#1996 Hard Core
3w ago01:09:04Tap to summarizeIt's a limited episode series celebrating the year 1996! It's the 30th anniversary of many classic albums from that year and we chose twelve to "re-review!" Sexy lyrics existed in hip-hop music before 1996, but not like this. Hip-Hop was always a male dominated art and filled with misogyny. Lil Kim's, Hard Core flipped the tables. Not only did the ladies love this unfiltered brand of "femcee" but the guys dug it too. Kim put together a bold, sexy, and bar driven debut that set the stage for artist like Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and more.

#1996 Beats Rhymes and Life
Apr 900:52:41Tap to summarizeIt's a limited episode series celebrating the year 1996! It's the 30th anniversary of many classic albums from that year and we chose twelve to "re-review!" Like De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest returned with a new album in 1996. Hot off the heels of a second classic album in Midnight Mauraders, 3 "long" years had passed. The landscape of hip-hop had changed dramatically from 1993 to 1996. A hardcore sound took over while a radio friendly record wave was on the horizon. Tribe released what was considered a very divisive album. Less Phife, a new edition in the emcee Consequence, and a new production team that included Jay Dee aka J. Dilla. Fans were mixed on the final offering. Let's talk about it!S/O to the guest for this episode: Marcus J.

#1996 The Coming
Mar 2600:49:24Tap to summarizeIt's a limited episode series celebrating the year 1996! It's the 30th anniversary of many classic albums from that year and we chose twelve to "re-review!" It had been 3 years since Busta Rhymes was kicked out of the rap group, Leaders of the New School. With the competitive environment that was 1996, Busta was charged with laying the path for his solo career. Would he sink or swim was the question but we know the answer. His solo debut, "The Coming" was prophetic.
