Episode 31: Does Meek Have a Classic?
This week we have the man, the myth, the legend Mike Baskerville pulling up to talk about his collection that have took the streets by storm. Mike tells us about his inspiration as well as his process behind work. Later we get into a Hip-Hop discussion the metrics behind labeling an album a classic and broach on a possible Cold War between Meek and Drake. The real ones know, I couldn't have a conversation with Mike and not talk about battle rap! We recap Summer Madness 11 and give our predictions to this weekend's big event "Until Death Due Us Part
Topics/Timestamps:
(1:00) Introduction/Background: We play "one gotta go" with trending topic on social media, Mike talks about his upbringing, and what it's like to turn 30.
(8:40) Author Michael Anthony: Mike has been notorious in the streets for something not many people are doing in our neck of the woods and that's writing books. He has four books now under his belt. Here we talk about the inspiration, the buzz, and even some backlash that he received for his latest title Survival of the Trenches.
(21:00) The Process: Are you interested in publishing a book, well Mike breakdown his personal process of writing not to mention a little known fact that helped him get in the door. We also talk about a possible transition into Screenplays so we might see Mike's work on the big screen one day.
(28:30) Drake vs Meek: Cold War: On twitter I stumbled upon a topic that made me think perhaps Drake vs Meek is on the horizon but this time they are matching up low key with their latest albums. We rehash their old beef and breakdown how its evolved today. Expensive Pain vs. CLB, Championships vs Scorpion.
(50:30) Does Meek have a Classic?: Putting our PA and Philly bias aside we break down if Meek in fact has a classic album or not. We also break down some metrics on what constitute as a classic album.
(60:00) Battle Rap Talk/ SM 11 Recap: If battle rap is an opinionated sport how do we determine if a rapper lost? We talk about the bias that exists within fans. Then we breakdown the Summer Madness card and debate on our winners and losers.
(87:30) Until Death Do us Part Predictions: This weekend the URL in partnership with the streaming service Caffeine will be hosting a battle rap event inspired and handpicked by Drake himself. We give our predictions and just know I don't hide my bias here and I'm going for the Geechi Gotti upset over Loaded Lux, stamp that!
