    A good podcast when there is a good person on if you can get past the lame cam kooks voice. But if no one on. The cam guys alone is hard to not break your eardrums with his dumba$$

  • Absolutely the best 90s hip hop podcast

    Been listening since early 2020, these guys really helped me through lockdown. As a guy who wasn’t born until the 21st century, I’m in the minority for my age. It’s great to know that 90s hip hop lives on through podcasts such as these and I’m not alone. Shout out to Ray I definitely share his views on hip hop.
