- 012: What is a freestyle worth?
What is a freestyle, and what is it worth now? Is a freestyle a necessity in a Hip-Hop artist's portfolio... or a novelty? We explore all the definitions and scenarios from the 80's to today, from New York to California, from Funkmaster Flex and Sway to Twitter.

37 min - 011: What is rap beef? ft. Dallas PennWhat's beef? Beef was when you need two gats to go to sleep. Beef was when your moms ain't safe up in the streets. Beef was when I saw you, you were guaranteed to be in ICU. But is it still? Was it ever? We explore a range of beefs through the span of Hip-Hop's lifetime, including Eminem vs. MGK and Drake vs. Pusha T.Guests: Dallas Penn, TW: twitter.com/dallas_penn, IG: instagram.com/dallas_penn, SC: @talkitecturepodMelton, IG: instagram.com/notmarinkdDarwin's Toy, IG: instagram.com/darwinstoyPowered by Classic Material NYTW: twitter.com/fresthetic, IG: instagram.com/classicmaterialnyHosted & moderated by Saul GoodmanTW: twitter.com/lionofbedstuy, IG: instagram.com/lionofbedstuyCo-hosted by THECAINMARKOTW: twitter.com/thecainmarko, IG: instagram.com/thecainmarko, SC: @thecainmarkoExecutive produced by MikaTW: twitter.com/BSideAnthems, IG: instagram.com/bside.anthemsVisuals by Modern MarvelTW: twitter.com/SimplyDop3, IG: instagram.com/marvin_h, SC: @modern_marvel41 min
- 011: What is rap beef?
Hip-Hop does not look kindly at retirement. It is generally forced on a rapper: because the industry decides it, or fans declare it or the artists themselves accept it (and then reject it immediately afterward). Retirement means a lot of things to a lot of people in Hip-Hop, but does it actually matter?
