They also talked about writing for Mary J. Blige and other artists in the industry. Jeffrey said that the ending skit of Come Inside is real and that they played that part on the radio back in the day. Buddy and Jeffrey shared their experiences making their two albums INTRO and New Life as well as going on tour. We had a Nas vs. Jay-Z discussion. Buddy grew up with Jay-Z and played basketball with him as well. They gave their opinion of RnB and Hip-Hop today.

Beenofficial on "Sports and Hip-Hop with DJ Mad Max" on WSJU Radio at St. John's University

      I want to thank my brother and the Bronx's own Beenofficial for coming on my show "Sports and Hip-Hop with DJ Mad Max last night on WSJU Radio at St. John's University. He talked about writing his first rap song as well as his favorite artist who inspired him and that is Kool G Rap. He gave his view on Hip-Hop today and believes that lyrical rap will make a comeback, which I believe as well because everything happens in cycles. He has a lot of bangers out on all music platforms that he has recently released including: Downpour, Forever NewSchool, Ay Now, No Shorts, and UKTV. Some of his raps remind me of Onyx member Sticky Fingaz. He also spit a fire freestyle over Rick Ross' Crocodile Python! If you are a true Hip-Hop head who appreciates the lyrics, I highly recommend you check Beenofficial out because he represents the real Hip-Hop! Keep grinding my bro, I believe big things will happen for you!

Legendary DJ Chuck Chillout talks Kool Chip and Masters of the Rhythm on "Sports and Hip-Hop with DJ Mad Max" on WSJU Radio at St. John's University

     I want to thank the legend DJ Chuck Chillout for calling into my show last night on WSJU Radio at St. John's University. He told me about the first time he saw a set of turntables, in which he wanted to become a DJ. He received his first set of turntables for his birthday and his dream of becoming a DJ came true. He told me how he got his name as well as collaborating with Kool Chip for their classic album "Masters of the Rhythm" that released in 1989. He talked about his journey to becoming an on air DJ in 1982 on 98.7 Kiss FM. He loved DJing overseas in Japan and having a radio show over there as well. He loved it so much that he almost didn't come back. He was one of the first DJs to play Hip-Hop music in Japan and the people loved it. He named his favorite artists from back in the day as well as some of the artists he likes today. Chuck Chillout keeps it real and has no time for 'Space Music', in which he gave that name to the mainstream Hip-Hop today. He told a hilarious story about Desiigner when he saw him in the hallway at WBLS. Thanks again for calling in and giving me the positive advice! Most of all don't forget to lock into DJ Chuck Chillout's show on Saturday nights from 11:00pm to 12:00am est on WBLS! https://maxrcoughlan.com/sports-and-hip-hop.html

Hot 97's Hip Hop Mike on "Sports and Hip-Hop with DJ Mad Max" on WSJU Radio at St. John's University

     I want to thank my guy Hip Hop Mike for coming on my show "Sports and Hip-Hop with DJ Mad Max" on WSJU Radio at St. John's University last night. I had a great time! We discussed the current state of Hip-Hop as well as the early 2000s and 90s era of Hip-Hop. Mike described Hip-Hop as being sub genres of different styles and Rap being more about the bars. He told his story growing up as a Queens native and being a huge fan of Nas. His favorite album is Illmatic. His inspirational journey to Hot 97 began when he was younger, living at a group home, and he wrote to all the members of Hot 97 at the time. The only one who responded back was Peter Rosenberg and this would later help Mike achieve his dream to be at Hot 97. Later on, he won tickets to Hot 97's event Rock The Bells three times in the hopes of meeting his idol Nas and ended up running into Rosenberg backstage. This solidified Mike's dream of being at Hot 97. Mike also told us how he got his name Hip Hop Mike. One of my favorite moments from this interview was when we recited Big Pun's famous Twinz (Deep Cover '98) line: "Dead in the middle of Little Italy little did we know that we riddled some middlemen who didn't do diddly". We closed out the show with a cypher of fire freestyles from St. John's University's own emcees Sayku and Loko Warbucks. I want to thank Sayku and Loko for their dope performances. Most of all, thanks again Hip Hop Mike for coming on my show and giving me positive advice because it means a lot to me! He's a very hard worker. He is doing a lot for and really cares about the youth. Also, don't forget to tune into the hottest midnight show Hip Hop Mike's show on Tuesday's-Friday's from 12am-6am est on Hot 97! Stay tuned!

     I want to thank my brother and CT's own RnB singer Omar Wilson for calling into my show last night on WSJU radio at St. John's University! He discussed his inspiration to write music and the artists he looked up to. He reminds me of Donny Hathaway, Aaron Hall, and K-CI.

Hip Hop legend Rampage The Last Boy Scout talks about the Flipmode Squad and being on the Flava In Ya Ear Remix on "Sports and Hip-Hop with DJ Mad Max" on WSJU Radio at St. John's University

     I want to thank Hip-Hop legend Rampage for calling into my show last night on WSJU Radio at St. John's University. He mentioned many rappers who influenced him including Special Ed and Chubb Rock. Growing up in Flatbush Brooklyn, NY he lived around many of these rappers. Busta Rhymes is his first cousin and they are in the same group known as the Flipmode Squad. He talked about signing his first deal and being on the greatest Hip-Hop remix of all time, which is Craig Mack's Flava In Ya Ear Remix. He discussed his friendships with Craig Mack and The Notorious B.I.G. aka Biggie Smalls. He has another song with Craig Mack that they recently had recorded before Craig Mack sadly, passed away. We talked about his classic first album Scout's Honor... by Way of Blood and the hit song off of the album Wild for da Night. One of the greatest parts about this interview was that Rampage was freestyling at times! He started the hashtag/term for Hip-Hop today and that is mumble rap. He has kept it real from day one and tells it like it is. He made his music the way he wanted to and I have always loved the grittiness in his music. He has a lot going on: he is going to be in an upcoming movie, he is creating a cartoon, he has his own headphone brand, he has his own sports and Hip-Hop show on NBC, and he is a DJ. Be on the lookout because he has a vault of tracks recorded and he will be dropping a new album soon called When Hell Freezes Over! Thanks again Rampage for calling into my show last night, I had a great time!
