Ep.53 - DITD 1st Anniversary Special
April 07, 2020 11:50 - 1 hour - 86.9 MBAround this time last year, I DM'd Ben on a whim to pitch the idea of a Hip-Hop Podcast. He was up for it and gave it a year to see if it goes well. We planned to record a few Beta episodes to get our feet on solid ground, but the 2nd one we recorded was solid, so we thought "F*** it! Let's pull the trigger." And now we're here, 53 episodes later, no off week, always coming through on Tuesday with your weekly dose of me & Ben breaking down Hip-Hop in the way we do, with a sprinkle ...

March 31, 2020 11:50 - 1 hour - 86.6 MBMs Lauryn Hill has been an enigma once the turn of the century came around. A superstar talent discovered so early and lauded with praise and recognition in an even shorter amount of time. And then after 2002, she fell back. Since then we've seen her now and again with a feature or single & touring again but nothing suggests that she is going to fully get back into creating a full body of work.

Ep.49 - Missy Elliott - Put My Thing Down, Flip It & Reverse It
March 10, 2020 12:50 - 1 hour - 78.4 MBMissy Elliott has rightly been celebrated in the past few years. It's been wonderful to see such a modern legend get her flowers. But after this episode, we hope you realise that we're still not celebrating her enough. Not from a standpoint of influence but one of reverence. The term "one of one" is rarely the perfect phrase to describe someone but for Missy, it fits like a glove.

February 11, 2020 12:50 - 1 hour - 76.4 MBSome time has passed since Billie Eilish made her comments on Rap. Hip-Hop has constantly had to defend itself from comments like these decades before Eilish was even born. It's a dead conversation on the surface. But below the surface, there is a deeper conversation to be had. One of fighting for authenticity, why is it always Hip-Hop?

February 04, 2020 12:50 - 1 hour - 77.4 MBThe Grammys have been & gone and it's yet another year of disappointment. But this year feels different. Not only can the Recording Academy not recognise Hip-Hop like it's successfully done for decades, but now it's not even recognising Hip-Hop artists that explicitly say their work isn't Hip-Hop. But hey, black= Hip-Hop/R&B/Jazz, right? And let's not even start with "URBAN"... So what is the problem? And more importantly, what are the solutions? Should Hip-Hop plead for better r...

In recent years, entire albums have been dropping that have no third verse to be seen. One could say that this is a concerted effort to make music shorter for the short attention masses.

January 07, 2020 12:30 - 1 hour - 71.7 MBThink for a moment about where you get Hip-Hop news. Now think about where you get quotes from people of note. Unlike the regular News Journalism we all know of, Music Journalism isn't so easy to define. Because a majority of the news we get is either bare-bones information such as 1st Week sales or release dates. Or they simply come from the source and leads outlets to just regurgitate the information (e.g. An artist saying something incendiary on IG Live.) So what is Music Jour...
