Milkcrates & Microphones

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.

As promised Milkcrates&Microphones is back with episode 10. Infamous gets this historic episode kicked off with This Week In Hip Hop (TWIHH) October 12, 1999 Mos Def released his solo debut "Black On Both Sides", his first record with out BlackStarr partner Taleb Kweli. Then in true McMp fashion we spark a conversation about what rappers would make good superheroes and what superheroes we think might have skills on a mic. We do a top 3 movies from our childhood, some good and some that just don't hold up now days, and kevpro swoops one of bsicc's picks. Would Preston Waters really be able to afford all that with 1million dollars? These are the kinda hard hitting topics we debate on this world class podcast. In the first installment of our local artist spotlight we listen to the music of Northern Cali hip hop band Greyspace and lead vocalist/emcee Matt Lowe. Plus you get our NBA finals predictions, freestyles, what grinds Matt's gears and song picks.
