Jay Ray and Sir Daniel lost it when they heard about the upcoming Verzuz featuring the legends Chaka Khan and Stephanie Mills. On this episode, the two discuss the important legacies of these two performers. 

They are joined by the incomparable Singer/Songwriter Kipper Jones, who hung out for the entire night, while the Verzuz watch party happened. Kipper tells the super fun story of how Chaka hit the high note in the studio during the recording of "Somethin' Deep."

As a note, this episode ends once the watch party portion commences.

On this episode Jay Ray checks in on his recent #COVID19 diagnosis, and the benefits of vaccination. The two also remember and honor the lives lost in the #Astroworld tragedy. They shine a light on Heavy D and Puff Daddy's AIDS charity basketball game crowd stampede tragedy that happened in December, 1991.

For the show's main topic, in November, 1996, the course of women in rap radically shifted. On November 12, Lil Kim's "Hard Core" dropped and on November 19th, Foxy Brown's "Ill Na Na" dropped. The houses they built still reverberate throughout music today. Listen to this show as Jay Ray and Sir Daniel dive into it.

Real hip hop showed up when Big Daddy Kane and KRS-One squared off on Verzuz, bringing four elements of the culture together on one stage — deejaying, MCing, beatboxing, and b-boying. DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray unpack the sonic contrast between Boogie Down Productions' boom bap and Juice Crew's ladies' man appeal, the surprise appearances from Masta Ace, Craig G, Roxanne Shanté, and Mad Lion, and what it meant to finally see peace between the two camps decades after the Bridge Wars. The conversation also connects to ABC's Real Queens of Hip Hop documentary, tracing the overlooked contributions of women like Sha Rock, Sylvia Robinson, and Roxanne Shanté to the genre's foundation.

The Breakdown

• Inside the Big Daddy Kane vs. KRS-One Verzuz and why the sonic pairing worked despite their different styles
• The Bridge Wars history between Boogie Down Productions and the Juice Crew, and whether KRS-One's "Roxanne Shanté" lyric in "The Bridge Is Over" should be revised in 2021
• Roxanne Shanté's Verzuz cameo and her role building the Juice Crew, plus her intergenerational conversation with Lil Mama and Lakeyah from Real Queens of Hip Hop
• Sha Rock, Sylvia Robinson, and the women's history the documentary didn't have time to cover, including the absence of Foxy Brown
• Catalog deep dives on Masta Ace and Digable Planets' "Blowout Comb," plus a happy 50th birthday shoutout to Snoop Dogg

On this show Sir Daniel and Jay Ray will discuss artists whose careers suddenly veered off course. Some are still active on the scene while others are mostly missing in action. Who are some of your favorites? Join us for the discussion of artists whose momentum was interrupted.

We catch the crew up on Prince protégé Rosie Gaines, and discuss albums that either never got out of concept phase, or did, but were never released in the United States including The Roots' Black Thought's fabled "Masterpiece Theatre," Kelis' "Wanderland" and Amerie's "Because I Love It." We also gush over DJ Sir Daniel's Earworm of the Week "Midnight Snacks" by Kelis.
