All-Time Podcast

30 years ago today, September 24th 1991, is said to be the biggest day in music when it came to new music releases. Nirvana, A Tribe Called Quest, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers dropped albums that would not only mark their legacies, but would change and influence years of music to come. Join us this week as we discuss these albums and the very many great albums of 1991 turning 30 this year.

We almost missed an important anniversary this past summer, but because of a technicality, it's still relevant. This week we take the time to discuss the Strokes' debut album Is This It, and how it fuelled a rock revival that dominated the 2000s. We also discuss the HBO Max documentary Woodstock 99: Peace, Love and Rage; a cultural analysis on a music festival gone terribly wrong.

Drake's sixth studio album, Certified Lover Boy, released on September 3rd. After a week of tedious listening, we bring you our review of the Toronto rapper's latest effort. We also spend the latter portion of this chat revisiting Jay-Z's 20 year-old, magnum opus; the Blueprint, while discussing it's impact at the time, and it's still a masterpiece after all these years.

We needed a break is all. But we're back. Again. This week we ease back into it and chat about some big news we missed while away. Though some is old news, Donda certainly isn't. Be sure to stick around for our thoughts on Kanye's latest work. It's feels good to be back.

Last week, J. Cole dropped his sixth studio album the Off-Season. The album came under short notice following the release of a new track titled "Interlude". Being the first ever All-Time review episode, we invited a special friend Gi, the man in charge of making us look so sharp in our merch shots. Give him a follow @unframed.photographer and join us as we break down and evaluate the entirety of the Off-Season.

It's been a while but we're back to cover as much of what we missed. Join us as we cover as variety of topics from recent music releases, upcoming releases and the passing of DMX and Black Rob.

This episode is for the music collectors out there. The people who do it the real way... or those who can't get their head around why we still do this. Listen and learn a thing or two. For a second time in All-Time history, we invited our friend Gap Boo who we met through music collecting. Hear us as we revisit our many years of buying music and discuss why we still do it.

...amongst other news in a rather slow year for music headlines. Bobby Shmurda is finally free and Toro y Moi's Underneath the Pine turns 10. Join us as we discuss these topics and more this week.

J Dilla passed away on February 10th of 2006. Only three days prior, he let the world hear an album he created from a hospital room; Donuts. It went on to immortalize him as one of the greatest and most influential beat makers in all of music. Although Donuts in particular has reached cult-status, the rest of Dilla's catalog remains to be discovered by many. Over the years collaborators and those influenced by Dilla like ?uestlove of the Roots and producer Madlib, advocate and promote his music with hopes that it continues reach new heights. To celebrate the 15 year anniversary of this historic week in music, hear us discuss everything from Dilla's beginnings with Slum Village, his production for artists like A Tribe Called Quest and Common, and the many solo and collaborative projects of his that even continue to be released posthumously. This is our tribute episode to J Dilla.
