  • 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.

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?
