  5. Ego Trip's Book of Rap Lists w/ Blockhead + Alaska Atoms (Rawkus Chronicles - Patreon Clip)

    Show notes

    FULL EPISODE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ego-trips-book-w-121038011

    Welcome to a collab effort with Alaska Atoms and Call Out Culture, with a very special guest in the house - hip hop producer Blockhead! And as we travel through our Rawkus Chronicles to the year 2000, we come upon 'Ego Trip's The Big Playback - The Soundtrack to Ego Trip's Book of Rap Lists'. But a slight twist this month - we won't be revisiting the album. Instead we thought it would be much more fun to dig into Ego Strip, and it's monumental rap nerd bible - 'Ego Trip's Book of Rap Lists' 📚

  18. Slept-On Wu-Tang: 'The Sun' Track Review | Ep. 188

    Show notes

    SUUUUUUU! Welcome to another dip into the Wu-Tang Clan chamber. We jump into our Slept-On Wu Bangers Spotify playlist (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0iESHJ2ZPR33rhl9mHEmRx) and pick out a song to break down on the show.

    Back in 2001, Ghostface Killah was hitting his apex, and one of the best songs to encapsulate this is 'The Sun'. A deep cut that never got the chance to open his album 'Bulletproof Wallets', thanks to RZA being too high to remember the sample for clearance, this song may well be the best example of Wu-Tang being for the children. Featuring Raekwon, Slick Rick and RZA, we bring your our takes on this incredible track.

  19. Armand Hammer 3-Album Run w/ PremRock | Ep. 187

    Show notes

    Welcome back to our series digging into the greatest three-album runs in hip hop history, and today we bring you some modern classics from one of the best rap duos putting in work - Armand Hammer.

    We dig into the genius of billy woods and Elucid with rapper PremRock, travelling through 2017's Rome, 2018's Paraffin and 2020's Shrines, looking at why this run is so special, and how it taps into the entire history of rap in just three records.

    Featuring a ton of amazing guest contributions, from the likes of rapper Defcee, writer Ginger Slim, producer SonRaw, and the elite rap pod voices of Nate LeBlanc (Dad Bod Rap Pod), Dan O (Freemusic Empire), Rohan (The Rap Music Plug Podcast), and the Extraordinary Rap crew. Yep, this one be STACKED!
