Episode 7: How "Ha" Sings the Blues

 Juvenile blew up in the late 1990s with the release of "Ha," but purists like myself held their nose. Years later, I understand and appreciate the song. In this episode, I delve into the connection between the track, Juvenile's hip-hop and the soul of blues music.

Episode 8: Celebrating the Best Moment From the Big Daddy Kane & KRS-One Verzuz Battle (End of Year Special)

There were a host of great cameos during October's Verzuz battle between Big Daddy Kane & KRS-One. To wrap this year up, I spend this episode celebrating my favorite one: KRS-One on stage with the legendary Das EFX, with a particular focus on their classic collaboration, "Represent the Real Hip-Hop", which appeared on both KRS-One's eponymous album and Das EFX's album Hold it Down (1995).    

#6 - Bush, the Butcher in Chief

Episode 6 centers around the former U.S. president George W. Bush and the lies he told about Iraq that resulted in the deaths of 1 million Iraqis. It's a brief diatribe that also addresses the corporate media's role in insulating him from real criticism.

Episode 6: Bush, the Butcher in Chief

 George W. Bush left the office of the presidency in January of 2009 with a very low approval rating. Thanks to the mainstream media, he's gone on a rehab tour to recover from his low favorability wounds. This episode is a brief diatribe against his crimes in Iraq and the corporate media's refusal to treat his lies as lies, and instead label his invasion of Iraq as simply a mistake.
