RIP Reggie Ossé aka Combat Jack

[harlemtothebronx]

This came out of left field. Over almost the last decade, Combat changed podcasting by introducing a whole culture to it. He changed the podcasting game in a lot of ways, and created a lane for dudes like Desus & Mero, Tax, Budden ect to flourish. I saw a digital ad for The Read while getting on the train the other day. His impact is going to live on forever.

RIP to the god. I'm sure a lot of us have spent hours upon hours listening to the Combat Jack show and all of the hundreds of other pods that sprung out around it. Good thing is his impact will continue everyday with every new Loud Speakers pod that drops.

This really caught me off guard.

Stage 4 colon cancer, man.

Funny you replying, because you're the one who posted the Combat/Ebro Payola conversation here. That's where I started with the show. Props ninjahood

Caught me off guard, because the last Combat I think I listened to was when he announced it.

I wasn't sure if they had a guest host or A King doing it in recent weeks.

I started listening probably shortly after they transitioned from internet radio to a podcast. It wasn't too late for me to all the pods I had missed with interesting guest.

back in the Dallas, Racist Pete, Matt Razz and Ben days.

Classic era, man. The show was so much more of just a hangout. Miss that vibe.

RIP Reggie.

Definitely introduced me to podcasts. That Return of Dame Dash episode went viral and I've been a podcast listener ever since.





It don't stop.
