[@cjdarapper2194]

99% of the views are because they thought Chris Brown was going off on Ebro

[@pvrpleswxg]

true lol

[@michaelperry2018]

Not even gonna lie. I thought it was the case lol

[@redcupcakeify]

same reason i came. lmao

[@gitmjua0290]

Yep

[@Prhyme22]

I waited 18min 33sec to see that:( Lol

[@Raystateofmind]

RESPECT to Old man Ebro for truly running everything behind the scenes at Hot 97.

[@maddinmanek8679]

Very well done indeed!

[@trippen4391]

Lol this comment didn't age well lmao

[@MizzFabulous1000]

They need to do a documentary about all the years of summer jam and all the artist that have graced their stage. 20 years is a long time.

[@kumarsundaram6026]

i 2nd that

[@DestinationDeFi]

His job looks hard as hell.

[@deronnekingcaid4328]

It Actually Is a hard job man I can't believe it

[@13thREVOLUZION]

Darren Rucker its up there with the leadership of north korea

[@wecare.]

Darren Rucker So are his paychecks

[@TheHovroc]

Dude PUTS IN WORK.RESPECT!

[@foodstampz]

13thREVOLUZION mad funny comment lmao

[@ambessashield9360]

Lol at the Bosses. Two old white guys in a golf cart, that shit will never change

[@JimmyCurry]

+Jonte Ded It can change if people mentalities change.

[@TruthfullySpeaking500]

+Jimmy Curry Why would you want it to change?

[@jap8037]

+Jimmy Curry It is beyond mentality, sir. The action is the ultimate catalyst of change. As long as people like Ebron are around willingly doing the work for folks that control the industry, and these people have followers. it does not matter, historically thats a proven fact.

[@Embassy97]

+Jonte Ded Holy Shit Ur right bout that

[@hawaiianboi33]

Rich white guys have meetings called "keeping it in the family" and discuss ways to continue to keep the wealth and positions within their circle. Look up the documentary called "the one percent"

[@Ape_PONR]

Lmfao Miguel tries to give his hand, gets played, tries again with a fist, gets played again and resorts to tapping ebros shoulder hahahaha

[@JMRWIGGLES]

cuz ebro a bitch!

[@ghostpurp6913]

Jin Tran yo momma a bitch

[@MikeTaiVlogs]

I'm all for breezy, but this vid probably got a extra 100K views simply cause Chris look like he was about to hit Ebro

[@Sci_954]

That's the only reason I just watched it.

[@levithianmind5326]

Agreed

[@ftg419]

Real shit...the only reason I clicked

[@Fadewu1]

I know right!? lol

[@bubblegumbitch3191]

That's the only reason why I clicked on this video.

[@QuakeBeatZ]

EBRO! we need one of these videos for this year

[@thatguyskill559]

Whole new level of respect for Ebro. I had a semi adrenaline rush just watching this dude tryna operate the show. Big ups "my G" lol

[@MajestyWilliams]

I felt the same way, he needs to do this for all of the concerts. make it like an hour long

[@SquizzMe]

You never know whether Mariah is drunk or just being herself LOL love her.

[@radiio]

This isn't easy. Time is money - Ebro does his best and I applaud him. Every year Summer Jam prevails , 👌

[@WinnieGunzz]

Nathalie Paulin lol

[@PrettyInkinPink49]

More behind the scenes with Ebro please!!! I was thoroughly entertained.

[@coreyfreeman6226]

i've been a part of this,i know the stress back stage...the people in the front don't even know what's going on behind the curtain...kinda like life

[@Victor-hw7oi]

Meek & Wale always act like they don't know each other lol

[@blaisereed-jenkins8362]

Victor they don't lol

[@jamichealgates5802]

Victor i know right i thought this s@#t is crazy

[@KENNYPAHINA]

im getting stressed watchin this lol

[@koolbreezeuk]

Word

[@mikehanson3906]

lmao me too wtf im done

[@djnosleeves85]

Kenneth Paige word

[@tommybasham-oo7qf]

He's a control freak

[@singdeinn]

He's not a jerk , you just have to be straight forward when it comes to putting on production or else things get messy. He handled business

[@NoMoreNamesAvailabl1]

Got mad respect for Ebro after seeing this. It takes strong skill and focus to keep an event of that scale together

[@gabriel222100]

I came back a year later just to hear the guy at 4:47 saying holy shit again😂

[@corz114]

They thought there was a thunder storm coming but it was just Rick Ross running to the catering table.

[@looveeM]

lmaoooooo

[@johnlove1456]

Niqqa I'm am tripping at work off yo comment lmbao

[@ellyzabethxx]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jasminmcdowell5740]

Don’t do my mans like that 😂😂

[@FreeTheColonized]

this could of been a movie great video

[@Mikey_Darko]

Alot more respect for ebro

[@AfroVibez]

There are many individuals insulting this guy, watching this video makes me have huge respect for event organisers and planners because summer jam is not like monitoring a marriage ceremony, its total different beast . . .

[@tnargtnarud]

I completely agree, it's sad how ignorant people can be and start insulting somebody they don't even personally know. Being an event planner gives you no room for mistakes, or let alone a break. You're not only managing difficult celebrities, but staff, security, and fans. If Ebro was all smiley, hugging everyone, and letting people take advantage of him, you think events like these would be controlled properly? No. It's all the matter of being professional, it's nothing personal on his part, but this is his career, he has tons of liability that can catch him if he doesn't walk around with a stick in his ass when needed. You people need to stop criticizing a man who has PROVIDED an event like this FOR YOU to be entertained. Any event planner will tell you the same, when shit gets done, it's not a matter of being nice, it's the matter of getting it done.

[@extremelydazzlingevents3611]

mariah was drunk af..lol

[@THOMAR624]

Lmaoo glad someone else noticed 😂😂

[@THOMAR624]

Ron Davis Why, thank you!

[@AmenVictoria]

Summer Jam has always put on a show. I remember seeing so many live performances.

[@whoyathought400]

I see why Ebro is so cutthroat when it comes to the music business. He deals with so much shit he sees through all the glitz and glamour. Whatever Hot97 is trying to do by putting Ebro in the limelight these days, it's working coz I respect him waaay more these days

[@JasonCWaite]

THANK YOU. I like seeing a fantastic organizer/manager in progress.

[@TheChadShow9]

it's ok miguel. we all get left hanging with handshakes sometimes.

[@ashrafrufi4640]

hahaha though i was the only one who noticed, he got left hanging twice XD

[@carmelladussett7363]

ashraf rufi

[@amiokoruen]

when?

[@madwifey5530]

I had to look away, I hate when that happens.

[@iwikongzilla2942]

PAY THIS MAN MORE MONEY RIGHT NOW!

[@gnarlykoala]

+IWI KongZilla He gets payed don't worry. ;)

[@thagreatfrank3071]

Chill it's choking you...

[@itsumbre]

I don't get why people hate this dude. He gets shit done and never punks out to anyone. He's a boss.

[@alexgarciamma]

hes a hater and a know it all

[@KnockSquared]

at 7:33 Miguel holding that mic stand on his neck..I know everybody was moving out the way cause they know this dude lethal as hell...either he gonna kick you in the brain by leaping over you or he gonna swing the mic stand and knock somebody teeth out. He the only R&B artist that fans have to have health insurance before they see him in concert.

[@WilliamSandifer]

Made my night with that one.

[@YoursTrulyDest]

When he said Mariah diva behind I swear I laughed too hard

[@AveMcree]

great short docu!!!... didnt know Ebro ran shit so seriously...... learned alot

[@evanoneill619]

I used to not like him and now I see he's a hard working dude. He seems to be the "glue" here in this little behind the scenes doc. He can afford to call out bs when he sees it, when he interviews ppl.He's not sitting on the sidelines and that was blatantly obvious here.

[@jyoungswag]

this has got to be the greatest video on youtube

[@ndimasilwana4894]

John Manselle-Young seriously?...

[@jyoungswag]

yep.

[@ajack99]

Whoa, that was an amazing peek at all the work that goes into something that major. Much respect 💪🏿

[@IAmJQ]

LOL The humor, the drama, the hard work, the insight.. I Love all of this!

[@TranscenDaMental]

I respect Ebro in a big way...I didn't know that he coordinated Summer Jam. Fantastic Job!

[@werqeful]

I wonder how often "My Nigga" or just the word Nigga was said that day lol

[@DannyM]

Ebro got some serious management skills

[@briggs713]

"You got about 5 seconds before we start doing what we do!" hahahaha. Real

[@ramp622]

7:26 , ebro left miguel hanging. Dick.

[@omarigrey7330]

he wasn't paying attention

[@DocKaosBeats]

ramp622 He hit him on the shoulder he didn't leave him hanging too bad if he didn't acknowledge him at all then I would say he left him hanging

[@ramp622]

kapone815 It was just funny how miguel closed his hand after he realized ebro wasn't even looking at him lol. Some of those celebs (as mentioned by ebro) have big personalities.

[@DocKaosBeats]

ramp622 Yeah I agree plus it looks like ebro was arguing with dude he was talking to,so I guess that's why Miguel was like never mind

[@MichaelDamond]

Much respect for pulling together a production of that size, with egos. #LikeABoss

[@MRSMALLS118]

at 7:21 ebro left miguel hanging that's cold looool

[@unknownknown1565]

LOL TWICE

[@JS_GOTI]

Yeah, he was explaining why though.

[@MrJess-el8ku]

Great business game was being showed.. Thanks for uploading.. 🙌🏾🙇🏾‍♂️

[@JaneyBrown]

I love behind the scenes!!! post more things like this! :D

[@crowntee8708]

wtf wrong with Mariah she needa stop acting like that that aint cute

[@leonscott543]

Crown Tahkilyahh lolol this is normal behavior for the rich and famous.... they're just really good at hiding it, she might have been snorting crack in the limo

[@princess-jc7if]

leon scott crack?!??! Crack is cheap. Miss thang was doing a line of COKE

[@doublebigMark]

Respects to this guy. Takes a lot to do this type of job.

[@justice5897]

Mad love and respect for this man and his epic work

[@ArtbyAtlas]

Always respect for the people who make things happen behind the scenes :)

[@tgfasmo]

6:20 Damn I'm sober, that's crazy - nah stay sober - never. lol best part lol

[@jreid100]

Ebro my dude, I like the way you handled yourself running that summer jam event bro that's real boss shit right there...

[@danieltebboth1793]

I thoroughly enjoyed this guys professionalism of no messing around, always on cue to schedule managing with the stars like their boss when they late :)

[@BlakeStevensonchopped]

I enjoyed this Ebro, cool look into summerjam!

[@laffykayable]

Lol people think Mariah is a diva, but I think she's a comedian

[@KingTxne]

Ebro: Want me to hold the glass? Mariah: Nah son Lmao

[@mikethompson6612]

KingTxne she sounded drunk as shit lmao

[@dakidfromknowhere765]

bobbygrewal47 I agree

[@Queenofkindness06]

bobbygrewal47 An old joke with a huge voice. I will admit that shes is a little too diva, 44 is not that old some women that age look way better than some 20 years old girl. Working out eating well and good genes its all you need to look great. A little respect young man.

[@EJTV3]

bobbygrewal47 Mariah for pope!

[@JuliusSpin]

So funny how people dog on Ebro while he maintained a big party like this. Sure he can be rude at times, he already said he is because he has no time for bs. People like Wu, the caucasion bosses in the kart and some other cats like Miguel dont get a rude attitude because they dont bring bs. Easy. It's not that hard to understand. PS: If you can't even host your own kids party without nonsense than you have no chance of complaining about Ebro. He did a fine job. Even with the lightning storm. Respect.

[@MarcusGilmore]

Dope seeing this mini doc. As I push forward in content and event production this was dope to see the work that is put into summer jam.

[@hazemontega1513]

thank you for this , really needed all this to come correct. love summer jam and can't wait to perform there God willing 2018. right now 2017 about me and babe.

[@Pompnumber]

You can see who Ebro answers to in that Golf Cart 4:38 , he is the real Boss. Ebro is just the Chief Whip. Either way this is a great video, thanks! :-)

[@Breakbeats92.5]

From an entertainment standpoint Hip Hop is soooooooooooo boring. I can't believe people find this stuff entertaining. People used to diss Hammer but at least he understood his role as a professional entertainer. You are there to entertain! What is entertaining about seeing a handful of young African American males walking around with their pants sagging, cursing and providing the crowd with little, if any entertainment value?

[@jamesali265]

Different strokes for different folks. Remember, that is merely YOUR opinion.

[@cjhenglbcc]

True I rather go to an EDC

[@primetime2915]

Why just African Americans. You can find thousands of white, Hispanic etc. So chill

[@anthonyrandall1579]

This is a new era bro! Things are always going to change! People go just to see the artist and to hear the music and dance and have fun! What the fuck do you do when you go to a night club or bar or even in your car! You listen, you bob your head and your entertained by the lyrics! So chill out old school! Let them do there thang and stop hating!

[@Breakbeats92.5]

Anthony Randall Your're totally missing the point. This is not change, it's called devolution. From an entertainment standpoint we are getting less and less sophisticated. The reason? simple, the modern day artist is lazy and record labels are more than happy to slash the touring budgets of most performers so they can put the difference in their pocket. So what we have here is economics driving the lack of progress from an entertainment standpoint. I saw the Isley Brothers, The OJ's and EWF in concert and it blew me away! I saw The Roots live in a funky little club in Atlanta and Questlove absolutely hypnotized the crowd with his transcendental drum playing. Those were shows, not talent less men and women bragging about their material possessions and trying to show who has the bigger ego. Take this new era and shove it up your backside.

[@theegreatestever2420]

Thank you so much for this!

[@tonyguevara8462]

This is dope, a lot of passion no doubt

[@VengefulHater]

7:24 LMFAO when Ebro left Miguel hanging...

[@mrblackbond]

+Robert ' hahahah Miguel tried like two or three times hahah

[@ellissmith23]

Miguel took that L

[@RubenArchives777]

that's my boy wtf ebro your not cool

[@shauncrosby4483]

yeah funny asf respect to miguel for not hatin n u no afterwards ebro would of saw that n apologised

[@chrispalacios7165]

hes sucks anyways

[@King_Kunta]

I used to not like Ebro but after I saw this I got nothing but respect for him. A lot of hard work with that brother and add that he is host of that radio show too. Respect man

[@mayasting07]

Loved this....he gets the job done. Much respect for that.

[@grimezgetem]

Love this perspective! 💯

[@nayp.5603]

I would hate to have to give Chris Brown bad news. His face at 10:45 is crazy

[@KabbalahSherry]

Ebro: "Um, can I take that glass from You?" Marian Carey: "Nah, son." LMAO!!!! Her tired ass is just too drunk these days I swear! She's still our last remaining true diva though. Others try to call themselves that shit...but Marian LIVES it. Can't deny. Even so...it ain't hard to see why Nick had enough! Damn.

[@Eddy6159]

Nick himself isn't no angel. Airing out their sex lives via interviews and staying out late all the time.

[@getropierre8414]

Wow that's a lot of hard work I give a lot of respect to those guys.

[@djdosado]

Enjoyed this!

[@GameBreaker1993]

Yo big up for fucking Ebro man real hustler killing it on Summer Jam!

[@EmantheHeartbreak]

The clip of Mariah Carey was all I needed.

[@allstateitsinyourhands9765]

+Eman the Heartbreak nah son!

[@ezrakiiza8024]

Yeah me too

[@IamFirstToArrive]

Great work Ebro & summer jam. I’m there this year.

[@miketorres7180]

mad props man! Making shit happen and runnin the show like a boss.

[@GreeneChakra]

I don't care what y'all say Miguel's Haircut is on point with the fade, the lines, and the Shape up!

[@esesssnamejs5339]

mariah dresses like it's 2003

[@herricd8763]

Maybe to her it's 3003 an in a different galaxy.

[@ahall503]

YO EBRO you ran Portland Radio dude! So good to see you have not lost your swag bro! On behalf of everyone you have touched with your talents I salute you!

[@TonyGasque]

Yo, Thanks for this...looks like a lot of work wow

[@solargeknowles4354]

Mariah Carey and has a dry sense of humor, too bad people mistake it as her being a diva. Plus she plays it up because of people's perception of her.

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

Thank you. Thats what I'm sayin

[@BrandonCarter211]

Facts

[@ezrakiiza8024]

Im glad Ebro knows Mariah is a Diva and he respects her like the legend she is. #L4L

[@KillaKevTv]

4:00 " holy shit " " holy shit "

[@djvedits]

Ebro you handled that event like a pro! MONEY!

[@dannyhughes2680]

Man i really respect the way you put up with all the STAR SHITZ.....AMAZING!!

[@Saskiequelle]

Arranging black events is always a fucking headache.

[@dannyrosado94]

young kids looking like who the fuck is wu-tang?

[@StudioRiba]

+Danny Rosado That was a sad thing , tho .

[@dannyrosado94]

for sure

[@sydneysworld7348]

you don't got to say bad words

[@dannyrosado94]

lol.......oh well fuck it

[@drdremother]

We need more this

[@jaymilan215]

Ebro is a real boss! Big industry 🐐

[@maxdondada]

Watching this is like seeing the Titanic go down. RIP Hot 97

[@radiio]

How? It's literally the biggest hip hop concert in the world .. Legit Where's HOT97 going? Take a look at rating bruh

[@maxdondada]

I may be talking out of my ass but given Angie Martinez departure and Hot 97 DJ's having beef with other artist, the future dont look good. Summer Jam is the only card they have left to play.

[@radiio]

gotcha! I hear what you're saying Mr. Jerome

[@TrulyMade]

without a hat you won't recognize ebro

[@egdapo]

so true, like 2 mins in wihtout the hat and i was like "who tha hell is that?"

[@TrulyMade]

egdapo LOL

[@PRS247]

means he wears hats too much. he should expose his big head more.

[@Nickwimberly]

I"mean all kick we

[@christopherroland6572]

I watched this video to see what type of work goes on behind the scenes and its a lot. From what I see you do a great job. I could not deal with the egos and people that think there bigger then other humans. Good at what you do, this vid is something I watched on the humble.

[@gissellajeannetth2548]

this is crazy.i think I'll be checking it out.man you fine .God bless you. and. all that you do for our soul.music and laughter.

[@TheRelativeUnknown]

Is this what its like to be a boss?

[@RealtimeReviews613]

THEY NEED TO MAKE A 2014 SUMMER JAM VID LIKE THIS

[@jet7825]

I find this behind the scene more fascinating than the show itself. I love the stress involved. Who cares about the performers....LOL.

[@iamflashin]

I LOVED THAT, THAT WAS DOPE ASF

[@KingSavageE252]

Im in a Group In greenville, Nc and i feel like we got it to make it

[@scientifico]

An informative and entertaining behind the scenes of a show I will NEVER go to!

[@Thisismyhandle423]

I went once. It was fun but I was young and everyone was smoking weed so I couldn't do anything lol and I was all the way in the back.

[@arnulfoandrade3677]

Lil Durk damn durk how old was u?

[@Thisismyhandle423]

16 i believe it was in 2010. All I rmrmber was movado, dipset, pleasure p, elephant man, and some other I didn't know/can't remember. It was a big anniversary show

[@FineAssJaNaiya]

Dderjjkk .. Famous

[@bruthalee]

Truly empathize with this Brotha'! Thanks for sharing, L

[@andrefrazier8653]

Im a creative myself... and honestly I truly respect Ebros masterful hustle and workflow here. nothing but respect for how he works and focused he is in getting work done. props

[@RealGuild]

I cant front, I dont agree with all his views but damn this was a great behind the scenes. Mad respect!!

[@jestnessj3574]

THAT (Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all creeds race, social and economic levels and age) is PROBLEM SOLVING skills)

[@isiahsnow2007]

Hip-Hop Legend in the making mark my words...

[@TheMass33]
