Ep 25 - Noreaga - N.O.R.E. (25 Year Anniversary)
zhlédnutí 302Před 10 měsíci
With the success of their debut album THE WAR REPORT Capone-N-Noreaga had the hip-hop world on notice and the anticipation for their follow up LP was high. There was only one problem, Capone was locked up and he would be for a while. Instead of letting that momentum go to waste Noreaga took matters into his own hands & enlisted some of the hottest artist in the game to come along for the ride o...
Ep 24 - Killer Mike - MICHAEL Review
zhlédnutí 161Před 11 měsíci
There's been some talk about 2023 not producing a hip-hop album with any substance. Some think things are too mundane & other feels the genre is on a decline.

zhlédnutí 374Před rokem
DMX has a story unlike any other. From his upbringing and life in the street, to his rise into superstardom and ultimately his passing in 2021 it seems like the Dark Man X had literally done in all. But before he was walking red carpets, he was stalking the streets and serving any MC that dared challenge him. After a few false starts DMX finally got his chance to bark with the big dogs in 1998 ...

Ep 19 - Various Artists - WHO'S THE MAN Soundtrack (30 Year Review)
zhlédnutí 90Před rokem
For many years the soundtrack has been a great way to break artist, try out records & utilize motion picture studio budgets in the music space. The Who's The Man soundtrack does all of the above. From promoting known Uptown/MCA acts like Mary J. Blige & Jodeci to breaking newer acts the BIG (later known as The Notorious B.I.G.) this soundtrack was the perfect setting for some amazing music to b...

Love watching yall!!! Entertaining and funny at the same time 💯💞
Over analyzation 😢
New follower!!!
The offseason was better then mr morale and the big steppers. Forrest Hill Drive is better then Damn. Sorry to say.
Cole the 🐐
Dope
Love the album and the show! Great work! 🔥
Pun was a better Lyricist
Big Pun- GOAT
He was not better
🎉❤ 💯
i disagree with "i need to be". its a needed record (also there r three verses not four). plus he says "if u f@@@ a girl thats young u gon end up in a cage, cos her mom dont wanna hear that u never knew her age". its a record to alert men to know who they are trynna mess with and do their research, monifah did her thing on that record too
for the record, do you wanna get money (all this money that we can make) was featuring faith evans not kelly price
2pac forever...
Thanks Y'all God Bless Everyone
Nah. Y’all not listening properly
Amerie 1 thing came out after Beyoncé Crazy In Love… Crazy In Love came out in 03 and 1 thing was release in 05
Don't try to front on Nas like he's trash. He just has more to rap about than just drugs and money.
Great episode y’all 🎉
To me, Hip Hop Star paved the way for stuff she'd do later like No Angel off Self Titled and All Up In Your Mind off Renaissance
SEE YOU GET ITTTT! Had it not been for Hip Hop Star wouldn't even have the vibe we got on self titled maybe
When you have Zion a 9.5 and Doo Wop a 9 I had to quit watching 🙄 by the way Zion has 2 kids of his own now…it seems like so many people refuse to give the credit that’s due even when they call themselves paying homage but that’s what happens when someone is so damn dope at what they do…Go Lauryn!! 👑🔥
You guys could’ve kept these ratings!!! How TF Final Hour get 8.5???? Tell me what was the point of making this video!?🙄GTFOH
I literally gave Doo Wop a 10 🤷🏾♂ Thanks for watching and for your passion‼
guys I have no clue why the subs are only 180...this is my favourite hiphop review channel
Thank you
Yo this was the funniest shit I seen in a while lmao. I f wit y’all energy 💪🏽 love me some Jaz also
My second video I watched from y’all. I tried to give it a chance 🤦🏾♂️. Y’all don’t know music like that. You two don’t have any understanding or insight on music
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it? Jay Z Renegade lyrics You guys talk without any real perspective. Did you see any of this guys videos to the songs you are trying to pick apart ? Maybe the videos will help you understand.
I’m fukked up here did YALL listen to the album mfr WHERE ……. God damn shut tha fk up Jesus…..
Loved this. And Bonsu surprised me!! (I'm @easineye).. the best review as of yet(b/c B AGREED W/ ME😂😂😂). GREAT JOB FELLAS, as per usual!!!
Love the podcast but it’s super difficult to listen to with the yelling on the mic..
im confused to why only 87 subs to such a damn dope channel. Please more content
Salute to D Dot/The Mad Rapper 🙏🏿💯
Murder Ma$e a beast
Ma$e still my favorite rapper
The slander of T.S. is a bit much lol
Loved this episode, as I’m a Pun fan. One of my favourite albums of all time. He had everything covered on this album. Since you mentioned it, I actually wouldn’t mind an episode on Joe’s “All That I Am”. Haha. That was definitely peak Joe.
Naw bruh Straight From The Sewer was nasty. I had to replay the first 16 bars over and over because the way the initial delivery came off was sick. Plus that song had a wicked reverb / delay with the lyrics. Go back and listen to it.
Fu Shnickens was out at that time and fast, but Das creativity and word play was just nasty.
LOL- “I don’t have any friends. I don’t know any women” - Torae Y’all are hilarious. Sza is amazing and problematic all at once. I’m at once rocking with her and like “Sis, are you ok?”
Spot on!! 😂😂
Tupac mom name is Afeni Shakur, his aunt name is Assata Shakur, she's been living in exile in Cuba since the late 70's since escaping prison.
Good Shit Fellas🔥 I can see your point on the sequencing of 21 questions, but where else could he have put the track on the track list when every other track fit so perfect back to back.
Cool.
Btw idk how deep y'all are into Kendrick, but if you haven't heard of the Kendrick Lamar LP or Overly Dedicated.... Dawg. Songs like Vanity Slaves, Opposites Attract, Wanna Be Heard, Let Me Be Me, Ignorance is Bliss, The Heart pt 2... all classics
Kodak to Kendrick is like his reflection of himself and how the world views black people. He sees the outcast type bul that Kodak is..he's an unapologetically street lookin black man that flaunts and acts reckless. Kendrick utilized him to convey the message that he got that side of him too. I appreciate and praise the layers of this project even though he intended for most of these records not to have a sonic appeal.
