Killer Mike var den store hiphopvinnaren vid årets amerikanska Grammygala. Här får du hans och RTJ-partnern El-Ps berättelse i två delar. Brooklyn och Atlanta, paranoia och strippklubbar, undergång och fest trycktes ihop och så föddes en duo med superkrafter. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Under ett par decennier fanns det en ståldörr som hindrade en grupp i stil med Public Enemy att ta sig in i det kollektiva hiphopmedvetandet. Men det stoppade inte Run The Jewels! El-P, älskad frontfigur på östkusten oberoende scen (Company Flow och hyllade soloalbum)och Killer Mike, mäktig historieberättare som betraktades som smutsiga söderns Biggie, blev udda sängkamrater som knäckte fansen med budskap, bekännelser och inte minst brutalt battlerap. Två vänner, två mikrofoner i solorapparnas tidevarv och i symbios med sin samtid.I programmen möter Mats Nileskär även Chuck D i Public Enemy, Hank Shocklee (Bomb Squad), Mr Len, Bigg Jus, Camu Tao, De La Soul, Nice & Smooth och Flavor Flav.

上一期节目里，我和老林提到了一个很有特色的说唱音乐类型——Backpack Rap，技术方面看，这其实不能称之为一种音乐风格/流派，但 Backpack Rap 传达出一种很具体的形象，无论是 rapper 个人还是他们的创作结果，并且它也有特定的 2000s 前后这个时代背景。20多年前 Backpack Rap 并不是凭空突然出现，它强烈的反商业独立态度，与主流街头内容的不同，是 Underground Hip Hop 珍贵的传承，它有非常忠实的追随者，但大部分时候它都在遭受嘲讽，逐渐成为嘻哈场景中书呆子，矫情 corny 的同义词，站在“酷”的对面坚守着那一点“真嘻哈”的传统。随着收听量的积累，我个人在不同阶段对 Backpack Rap 的看法也一直在转变，尤其在当今 Hip Hop 场景中，回顾 Backpack Rap 现象是个有趣的思考过程，这也是我们今天必须谈谈它的原因。本期跟我和老林一起聊天的是我们的朋友阿石 aka Beijing Daddy!

Video animation by: Big Flowers Intro/Outro beat by: BLOODBLIXING The Plug (0:21). The Interview (2:05). As a 28 year-old hip-hop head, I'd like to say that I'm still somewhat young. So given this youth of mine, I haven't been able to witness many of the greatest movements or waves in hip-hop history firsthand. I wasn't even alive when Wu first jumped onto the scene. I could barely form sentences when Company Flow's debut album dropped But that thankfully has not been the case with what Backwoodz Studioz, and in particular what today's guests in billy woods and E L U C I D, have blessed listeners with so far in their careers. For over a decade now, I've been able to follow these two refine their craft and expand on their brand of phenomenally rich, creative, and thoughtful hip-hop music that scratches all of the itches I have in music. All of which is funneled into this style of rap that makes the term “one-of-a-kind”, feel somehow too generic of a descriptor for what these two really do. I'm pleased to have Armand Hammer on the show to discuss what makes their creative connection so special, the makings of one of the best albums I've ever heard (no hyperbole) in We Buy Diabetic Test Strips, and much, much more! Enjoy! Perspective on recent successes and acclaim (2:27). Perception of Armand Hammer's growing fanbase (9:16). How woods and E L U C I D complement each other's artistry (16:49). How the creative direction for an Armand Hammer album is established - RMPP patron q from TreDoes (24:52). The origin of the We Buy Diabetic Test Strips album title (25:41). The core themes of WBDTS (28:58). The catalyst for the live instrumentation backbone for WBDTS (38:27). The inspiration behind the very experimental and ambitious sound of WBDTS (43:13). Aspects of WBDTS that Armand Hammer were most proud of / found uniquely challenging (51:39). Armand Hammer's favourite songs off WBDTS (1:02:00). Prominent use of vocal manipulation on WBTDS (1:06:57). What Armand Hammer would like their legacy to be (1:08:17). Shoutouts to other great music and collaborators within the Armand Hammer / Backwoodz multiverse (1:09:13). JPEGMAFIA's pants / E L U C I D's fashion trend forecast (1:12:36).

B.Cox looks back at underground powerhouse label Rawkus Records and their first major compilation album Soundbombing, which turns 25. After releasing Company Flow's now legendary debut LP Funcrusher Plus earlier in the summer, the label released the compilation with previously released 12" singles in mixtape format. Mixed, scratched and hosted by DJ Evil Dee of Da Beatminerz and Black Moon, the album introduced us to future prominent emcees such as Yasiin Bey (fka Mos Def),Talib Kweli and Shabaam Sahdeeq and producers such as Hi-Tek, Nick Wiz and Shawn J. Period. Sticking to their underground roots with he mixtape format, Rawkus sought to appeal to their underground base and wanted to capitalize on the success that Company Flow had with their debut that summer.While the album did not chart commercially, it made its buzz in the underground with DJs and fans. Several songs are considered underground classics and the release started a run of compilation releases including the beginning of the Lyricist Lounge series and the continuation of Soundbombing series. It also led to the formation of two groups that would have great success: Black Star (Def and Kweli) and Reflection Eternal (Kweli and Hi-Tek); all which helped Rawkus to achieve rare success both in the underground and limited success commercially.Visit The Vault Classic Music Reviews Onlinewww.vaultclassicpod.comSupport The Vault Classic Music Review on Buy Me A Coffeehttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/vaultclassicpodShow NotesThe Hundreds: Counting Down Our 10 Favorite Rawkus Records Albumshttps://thehundreds.com/blogs/content/counting-10-favorite-rawkus-records-albumsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-vault-classic-music-reviews-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Chris Kneeland is the co-founder of a marketing engagement agency called Cult, which specializes in turning everyday customers into brand advocates. In this episode, we discuss how Chris learned how to launch and build a business from listening to podcasts, why having business partners is the best way to grow a company, and why entrepreneurs and businesses shouldn't get stuck on perfecting products and should just ship it if it's good enough and 70% there, his comparison of flow state to sleeping and why it's important to not interrupt it when it occurs and to cherish it when happens to maximize its effects.  We also breakdown the principles of a cult brand and his 3 favorite fundamentals which are creating rights and rituals during the customer experience, building a temple or congregation so customers engage within your community, and picking a fight with a competitor or an idea like Mac vs PC to get people behind your cause.

In this episode, we talk about our love for music, his new business, Mother Nature, experimenting with psychedelic mushrooms, and the future of VR. Next, we talk about Bruce Lipton - who's challenged widely accepted views of conventional science as well as how Darwin's theory of evolution became famous so quickly back in the day to justify European imperialism and power structures. No further from our experiences in present day, we talk about the rapid changes we're currently experiencing because of technology: VR, robots, artificial intelligence, and how we can adapt to these changes. We then talk about the huge inequality gap in wealth distribution, making it difficult for ordinary people and small businesses to compete and break out of the poverty cycle. We end the discussion on the integrity of technology and whether the US is as free as its portrayed to be. Please enjoy!

Episode 103 is the 3rd installment of our indie hip-hop tribute series. This time, we're joined by Mr. Eon of The High & Mighty, who sits with the crew to discuss one of hip hop's greatest eras. We hear stories about how it started for them, the Masta Ace beef, working with Bobbito, The Alchemist, Rashida Jones, Beetlejuice, Kool Keith, Pharoahe Monch, Eminem and Cage. During the late 90s and early 00's, Eastern Conference Records was a staple in independent hip-hop. Who better to tell vivid tales of the indie hip-hop movement than one of the guys responsible for it? We've got joints by Non Phixion, Saukrates, Natural Elements, Jigmastas, J-Live, Arsonists, Company Flow, Cage, All Natural, Rascalz, Cannibal Ox, J.U.I.C.E., Sir Menelik, Kool Keith, Ill Advised, Choclair, Mr. Lif, Mike Zoot and of course, The High & Mighty. What made this era one of the greatest? The music was fresh, innovating, original, honest and most importantly fun. D-I-Y in full effect. Record stores in full effect. Online chat groups where you shared music was definitely in effect. That feeling of excitement while scarfing down a slice of pizza or Gray's Papaya because you couldn't wait to see what Fat Beats on 6th Ave had. When Fat Beats wasn't enough for your fix, you went to the LES to peep A-1 or took the iron horse to Fulton Street, to check out Beat Street and grab a treat from Juniors after. The days in New York during the indie hip-hop movement were magical. Now, let's re-live those memories and magic this era gave us.

Brooklyn och Atlanta, paranoia och strippklubbar, undergång och fest trycktes ihop och så föddes en duo med superkrafter. Under ett par decennier fanns det en ståldörr som hindrade en grupp i stil med Public Enemy att ta sig in i det kollektiva hiphopmedvetandet. Men det hindrade inte Run The Jewels! El-P, älskad frontfigur på östkusten oberoende scen (Company Flow och hyllade soloalbum)och Killer Mike, mäktig historieberättare som betraktades som smutsiga söderns Biggie, blev udda sängkamrater som knäckte fansen med budskap, bekännelser och inte minst brutalt battlerap.Två vänner, två mikrofoner i solorapparmas tidevarv och i symbios med den samtid som blev en dyster påminnelse om att verkligheten överträffar dikten. Du får en hiphoputopi i två delar. Det andra avsnittet nästa vecka.I de olika programmen möter Mats Nileskär även Chuck D i Public Enemy, Hank Shocklee (Bomb Squad), Mr Len, Bigg Jus, Camu Tao, De La Soul, Nice & Smooth och Flavor Flav.

Run the Jewels, also known by the initialism RTJ, is an American hip hop super-duo composed of Brooklyn-based rapper and producer El-P, and Atlanta-based rapper Killer Mike. Atop hard-hitting beats and ominous production, the pair trade aggressive and often wryly comical rhymes, touching upon social issues, life and death, and a heavy dose of chest-thumping bragging. In this episode, part one of a series of two, all songs selected by Run The Jewels as guest for Australian TV show Rage, on March 21 2015. Lineup: Run The Jewels, Earl Sweatshirt, Action Bronson, Talib Kweli, The Game, 50 Cent, T.I., Young Thug, BOOTS, Portishead, Massive Attack, Wavves, Adam Sandler, Jimi Hendriz, Outkast, Nas, JAY-Z, DMX, Rage Against The Machine, Faith No More, Led Zeppelin, The Notorious B.I.G., N.W.A., Snoop Dogg, Daz Dillinger, Wilder Zoby, Flying Lotus, D'Angelo, Gravediggaz, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Cappadonna, Rick Ross, Danny Brown, Tyler, The Creator, Cut Killer, Mos Def, Joey Bada$$, Scarface, Ice Cube, Devin The Dude, Big Mike, Wu-Tang Clan, ODB, Inspectah Deck, Method Man, U-God, RZA, GZA, Masta Killa, 2 Pac, Warren G, Nate Dogg, Zola Jesus, Lorde, Beastie Boys, El-P, Trent Reznor, Killer Mike, Bun B, Trouble, Big Boi, Outkast Featuring Killer Mike And Sleepy Brown, Company Flow, Aesop Rock

Jamie Meline, better known as El-P, is a household name thanks to his work with Killer Mike as Run The Jewels. But, once upon a time, deep in the grimey East Coast rap underground, El Producto changed everything. With his crew Company Flow, as producer on a string of influential classics, and as label head of Definitive Jux, he forged his own path, far from the mainstream, from his Brooklyn apartment. In part 1 of our El-P special, we look at his early collaborations, the forging of his solo career, and more.

True Story: we love El-P. The rapper-producer who cut his teeth in Company Flow who later would make up half of our Season Finale artist Run the Jewels, El-P is a force unto himself, having also given us a trove of indie-rap staples via his Definitive Jux label. Thus, we're celebrating the man's discography and rankin' it all from Worst to First. A cinematic episode that was filmed on Deep Space 9mm. /// Our theme song for this episode is "Everything" by Sam Sparro from his 2020 studio album BOOMBOX ETERNAL. Get that record here [ linktr.ee/samsparro ]. Used with permission.

In the latest episode of Weird Rap Podcast we speak in-depth with Bigg Jus and pay respect to Biz Markie. Kool Keith returns for another round of Weird Rap Horoscopes, and Eb&Flow is back with a Rap Grifters report. We also introduce the Hip Hop Haikus segment with guest poet Andrew Mbaruk. Plus more! MC/producer Bigg Jus, who ghosted the world for 9 years, is making his way back into the public eye as he ramps up for a string of releases. We get into the grit of his upbringing as an orphan, adopted only to become homeless, and how this led him to graffiti. From military school to street crime and finally into music (where he first made his mark with Company Flow), we follow Jus's trajectory through the decades, wherein his political, historical and sonic studies lead up to the current day. He talks about his upcoming projects with Orko Eloheim (as Nephilim Modulation Systems), his album-in-progress Sonoluminescence, and how he's finally found the family that eluded him as a kid. The bonus episode features another 23 minutes with Jus in which we get deeper into his writing and recording practices, political views, pre-Company Flow works, and more. It's yours, along with all the past bonus content (including exclusive interviews with Orko, Antipop Consortium, New Kingdom, etc.), for 3 tiny dollars at http://patreon.com/weirdrap. The Rap Grifters series continues as guest correspondent Eb&Flow breaks down the thinly-veiled white supremacist dogwhistler Tom MacDonald. The segment is followed by a brief discussion with Eb&Flow. As one of rap's original outsiders, Biz Markie's recent passing looms large in the weird rap universe. We detail his musical history and what he meant to us. Also made a playlist of some of our Biz favorites at https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO3PzIvK6s2xC0VbjI5Z4ySXlRUWh-AXe.

Bigg Jus is an alternative hip hop artist, who's spent over two decades contributing to the evolution of independent hip hop, helping to lay the foundation for a generation of fierce, independent artists, from Company Flow's debut album ‘Funcrusher Plus' (1997) and beyond. Whether it be reshaping the concept of underground hip-hop with Co Flow, or his solo Big Justoleum work, to his work with Orko Elohim as NMS, the impact of Jus' influence is teeming with innovation. We sit down with one of hip hop's most elusive trailblazers, to talk about the Company Flow co-founder's storied career for an expansive two-hour deep dive. Dig in!

If you've any interest in underground hip hop then this album is probably familiar to you. Widely hailed as one of the most important hip hop albums of all time, The Cold Vein by Cannibal Ox a real lightening in a bottle moment for Vast Aire and Vordul Mega. And now, having just celebrated its 20th anniversary, it seems a good a time as any to explore why. Having formed simply by dint of knowing each other through the New York battle rap scene and hanging out at El-P's flat/studio, Cannibal Ox came together somewhat at the behest of El-P. What transpired was two years of hard graft on their first (of only two) album together, created as they sat around thinking about rhymes and creating music with producer El-P. The skills of Vast and Vordul really shouldn't be underestimated. Having clearly honed their craft through years of spitting rhymes in ciphers on the streets, their lyrical dexterity and outrageous vocal partnership is clearly a highlight of this album. That's alongside El-P's production. This was the first thing he'd ever worked on outside of the work he'd done with his old group Company Flow, and it's a tour de force. Together with Can Ox, they paint a paranoid, dystopian, Philip K Dick inspired vision of Harlem, Brooklyn and New York City as a whole. Despite being hailed a classic, to date it has only sold just over 100,000 copies. Which is clearly fucking insane. That alone means it fulfils our criteria as an unsung classic, but like so many other artists we've covered on this podcast, Can Ox are real artist's artists. So we ask you, is it worth of a place in our discography? You decide, as ever.

in 2002 El-P released his solo debut LP Fantastic Damage to critical acclaim and unbridled fervor from underground rap fans that had been following El from Company Flow to the creation of Def Jux. In this episode El tells the stories behind celebrated songs like Stepfather Factory, Deep Space 9mm and Squeegee Man Shooting and he sets the record straight on the album's connection to the events of September 11th, 2001.

Microphone Masters Radio Show #231 with J-Luv & Starr Saxxxon with special guest Casual. Being flexible is great characteristic. Jay and Saxxx sent the Bat signal to Casual and when he responded that required a pivot on the episode. On the heels of his release, Big Head Science, the dynamic duo connect with the #RapGod to discuss the math behind rhyme patterns, quality music and how top notch lyricists get better with time. Last week the NFL provided millions of sports fans with a sporting event filled with hope, frustration and question marks. As comedian Ryan Davis noted, the true stars of the draft were the girlfriends/side chicks. CeeDee Lamb grabbed his ‘burner' phone from the grasp of his girlfriend and the internet was there for it all. Starr Saxxxon touches on this in his Last Words. Check out song from: JR & PH7, Casual, E-40, Xzibit, Rap Van Damme, Opio, Company Flow and more.

Episode 8 is our Jansport (backpack) special. A tribute to the independent hip-hop movement that helped spawn labels like Fondle ‘Em, Hydra, Rawkus, Stones Throw, Def Jux and ABB records.

This movement created dreams, jobs, life-long careers and of course, some amazing music too. Speaking of music, if we covered everything this episode would be 20 hours instead of 2. We picked obscure cuts all the way to classics heard from the late 90s to the early 00s. We got everybody from Mos Def, Company Flow, MF Doom, Murs, Planet Asia, J-Live, Juggaknots, Weatherman, Saukrates, Jigmastas, Cannibal Ox, L-Fudge, Godfather Don, All Natural, Non-Phixon, Cage, Latryx, Mr. Voodoo, K-Otix, and Vakill to name a few.
