Conversate For A Few Hip Hop Podcast

It's a daunting task but someone had to do it. Growth In Hip Hop...What is it? How do you define it? Is growth destructive for the genre? Tons of questions; not sure if we have many answers but it sure made for a dope ass discussion. We'd love to hear you thoughts on the topic. Do you think it's growing, deteriorating or stagnant?

This is a special episode. The Homie and literal Family of the show, Cloverdale Rell aka Clovi came through and chopped it up about his upcoming project, "Church Street Vol.2"; from there we all give our opinions on the current state of Hip Hop. Some you may agree with. Some you may not. But the passion is real on the ep. We had a good time on this one. OH! I went back and listened to Clovi's "Church Street" album since I hadn't heard prior to this recording. And yoooooooooo!!! That joint is fire. Don't trust me though. Check it out for yourselves.

When artists and albums deserve it, we talk about it. And Meek Mill deserves it this go round. Meeks "Championships" isn't perfect but definitely fill a void; a void you might not have even known was there. On this episode we discuss the hits, misses, risks and possible rewards that may come from the release of this project. It's a FEW interesting takes on this one. Let us know what you think.

Did Migos steal a whole song from NC artist M.O.S.?!?! We review the evidence and give our verdict on this episode. If you haven't heard of M.O.S., he's super official. My crew had his demo and mixtapes, and were fans before he ever got his deal. Though things with the label didn't pan out they we all hoped it would, M.O. definitely left an impression in these streets lol. But did he make enough noise to get jacked by the biggest group in Hip Hop? Make room for the tag...#ConversateForAFew --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conversateforafew/support

The young boy has finally done himself in. Tekashi 6ix9ine is off to the feds to cool his jets for a while. Yeah we know this is a trending topic right now. But we decided to use this as an opportunity to get to the root cause of his problem; his choice in persona. Personas can mean everything for an artist in Hip Hop. It can be the difference between an lengthy career, prison time or life and death. Yeah we know, 6ix9ine didn't believe it either.

In a year full of rappers and emcees getting washed, how Joyner Lucas manage to catch to worse washing of 2018?!? And by a "singing nigga" no less...Bruh got baited by an official lyrical goon that happens to sing better than most "R & B" dudes. We have to be honest; we didn't see this one coming. If this is any indication of how your favorite rappers might fair against Young Torey Lanez, they might wanna fall back. And fast!!!

We at Conversate For A Few will not allow the Herculean efforts of Styles P in 2018 to go unnoticed; especially by our Few Tang Clan. Nope. No way. Notta chance. On this episode we give P the Ghost his just due. I BET there are a few takes on this episode...let's just say some of y'all might call BLASPHEMY on this one lol. But we said what we said. What? lol Make room for the tag...#ConversateForAFew --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conversateforafew/support

We had a good time recording this episode. My [cohost Jana Aver] cousins @hutchmickens aka Peanut stopped by and chopped it up with us on a BUNCH of topics. We just let the convo flow in whichever direction it wanted. And the results were pretty entertaining, if not interesting lol. Oh we talked Travis Scott a lil bit but the title is 100% CLICKBAIT lol.

Current events have force us to revisit the Pusha T, Drake beef. To give you a hint at what our take might be; we know sucka ish when we see it! Going on The Shop with Lebron James DID NOT help...Especially after Pusha's Surgical Fall interview with Joe Budden and'em.

Did y'all hear about the A Tribe Called Kast super group!?!? Well it was a real thing. No I'm not high! Big Boi and Ali Shaheed Muhammad confirmed it in a live interview. No misquotes. No edits. Can you imagine that?!?! WE DID. On this episode we breakdown what could've been. EPIC is the first word that comes to mind but we had plenty more to say than that.

Car talk doesn't mean what you think. We were actually IN THE CAR! We had some errands to run so we chopped it up in the whip. That's where we listen to music most anyway. And it's definitely home for many a great conversation. AND we wanted to do episodes from the whip when we first started the show. With all the being said, we talked Yandhi (spoiler alert: Yandhi didn't happen as of yet), Carter V, Logic and Lupe's Drogas Wave. We enjoyed it. Hope you do too.

Spotify for Artists is a real thing and we think it's gonna shake the industry up. In direct competition with SoundCloud, Spotify has decided to... if you don't know yet, listen to this episode. We break it down and give a few predictions on what the fall out might be. Make room for the tag...#ConversateForAFew --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conversateforafew/support

So Eminem dropped a surprise album. And no surprise at all, he dissed what seems like the whole Hip Hop, old and young, relevant and irrelevant alike. But is the album good outside all the smoke (and mirrors some might say). We KNOW he's spitting but is the ALBUM good. And what do y'all think of this "post-album roll out" thing he's got going on with the legendary Sway? We're giving our opinions and maybe a few predictions about where things are heading for Em on this one.

What up Few Tang Clan! This episode is coming to you a little out of order but never mind that. Just rock with us. We cover a few topics on this one. We start with the fact that musicians only made 12% of the 43 billion (with a B)dollars generated by the music industry in 2017. This ep continues conversations we've had before. You remember; Jerked Ain't The Word — Industry Rule 4080...Yeah, it gets worse. There's some really good info in this one; especially for aspiring artists and producers.

Who let Brian Rolli report on #HipHop and write the it for Forbes magazine no less?!?! The guy used his individual opinion of Em's "Kamikaze" album to blanket this amazing musical summer as underwhelming. Are we living in some parallel universe where two different and separate Hip Hops exist? Nope. We're living in an era in which Hip Hop is being gentrified even faster than our cities. Is there anything we can do about it? Y'all be the judge. Make room for the tag...#ConversateForAFew --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conversateforafew/support

Industry rule #4080...All my real #HipHopHeads will finish the line. On this ep we try and figure how artists get paid from DSPs or streaming platforms. I'm still flabbergasted at what we found. If you've never heard the term "moving the goalpost" before today, google it and THEN listen to this episode. I'ma give y'all 3 words in closing Direct To Consumer.

This conversation is the first of many...We all know Hip Hop is important. That's undeniable. But who is it important to and why is it important? What does that mean for the future of the culture? And oh!?! Have you heard of Jake Paul? Look him up. We think he may be a sign that Hip Hop has already become "too important" for its own good. We reference prior episodes a ton on this one. So we've listen links to those eps below. Catch up on the convos and/or refresh your memory if you've already heard it!

It's been a crazy and busy year already. The last thing we wanna do is disappoint our Few Tang Clan by waiting until the end of the year to do a review of the top happenings in the Culture. We KNOW we'd forget something if we wait that long. So here's our Half Year Review For A Few...We cover albums, things that make the culture proud, things that made it cry, and our perspectives on why things are the way they are. Let us know if we missed something you consider important. Special shout out to Jay and Justus (@theejcapri) for sitting in with us and chopping it up! Hope you enjoy.
