LIVE from Criminal Records with KonsoleKingz in Atlanta, Georgia for the A3C Hip-Hop Festival, we brought a different kind of episode this week. Live interviews, Live freestyles, some great music, our special guest host Arablak and much more! Thanks to all our listeners who sent us down everyone who tuned and all the artists that came through for this special episode!
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...
Bama is officially on the hip-hop map these days thanks to folks like Jackie Chain, Yelawolf and now G-Side. They were one of the acts I was really looking forward to seeing and meeting at SXSW this year. G-Side's - The One: Cohesive album was one of my standout albums of 2011, I still have it in the player today. They are also on tour right now, the stops are listed below, one of which happens to be Detroit. I won't be missing this one.
Talked about the Mayweather vs Ortiz fight, Fabolous vs. Ray J, the late Troy Davis vs. The Legal System and Jayo Felony vs. Fox News. We had J.Cole on the chopping block for blend it or bump it and some caramel vodka in the stash box this week too!
We talked all hip-hop this episode. Everything from the validity of Odd Future to Common at the White House to Prodigy's audio book. And a WHOLE lot in between.
Here's a mini-episode. After 5 months of planning, meetings, discussions, money, time and energy....Major and I came down coincidentally at the EXACT same time with some whicked I don't know what. Sick for a week straight, we had no chance and were forced to cancel ALL of our SXSW plans and lose a lot of money we put into going to this event. So we apologize you guys, we had our hearts set on this thing only to see it come crashing down due to 102 degree fevers amongst other things.
Inspired by our trip to South By South West this year (catch us down there March 17-20) we loaded up this episode with music features by artists who will be performing at the festival down in Austin, Texas. We also got a few minutes to speak with hip-hop coordinator of SXSW and owner of AustinSurreal.com, Matt Sonzala. We also had Strong Arm Steady's Arms and Hammers on the the lid for blend it or bump it and we mixed up some real delicious #TigerBlood for the stash box. Hit the notes for the recipe!
