How has no one ever stepped to Rosenberg about this? Does he have a pass from EPMD? I didn't understand the full context of Rosenberg hate but now I get it. THAT'S A VIOLATION. With the younger generation they're too quick to appropriate names and legacies to garner attention without the consent of the legends.
