United States3 months ago - This is the best podcast!!!
Open Mike Eagle is a great rapper in his own right. My friend told me last week about this series he did with Quest Love (season 4), and I plowed through that whole season, savoring every moment. I’m now on season 1, thoroughly enjoying these interviews with The Great Prince Paul. There are some great hip hop podcasts out there, but what separates this one from the pack, to me, is (1) Open Mike Eagle is not corny, and he’s not Stanning out, (2) Open Mike Eagle has a very humble, unpretentious, i... more

Apple Podcasts5Dr. Oh NoUnited States3 months ago - Season 4 was the gift that kept giving!
This first-hand account of the early years of The Legendary Roots Crew, the creative details, and engaging tangents had me captivated for two straight days!
Apple Podcasts5Sabin PrentisUnited States3 months ago - One of top 5 podcasts of any kind
This is just an outstanding podcast. If you like interviews it doesn’t get any better than this but if you grew up in the 80s or 90s listening to hip hop then this is just paradise. Open Mike Eagle is everything you want in a host: he has a palpable enthusiasm for his subjects; he asks interesting questions; he’s authentic; and he listens! The four guests so far have all been addictive listening, making these season-long interviews feel too short. Please don’t stop!
