In this episode the podcast is joined by fellow RYM alumni Thoughtfoul to discuss and breakdown the discography of prolific New York rapper Roc Marciano. From his early days as a Busta Rhymes prodigy in Flipmode squad to his breakthrough debut Marcberg and beyond as a shining example of East Coast Rap and lyricism the trio cover it all while also discussing the joyful absurdity of Gucci Mane mixtape covers, the less joyful Eminem B-Sides and the similarities and differences in other East Coast affiliates such as Ka.

In this episode of the podcast, host Patrique is joined by battered_sphinx to rant and rave about one of their shared favorite albums, "XXX" by Danny Brown, and the mastery of lyricism, storytelling and flow dexterity that it is. Along the way they give their props to the production styles of Skywlkr and other fellow Danny collaborators, discuss Danny's legacy both with Detroit and the larger Hip Hop scene and just how good the year 2011 was for Rap music in general.

1Chops  

*This episode was recorded in DECEMBER and thus may have dated references or points*  

In this episode the guys are joined by longtime RYM user 1Chops to have a broad look back on the influential and forward thinking genre of Cloud Rap, and its many rule breaking artists. From the godfather of 21st century rap Lil B, mainstays of the genre Main Attrakionz and ASAP Rocky and newer dabblers of the sound like Playboi Carti and JPEGMAFIA; the podcast drifts from topic to topic like a stoned freestyle. Along the way they discuss not turning into a curmudgeon as sounds advance and just what kind of long term impact Cloud Rap has had in conjunction with the rising Trap sounds of today's Rap game.

Join the podcast as they reminisce going through each other's top 10 albums of the first year of the new decade. Covering all genres from underground and internet Hip-Hop, edgy Emo records, Alt-Country masterpieces and groundbreaking Pop as well. Along the way they also discuss the bottom of the barrel for the year and try not to completely fall of the rails of making a listenable podcast (they didn't succeed).  *This episode was recorded in early January and released ahead of future episodes to come*

*THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED WELL AFTER OTHER EPISODES BEING REFERENCED*  

It's time to celebrate the the new decade and to do that the podcast says goodbye and F-off to 2020. A year that was horrible and almost everything but the music. In this episode the guys rattle of the albums they just couldn't fit into their top 10 lists while also discussing some of the more disappointing and outright bad releases that came out this year. As well they discuss (at the time fo recording) the recently released Whole Lotta Red album by Carti and their frustration with the quick judgements around it, and also about Alice Coltrane and tastes in Jazz.

influentialdetour  

In this episode your hosts are joined by Troy AKA influentialdetour to discuss one of the more underrated major legend influences in today's underground rap scene, Black Kray (AKA Sickboyrari). Discussing his early days as a Raider Klan affiliate, his amazing era of mashing Witch House with Cloud Rap and his later domination and experiments with the Tread and Emo Rap sounds. There's no doubt to Kray's ability to have had a hand in nearly every burgeoning sound and style of today and the pod is glad to celebrate that by cranking through nearly his whole discography. Along the way we also discuss Lil B's past feud with Reddit and the lack of appreciation for producers in the mainstream.

The boys decide to flip the script this episode and instead of sprinkling in rambles about certain TV shows they love and hate they make a whole dang episode about it! They start off going down the line of every HBO drama and comedy show they've managed to catch before rapping up with the big 3 for them and Drama TV as a whole with Six Feet Deep, The Sopranos and The Wire. Along the way they discuss movies as well like Michael Bay's explosion fetish and the Coen Brother's more purposefully forgotten mistakes.

battered_sphinx  

In this episode Patrique is joined by fellow RYMer, Discord member and Abstract Hip-Hop connoisseur battered_sphinx to discuss the journey and early musical output of one El-P. Traversing what is essentially the trifecta of late 90's / early 2000's Indie Rap. From the underground epicenter of Company Flow's "Funcrusher Plus", to the production for Definitive Jux's most famous release and group, Cannibal Ox's "The Cold Vein" and finally El-P's first solo project and his apocalyptic instrumentation peak with "Fantastic Damage". Along the way discussions are made of El-P's early machine gun-like flow, his production now compared to his newer releases and the significance of "The Cold Vein" as a staple of Underground Rap.
