The Hip Hop Chronicle UK

I caught up with the legend that is Elliott Wilson at the Rap Radar Offices In New York City.

As I said to Elliott right off the bat, I am a fan first. I have been picking up his magazines for years and he’s a fantastic writer.

This is one of the perks of running a site like mine, you get to meet people you respect and learn more about Hip Hop.

In the first part of the interview, Elliott tells me how he got into Hip Hop Journalism, what he hopes to achieve with his new site Rap Radar, what keeps him motivated to come back and how he came up with the moniker ’YN’.

In the second part of the interview, I speak to Elliott about responsible journalism in light of the DJ Vlad/Joe Budden/Ransom situation.

The conversation slowly moved onto Kanye and his comment about Rihanna being the best thing to happen to Beyonce.

And finally, Elliott gives upcoming journalists/bloggers some advice.
