Nobody does real talk like Reggie Ossé a.k.a. Combat Jack. The former rap industry attorney, media executive, author, and Internet radio talk-show personality now hosts The Combat Jack Show, where hip-hop's biggest names are put on the front line. The questions will be tough—and shots will be fired. Co-hosted by Dallas Penn, Premium Pete, and Just Blaze, The Combat Jack Show appears every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday on Complex TV.

In the final part of our interview with Large Professor on The Combat Jack Show, Extra P talks about hearing Jay-Z's "Takeover" for the first time, how he didn't want Nas to use the beat on "Ether," and how "Ether" was "watered down." Extra P also throws in an interesting tidbit, revealing that the original version of "Ether" was produced by Swizz Beatz, not Ron Browz. Just Blaze steps in to discuss the difference between "Ether" and "Takeover." Just also talks about having a gun pulled on him because of beef between rival rap crews.
