#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.

#1996 Stakes is High
Mar 1301:00:46Tap 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!" De La Soul thrived at a time when most old school rappers would of fell off. Not only did they drop a new album in the highly competitive year of 1996, they dropped one of the best. The trio stood tall on perserving the culture at a time when money and fame began to dictate what "real" hip-hop music was. Stakes is High is a landmark album in the career of a legendary hip-hop group, and one of the greatest albums of all-time!
