In the final ep, 90’s hip-hop talent from different regions get shine (Detroit’s Eminem, ATL’s OutKast, etc.) and the struggles of female MCs are explored. Too bad that part is just as relevant today.
Hope you enjoyed our program. Ha!
Peace to EMZ.

Of course whenever you recall our history, you have to discuss the deaths of Biggie-Pac, East/West rivalries and how we survived it all.

This one is dedicated to the left side of the globe. You know the West Coast had a chokehold on the game. Didn’t know if they were ever gonna let go.

Episode 2 focuses on the evolution of rap music in the 80’s into a multi-million dollar business. Truth be told: We was all rollin’ with Rush.

Had this in the stash so long, I forgot I had it. This was an excellent 2004 documentary on our culture that aired on VH1 and was written by my good friend, Bill Adler (google him, kids!). There were five episodes and this was the first entitled Back In The Day. Like that 20/20 special RR brought you, we’re here to educate as well as entertain. All y’all do is steal content. Ha!
Apparently, the megapowers just finished shooting the video to “Run This Town”.

Yup, Algernod’s got another album coming whether you like it or not. Here he explains how a popular TV show influenced one of his new songs.
“I got a song right now called ‘First 48,‘ ” the Florida native revealed. “It’s wrapped around the whole TV series ‘The First 48 Hours.’ I’m telling you on the record: ‘Everybody is a goon until they catch a case/ When the detectives get to the talking/ All that gangsta shit fades away/ The first 10 minutes, dog, you started off straight/ Detective applied a little pressure, you turn around and break.’
“That whole situation for me, that intro, I’m sitting here watching TV, and I didn’t know it was that many unreal dudes still left in the streets,” he continued. “I just focused on that situation. That’s one of them records on my album I call ‘choir rehearsal.’ I know everybody is gonna sing it every time I perform it.”
Should be interesting. Plus, Goon Affiliated is the first album where Plies is gonna let other rappers get their special guest on. We’re on the hunt for them names first.

“Time to take it over. Minus all that bakin’ soda.”
A lil’ FLA love this morning. In case you ain’t know, DJ Khaled’s radio partner K Foxx moved to the Rottten Apple to be part of Hot 97’s new morning show with Cipha Sounds and Rosenberg. So now with his Takeover program for dolo, Mr. We The Best needed a new theme song so guess who he called. He dialed 911 and boom. Ha!

Sidebar: Remember when the original “Ten Crack Commandments” was a radio promo Preemo and Jeru The Damaja did for Angie Martinez? You geeks on the Internets need to find that. Y’all slippin’.

Lord knows I’ve steadily clowned this dude and my brother and I have joked a lot about the melody of this tune in particular. But here’s the shock of your life: I’m kinda diggin’ this live session version. That is until Kanye’s replacement comes in and screws it up. Oh well, close but no cigar.

This was a solid piece, especially how it highlights Benny The Butcher’s personality and presence during the car interview. I like how it shows a more relaxed, real side of him while still keeping that raw energy he is known for. It’s interesting to see how artists can express themselves differently in casual settings compared to a studio or stage environment. It also made me think about how comfort and setup matter in everyday situations, not just in music or media. For example, when you spend a lot of time in a vehicle, small upgrades can really improve the experience. Something like kei truck seat covers can help keep things comfortable and protect your seats at the same time. It’s all about finding ways to improve both comfort and longevity in whatever you use daily.
