Craving a history lesson but don’t feel like paying for a museum ticket? Tired of the Roman Empire and other boring topics? Perhaps illiterate? Well, I hope not, because then you wouldn’t know what I’m saying right now (dumbass, jk).
If all but the last rings true, we have the perfect video for you. An afternoon with Jacob Rosenberg that is part career retrospective, part story time, and part house tour. You might know Jacob from his historic run with Plan B, creating videos like Questionable, Virtual Reality, and Second Hand Smoke.
You might also know him from his work with Del the Funky Homosapien, De La Soul, and other quintessential 90s rappers. If you don’t know him from either, I’d like a 2,000 word paper, single spaced on my desk tomorrow about why.
To celebrate his new book, “Right Before My Eyes” Jacob was kind enough to let us stomp around his home and tell us stories from his long career. Not to get sappy here at the end, but I always wished I listened to more of my grandparents stories while I still could. So shut up and listen!

Dude deserves a medal for putting up with Carroll for so long. Met MC in the EMB days, and he was a whiny ass bitch.

I instantly think of Carroll when I hear the name Jacob Rosenberg.
Carroll is a piece of shit. He’s a whiiiiny, self absorbed awkward entitled cocksucker. He’s a child. He’s the REAL man child. He’s a dick to his fans. A kid that never grew up. He has zero compassion for anyone but himself.
He’s merely a stain on the trunks of the SOTY trophy.
He is the definition of a kook.

Carroll’s interview was one of the ‘Nine Club’ episodes I turned off pretty quickly. Nothing he said personally. Merely his voice. There’s no energy and breath support in his chest when speaking, with every sound out of his mouth resonating like a whiny teenager being confronted for their messy room…

Glad you guys are talking shit on Carroll because I happen to agree completely. Having grown up in the Bay Area and seen him around for years he was always a dick. His brother wasn’t much better, must run in the family.

It all just stems from his deep insecurities. Sad he has to take it out on others though. I think He’s kind of seen the light now since he’s been out of the limelight and the new generation doesn’t really care about him.
