Beef With Blue Cheese

Bone Thugs N Harmony created their own sound from West Coast influence and their Cleveland upbringing. Eazy E produced this grammy nominated second album from the crew. The "machine gun" style from BTNH delivered by all of the bone members made waves in the late 90's that had major commercial success. Ride along with he BWBC crew as we play "name that bone". 

Beef with Blue Cheese #13. Quite possibly the best Wu-Tang album made along with GZA's Liquid Swords. Raekwon's mafioso obsession and style created an album that has held up to this day. The boys discuss it's relevance to this day and how it ranks among the great Wu-Tang albums.

"This is it, what? Luccini pouring from the sky lets get lit, what?" Camp Lo's original style created by Sonny Cheeba and Geechie Suede blended jazz, 70's pop and funk and 90's NY hip hop. This fun, party type album was a mainstay in the cd decks of the BWBC boys for many years in the late 90's early 2000's.

Who's a black sheep, what's a black sheep? The boys take a trip on Engine number 9 way back to 1991 to revisit Black Sheep's debut album that has lived on through mix tapes and DJ's to this day with its iconic track "The Choice is Your's". Dres and Mr. Long have a unique sound adapting Jazz and 80's hip hop to blend into a head bopping NY style of music. I'd recommend listening to the end, but The Choice is Your's.

I'm Shady! This week the boys talk about an album that released at the height of their hip hop fandom and changed their style (and hair) to emulate that of this groundbreaking MC. Getting street credit for the white rapper, Eminem's raunchy take no prisoners attitude and style made for an instant classic in the 10x platinum album. Ryan and Matt discuss his influence on the genre and how he added white suburbia to the list of hip hop listeners.

One of the BWBC crew top albums from 90's NY rap. From the incorporation of 'Shogun Assassin' to RZA's unique in artist specific beats, this album is 5 stars from top to bottom.

Biggie, Big Papa, Biggie Smalls, The Notorious BIG. The rhyming virtuoso who created one of the 90's greatest albums in his debut with Ready To Die. From birth to death his fluid and hard hitting style set the industry a blaze and the Beef with Blue Cheese duo discuss that as well as how Puff Daddy influenced this record in an hour long discussion that took a few turns.

Near the beginning of Rawkus Records the High and Mighty team of Mr. Eon and DJ Mighty MI release this fun, captivating album that was filled with phenomenal guest spots. Mos Def, Eminem, Pharoahe Monch and Mad Skillz highlighted this late 90's release along with the deep vocal tones Mr. Eon. A lot of fun revisiting this album that was a gem in the underground rap scene that took off in the early 2000's.

Not many have the Mental and Physical stamina to keep up with Jeru the Damaja. The BWBC crew goes deep into why 'Wrath of the Math' was so important for its time, and how just a few years later, Jeru's warning about the hip hop industry came true. They discuss Jeru's rugged Brooklyn style and how DJ Premier sets the mood for every artist he works with.

"This is labor, labor, labor, labor" Beef with Blue Cheese is running back this classic Aesop Rock album this week with a deep dive into the origins of "Labor Days" by Aesop Rock. They talk about what turned them on to this unique artist and how he transcends traditional rap music with his symbolic and metaphoric rhyming style.
