Milkcrates&Microphones is back with episode 12 and In This Week In Hip Hop (TWIHH) November 9, 1993 A Tribe Called Quest released Midnight Marauders their third studio album. As we quickly learn, that wasn't the only classic album released around this time( WU Tang released Enter the Wu Tang(36 chambers).This sends us into the very undebatable fact that hip hop music has continued to regress with no sign or evidence of an eventual come back, so......we listen to X-Raided's new song "My Second Home" and matt gives us his honest opinion and we talk about our expectations of Raided's future music. You will also hear audio from "Secrets of a Mafia Hitman" an interview with a mask man named Joey. In our Local Artist Spotlight we take a listen to the Stockton based duo of Erupt & Deok. We check out the title track off their new record "Longevity". We also take a deep dive into the Battle rap scene past and present and if we like the modern format of pr-written promoted battles or the freestyle tournaments from the past. This sends us down a Mac Lethal path and we listen to one of his battles and songs.Plus the usual freestyles, song picks of the week, what grinds Matt's gears and is the podcast worthy of public access television?

Its Halloween time so episode 11 of Milkcrates&Microphones goes in on that subject,but first we start off with This Week In Hip Hop (TWIHH), a discuss the beef between Dr.Dre and Eazy E. October 19, 1993 Eazy released "It's On (Dr.Dre) 187um Killa" and on that record was "Real Muthaphuckkin G's", a diss track aimed at DR.Dre and his protege Snoop Dogg. We listen to dre day and the find some interesting lyrics in real muthaphuckkin G's. Then the show gets halloween themed as we discuss what rappers would make good slashers and some slashers that might be good mumble rappers, rappers that people most commonly dress up as for halloween, can you say Flava Flav? We also go talk a little about our favorite halloween/horror movies, the movies that freaked us out the most when we were kids ( candy man, candy man, candy man) and the clever marketing of the Blairwitch Project. This brings up the topic of the difference between thriller/suspense vs horror movies and how they make you feel. As always we lace some freestyles, make our song picks (halloween inspired) and discuss some of our favorite hooks/chorus' from hip hop history. All this and a little bit more.
