David "C-Doc" Snyder is a professional producer, working closely with Chuck D on his last two albums. We sat down to talk to him about his process, setup, and opinion about some of the more recent rap album releases. Was Daytona better than Ye? What's the mark of a new rapper with talent? How do you know when you've made it? (Hint, it's when your kids call Chuck D "Uncle Chuck"). We discuss all this and more in what is most definitely the best episode of the podcast so far. Celebration of Ignorance by Chuck D is out now! Listen to it anywhere and everywhere, including [bandcamp](https://chuckdasmistachuck.bandcamp.com/releases), [iTunes](https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/chuck-d-as-mistachuck-celebration-of-ignorance/1441051775?mt=1&app=music), and [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/album/6Sl8zWNFXGr3YxkRsFvnLu).

In this week's episode, we look back on 2017 as a whole. What rose to the top? We take every album we have discussed on the podcast and enter it into a March Madness style bracket in order to determine the best album of 2017. There are a few upsets, a couple hurt feelings, and many tie breakers.
