We've never received an episode request like this. This week producer Michael Saba asked us to discuss how the influence of Phil Collins has played out in '808s and Heartbreak,' intros by Meek Mill and Rapsody, songs by DMX — and an unfortunately named tribute album from 2001. More commentary from Mike here: https://www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis

The opening line to 'Teflon Don' — “I'm not a star” — was a punchline in of itself. In the aftermath of being sued by the actual Freeway Rick Ross and outed as a correctional officer, Rick Ross became more committed to his outlandish persona than ever. Have you ever tried rapping like him? See when your lungs give out.

We used to avoid Tyler, the Creator for how he'd lash out in homophobic and misogynistic anger. But in due time, anyone can learn how to process their emotions differently, to where grief can actually end with acceptance. We discuss how 'IGOR' reminds us of that fact. This episode was requested by Patreon supporter Jalen K. Wright. Produced by Michael Saba: www.patreon.com/michaelsaba Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/sumntosay Closing music by Slimm Leary

J. Cole, Cardi B and Drake interpolate his lyrics. Gucci Mane and 21 Savage wouldn't exist without him. But before that, Project Pat was an underground sensation setting the tone for Memphis hardcore rap. To understand the extent of his influence, we go back to where Pat's story begins: 1999's 'Ghetty Green.' Produced by Michael Saba: www.patreon.com/michaelsaba Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/sumntosay Closing music by Slimm Leary

Jah's list of all-time favorite records goes something like this: “Purple Rain.” “Thriller.” “Ain't Gon' Let Up.” We time-travel back to 2006, when DG Yola's self-help to steel drums (“Go get your brain a bath / Go to church”) went diamond in the streets. Produced by Michael Saba: www.patreon.com/michaelsaba Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/sumntosay Closing music by Slimm Leary

Back when Southern artists went platinum off a ringtone, and hip-hop's birthplace was notably absent from radio, Jay Z fired off "Death of Auto-Tune." We reflect on how this anticlimactic warfare forever changed how we view Hov as a business, *man,* T-Pain and noogies. Produced by Michael Saba: www.patreon.com/michaelsaba Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/sumntosay Closing music by Slimm Leary

What began as an overlooked Project Pat single reemerged in 2007 as the definitive hip-hop wedding song. We look back at how UGK, Three 6 Mafia and OutKast formed a perfect union with "Int'l Players Anthem" — as in, DJ Khaled should stay as far away from this as possible. Produced by Michael Saba: www.patreon.com/michaelsaba Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/sumntosay Closing music by Slimm Leary

Crime Mob weren't adults when they arrived in the scene. They drowned in their tall tees. We revisit how, against all odds, this teen group came in the club, shaking their dreads, to create the soundtrack to your smoke with "Knuck If You Buck." Produced by Michael Saba: www.patreon.com/michaelsaba Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sumntosay Closing music by Slimm Leary

We revisit MF Doom's debut album 'Operation Doomsday' (“The character is there, but he is still finding the voice and finding the flow,” says Yoh) and how, despite its limited release, its outsized impact on independent rap. Produced by Michael Saba: https://www.youtube.com/c/michaelsaba

When Waka Flocka Flame said, “Drug dealing music / I influence,” he had no idea how right he'd be. We discuss how he and Lex Luger's straight brown liquor energy shook up the music industry ten years ago and can still be heard halfway across the world. Produced by Michael Saba: https://www.patreon.com/michaelsaba Closing music by Slimm Leary

Today Jermaine Dupri and Ludacris' smiling faces appear on a giant digital screen at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to greet the 275,000 passengers flying in on a daily basis. This is the future these homegrown superstars first envisioned in their 2002 hit "Welcome to Atlanta." Plus, a detour through T.I.'s star turn in 'ATL.' Shoutout to new Patreon support Sharod Clerge. Production by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/c/michaelsaba Music by Slimm Leary

The term "scrub" wasn't always gender-specific. But in 1999, TLC, Kandi Burress and Tameka Cottle rewrote the definition to put the patriarchy on notice. Jah, Yoh and Christina revisit how "No Scrubs" alerted them to thirst buckets worldwide. Production by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/c/michaelsaba Music by Slimm Leary

You could call it a stroke of luck: how Soulja Boy invented clickbait when he had unsuspecting Limewire users downloading "Donk" instead of the latest Britney Spears single. But to quote Yoh, "Crank Dat"'s lasting impact on music, the industry grind and us all (YOU!) wasn't a joke. Thanks to our first Patreon supporters: Robbie McClellan, Sarah Lawrence and Jalen Wright Production by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/c/michaelsaba Music by Slimm Leary

Even Missy Elliott once feared the sophomore slump. We discuss how she answered to that fear 20 years ago: She watched The Matrix, called up Hype Williams and delivered a feminist manifesto called "She's a Bitch." Production by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/c/michaelsaba Music by Slimm Leary

The American Dream suggests that anyone here can achieve anything, as long as you work hard. Thanks to Lil Nas X, the American Dream could be summed up even more succinctly: Can't nobody tell me nothing. Production by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/c/michaelsaba Music by Slimm Leary

Once upon a time at Club Frequency, Jah used to always see this tall ass dude with long ass braids wearing an itty bitty shirt. The rapper previously known as Tity Boi has always been this larger-than-life presence. We revisit the moment where 2 Chainz had truly arrived: his feature on G.O.O.D. Music's "Mercy." Production by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/c/michaelsaba Music by Slimm Leary

We discuss the underexplored themes, jarring scenes and true-to-life horrors of this tinfoil hat thriller. (Of course there are spoilers.) Plus: Is 'Us' the 'Late Registration' of Jordan Peele's catalog? And how would your doppelgänger take you down? Production by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/c/michaelsaba Music by Slimm Leary

MS. KERI, BABY! joins us to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of her debut 'In a Perfect World.' She talks about balancing music with her Emory University studies, catching Timbaland's attention when he was actually considering retirement, and reckoning with how R&B has changed since "Turnin Me On." Feelings of "Intuition" by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis Opening music by Slimm Leary

"Lollipop" wasn't the Lil Wayne that anyone knew when he recorded it on March 13, 2008. But it would be the Lil Wayne that took over the world. Yoh, Jah and Christina revisit how Weezy bet on himself to become the Auto-Tuned alien force whose DNA can still be found in rap and even rock (I'm sorry, Framing Hanley, for getting your name wrong). Lighter flicks by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis Closing music by Slimm Leary

By 2003, Killer Mike had won Grammy without having an album out. This week we revisit how this "new school Ice Cube" answered to such high expectations with his debut 'Monster,' with all its Bizarre twists and Andre 3000-produced turns. Squeaky A.D.I.D.A.S. by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis Closing music by Slimm Leary

In a world when even Ellen DeGeneres tries to twerk, we revisit the Billboard hit that turned mainstream America into azz folks, by Juvenile, Mannie Fresh and a prepubescent Lil Wayne. Dragnet suspense by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis Intro music by Slimm Leary

Mere days after we get spooked by the trailers for Jordan Peele's 'Us' and Octavia Spencer's 'Ma,' we find and review a new documentary about black horror from the ages of 'Birth of a Nation' to MAGA hats.

In 1988, the Geto Boys emerged out a nightclub called the Rhinestone Wrangler to drop its debut album 'Making Trouble.' We revisit that awkward first stab at what the group would call "horrorcore reality hip-hop," which, for Yoh, led to some awkwardness at Zaxby's. Production and printer smash scenes by Michael Saba: https://www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis Intro music by Slimm Leary

WE'RE BACK. Today we revisit OutKast's 'Speakerboxxx/The Love Below,' the sprawling tour de force where Big Boi relegates Jay Z to hook duty and Andre 3000 completes his transformation to elite grand wizard ATLien. Plus, we discuss the historic Grammy win in what Jah calls the "white" category: Album of the Year. Production by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis #Free21Savage: https://campaigns.organizefor.org/petitions/free-and-stop-the-deportation-of-21-savage-now-1 Intro music by Slimm Leary

The Atlanta talent manager and brand strategist (OG Parker, Kollision) looks back on life and times before and after Quality Control: how he was late to boarding the Jay Z train, helped launch a viral hit before streaming became actual currency and lived to see James Corden singing one of his clients' hits.

Literal hip-hop scholar Dr. Regina Bradley shares her theses on what the youth are missing out on today: skits, sexually explicit lyrics from male artists, and the joy of spades games IRL.

Writer David Dennis expounds on his theories on how God created Dana Carvey in his own image, the Game of Thrones episode that is the Drake and Pusha beef, and how battle rap is the biggest rap influence you're not talking about.

Records A&R Dom Maldonado joins us to talk her first night of the annual A3C Music Conference and Hip-Hop Festival, explains what a Zoovie is, the legendary Magic Mall in Orlando, and shares stories and perspectives on the state of music. Production by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis Special guest Dom Maldonado: https://twitter.com/SunshineDBaby

Ahead of A3C, his first live show since Tha Carter V's arrival, we revisit how Lil Wayne's influence has continued to grow since he actually collaborated with Jason Mraz. We trace said influence through the latest by J.I.D and Young Thug. "'About the Money'? That's Young Thug and a fan." -- Quavo Yohda, who will also appear at A3C this Wednesday, October 3: http://www.a3cfestival.com/schedule/conference/hip-hop-journalists-covering-the-culture-186337 Production and flair by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis Intro music by Slimm Leary Further reading: http://www.vulture.com/2018/09/is-young-thug-having-a-moment-or-is-it-passing-him-by.html

Christina, Jah and Yoh take their DeLorean back to when Childish Gambino was simply a creative kid exploring his musical voice. We then journey forward to the present where he has become a cultural hero. Production and leery 'Camp' references by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis Intro music by Slimm Leary

The new album by 6lack, East Atlanta Love Letter, enters the Sum'n to Say discussion colosseum. We dig into the heart of his sophomore offering, praise the inventive drive-in movie listening party, and consider what the East Atlanta Love Letter can possibly do next. Production and "Vacation" auto-reply by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis Intro music by Slimm Leary

We revisit the pre-GoFundMe era where all the Tony Robbins of white needed is a Bentley, a kidney for his auntie and a black president. Production and "Vacation" auto-reply by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis Intro music by Slimm Leary ICYMI: https://djbooth.net/features/2018-08-31-young-jeezy-the-recession-10-year-anniversary

"When Trap Muzik came out, it was just an album title," says Yoh. We look back at how T.I. branded this Atlanta cultural export from when Greg Street would bump "Rubber Band Man" back to back. Production and Wire references by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis Intro music by Slimm Leary Further reading by Yoh: https://djbooth.net/features/2018-07-17-atlanta-price-hip-hop-authenticity

We discuss the Trump subliminals, bigoted pillow talk and racists using their indoor voices in BlackKlansman. This review comes a week after we saw it in theaters and 30 seconds after we read Boots Riley's searing 3-page critique. Production by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis

Pay us now, Super Bowl producers. Since next year's game is in Atlanta, us residents went ahead and curated the entire 2019 ceremony, from the walk-on song to halftime acts and community outreach. Also, Will Smith: Yoh starts as your presidential campaign manager Friday. Production and live action Street Fighter vibes by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis

We look back at when Lenox Mall mixtape salesmen were the original 2 Dope Boyz, Christina's mom heard Eminem taunt Tipper Gore and Yoh's aunt had him review So Far Gone for her website. These are the moments that got us into hip-hop. Production and artwork by Michael Saba: www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis

Did Jay Z wear a helmet when he lost 92 bricks? Is Future the world's most renewable energy source? And how does he rank among other members of the Dungeon Family? Just asking questions. Production and artwork by Michael Saba: https://www.youtube.com/user/akhorahilis

Let the record show: We sat to talk Drake's 'Scorpion' two DAYS before 'Rolling Stone' reported Kanye's possible involvement in his beef with Pusha T. So put some respek on Prophet Yoh's name, as you listen to our half-drunk analysis on Drake's shame bars. Produced by Michael Saba.

Dave Matthews rapping Migos lyrics on TV. Sounds like one of the seven signs of the apocalypse, right? But Jimmy Fallon's basic ass forced us Atlanta residents and rap critics to reckon with how trap catapulted into the mainstream. While you're here, put on DG Yola's "Ain't Gon' Let Up" for Jah one time: https://youtu.be/ipvkHY9VXOM Produced by Michael Saba.

SPOILER ALERTS ABOUND. We couldn't help ourselves. We discuss the themes of Boots Riley's standout debut film and the scenes that had us reeling in our seats. Run to a theater near you: https://tickets.sorrytobotheryou.movie/ Produced by Michael Saba.

Introducing Sum'n to Say, a new Atlanta-based hip-hop culture podcast starring Jason "Jah" Lee (@HipHopObama), Christina Lee (@MinaAnnLee) and Yoh Phillips (@Yoh31).

On today's episode we attempt to sort through the latest dispatches from the #resistance war on Russian with an inside source, former RT editor Michael Saba. We talk Putin, Zuckerburg, Ted Turner, and the other oligarchs who conspired to elect Donald Trump.
