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 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.
