For November 11, 2007. It was twenty years ago that the major label debut of rap artist Ice-T, 'Rhyme Pays,' was released. There's no explicit lyrics in this podcast, but I do talk about the record and its influence on the genre. I also offer some thoughts on the nature of soul, art, and pop culture.
