Conversate For A Few Hip Hop Podcast

What’s good Few Tang Clan?!?! We may have bit off more than we can chew this time. We decided to choose the 10 Greatest Hip Hop Collabs of All Time...Waaaaay tougher than we thought it’d be. It was way more fun too. We tried to quell our biases; not sure how good a job we did with that one. Still, I believe we compiled a fair and comprehensive list. Let us know what we missed. We hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it. Make room for the tag...#CoversateForAFew --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conversateforafew/support

What’s good Few Tang Clan?!?! Are y’all as excited as we are for RZA vs DJ Premier? CAN’T be! We did our re-listening (as if that was necessary). We made our playlists on both Apple Music and Spotify (add your own songs to the Spotify list). It’s only right we officially have the conversation. On this Ep we discuss all the variables we can think of for the battle, who we might be rooting for, our plans for watching and more. It’s safe to say my cohost and I are more excited about this than any recent Super Bowl or NBA Final. You are eavesdropping on two big ass kids lol. We hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it. Make room for the tag…#ConversateForAFew --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conversateforafew/support

What's good Few Tang Clan! Welcome to Part Two of The Rap Bracket. On this episode we tackle the South and West regions. It's only right we brought back Few Tang Family, David Varnadoe to finish the job. I must say, these are the most interesting/unorthodox lists I'VE ever seen lol. And it took very HEATED banter at times to arrive at these names. Again, for the sake of time, we chose 8 names for each region. If you think we missed anyone, feel free to send us your list of emcees. We're pretty sure you will. As always, a special thanks to David Varnadoe aka @CountPaper for the assist! We hope y'all enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it. Make room for the tag...#ConversateForAFew --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conversateforafew/support

What's good Few Tang Clan!?!? Welcome to The Rap Bracket Part One! On this episode we're diving into our "March Madness" styled Rap Bracket. Our bracket is broken down into four regions; East, West, South and Midwest. The goal is to determine the All Time best rappers from each region. Being conscious of the time it takes to compile such lists, we decided to tackle two regions at a time. First up are The East Coast and Midwest. We chose eight emcees from each region. Yeah we know, there are sixteen slots for each region but we figured we'd leave some fun for you. This is a special ep so we called in Few Tang Family, David Varnadoe to help us out. It's always dope to have his perspective and insight on the show. This a good one y'all. We hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it.

What's good Few Tang Clan!?!? If you're like us, and 250K+ others, you love Hip Hop and you watched at least ONE of the producer/songwriter battles that have popped up on Instagram. We've seen everyone from Neyo and Johnta Austin to Lil Jon and TPain go at it. Some battles have been closer contests than others. Some of your favorites may have gotten washed. But every one of them have been extremely entertaining. These battles seemingly have it all; great music, comedy, gamesmanship, drama...The one thing they don't seem to have however, are RULES. And that brings us to today's episode. We decided to lay down some ground rules on which this IG battle game should be played. Feel free to judge the remaining battles using our rules. We damn sure will be lol. We hope y'all enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it.

What's good Few Tang Clan!?!? So this episode covers a couple topics. The overall conversation is about the importance of collaboration in Hip Hop. However, there's a twist. We have a special guest on this episode. We brought actor and emcee Louis Muhammad. His experience as part of The Hip Hop Project documentary gives him a unique perspective when it comes to collaboration. The Hip Hop Project is a movie presented by Bruce Willis and Queen Latifah. It follows the youth of an inner city music program and it's director through there journey to create an album and become better people. Trust me; It's a must see...I cried. But anyway this was a dope talk. We appreciate you Lou for taking the time to chop it up with us. Your input was invaluable. We hope y'all enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it. Make room for the tag...#ConversateForAFew --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conversateforafew/support

What's good Few Tang Clan!?!? Y'all gonna have to let us know how you feel about this one. I mentioned to Allan how similar I feel Chuck D and Tupac are as artists. At first he was taken aback lol. But after a little discussion, he started to see where I was coming from. He even began to share my viewpoint. We were enjoying the conversation so we decided to let you guys in on it. Which brings us here. The Compare and Contrast of Tupac Shakur and Chuck D of Public Enemy. We uncovered mad info we didn't know during this talk! The crown jewel being a letter Pac wrote to Chuck D in 95'! I'm ready to let y'all hear this one. So without further adieu, we hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it.

What's good Few Tang Clan!?! On this ep we break down the ingredients to a good song and a good album. We also discuss how we think artists end up being one hit wonders. It's easier than you think and can happen to far more talented artists than you'd imagine. We also get into how an artist can make a great body of work and have it STILL not resonate with the masses. There was a lot to dig into on this one. Oh we stumbled on a topic for our next episode. Might as well share it here. We're gonna talk about the similarities between Chuck D from Public Enemy and Tupac Shakur....That should be a good one lol. We hope y'all enjoy listening to this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it. Make room for the tag...#ConversateForAFew --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conversateforafew/support

What's good Few Tang Clan?!?! For us REAL music heads, not much tops the feeling of finding a new artist that moves you. The rush brings pride from finding it first, and duty because you HAVE to share it. Music is coming at us faster than ever and from innumerable directions. Still, the best way to receive new music is word of mouth. Today my cohost put me on to the "Reasonable Drought" album by Stove God Cooks, @godcooks on Instagram. While this isn't an album review episode, that album inspired this conversation. And yes, it's FIRE; so we did discuss it a little bit. But primarily the convo stayed around new music, how we feel when we get it, where we get it, how the community may give us new music next...You know, the usual music nerd shit we be on lol. Really though; we enjoyed having this conversation. We hope you enjoy listening the convo as much as we enjoyed having it.

It’s our hope to be a break from the madness; if only for an hour. But today our conversation is about the resilience of Hip Hop. Our conversation is about how the Hip Hop community responds to constraint and fear with creativity and love. Hip Hip is the world’s greatest hack. And we’re hacking the shit outta this situation.

We also give our thoughts on a few of the most important Hip Hop music videos of all time. There's so much more in the episode.

What's good Few Tang Clan!??! We're in some wild times right now but we'll get through it together. While everyone is talking COVID-19, we're gonna keep talking Hip Hop. So for at least a little while during your day you can get away from the insanity outside. On this episode we get into our feelings about Jay Electronica's long awaited debut album, "A Written Testimony". We went from not believing that we'd even get the project, to realizing that Jay-Z was supposedly going to be on most of the album...We didn't believe any of it honestly. BUT all of it was true...Now did that add up to a classic project worthy of not one but TWO God MC's. We let you know on this episode.

Okay Few Tang Clan! We're back on our criteria ish! This week we figured since we've tackled the criteria for a classic album and the criteria for legendary status, we figured we'd go one further and conquer the criteria for GOAT status. People throw the word GOAT around so much nowadays. But we don't think they really know what it takes to be a GOAT or how to keep their personal bias' out of the conversation. Well we've created a template for such conversations. This is THE Criteria For GOAT Status in Hip Hop. Hope y'all enjoy listening to this conversation as much we enjoyed having it.
