We went mobile this week and switched up the location for this episode. The names and faces haven't changed and the game is still the same though, check it out it was a crazy episode full of basketball finals, meat copters and hip-hop! Wait what?
Somewhat abbreviated, we had to take off early this week, but there was no shortage of discussion, hip-hop fight club or music! We also dropped our official iPhone app this week, get it FREE at hoodhype.com/iphone or search HoodHype in the App Store!
We kicked off HoodHype's Hip-Hop Fight Club 2012 with our East and Midwest selections, make sure you check back next episode for South and West Coast selections! We also had a great debate over Outkast's ATLiens album in "Classic or Trash It?" and a lot more! Read the rest of this entry »
It's 2012 and we're still here! This episode we took it back to 1998 and reviewed Jay-Z's Vol. 2 Hard Knock Life to see if it stood up to today's standards, we talked some politics and Red Lobster. Thats right... Red freakin Lobster. Oh and say I to Danny Doomsday too...
Talented white rappers are unicorns. Brother Ali happens to be one. Produced by Jake One, they are working on an album titled Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color.
Brother Ali is one of those dudes who to me, is one of the most slept on underground MC's of all time. The beauty of it all however is, this year, 2009 has been the year of the underground.
We've been seeing alot of artists you wouldn't normally hear about, bubble to the top and Brother Ali is one among others like Tech N9ne, Bobby Ray and Diamond District (whose album just dropped today). There's countless others out there too. Don't sleep.
This was actually an incredibly long show that we cut quite a bit short to keep from overloading your computers and ipods. In this episode we spun ALOT of music and spoke on everything from the Kanye situation to user feedback. As well as much more! Don't forget you can subscribe for free in iTunes so the show automatically goes to your iPod! Or you can subscribe with your Microsoft Zune! Read the rest of this entry »
