It's not exactly like the upside-down. Maybe call it the leftside-right? Matt and Rav head back in time to discuss one of hip-hop's greatest songs, T.R.O.Y. (They Reminisce Over You). They review some of the ethics of sampling - per writer Joseph Schloss - assess the hip-hop scene in 1992, and break down why T.R.O.Y. exemplifies the beauty of sampling.
P.S. my Spotify isn't loading so I'm not linking the albums, but if you wanna look them up, we talk about Tom Scott's Honeysuckle Breeze (meh), Pete Rock & CL Smooth's Mecca and the Soul Brother (hell yeah) and The Main Ingredient (also hell yeah). If you wanna look forward to our next episode, check out industrial hip-hop group clipping.'s back catalog and their new album, There Existed An Addiction To Blood. -Matt
