Stern Show Word! Get Up On Howard Stern's Current Favorite Rappers

When he wasn't complaining throughout the entire show about Coachella, music festivals and the phony, attitudinal people who attend them, Howard took a call from a (black?) listener who asked him to name his "favorite rapper, like, right now." Without missing a beat, Howard listed four -- and they're not Flavor Flav, Flo Rida, Eminem and recent guest Ice Cube, as you'd expect.



Howard: "Well, I'm not gonna say I have a favorite, but some of the great guys out there are Bankroll Fresh. You know him? He's from Atlanta."

Caller Chris: "Yeah, that's my shit."

(Note: Bankroll Fresh was shot to death last month. Neither Howard nor the caller mentioned this.)

Howard: "Yeah. He's a trap rapper. ... Trap rapper means he raps about selling drugs. So he's pretty good. Then you got the Migos, which is three guys. It's a trio."

Howard: "You got um ... Who fuck hell else am I up on? ... Bankroll Fresh. He's pretty gritty, he's got a good sound."

Caller Chris: "Word."

Howard: "Right? Am I right? Kodak Black, you know him?'

(Note: Kodak Black is 18, and has only released mix tapes at this point.)

Caller Chris: "Kodak Black, that's my shit, man."

Robin becomes suspicious about this call. "This is on your iTunes?"

Howard: "Kodak Black? I got on- -- no, Kodak Black isn't in my iTunes. But Joey Purp from Chicago I listen to."

"He's got like a raspy -- I'm not gonna say like a DMX kinda voice, but it's raspy. It's hard core. You know, he raps about a lot of shit. Like, Kodak Black's hard core, too, because he raps about like gangs shit, like uh, if, he says -- you would probably know this, Chris, 'I ain't in no gang, but if you run up I'm gonna bang.' Which means, you know, the shit's gonna go down. ... All right, Chris, that's it on hip hop."

Caller Chris: "Word, thank you, my man."

When Howard first discovered iTunes in September 2013, the only rap song he purchased during his first buying sprees was "Insane in the Membrane" by Cypress Hill. At the time, he didn't even know how to make the music pause on his iPhone. It's shocking how far he's come.

 

HOWARD!!!

Keep moving in the direction of the suits you wear.

I am loving the nice jacket over the more casual pants, shirt, vest in the Ice Cube pic.

(Damn!!! I wish I knew him, I could style his ass tight in 10 minutes. Rich men are soooo fun to dress!!!)

I wouldn't take away the wig, I'd just tone it down a bit.

I just learned a bunch of stuff about rap music reading the above, too, .

 

Does he have on new boots? They look orthopedic. Oh, and that silly weave (or maybe lace front?) continues to make me laugh.

 

Marci must have been doing some research and decided that Howard needs to appeal to more blaek listeners.
Look for him to pour out his Schtarbusksh Coffee soon and start raving about his favorite new malt liquor, Steel Reserve.

 

Sounds like the Buchwald Talent Agency is starting to diversify.

 

Howard's a Trap Star

 

Ralph got him the boots after begging Varvatos for a pair of his own on Instagram:

  PS I NEED these boots IMMEDIATELY!
  #ROCKisDEAD

No word yet on whether or not he got the shoes he begged recent Stern guest Kevin Hart to send him:



ralphsgeektimeHey @kevinhart4real.

2 PAIR/RED/13.

Howard took a call from a guy who asked if he listens to any hip hop music. Howard said he doesn't listen but he keeps up on the trends. Howard said he likes Bankroll Fresh. Howard said he raps about selling drugs. Howard said then you have Amigos and Kodak Black. Robin asked what's going on here. Howard said he doesn't go around listening to this stuff but he keeps up on it. Howard named a few other hip hop guys he listens to. Howard said some of this stuff is hard core. Howard said that's it on hip hop. He said he can talk to that guy Chris about that stuff.

Robin wanted to know if Howard can name any of those artists if Fred plays something. Howard said he just knows some of the names. He said he knows a couple. He said he's keeping it real in Pompano Beach. Fred played a song from Kodak Black. Howard said he knows who it is.

 

although, i could get into the Ralph bashing.

 

Wonder who advised the wig who those wack rappers were?

 

How much money did Sam Simon leave to Ralph?

 

Probably the same guy playing random caller Chris.
