He is an unabashed left-wing political junkie. He has lived and worked in South Korea for over a decade, trying to help the citizens of that great nation, hopefully, "talk pretty one day." A quick programming note: Vice President Kamala Harris participated in a total of five Democratic Party primary debates in 2019 before dropping out in December of that year. The episodes in which Jonathan and I went through those debates in extreme detail were Episode 147, Episode 153, Episode 156, Episode 158 and Episode 160. Jonathan and I also watched and discussed every episode from all five seasons of “The Wire” in Episode 106, Episode 107, Episode 108, Episode 109, Episode 111, Episode 115, Episode 116 and Episode 119. Also, on Episode 120, I interviewed Jonathan Abrams about his book, “All the Pieces Matter: The Inside Story of The Wire.” Subscribe to my Substack: therobburgessshow.substack.com/ Follow me on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/robaburg.bsky.social Follow me on Mastodon: newsie.social/@therobburgessshow Check out my Linktree: linktr.ee/therobburgessshow

As an 11-year old kid growing up in the L.A. suburbs, writer Jonathan Abrams managed to wheedle a Tupac Shakur cassette from a sympathetic Circuit City employee. When his mom discovered the tape with its parental advisory sticker, she made him return it, but that didn't deter Abrams' love for hip-hop. In his new oral history of hip-hop “The Come Up,” Abrams goes back to the genre's roots and traces its iterations, innovations, and impact on not just music, but global culture. We'll talk to Abrams and hear from you, who's your go to hip-hop artist and what's on your essential hip-hop playlist?
