Episode 1, "Hip hop & the Cult of the Self"

Hello fearless reader...
My name is Proseed and I've been a hip hop musician since before I popped my first zit. I needed a blog host to establish a feed for my new podcast, "Feel the Void." Here it is. The first episode has me discussing the "beef between 90s hip hop and millennium hip hop," an article/topic from Hiphopgoldenage.com that came about as a result of this up and coming artist named Vince Staples who decided at the tender age of, 22-23 to start expressing opinions like "90s hip hop is overrated."

I talk about how the current generation has grown up hyper corporate, and I explain why Vince should be quiet.

 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 5: KRS-ONE and the Literary Device of Repetition

KRS-ONE is a household name in the world of hip hop, a larger than life pioneer from hip-hop’s Golden Era dating back to the 1980s, and there are plenty of articles and podcasts centered around his most influential and important songs, both as a solo artist and as the emcee for BDP, some of which include “MCs Act Like They Don’t Know” (1995), “My Philosophy” (1988), “Step Into a World” (1997) and, of course, the breakout track “The Bridge is Over” (1987). This episode instead focuses on his use of the literary device repetition . We'll take a look at his 30+ year career and examine his use of the writing strategy as I encourage educators to study his poetry in the classroom.
