LIVE From The Basement

Back off the sickness and we throw you all another curve ball as we run half the show in the basement and then we took it to the road as we headed to the Shady 2.0 show (we even snuck in a couple audio snippets from the show for you all).

Heres a mini-episode. After 5 months of planning, meetings, discussions, money, time and energy, Major and I came down coincidentally at the EXACT same time with some whicked I dont know what. Sick for a week straight, we had no chance and were forced to cancel ALL of our SXSW plans and lose a lot of money we put into going to this event. So we apologize you guys, we had our hearts set on this thing only to see it come crashing down due to 102 degree fevers amongst other things. We’ll see you all next episode, March 24th 7:30pm EST

Inspired by our trip to South By South West this year (catch us down there March 17-20) we loaded up this episode with music features by artists who will be performing at the festival down in Austin, Texas. We also got a few minutes to speak with hip-hop coordinator of SXSW and owner of AustinSurreal.com, Matt Sonzala. We also had Strong Arm Steadys Arms and Hammers on the the lid for blend it or bump it and we mixed up some real delicious #TigerBlood for the stash box. Hit the notes for the recipe!

The long awaited conclusion to our Hip-Hop Fight Club! Who do you have winning? Print out your own bracket at http://www.hoodhype.com/fightclub. This episode we discussed the Grammies, Eminems Superbowl commercial, cars and systems we used to have and using EBT cards at the strip club. Cant forget some CRAZY hot music this episode too!

Crazy episode we discussed Fight Clubs Midwest bracket, SNLs biggest ratings in years, Black History Month and we got into a crazy debate over Talib Kweli's album Gutter Rainbows which was on the chopping block for Blend It Or Bump It.

Okay maybe Episode 129 WASNT our last show of 2010. But this one is. Enjoy some of our favorite tracks from past episodes of this year and make sure you pay close attention to the first song in this episode.

We kicked things off with the Hip Hop Fight Club's East Coast bracket, and youll be surprised to find out who came out on top. We also got into the holiday spirit and discussed what if Santa was black, which led us into another racial conversation centered around the white bank robber who dressed up as a black dude while putting in his work. We put Cliffords latest release No Mercy on the chopping block for this episode's Blend It or Bump It, sampled a domestic brew for the Stash Box, and chopped it up on a bunch of other topics to wrap up our last show for 2010.

This episode we kicked off our new mini-series, HoodHypes Hip-Hop Fight Club, Kanyes new album was on the chopping block for Blend it or Bump it, we discussed this years Grammy Nominations, spun a ton of great new music and more!
