Ep.38 - A Decade Of Hits That'll Live Forever
December 24, 2019 12:30 - 1 hour - 72.9 MBThe 2010s... It's been an interesting one for sure. The music landscape has shifted dramatically in the past 9-10 years. Hip-Hop is now a dominant force in the music world, it's become easier to get into music and to get big, but even harder to stay on top. The world has sped up so fast, but we attempt to slow it all down for an hour and look forward to the new decade as well as take a look back.

Ep.37 - Wish We Could Find A Way To Live Forever
December 17, 2019 12:30 - 1 hour - 58.3 MBThe posthumous album is something that we want and don't want in equal measure. When somebody says "Do you want never-heard-before music from an artist you like?", of course, you're going to say yes! But when that artist isn't alive to have a say, some take pause and ask themselves do they want it? There are many places to look at posthumous albums, there are many examples, good and bad. The DITD duo discusses as many angles as possible. TIMESTAMPS: Weekly Music Roundup - (1:52) ...

36: Ep.36 - Question. How Many Faking They Streams?
December 10, 2019 12:30 - 1 hour - 72.2 MBOn Ep.36 of DITD: Certification. Billboard. The RIAA & all the other organisations based on where you are. Has streaming made it all irrelevant? Was it irrelevant long before streaming? FULL SHOW NOTES & TIMESTAMPS - https://share.transistor.fm/s/cac72ade
Ep.36 - Question. How Many Faking They Streams?
December 10, 2019 12:30 - 1 hour - 72.2 MBCertifications are confusing. Simple as that. A lot of us claim to know a lot about it but in reality, past platinum plaques, we know nothing. Charlie has been long done with the certifications ever since Nicki Minaj broke a record held by Aretha Franklin. Ben, as the numbers guy, stands on the other side of the fence but the two come together in acknowledging that these numbers, especially in the mainstream, are fugazi. We simply accept it as a mode of conversation and that's it. ...

Ep.31 - You Don't Want To Test The Duo
November 05, 2019 12:30 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBThe concept of a duo is an interesting one. You have one-time duos that catch a vibe and decide to make a project together. (The Throne, Drake & Future) You have homegrown duos that grow together (Eric B & Rakim, Mobb Deep, OutKast) and you have anomalies like Run The Jewels that just find the rare camaraderie that is as if they were homegrown. You also have the duos that rely on expertise. That's where the 1 MC, 1 Producer collabs come in. The DITD duo explores duos from all angle...

October 08, 2019 11:30 - 1 hour - 67.8 MBHip-Hop indulges in plenty of things we can consider negative. Money, sex, guns, gangs to name a few. But none of those has been as contentious as the conversation around drugs. Back in the day, Hip-Hop were the sellers of them because that's what Uncle Sam forced them to do. Some outright denounced it, some made positives out of the negative. Now, Hip-Hop are the buyers, the users, and people have died due to this tectonic shift.

September 10, 2019 21:30 - 1 hour - 74.2 MB"Trash" - Something that is of low quality. There's a lot of words in the Hip-Hop lexicon that are used freely & frequently. "Classic" & "GOAT" have been think-pieced to death in recent years, but what about "trash"? Whenever an album, EP or song drops, there is always somebody to label it "trash". But what do we really mean when we say "trash"? Do we mean it's the worst thing ever? The worst thing by that artist? The DITD duo dives into "trash" figuratively and literally. You're ...
