Been waiting for this interview since I learned about Lyor Cohen....been waiting three to four years for this. Thanks NORE. Want to state that I don't believe Lyor Cohen is a culture vulture, or a racist or out to exploit blacks. I like him and think he has helped the hip hop culture and black community alot. 1. He gave a lot of black guys from the hood, who were high school drop out, drug dealers and criminals an opportunity to do something positive with they lives, he made them executives, record label CEOs and millionaires and put them on the map. 2. He contributes the most to the hip hip culture. Big ups to him, anyone who doesn't like him is bias and prejudice because hebis white. Like Eminem he is one of the greatest rappers, anyone who says otherwise just has an issue with him because he is white. Before anyone says he exploits blacks, P Diddy, Dr Dre, Suge Knight, Jay z also make rappers sign the same deals he makes rappers sign, and send out the same message (drugs, women and violence)...yet no one says a thing. Why is it an issue when Lyor Cohen does it. I am a big fan of Lyor Cohen. He has a great career which I admire and he did great things for the music business.
