Take It Personal Radio

Every once in a while, an interview turns more into a conversation amongst rap dudes. We anticipated having Rapper Big Pooh and Phonte for just 45 minutes, so when I tell you the interview lasted 2 hours and 30 minutes, it tells you just how funny and relatable these guys are to talk to.

We covered an awful lot, yet it wasn't nearly enough once it was over. We discuss the May the Lord Watch documentary, their love for Beck or Bjork and their hate for Sci-Fi and its magical white people. We touch on their ridiculous stretch of music that ultimately burnt them out.

We get into the brilliance of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Ice Cube's Death Certificate, which is better Low End Theory or Midnight Marauders, and Dominican broads making chili con queso.

We also talk Ghostface, Murs, Common, The Roots, Evidence, Kendrick Lamar and their affection for Outkast.

I saw a great quote the other day and it said, "If Wu-Tang is for the kids, Little Brother is for the ones that raise them."

Thanks to Rapper Big Pooh, Phonte, Andre Barnes and our longtime homie, I.D. for the idea. Stay tuned as we prepare to drop our Little Brother tribute in early March.

Enjoy the discussion.

We're joined by extended TIP member, Meyhem Lauren as we discusses some of the most important things in life, like food and music. Meyhem breaks down the new Black Vladimir album with Daringer.

We also talk The Alchemist, Harry Fraud, DJ Muggs as well as Madlib. We also get into 90s fashion and what would a Meyhem Lauren interview be without talking about his incredible passion for food? We learn about his love for Common's Resurrection, The Soul In The Hole soundtrack, plus Southern artists like Last Mr. Biggs and UGK. As always, it's great times when Meyhem stops by. Enjoy!

Some rappers take us on stage, some take us with the to pick-up some food.

We’re joined by Mr. Eon of The High & Mighty, who sits with the crew to discuss one of hip hop's greatest eras. We hear stories about how it started for them, the Masta Ace beef, working with Bobbito, The Alchemist, Rashida Jones, Beetlejuice, Kool Keith, Pharoahe Monch, Eminem and Cage. During the late 90s and early 00's, Eastern Conference Records was a staple in independent hip-hop. Who better to tell vivid tales of the indie hip-hop movement than one of the guys responsible for it?

What made this era one of the greatest? The music was fresh, innovating, original, honest and most importantly fun. D-I-Y in full effect. Record stores in full effect. Online chat groups where you shared music was definitely in effect. That feeling of excitement while scarfing down a slice of pizza or Gray's Papaya because you couldn't wait to see what Fat Beats on 6th Ave had. When Fat Beats wasn't enough for your fix, you went to the LES to peep A-1 or took the iron horse to Fulton Street, to check out Beat Street and grab a treat from Juniors after. The days in New York during the indie hip-hop movement were magical.

Now, let's re-live those memories and magic this era gave us. Enjoy the show!

We also hear about his least favorite on-air guests, we talk MF DOOM, Roc Marciano, Randy "Macho Man" Savage and the thin line between white and hate in hip-hop.  You definitely don't want to miss this discussion!
