This week we kick off our new series, where we discuss…who had the best three-album run in ‘90s hip hop? 🐐 Yes, we’ll be diving into the cases for eight different rap acts with eight of the strongest voices in hip hop to figure out who has the best claim 🍿 We start with the argument for one of the most important MCs that’s ever lived - Ice Cube. Bringing the heat to back his case - musician, journalist, writer and podcasting legend, the man who gave us The Cipher, Shawn Setaro.

 

For the rest of the series we’ll be bringing you episodes including…

 

Tupac with Andrew Barber
