..the word shall be spreaded even more.
Mr. Frenzy - September 8, 2008 at 9:29 pm |
juan epstien isnt ending…rosenberg and ciph are using this as a way to stall till they get around to doing the next episode….there failry busy with the morning show and side projects…so they figured this will cause a little online stir get people excited and when then they will post the new espisode when they get time to do it…and boom everyones really happy and feels rejuvenated..
nbomb - September 8, 2008 at 10:47 pm |
nah, Ciph, I 100% got your back on this!!! Dude is straight bitch, I wanted to break my fucking monitor listening to that cheap fuck wine about I’ll give you 60%?!?!?! I dont know how no one even working at the station didnt run in and punch that fuck in the head!! I know everyone, from Europe and ect, are dying for it, but look, if one of the dudes is a fake, why would you want him even fucking with Hip Hop..you want to respect the dudes interveiwing these Idols of ours right????? Not just like, “oh I am Peter Rosenerg isnt it so funny I am white and just not cool” that shits corny…and I am not saying it cause dude is white, Stretch , Riz, Eclipse ect, ect have done solid fucking Hip Hop radio with Personality and style and Hip Hop knowlegde, it just erks me how these internet people are latching onto Peter Rosenberg like dude had an ill show for years, just grinding in the city and now he’s on Hot 97 cause the streets want him..NO< he just went to a good school, fucking bounced around doing stupid interviews at Summer Jam and was safe to the radio programmers that they were like , hey lets keep this guy around…
THAT DUDE - September 9, 2008 at 1:14 am |
meant him bitch about wanting to give 40%, but you got me..
THAT DUDE - September 9, 2008 at 1:14 am |
Dig in your own pockets and give that bad ass little kid more motivation to grow into a hoodlum you idiot….you need to check yourself cracker-spic….what the fuck makes you so righteous?…you always gon need a wingman wierdo
The TRUTH - September 9, 2008 at 1:18 am |
Jaun Ep podcast was (or is?) dope. Enjoyed each one (still not convinced on the Nelly one though).
Seriously get it in, or don’t get it in, sad to see but everyone can live with it if you decide not. After the trauma of the Sopranos and the Wire ending, I’m sure that all will be okay – just.
NB: If this is some ego boosting podcast retirement stunt (a la Jay-Z or the Game God forbid) Its wwwwwaaaayyyy played out just like them f~~king polkadots….

yo im originally from ny, moved to florida and the radio sucks, I just happened to check out the clipse ep. and was really feeling it. now I use this website to get thru my day at work. yo on the real stop playing yourselves the show is hot. work it out
slick money - September 9, 2008 at 9:03 am |
Get your Sting on Ciph! Peace 2 the Godz.
FreshSeth - September 9, 2008 at 9:17 am |
This is the only podcast I listen to. I tried to find another like it but there are NONE. The only thing that could possibly come next is wack imitators. Keep Juan Ep Alive! Do it Live
DetroitRed - September 9, 2008 at 9:43 am |
you should bring it back *because* you and rosenberg are gonna conflict and argue.. like boi-dan said – if it comes back and you’re best friends then it’ll sound fake..
i’m tryin to find an 80s tv analogy but i cant think of one.. lol
dj mista e / code blue - September 9, 2008 at 10:17 am |
I say you should bring it back. You can’t let something this great fall apart because Rosenberg was cheap. We never got that Bun B ep man, we need that. You two have great chemistry together when you don’t have problems, if you can work it out I’d love to hear more Juan Ep.
Shail - September 9, 2008 at 11:59 am |
the rosenberg haters are in full effect over here. people seem to forget that half of what makes JE so great is rosenberg. I’m not gonna take sides in this battle like so many others have, i just want to hear a dope podcast with a great dynamic again.
y’all should just do a “working out the differences” podcast and go IN.
PRIME MINISTER PETE NICE - September 9, 2008 at 1:29 pm |
Bring back Juan Ep man…that shit messed up my nightly routine of listening to Juan Ep rolling up a fattie and playing Madden Online…shit just ain’t the same no more I’ve been losing and shit lately…help a nigga out Ciph
I'm Me - September 9, 2008 at 2:52 pm |
YO CIPH, I’M NOT GONNA ASK YOU TO PUT IT UP…..U ARE JUST TOTALLY ACTING GAY!!!
LISTEN AS BAD IT SOUNDS ROSENBERG HAS DONE ALOT FOR UR CAREER, CUZ I ALWAYS KNEW U BUT THOUGHT U WAS A BIT ANNOYING UNTIL THE WHOLE JUAN EPSTEINS.
MAKE UP WITH THE LITTLE JEW AND CONTINU THE GREAT WORK .
CHEERS MATE…
Gspoterilla - September 9, 2008 at 5:28 pm |
bury it and get back to work gentlemen!

Salute from a Turk straight out of the Netherlands!

Mr.Londoner - September 12, 2008 at 12:58 pm |
Dude I’m not a huge frieind of radio as a matter of fact I have not listened to radio in years but your podcats actually had me listen to your morning show. Its funny something with no structure or outline could be so good. But hey Seinfield was the same so bring bring Juan Epstein back damn it.
