Just one year after the world got the hip-hopera masterpiece "A Prince Among Thieves," the world got another injection of masterful hip-hop story-telling, in 2000's "Deltron 3030." It's an adventure that traverses time and space, in a universe where rap battling is the most honorable form of combat, and a way to fight the corporate overlords. Our heroes are Del the Funky Homosapien as "Deltron-Zero", a mech soldier turned rebel, and Dan the Automator as "The Automator", a "time traveling cyborg wizard" (actual quote from the wiki). Together, they attempt to take down the faceless, soulless organizations in this 31st century dystopia. They covered some of these Afrofuturist ideas in earlier hip-hop or hip-hop adjacent groups such as Sun Ra, Kool Keith, and Paliament-Funkadelic; but with the production capabilities of the beginning of the 21st century, Del and Dan the Automator give the genre a rejuvenation and an instant cult classic. Although it didn't get the initial attention that it deserved, "Deltron 3030" has stood the test of time, and even stands above a lot of what it had to compete with. Today it's Brad, Jon, Dave, Jake, and Trevor on to talk. It's the whole crew!!
