Hungry Hip Hop

Dig if you can the picture: BROCKHAMPTON minus twelve members and instead of Boyband Hip-Hop...Emo Punk-band Hip-Hop. So, the stage is now set for today’s installment of Hungry Hip-Hop. Kenny Mason, hailing from the ATL, presents us with his 2021 project Angelic Hoodrat: Supercut. The man set out to set a vibe. Tune in and see if the Hungry Hip-Hop crew is feeling it.

The gang took it way back again on this one and revisited an old project from 2015. Following behind the pretty solid album Acid Rap comes Travis Scott’s Rodeo. The rather dense trap project is arguably what catapulted Travis into the limelight. Some might even speculate that it set the stage for trap music going into the late 2010’s. There was also some debate among the crew about how this album compared to Chance’s Acid Rap. At any rate, tune in and hear what the HHH crew had to say.

The gang took it way back on this one and revisited an older project from 2013. After reviewing the arguably disastrous album The Big Day by Chance the Rapper, Hungry Hip-Hop didn’t want to leave listeners with such a scathing Chance review and thought it would be a good idea to review Acid Rap, which arguably is his best album. (It just made sense to.) Tune in and find out how this album fared against its widely criticized descendant.

Surprise. BROCKHAMPTON is back again with its sixth studio album Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine. The thirteen track album features a lot of familiar pop sounds from the group and touches on some pretty heavy subject matter in some places. All in all, though, it didn’t hit quite well with our hosts. Join us today as we explore what worked well for this project and what didn’t.

Yet another controversy. Yet another storm of hatred. Yet more bigotry. The victim? Yet another Chicago Rapper. This time, it is one even more beloved: Chancellor Bennet, a.k.a. Chance The Rapper and his project THE BIG DAY. Today’s installment finds his most vehement detractor becoming his most unlikely supporter. Tune in and determine where you fall. Are you on the firing squad, or do you stand next to the visionary on the other end of the barrel? Wherever you side, “the one in front of the gun lives forever.”

Today the gang takes a look at Vic Mensa’s latest project I-TAPE. There were a lot of opinions about the latest work from the Chicago rapper. Some called it “derivative,” others “corny”. In fact, this album almost received a certified Ragú from the team. One member, however, stopped that from happening. Tune in and find out exactly why this album was such a failure among the group. Each one makes his case, but our listeners are free to make up their own minds.

 In this bonus clip, we discuss whether or not Kendrick is the messiah for the 2010s hip-hop/rap world. Most of us thought this shouldn't even be a debate but, whatever. Tune in to this discussion to see why the hell Milo disagrees with this claim.

For some the halfway point is a point of progress toward a greater end. For others it could be a step in the wrong direction—back to square one even. Where did our hipponauts fall...at the greater end, square one, or somewhere in the middle? The Ragú is looming on the horizon, and perhaps Denzel Curry’s lyrical technique and Kenny Beats’ adept production can ward it off. Tune and find out where the crew falls, for better or for worse.
