    Ivy Insights

    The Serious Rap S**t podcast is an absolute gem in the world of podcasts. From the moment I started listening, I was hooked by the incredible chemistry between hosts John and Josh. Their deep knowledge and understanding of hip hop, combined with their witty banter and insightful commentary, make for an incredibly entertaining and engaging listening experience. This podcast not only provides valuable perspectives on current events in rap music, but also delves into important socio-political issues from a hip hop lens.

    One of the best aspects of The Serious Rap S**t podcast is the perfect balance between humor and serious discussion. John and Josh have a knack for seamlessly weaving together jokes and laughter with deep insights into complex topics. They tackle subjects such as misogyny, racism, transphobia, indigenous rights, anarchism, and more, all while maintaining a light-hearted and enjoyable atmosphere. It's refreshing to find a podcast that can educate and entertain at the same time.

    Furthermore, this podcast serves as an excellent source for new music recommendations. John and Josh's passion for hip hop shines through as they discuss and review new releases. They have an impressive knowledge of both mainstream and underground artists, providing listeners with a diverse range of music to explore. Their recommendations have introduced me to some incredible artists that I may not have discovered otherwise.

    In terms of drawbacks, it can be challenging for new listeners who are unfamiliar with the show to fully understand its dynamic. The title may give off certain assumptions about what the podcast is about, but it's important to listen to prior episodes to truly appreciate the minds and chemistry of John and Josh. Once you dive deeper into their back catalogue, you'll gain a greater understanding and love for the show as a whole.

    In conclusion, The Serious Rap S**t podcast is a must-listen for any hip hop fan or anyone interested in exploring socio-political issues through the lens of rap music. John and Josh bring a unique perspective to the table, providing valuable insights while keeping the conversation engaging and entertaining. With their seamless blend of humor, knowledge, and thoughtful discussion, this podcast is truly a standout in the crowded podcast landscape. Give it a listen and prepare to be hooked!
