G-Funk pioneer one of the most consistent dual artists in Hip-Hop history, it could be said that DJ Quik hasn't gotten the props his peers has, even though his quality of production and bars has (for the most part) been great, just as long as you jump over the mines labelled "Songs with oddly detailed sex bars".TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:49)Ben:Lil Wayne - Tha Carter 6Little Simz - LotusUntilJapan - tromp l'oeilCharlie:Common Saints - EquinoxIan Kelly & DJ D Sharp - Concrete OCEANVic Spencer & Bucky Luger - Interstate PotluckLittle Simz - LotusTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (15:14)Quik Is the Name - (21:35)Way 2 Fonky - (30:38)Safe + Sound - (33:42)Rhythm-al-ism - (37:37)Balance & Options - (42:20)Under tha Influence - (45:33)Trauma - (52:26)The Book of David - (56:15)The Midnight Life - (59:12)Lighter Note - (1:03:15)Thanks for listening.

The legacy of dead prez - for better or worse - has been condensed down to their classic track in "Hip Hop".

Lets take a deep dive into the ongoing Joey and the West Coast battle

After calling it a day being "The Fresh Prince", Will Smith went under his own name for his solo stint. The results are mixed; proving that Hip-Hop could go Pop, but even then managing to have frequent misfires within his music, creating a frustrating discography that gives more questions than answers...TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:10)Ben:Amine - 13 Months of SunshineXzibit - KingmakerRico Nasty - LethalChuck D - Chuck D Presents Enemy Radio: Radio ArmageddonCharlie: Deema - 5Junii - JINX!MyCompiledThoughts - Kouri flowerovlove - summerovlove setlistChuck D - Chuck D Presents Enemy Radio: Radio ArmageddonTanika Charles - Reasons To StaySavannah Ré - FormedReuben James - Big People MusicTopic Intro/Ben's  Research House - (14:28) Big Willie Style - (20:15) Willenium - (31:28) Born To Reign - (40:56)Lost And Found - (50:32) Based on a True Story - (59:38)Lighter Note - (1:14:32) Thanks for listening.

The legendary duo of Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince have been somewhat locked into this singular thought ever since their run ended in '93: That their music is squeaky clean, completely devoid of edge. But when you actually listen to some of the lyrics and subject matter told in the litany of storytelling tracks, they broach some interesting ground.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:07)Ben:MIKE x Tony Seltzer - Pinball IIKey Glock - Glockaveli: The DonRoc Marciano x Knowledge the Pirate - The Round TableCharlie:Gaidaa - YARNNayla Savannah - Be FreeDARGZ - Friends & FamilyTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (8:18)Rock the House - (16:00)He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper - (26:26)And in This Corner... - (37:17)Homebase - (49:36)Code Red - (1:01:32)Lighter Note - (1:15:16)Thanks for listening.

Kendrick Vs Drake 1 Year Anniversary

The discography of Schoolly D is one of the most diverse and lengthy that we've ever covered on DITD. Where he begins providing the seeds of what eventually becomes known as "Gangsta Rap", he then goes through a more pro-Black phase in the 90s and nowadays operates as a relative experimentalist for somebody whose debut came out in 1985.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:15)Ben:Benny the Butcher - ExcelsiorYung Lean - JonatanJPEGMAFIA x Flume - We Live in a SocietyCharlie:Jericho Jackson - I Am HimAntsLive - Carpe Diem1999 WRITE THE FUTURE & The Pharcyde - TimelessRyder - RYDERHOODAlex Isley - WHENKatalyst - SpeakeasyVinocio - TostadosNejma Nefertiti - Jayne Wayne The JuggernautMychelle - Good DayWretch 32 - HOME?Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (14:40)Schoolly D - (23:50)Saturday Night! – The Album - (30:37)Smoke Some Kill - (33:20)Am I Black Enough for You? - (35:41)How a Black Man Feels - (40:39)Welcome to America - (44:45)Reservoir Dog - (50:22)International Supersport - (53:41)Cause Schoolly D Is Crazy - (57:27) Lighter Note - (1:04:22) Thanks for listening.

Can 100 men beat a full grown Gorilla? What happened with Shedeur Sanders?

In what is probably our shortest retrospective in DITD history, we cover another Treacherous Three member in Spoonie Gee who is apparently a precursor to Gangsta Rap but when listening to his work, it seems to paint a different picture...TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:49)Ben:Wu-Tang - Black SamsonVinnie Paz - God Sent VengeanceCharlie: Bishop Nehru - TrapbapUwade - FlorilegiumCoco Jones - Why Not More?Ray Vaughn - The Good The Bad The Dollar MenuFemi Kuti - Journey Through LifeWu-Tang Clan & Mathematics - Black Samson, the Bastard SwordsmanTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (9:16)The Godfather of Rap - (13:28)Lighter Note - (25:13)Thanks for listening.

Our thoughts and Review of Sinners

After covering Kool Moe Dee last week, it seemed right to go back and look at the pioneering group that he was a member of: The Treacherous Three. With two albums 10 years apart, they serve as great markers in how much evolution happened from '84 to '94.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:10)Charlie:namesbliss - Signature SoundBoog Brown - Super Useful ToolsAdrian Younge - Adrian Younge presents Something About April IIIThe Underachievers - HomecomingKool Keith - KarpentersBlu & August Fanon - FortySAULT - 10Alexander Flood - ARTIFACTUAL RHYTHMTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (12:00)The Treacherous Three - (20:38)Old Skool Flava - (30:25)Lighter Note - (44:54)Thanks for listening.

If you were to name a rapper that embodies the word 'confidence', you could probably name at least 10 rappers that fit the word. Is one of them Kool Moe Dee? A case could be made that he's the most confident sounding rapper on wax, all the way from his first album in 1986 to his last in '94.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:57)Ben:Ken Carson - More chaosRJ Payne - Leatherface 4Lords of the Underground & Snowgoons - So LegendaryCharlie: Paris Nights - Up NowΣtella - AdagioJoe Armon-Jones - All The Quiet (Part I)Smoovth & Wun Two - Prussian BlueVarious Artists - Soil SamplesZino Vinci - Late BloomerVerbz & Zar - In TimeLords of the Underground & Snowgoons - So LegendaryAwa Khiwe & Ghanaian Stallion - African Women AriseTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (9:32)Kool Moe Dee - (20:36)How Ya Like Me Now - (32:21)Knowledge Is King - (40:15)Funke, Funke Wisdom - (46:25)Interlude - (53:07) Lighter Note - (1:01:51) Thanks for listening.

Jersey-centred trio Lords of the Underground represented a lot of what we now consider the hallmarks of the Golden Age of Hip-Hop: Youthful energy, fast flows and great sample-based production.

We finish our WHM celebrations with an artist that is never talked about. Maybe it's due to her not getting traction off her one studio album? Maybe the message fell on deaf ears? We get to the answer of course but regardless of reason, Queen Mother Rage is Hip-Hop history and we take this opportunity - to finish WHM - covering a small piece of the 90s Hip-Hop puzzle.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (1:05)Ben:No I.D. & Saba - From The Private Collection of Saba and No IDCharlie:Che Noir & Superior - Seeds In Babylon (EP)J.

This week we review Mickey 17 and Carti's new album

Continuing our WHM celebrations, we get into MC Trouble who tragically died aged 21, leaving us with her 1990 debut studio album that featured her name on the production credits - a rarity for female rappers at the time - and provided a great thematic mixture of womanhood and Black solidarity.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:50)Ben:Black Soprano Family - The OutcomeYoungBoy NBA - More LeaksCharlie:Summer Pearl - THE INTERLUDEBig Zuu & Capo Lee - Signed & Delivered Apollo Brown - Elevator MusicHope Tala - Hope Handwritten Topic Intro/Ben's Research House - (7:05) Gotta Get A Grip - (11:45) Lighter Note - (31:00) Thanks for listening.

Boogie Down Productions - led by KRS-One - was an inventive group of the time, taking KRS' superior lyrical ability and combining it with production that was initially highly dynamic at first. With five albums, the death of Scott La Rock marring the history and plenty of lore, it makes for an iconic story in Hip-Hop history.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:57)Ben:Drake x PARTYNEXTDOOR - $ome $exy $ongs 4 UWestside Gunn - 12Charlie: BNMO - The Eleventh HourAnthony Joseph - Rowing up River to Get Our Names BackBexBlu, Renelle 893 - THE BUZZchlothegod - I Feel Different Every DayJohn Glacier - Like A RibbonMereba - The Breeze Grew a FireRizzle Kicks - Competition is for LosersBrother Ali & ANT - Satisfied SoulTopic Intro/Ben's Research House - (13:04)Criminal Minded - (16:58)By All Means Necessary - (27:35)Ghetto Music: The Blueprint of Hip Hop (Charlie accidentally skips this one and talks about Edutainment, we get there eventually) - (36:25)Edutainment - (44:49)Sex and Violence - (46:33)Lighter Note - (54:35)Chelsea Reject's Funeral GoFundMeThanks for listening.

For this Hip-Hop Neighbours we get into two 00s debut albums. One from Linkin Park, the band that successfully balanced the Hip-Hop infused Rock of the time and Amp Fiddler who quietly took all his experience (experience that made J Dilla into J Dilla) to make a solo debut decades after he started his music career.TIMESTAMPS:Weekly Music Roundup - (0:48)Ben:Madlib x MF DOOM - Madvillainy DemosThe Weeknd - Hurry Up TomorrowSpectacular Diagnostics - RAW GAMECharlie:Logic - Aquarius IIIJeshi - Airbag Woke Me Up Mac Miller - BalloonerismGhais Guevara - Goyard Ibn SaidAdrian Younge, Ali Shaheed Muhammad & Ebo Taylor - Ebo Taylor JID022Eva Lazarus - Make Your Own SunshineCymande - RenascenceHybrid Theory - (16:51)Waltz of a Ghetto Fly - (36:18)Lighter Note - (50:47)Thanks for listening.

You ever wondered what Kurtis Blow's music - that is not named "The Breaks" - is like? Well, it can be done by looking at Hip-Hop through the lens of Disco and not R&B or Soul.

For our 300th episode, we wanted to do a retrospective that was fitting for our 300th. So we landed on one of the most significant groups in Hip-Hop history. Possibly THE most significant. RUN-DMC - in no uncertain terms - brought Hip-Hop to a new stratosphere in popularity and dedication to creating full bodies of work.

The story of Coolio is... a lot. But you know what isn't a lot? The variety in his discography once the 00s came around! Tracks appearing in more than one body of work and derivative tropes plaguing that weird decade would severely taint his first three albums that were bursting with personality and obviously "Gangster's Paradise".

The trio of Ice Cube, WC & Mack 10 comprised the group Westside Connection that dropped two albums filled with aggressiveness, anyone-can-get-it dissing and mentioned "Mount Westmore" before Cube, Snoop, Too $hort & E-40 got around to finally make that a reality.
