FULL SHOW NOTES - https://share.transistor.fm/s/25264828
For our second ISOS journalist interview Miki, Ryan, and Brandon traded words with the goat, the legend, and Tidal’s current Chief Content Officer Elliott Wilson. The guys chopped it up first about the transition from the print magazine era (where Elliott was famously Editor in Chief at XXL) to the Internet or blog era (co-founder Rap Radar).
Then Elliott brought an article to the podcast a la ISOS regular scheduled programming. The piece was ‘The Black Internet Gold Rush That Wiped Away $75 Million In 18 Months’ by Aliya S. King posted on Medium. The piece covered the above-mentioned transition to the internet for rap media and Elliott dove into his full perspective on where he was at when it all went down and what he noticed.
Throughout the podcast, a few other highlights included Elliott’s intentions with his newsletter The Motto, Drake calling him out on his Future hate, and our personal favourite moments of Elliott puffing his chest out on Ryan for his slanderous accusations of Elliott’s lack of underground credibility. Tap in!
