For many, hip-hop is seen as a capitalist way to escape the hood, but at its core, it's an artform built on literary techniques. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In 2023, congress unanimously passed a resolution designating this month as Hip-Hop History Month. So in honor of hop-hop history, Amanda Seales and DJ Supreme have a hip-hop history challengeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In today's episode, we're unpacking the latest in news, culture, and controversy. Starting off, we explore the growing push among male celebrities to frame Donald Trump as an anti-hero and what that means for the public narrative. In Blackurate News, we're talking about the Affordable Care Act's potential trouble, celebrating Hip-Hop History Month with a trivia challenge, and discussing the unexpected talents of rappers who can act. Plus, it's Voting and Venting time—where we open the floor to listeners to share their thoughts on everything from local laws to the upcoming election. In the Big Up Let Down segment, a group in L.A. earns the Big Up for their clever “bear necessities” scam involving luxury cars, while the Let Down goes to a Georgia mom who faced legal trouble after her son made a solo trip to Dollar General. From pop culture games to thought-provoking discussions, this episode keeps it fresh, informative, and fun.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
FULL EPISODE: https://www.patreon.com/posts/company-flows-w-103477086 Today we're keeping it independent as fuck, rugged like Rwanda and hardcore like Kool G Rap music made for concert piano!! Yes, we are opening up our Rawkus Records Chronicles, to talk about their first major rap release - 1997's Funcrusher Plus from Company Flow. This here is a clip of what's happening over at our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/crate808) where we've been building a hell of a dip back into the world of 90s hip hop, specifically the importance and legacy of Rawkus Records. And our first special guests are major - rapper Breeze Brewin from The Juggaknots is in the house, who features on this rap classic, as well as artist and producer GENG PTP and YouTuber Myke C-Town
BREAK OUT THE HEAD CHEESE PEOPLE! Yes, it's our final episode of Hip Hop Heads Talk Horror series for this Halloween, and we go out with a bang - celebrating FIFTY years of one of the best films ever made, 1974's ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre'
First up this week is an extraordinary 1992 interview with Lindsey Buckingham. Lindsey recently turned 75 and is still creating music, but it's so interesting to hear him more than 30 years ago. Although the interview was ostensibly to promote his solo work, Lindsey talks a lot about Fleetwood Mac – from the early days all the way through to Tango In The Night. And we even have a bonus clip of Stevie Nicks talking about her frustration with Lindsey when he spent two years working on the Tusk album. We also have the incredible story of the making of a hit. In this case, the hit is “Beth” by KISS – The story is incredible because the star is an eleven year old girl – and even though she's a little older now, her tale of how she helped make Beth a hit is very entertaining. Plus, we talk about one of the most influential women in music. She not only had a couple of hits herself, she's also responsible for three of the most important and influential hip hop singles ever made. Her name is Sylvia Robinson, and we'll hear a classic clip from her and we'll discuss her legacy! And finally, we close out the show with an interview with Eric Carmen, who passed away in May of this year. Eric was the lead singer of the Raspberries and then had a very successful solo career. Eric was very strongly opinionated – and you can hear his drive and determination in the clips that we found. Famous Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria, AM1150 Kelowna and 91x in Belleville. It is in the Top 20% of worldwide podcasts based on the number of listeners in the first week.

Despite lottery funds supposedly earmarked for schools, our institutions often lag behind in technology and resources.

Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson still remembers the first time he heard The Sugarhill Gang's 1980 hit "Rapper's Delight." It felt like a paradigm shift: "Suddenly they start talking in rhythmic poetry and we didn't know what to make of it," The Roots bandleader says. Questlove's new book is Hip-Hop is History.
