  • MC REN: The Villain In Black
    1990-fiiiive, and Compton still up in this muthuphukka! The Rap Throwback dives deep into the Villain In Black by MC Ren. With Cold187um at the helm for much of the dope producing, along with other producers (Dr. Jam, Madness4Real, etc..). Regarded as a classic record from top to bottom, It's got a dark G-Funk vibe and Ren comes hard on this 95 record. Join us as we take a deep dive into the beats, lyrics and our retro review, reaction, and reflection on The Villain In Black.

  • Spice-1 : 1990-sick
    When you think of Spice-1, you probably think of guns, thugs and weed! Spice-1 is the muscle of the Bay Area, bringing the gangsta flavor to a part of the west coast most known for pimpin and lighter ghetto topics. This is his 4th album and we do a deep dive into the lyrics, producers and ask the question, where does Spice-1 sit among the greats of the Bay?

  • NATAS: WicketWorldWide Com
    In 1999, NATAS comes out with a masterpiece! Wicket World Wide .COM.
    Days before the Y2K bug is set to glitch all of our machines. NATAS (Niggaz Ahead of Time & Space) really do drop a record that sounds like it was from the future. It was like nothing else that ever was released in gangsta rap. This was Acid Rap. Esham, TNT & Mastamind formed Voltron and killed it here.
    We give a retrospective on this throwback session, to this classic album. We are back in the 21, going back to the 99. Dre and Diz speaking on the days as youngsters, our first time hearing this record and what was going on back in the day.
