Rap Thought Podcast
107 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsMatt and Brandon are the Rap Thought Podcast. Each episode, they share their thoughts and perspectives on a hiphop album chosen at random. From the 80s to current releases, no album is off limits. This is not a review podcast; conversely they break down and analyze the albums that are chosen for them. Their vision is to bring the listener along with them while they dive deep into each album. They're not your average album reviewers, they incite thought and meaning behind the music. The hosts, Matt & Brandon have very different backgrounds and perspectives when it comes to music, society and culture which leads to thought provoking dialogue centered around the albums they discuss. These conversations will lead to much more than just the music as they take a deeper look into the context and environment surrounding the release of each record discussed. Matt was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley in Southern California attending small private schools. His first hip hop was Beastie Boys License to Ill in 3rd grade and since then he has been a hip hop head immersing himself in all things rap since then. Brandon grew up in the North Bay Area about 1 hour north of San Fransisco. He has lived in small towns his whole life and has an insatiable knack for questioning everything to understand it. Brandon's first introduction to rap was at a young age and ever since then he has been breaking down lyrics of his favorite rap songs.Matt & Brandon are the Rap Thought Podcast.

Outkast - Atliens Thoughts
March 24, 2021 14:00 - 1 hour - 48.4 MBWhen it comes to Outkast, arguably their most popular projects are Stankonia and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. But what about that 96 project?

March 10, 2021 15:00 - 57 minutes - 39.7 MBIf you’re looking for some “Treats for the kiddies”, perhaps you’re in the “Wrong Place”. However, there’s “No Need for Alarm”, as the album title for this week’s episode suggests, as Matt and Brandon cover Del the Funky Homosapien.

Che Noir - As Thoughts Intended
March 03, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 48.5 MBIf you’re looking for an album that eloquently illustrates someone’s upbringing in a tough environment, while reflecting how it has influenced the person that they are today, it’s recommended that you “Follow the Wisdom” of this week’s artist featured on the Rap Thought Podcast, Che Noir.

Eminem - Infinite Thoughts
February 24, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 44 MBWe all know The Slim Shady LP, The Eminem Show... most love MMLP and vehemently hate Revival. However, the one that doesn’t make a lot of conversations is Eminem’s 96’ project Infinite.

Tune in this week with Brandon and Matt as they take a look at this debut album, as Slim Shady explores the rap landscape with radio friendly lyrics in search...

Th1rt3en - A Magnificent Day for Thoughts
February 10, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 50.1 MBWhat if we are all animals trapped within the cage that is our city? Cults are popping up holding oppressive values, and it’s up to us to to traverse the “Yellowbrick” road to sever the “Goat’s Head”, all with “triskaidekaphobia” lurking in the shadows. If all this and then some grabs your attention, perhaps “A Beautiful Day for an Exorcism” might be of interest.

Join us as we dive into this interes...
Tech N9ne - Anghellic Thoughts
January 13, 2021 15:00 - 1 hour - 54.9 MB“Angelic” is defined in the dictionary as 1) relating to angels, and 2) exceptionally beautiful, innocent or kind. But what happens when you blend that with a “Tormented” and “Cursed” individual stuck in “Purgatory”? You get Anghellic by the “Sinister Tech” (N9ne). This 2001 album touches on the complex dichotomy of good and evil, as Tech struggles with his vices (sex, drugs, alcohol, etc.), while also trying to balance his personal life with his stage life. Tune in this week with Brandon a...

December 30, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 44 MBThis week on the Rap Thought Pod, Brandon and Matt “Ease Back” and “Travel at the speed of thought” with Critical Beatdown by Ultramagetic MCS. Dropped in ‘88, this album sits well with talking down on other MCs, staking their claim while giving props to the dj at the same time. However, how much of of that formula is needed to get that point across? How strong are tracks when they discuss the “royal” you versus a particular person? These thoughts and more are discussed this week. Check o...
Tyler The Creator - Scum Thoughts Flower Boy
December 23, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 52.7 MBIf you’re a low key casual listener of Tyler the Creator like Brandon and Matt are, perhaps you only encounter his music by slim chances. Maybe the only knowledge you have of him are the outlandish content he puts in his music, or the antics he gets into with Odd Future.

December 09, 2020 15:00 - 55 minutes - 38.2 MBThis week on the Rap Thought Pod, Brandon and Matt hit the 90’s once more for OC’s “Jewelz”. With some familiar vibes, such as claiming to be the best MC in NY fashion, and story telling to some Dj Preimier boom bap, the album is reminiscent to previous albums. However, when you claim this to be your world because you are the chosen one, and declare war games on other MCs, can you maintain that position and stand out from the competition? Check all this and more this week. Check out more he...

KMD - Thought Bastard
November 18, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 45.5 MB“Bl_ck B_st_rds”. Read that, then study the sambo figure being lynched on the cover, then let it be known that the album was shelved because of the controversial content. KMD’s 1993 project was later formally released in 2001, and then had some rap thoughts put on it by Brandon and Matt for this weeks episode. As this album is dissected, questions asking if looks can be deceiving, if the themes are as controversial now as they were then, and if the content matches the controversy arise in th...

November 11, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 46.9 MBWhen Lloyd Banks dropped The Hunger for More in 2004, what was he talking about? Money? Power? Respect? Fame?

Sa-Roc - The Sharecropper's Thoughts
October 21, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 58.6 MB“...rather inspire truth than entertain you.” If you’re looking for the stereotypical female rap artist that’s more about image than content, this week’s episode isn’t it as Sa-Roc raps “I’m more widely known for my hippocampus than my hips and thighs” from her latest drop, “The Sharecropper’s Daughter”. There’s quite a bit to unpack with this album, as she invites us in to her own struggles and experiences, and ties it in with generational trauma inherited through family. Each vulnerable tr...

October 14, 2020 14:00 - 55 minutes - 37.9 MBThis week on the Rap Thought Pod, Brandon and Matt take a listen to “Fadanuf fa Erybody” by the Odd Squad. Not to be confused with PBS Kids “Odd Squad”, this group, AKA “The Coughee Brothaz” is for sure not your after school program. However, if the program you’re seeking requires jazz produced beats by a blind producer/rapper named Rob Quest, a funky style by Devin the Dude, and additional funny lyrics by Smugg Mugg, this pot smoking, pit diving good vibes record might be what you’re lookin...

October 07, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 53.4 MBThis week on the rap thought pod, we take a look at Elzhi’s latest drop “Seven Times Down, Eight Times Up.” Former member of Slum Village (hey, didn’t we cover them?), Elzhi brings a finesse to his bars that you have to keep coming back to, as there is something there that you missed the last time. With all the tracks exuding some form of confidence along with other elements, you won’t leave wondering why the album was given the name it was. With all that, does it have the “potential” to be...

September 16, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 42.1 MBFor this week’s episode, Brandon and Matt take a look at the genie in the lamp, a stupid doo doo dumb young black brotha rapper gone bad. Yes, Mac Dre’s the name, and we’re touching on “Thizzelle Washington”. Dre is nothing less than a Bay Area icon, so even if you haven’t listened to him, you have heard of him. If you haven’t heard of him, you’re familiar with the hyphy movement that he set off. Join us as we touch on his music, his influences, and as we compare the early 00’s mixed cd era ...
Jean Grae - Thoughts Week
September 09, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 45.6 MBOn this week’s episode of the Rap Thought Podcast, we touch on Jean Grae’s “This Week”. She is not another mainstream female artist only talking about WAP and selling sex. Aside from some filler here and there, we left considering her an underrated artist that isn’t talked about enough. High energy, bars and flow that could keep up with most of the people out there, is that not enough to contend with the other high profile artists? What is this X-Men inspired artist about? If you haven’t hea...

After selecting 2 artists each as a focus, while lightly listening to the remaining artists, we’ll give you ...

Little Brother - The Minstrel Thoughts
August 19, 2020 14:00 - 1 hour - 52.2 MBThis week, the rap thought podcast tunes to channel 94 to catch UBN’s Minstrel Show. Hosted by Little Brother, which consists of Phonte, Rapper Big Pooh and 9th Wonder, they aim to put a spotlight on black culture with some satirical references via minstrel show.

We discuss all this and more in this week...
