At some point, everyone we know moves on. Many times their passing is from drawn-out, casually crippling causes like cancer or diabetes. Other times whimsical outliers like heart attacks, natural disasters, or even murder, come into play to take them away. Last year, the 18-year-old step-brother of New York radio personality Peter Rosenberg was unfortunately a statistic amidst the latter category, passing away after being the victim in a drunk driving accident.
Now, with the sentencing of the at-fault driver finalized, the typically easy-going, wrestling-loving tastemaker released the following PSA to rappers, asking them to stop embracing swerving behind the wheel in their songs. Using clips of Kanye and Wiz, along with his own gut-wrenching sincerity, the on-air personality makes many points loud and clear for the influential MCs, in hopes of making a broad scale difference.
Listen up before it’s too late.

Thanks for the post. Thinking of anyone in particular? Told you I wouldn’t do this, but I just had to.
That’s real. If XV were a little bigger, he coulda thrown “Swervin” in there in its entirety.
I almost made a point to say that
UUGGHH!!! Trill shit…
Salute Rosenberg. It’s not often enough that our hip hop personalities actually stand up for something they believe it.
I live in the same town as his late step-brother. We went to different high schools but I always chilled with a lot of his friends and a beautiful 18 year old girl that also passed in the accident. Y’all don’t even know how much this his impacted the community. The sad thing is people keep getting behind the wheel drunk…niggas feel invincible or some shit. Maybe it would help for artists to stop co-signing drinkin and driving….
either way, s/o to rosenberg
Good job bringing this forward to a larger scale. spread the word. PUMP THE BREAKS!
All truth… I used to be mad reckless behind the wheel, and sometimes I think I’m lucky I didn’t get caught, but really, I’m just lucky I never hurt anyone.
“sometimes I think I’m lucky I didn’t get caught, but really, I’m just lucky I never hurt anyone.”
well put.
Yep. When I think back on some of those times I cringe at how much damage I could have done driving..makes me sick to my stomach.
yep. we’ve all been there. drunk driving/buzzed driving is one of those things where we know we can’t justify it yet we do it anyway and get annoyed when people tell us not to.
HUZZAH!
DK i still don’t have my liscence…
