Like so many other Chuck D had condemned Hot 97 for their recent Summer Jam event. Chuck had made comments about the racial slurs being used and the performers at Summer Jam. During a segment of "The realness" Rosenberg responded by asking Chuck D "who made you president?" "and what he's doing to support Hip Hop?" Rosenberg said that "Chuck D has always hated radio when they were black owned and now you hate Hot 97. Rosenberg also told Chuck that "Hip Hop is doing pretty well. "We had some amazing artist out there selling tons of album". "Is Hip Hop perfect? Absolutely not." But was it perfect when Chuck D was active in the game? Absolutely not." Rosenberg said "we love you, you're a father of this game you contributed". No one owns Hip Hop it is a collective culture and we all do our best to support it.
