What's up listeners?  We're back with another one!  In this episode we have a conversation about sampling.  

WIkipedia defines sampling as:

In music, sampling is the reuse of a portion (or sample) of a sound recording in another recording. Samples may comprise elements such as rhythm, melody, speech, sounds, or entire bars of music, and may be layered, equalized, sped up or slowed down, repitched, looped, or otherwise manipulated.

Sampling has become an art form in today's music,  We take a little trip down music history and pull our favorite sampled  original works and talk about their many influences over the years.  Some of your favorite songs very likely had roots that you had no clue of!  Please join us as we celebrate music!

Who is Wale?  We all agree that he is an amazing artist, but why does he not seem to be considered in the top tier of today's hip hop stars?  In this episode, we take a walk down the career of Wale as we try to figure out why he hasn't experienced as much commercial success as we all feel he is due.  We also have a discussion about tomorrow's @VERZUZ event pitting 2 Chainz against Rick Ross.  We hope it's a goodie!
