Things are all over the place! Once upon a time, rappers were rated on their ability to perform & move the crowd. Now, rappers are rated on what they wear, who they date, what they drive, where they live, drugs they use, but what about the music? When did this happen, how'd we get here & is this the end all be all for the MC? We gon get into it. This is FANGSTA!!!!!

What's the fascination with thug culture in Hip Hop? When/why did it become Hip Hop's default persona? Where did it start? What are the short & long term ramifications? We discuss how "thug culture" is romanticized in Hip Hop, the difference between thug/street culture & how we got here. Let's get into it!!!

Here we are with another Fireside Chat. These conversations can sometimes get a bit heated, but what's to be expected when freely speak their minds? From versus to verses & what may (or may not) be considered Hip Hop. We cover the gamut & give it up smooth, no fakin jax round here!!! Bussin big ol' BOKAAAPPPP S in these parts on this one, DUCK DOWN...

We're back with another installment of I Agree. This episode we're diving into the Common classic Thelonius featuring Slum Village. 

Ok so there's a night out on the town. Then, there's the hip hop night on the town! What's the difference? Cyphers, battles, the beat box, open mics, face punching, all the fun stuff! Plus we have an ULTRA BEAST in the jungle. We bout to set the town on fire!!!

In any and every profession you hear the vets speak about paying your dues.  Welp, what does that mean exactly? How much are the dues? Who do you  pay? How will you know when they're paid in full? Are they ever paid in full? All this & more on this episode.

One thing for certain, two things for sure, things will certainly change. Sometimes for the better sometimes for the worst but change none the less. The question is how do you change with the change? When's the right time to change? AND if you are "made" to change is it already to late? I'm sure we'll have more questions than answers but we still gon have this convo tho. "The only thing consistent in this life is change." A.O.S.

You ever been jacked? Ever been exploited? What about both? Welp, let's talk bout how Hip Hop culture has been jacked & exploited. What we gon do bout it tho? Can something be done? What's the answer? Sway, where you at??? FAAAANNNGG

You remember that time you heard that joint & the MC's verse was phenomenal??? Then you found out later that they didn't write the verse they said! How'd you feel bout that? Did you care? Were you upset? Did it matter? Does it matter? Can you be considered one of the best if you didn't pen the rhymes you say? We gettin to all that & more on this one. Maybe I wrote this, maybe I didn't...

Binkis, Binkis Records, Binkis Recs, The Binkis Records Set, The Mighty Binkis Recs. All the same thing right? Yes, but not really. Although this is a bad example (cause one is the crew, one is a group, but follow me) we gon get into the art of aliases & multiple personas of an MC. What's the difference? is it a difference? How can you tell? That's just crazy! Needless to say we prolly gon be all over the place on this one. FOOOOSHHH
