United States4 years ago - PLEASE DO A SERIES ON PRODUCERS!!!
Would love to hear you guys discuss the catalogues of various beatmakers! You could continue the ranking theme by taking any producer, cover the biggest songs of his career, throw his name up on the board, and then the next producer you do is either “better” than the 1st guy or not, above or below...That’d be so fun...
Love the podcast! Thanks guys!!

Apple Podcasts5William SmittersonUnited States4 years ago - Great listen
Fantastic thoughtful podcast breaking down albums that have been long considered “classics.” Unafraid to offer valid critiques of albums that have too long been off limits to criticism. Hope these guys go on for a long time.
