When it comes to abrasive personalities in hip hop media, few can rival Troi “Star” Torain. As the host of the successful and often-controversial Star & Buc Wild morning show, Star both thrilled and offended audiences with his no-holds-barred style. He continued to build a dedicated following after he was fired from Power 105, and eventually found a new home at the upstart radio station Pulse 87.
Now, it seems like the infamous “Star Chamber” has a new project on the horizon. On YouTube, he recently posted a clip from an upcoming episode of his new series, Objective Hate. The clip is an announcement video for the show, and it features Star in a dark room, surrounded by voices of those who have tried to demean him. The clips include some from Desus & Mero, Sway in the Morning, and Charlamagne Tha God.
While Star has always had an abrasive personality, Objective Hate takes things to another level. It’s not meant to be a serious book about philosophy or anything, but it does offer a lot of insight into the way that Star thinks. He covers a lot of ground in the book, including some personal details about his past. This includes his time as an actual street pimp, and some of the crazier moments from his early days on the air.
He also discusses some of the high points from his career in the world of hip hop radio, and what made him such a fan favorite. He even touches on some of the controversy that followed him from his abrasive attitude and comments. This includes his on-air call to help find the 4-year-old daughter of a rival radio host, which ended up in a full blown war of words that got him fired from his job.
As with any good podcast, the episode’s audio is high quality, and the content is delivered in a very entertaining manner. It’s not for everyone, but those who enjoy Star’s no-holds-barred personality should definitely check out this latest offering.
Troi “Star” Torain is known for bringing his aggressive energy to the Complex Everyday Struggle show, and it’s clear that the network knew what they had with him. When Joe Budden left the show this year, they brought in a host who was just as eager to get into heated debates with rappers like Lil Yachty and Migos. That host was none other than former Power 105 radio host, Troi “Star” Torain.
In his first show as a co-host of Everyday Struggle, Star took aim at Toronto artist Shel-B G.T, and the resulting diss track is titled “The Shelb Sweater.” This is just one of many examples of how hard-hitting and honest STAR’s content can be. He’s certainly not afraid to take shots at artists who may not like him, but he never lets anyone’s ego get in the way of a great conversation. This is why so many people love the show, and this new clip confirms that he’ll be back for a second season.star troi torain
