You might have sent all your hate mail to him on Twitter, but do you really know MTV News’ Rob Markman? Al Lindstrom sat down with him recently to speak on how he got his start in writing and how far he’s come since freelancing and working in a mail room to being an integral part of our culture through hard work and determination.
If you weren’t aware, Rob played a big part of XXL’s big Freshmen 10 covers during his tenure at Harris Publishing, which later led to his role at MTV in 2011. One thing you can respect about him is his love and passion for Hip-Hop, always coming from a fan perspective, buying albums and still watching concerts from the crowd.
For those out there with dreams of working in the industry, doing what you love, Rob is a great example of the hustle and love that it takes to make it. Pay attention.
