Star goes in on 40 Glocc for threatening him on Twitter, speaks on Kendrick Lamar firing cannon rounds at the Hip Hop industry on "Control," his interview with China Starr and more on the Troi Torain Show

Radio legend Troi Torain (STAR) always delivers hard-hitting objective truth. As a culture critic he is vicious, as a businessman he is relentless, as a luminary he is un-matched.

Considered radio pioneers by many, the Star & Buc Wild show has set precedents on the urban landscape and was recently inducted into News One's "Top 20 Black Radio Jockeys Of All Time."

Star & Buc Wild made the national stage on MTV (1999) but it was their radio show on New York's Hot 97 (2000 - 2003) that secured their place in Hip-Hop history.

Star & Buc Wild's resume includes The Source magazine, MTV Networks, Hot 97, Power 104.1, Power 105.1, Pulse 87, Hip-Hop Weekly magazine, Vladtv, Thisis50, 100.3 The Beat and shot97.com and VH1 (Reality Television).

This clip is from STAR's LIVE show (12noon -- 2pm) on http://shot97.com.

Meek Mill paid a visit to Philadelphia radio station Power 99 to chop it up with Mina SayWhat. He spoke on Hype Williams directing his "Levels" music video, liking Magna Carta Holy Grail, says he's dropping a body of music within a month and responds to Kendrick Lamar's "Control" verse.

Meek made it clear that in his mind the situation with Kendrick is all about competition.

"Put your vest on, I'mma throw some shots too and have some fun with it. That's what hip hop is all about," Meek said. "I'mma tell him 'y'all run what y'all run, I run the streets.' I'm in a lane by myself. I'm the only one that's lyrically spitting some street sh*t in music and getting money. I'mma tell him that in a rap too. Y'all can run that backpack, I'mma run these streets. Hip Hop needed that. He just said what everybody be thinking. He's in a great space for now. You know how this game goes."
