Ebro & Peter Rosenberg have never shied away from saying how they really feel about something. That was especially true on one of the recent episodes of The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show.
In a clip that is making the rounds, Ebro and Rosenberg expressed their skepticism over Kanye West's recent Stadium Tour comeback. The conversation was sparked by Macklemore, who claims certain venues are not booking him for his Free Palestine Tour. As Ebro and Rosenberg pointed out, venues are selective, and despite his antisemitic past, Kanye West has been given a free pass.
“Listen, we know these buildings are very tight… Unless it’s Kanye, in which case he did 80,000 [seats] all weekend in Texas,” Rosenberg explained at the 57-minute mark.
“Everybody was hitting me talking about how record-breaking it was,” Ebro stated. “And I was like, ‘Guys, I’ve been involved in concerts before, I know how to make the stage set up so you can get more people in the building and make it look like you got more numbers.’”
Ebro & Peter Rosenberg On The Kanye West "Comeback"
Rosenberg got extra sarcastic about the situation. “They thought they could stop him, but he’s back,” he quipped. “People love a comeback story. Like, he was down bad, guys. He was down to his last billion! … He was selling clothes on his own; now he’s back. He had his fashion show, and so this storyline is adding extra.”
The radio host then went on to note that Ye's apologies have not been enough. “I just believe that you need to do things besides say, ‘I’m making my comeback,’” Rosenberg concluded. Ebro then laughed about Ye meeting with a Rabbi, which Rosenberg very clearly felt was a farce.
Ye remains a hot-button issue in hip-hop, and that doesn't appear to be changing anytime soon.
