  • While I love this show and how it keeps me updated on my favorite old school artists, I wish that Bill would stop reading me every article, word for word, like he is my hip hop audiobook. Every article is in the show notes, so I can read them just like everyone else. I am more interested to know what he and Jamie think about the articles, and then determine if I want to read them or not. Keep doing the show, fellas....and I'll keep listening.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

641: The Grandest of Them All: The Grandmaster Caz Interview
Q: What was your process as a solo MC compared to other early MCs?
Kaz aimed to be the best solo MC, focusing on strong writing and delivery rather than crowd-work, and sought to set a blueprint that others could follow, which helped establish him as a top lyricist.
641: The Grandest of Them All: The Grandmaster Caz Interview
Q: How is it that you got your name?
The name Casanova Fly came from a coincidental mix of being a dancer and DJ who liked to dress sharp; he shortened Casanova Fly to Cas to avoid direct association with a rival Casanova crew, while keeping the Cas persona.
629: The Throwback King Meets Mr. Throwback Thursday
Q: How does having international experience affect the versatility of your sets?
Newmark explained that his military upbringing allowed him to experience diverse music scenes, which helped him cater to a variety of audiences in his DJing.
629: The Throwback King Meets Mr. Throwback Thursday
Q: What was the moment in young DJ Newmark's life where you said, I think I want to try and see what this DJ thing is all about?

614: Only Pods Can Judge Me
Q: How do you decide as far as what to include, between a celebration of Tupac and a flat out biography?
I didn't write the book to celebrate him, it's a biography, period. I aimed for an honest narrative.
