Fresh Of My Fresh

Episode #76 but I'm not calling it quits. A salute to people I've lost in the past few years with a positive outlook on the future. We've only got so much time left in this crazy world…

Part 2 because Spotify For Creators won't let you put parts of episodes together anymore. Same read out as the previous part.

This is an unintentional two part because the way Spotify For Creators is set up now is dumb. I salute Chino XL,Saafir & DJ Clark Kent. Up on the hit list is Numbers,follower counts,bots,the grand migration of people leaving twitter for Blue Sky and the anti-climactic issue of sample snitching. Album of the episode is Geto Boys-The Resurrection. Leave a question in the Q&A or speak on how you feel about the episode.

The first episode after a non-planned hiatus. Rest in power to Deadstock Jay. I apologize to all listeners. Back to work.

I do a career retrospective on Phyllis Hyman and deliver some real talk at the end. It the start of a new month.

Part 2 of the previous episode.

6/18/1996. An album often mentioned by name. An album that has reached its prestige. An album worth going back to revisit. 8000 & I go back in time to talk about Heltah Skeltahs' debut in two parts.

I had to do this one for James Lett. It's been a year. It's only right.

One month after the previous episode,Kendrick vs Drake and the think piece cometh…why a long career in rap is frowned upon…it got interrupted but we continue on…

Off the dome episode meant to discuss writers. Well,we got there but went to absolute elsewhere. A “lifestyle” episode. Plenty of jewelry passed out.

We're back! And we'll probably offend some folks with the episode but a lot of stuff had to be said. We operated under blackout stipulations as well. Heavy listener discretion is advised. Not for kids advisory.

It's the Fresh Of My Fresh christmas and new year episode that's not an christmas and new year episode. Deadstock & I talk a gang of stuff and look at 2023 in the rear view while moving towards the new year. Thanks to all the listeners and supporters. End of season 5.

The end of the suite. It seems we don't stop talking. There some talk about obscure down south rap albums too because that's what you tuned in to this podcast for.

Deadstock talks music and existentials while I go over my top ten episodes listened. I don't believe I made it through the list so that's there.

We start off talking candy with a horrible marketing idea to the top ten episodes of this podcast. Deadstock Jay is with on part two of the anniversary episode.

The podcast is four years in. We open up the festivities with the current conversation about one rapper calling out several other rappers and the outrage that comes from choosing. Part 1 of the event.

I picked BDP “13 and good” because people had been misinterpreting the message of this cautionary tale. On the flip side,Deadstock Jay joins in on the conversation of old vs young and the outcome is very simple.

Rachie Mack,hwic of Rachie Mack Film Productions sits down with me to get a quick talk in about things surrounding her career leading up to the premiere of her murder mystery dinner in the form of a play,Dysfunctional Family on friday 10/27 in Mobile. Nothing of this sort has been done before and I'm on the ground floor for it. This is episode #60 btw

A salute to David McCallum and why folks have just discovered he was sampled,Mississippi HipHop origins and Budden/Drake. Yeah,it's in there.

The last great album release date in rap. Five albums dropped that day and their impact is discussed. A Tribe Called Quest-The Love Movement…Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star…Jay-Z-Vol.2…Hard Knock Life…Brand Nubian-Foundation…OutKast-Aquemini…

In an reaction to what Special Ed said on Drink Champs(9/16) I do a quick little ep on the three groups in rap that gave the most game on why rap sounds at its most raunchy,gangsta,pimpish etc…also R.I.P. David McCallum.

I have Inkwell from D5 on here for a very spirited conversation that's been in the making. Everything Mobile getting touched on here.

Getting back to what I did best when I started,I talk about two southern rap albums that had a heavy influence in their eras. Odd Squad-Fadanuf Fa Erybody from 1994 & MC Shy D-Got To Be Tough from 1987.

You've heard her voice on various MF DOOM albums but you haven't heard her like this. This long awaited conversation with fam explores her humble beginnings at Stress Magazine,talks about the start of Complex magazine,some DOOM related stuff and even dips into some down south HipHop.This episode is one big ol' golden nutrient.

Season 5 opener where I share my disgust for these 50 years of HipHop celebrations that's done by non-HipHop people which turns into a dedication of two of my fallen friends. That's it. That's the episode.

Deadstock Jay & I tear down the idea that folks that listen to rap music need to make lists or greatest of all time lists when the art form has been here since the late 1970s. They're the best of this time present. Nothing more.

I get up with Keith Glass at Mobile Records and talk to him about running the store and playing on the Australian cast of the tribal rock musical,Hair.

We talking about sampling the long way.

Talking mental health with Deadstock Jay. This one is for all that need motivation to get help. Parental advisory for this one.

The definitive James Slaughter interview with James Slaughter of The James Slaughter Sextet & Selfish Pedestrians. I met him on Twitter a few years ago and he's been on of the top people that engages on things that I say on that platform so he swings by and gives his thoughts on the subjects at hand.

My guest,Barbie La Bruja & I embark on the downtown Mobile streets and get into her craft,art & background as there's plenty of life jewels in them.Some subject matter may be heavy for some so discretion is advised.

I get some words from the rapper FBJ about what's going on with him at the Studio House Taco Tuesday network mixer.I got some extra words from TeeJaeSoHighunlmtd and it's litty.

A new Rudey & Young crossover.

I talk with Ali Kazem of UBH,host of Rap Funxion about life in Mobile as foreigner and what makes “Shadow Talk” the thing that it is.

Last year I dedicated two episodes to the subject and this episode,I do it again with B.J. There's a lot of meat on this one,so to speak,so take all the time you need.

On this episode I announce the next House Of Ate Stax event and then spend some time talking about the Etienne Murray murder.

I ask Conz 8000 & A Ward about the current A.I. art trend and got more than I ask for.It's a lot to take in.
