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!
Great track. Skewby must have been on that same A3C burn out we were on, because this is the first I've heard from him since. Good comeback too, this joint is real nice.
Keep watching for this Memphis cat, man this kid has bars. On a side note, Skewby called in and was telling us on a previous episode of the show that he records at Justin Timberlake's studio. And if I remember correctly, he mentioned something about an album featuring a group of Memphis rap artists re-creating their classics over live instruments in that studio. Dag. I wonder how that's coming along and if Skewby was able to get involved?
From Skewby:
A couple months back I hooked up with Actual Proof and 9th Wonder to collab on "Super Genius"
Back off "the sickness" and we throw you all another curve ball as we run half the show in "the basement" and then we took it to the road as we headed to the Shady 2.0 show (we even snuck in a couple audio snippets from the show for you all).
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!

Five years we've been doing this. A simple thank you would never be enough for your support and listening to our show. To kick off our fifth year episode we gave away a copy of NBA2k11 live on the show, ran through the stash box and previewed Statik Selektah & Termanology's album 1982 for "Blend It or Bump It". Half way through Statik called in randomly to talk about the album and what he's been working on. That, a ton of phenomenal music (as always) and a lot more.
