We discuss what was one of the most exciting Verzuz for us after watching E-40 and Too Short fully put on for the Bay. We also try to show love for some of our favorite albums this year that provided some good to what was one of the most challenging years for all of us. What we don't do is try to rehash all the depressing stuff that's taken during 2020. No need to relive all of that. Here's to a much better year ahead. Happy new year HHRT fam! #PullUpAChair

If you keep up with hip hop at all, you know that J. Cole and Noname were the center of attention last week. So, of course HHRT had to give you our own thoughts about the whole situation. This episode includes, our initial thoughts when we first heard the song (6:40), how hip hop being mainstream effects the important conversation we need to have as a culture (42:40), how we each feel about the critiques of J. Cole releasing his song (1:07:55), and a rant about allowing people to address things when and how they feel comfortable doing so (1:43:26), and more. As always, let us know your thoughts by eleavinga. comment wherever you may be listening and let us know your thoughts. #PullUpAChair

Borrowing from BET's "Rate the Bars," we each select 3-4 bars that the other two rate. If you're a long-time listener, you can already imagine how this might have gone. No need to say too much more. Press play, and the comment and let us know what you rated each bar. #PullUpAChair

If you haven't already seen/heard about it, there's a video on YouTube called "I'm Not Racist" by an artist named Joyner Lucas, which is getting a lot of attention (check it out here before you listen). We review discuss the video and song in a way that only HHRT can do. But of course, a roundtable is nothing without your thoughts and opinions, so let us know what you thought about the video and our comments on in in the "Comments" section. #PullUpaChair

On this episode, we have two guests: longtime friend to the podcast David Johnson and first time guest, Dev's MC, Lars Phontaine. Lars actually brought this topic to us and wanted to discuss, so here it is! And you know Dave has to join anytime we talk battle raps. Basically, we discuss whether or not the skill of MCing is dimished due to the battle rap scene. In typical hip hop debate fashion, we end up talking about other stuff, but that's the main focus. Listen and then make sure you give us your opinion in the comments section. Pull up a chain and join us at HHRT!

The discussion around sub-genres seems to be gaining some steam, so we at HHRT decided to tackle the subject ourselves. From whether or not sub-genres would be good for hip-hop, to discussing the unofficial sub-genres that already exists, we all give our take on how we believe sub-genres have/will impact hip-hop culture. Now, it's your turn to listen and comment. As always, we want to hear from YOU! Let us know what you think.

It's been a busy season for the HHRT crew, so we recorded this episode a while ago, but just now getting it up. Anyway, what better way to come back than with a "top [insert description here]" discussion! On this one, we go through Kool Moe Dee's top 50 MCs of all time list based upon his book There's a God on the Mic. As you can tell by the way I (Landon) begin the podcast, we all had a lot of strong feelings about the list as constructed. But you may feel totally different than us, so press play and then head over to the Facebook page and let us know what you think!

Recorded prior to MLK Day, HHRT covers the ridiculous Twitter rage against Lupe and his "F**k Martin Luther King" line. We discuss the need for context when hearing/seeing lines such as these and how a lack of context can sometimes cause songs to have the opposite impact of their message (i.e. Kendrick Lamar's "Swimming Pools"). Milan even finds a terrible verse from an upcoming artist that has a much worse use of MLK's name that nobody talks about. Check it out!
