Conversate For A Few Hip Hop Podcast

This is your definite criteria for a CLASSIC Hip Hop album. Hell...this is the rubric for any genre! A lens through which to gauge the "musical" quality of your favorite artists' endeavors. Really though, we contrast and compare personal biases versus global considerations. This allowed us to create a global road map for discernment. Too many big words lol? Good. You should be listening anyway LOL. Make room for the tag...#ConversateForAFew --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conversateforafew/support

Two things...Excuse the audio on this episode. The only thing that went according to plan on this one was the actually conversation. Secondly, take note the timing of this episode may seem a little off. That's because the original show was accidentally deleted. BUT it was a damn good conversation so we felt it necessary to put it back out. This ain't a clout chasing episode. It's our real live feelings about what may have been the greatest troll move ever.

Okay so it's our first convo about a full R&B album...The last of the G.O.O.D. Music releases brings us Teyana Taylor. I'm not even gonna tell ya much about what we had to say. Listen for yourselves. And make sure you keep that same energy for Conversate For A Few after you do. Make room for the tag... --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conversateforafew/support

Last week was the anniversary of the late, great emcee Prodigy from Mobb Deep. The impact Prodigy and Mobb Deep had on Allan and Jana from Conversate For A Few is immeasurable. From the liquor we drank, cars we aspired to have, drugs we sold or used. It definitely influenced the way we rapped. Bruh wrote a few songs to the soundtrack of our young lives. We owe him more than an episode for all he gave. Yet this is our offering. RIP P. Hold ya head Dun. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conversateforafew/support

We got a bone to pick...Nas? What the f#@k are you doing Man?!?! You gotta get GRILLED!!! It's outta love though Bruh. We couldn't give him a pass. I'm pretty sure y'all ain't gonna like us after this. Make room for the tag...#ConversateForAFew Oh! Major shoutout to chinK, Lou, and justus for calling in to share your take on the album with us! Honorable mention to the quiet assassin Jay who was in the building today during the recording and added on his thoughts to conversation; much appreciated! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/conversateforafew/support

It's been a while since Kanye announce the release of 5 albums in a row this summer; all produced by Kanye himself. The most shocking part of the announcement was the inclusion of NAS on the list of artist due to drop. We don't know about y'all, but we at #ConversateForAFew were instantly skeptical. Will NAS really release an album. Will he pick the best beats Kanye has to offer? Since the recording of this show we've received 3 of the 5 records announce. NAS is next. We'll definitely discuss the album after it comes out. But we figured we'd let you hear what could be considered a bit of a rant. Does NAS deserve this? Are we tripping? Let us know in the comments!

As the G.O.O.D. Music Surgical Summer marches on we must give our take. The latest installment is #KidsSeeGhosts; the duo comprised of Kanye West and Kid Cudi. Is it a highlight? Is it a let down? Did you all care? Do y'all love it? Well we give our opinions. Let us know if you think they're valid. Are we on point or nah?

On this episode of Conversate For A Few we discuss the appropriation of Hip Hop and whether it will even be recognizable in its original form in 20 years. Race can be a sensitive topic. History however, is what it is. And if history serves as a teacher, Hip Hop is headed for certain theft. BE CLEAR...this conversation is more about capitalism than race. But you be the judge.

Alright Few Tang Clan! We don't generally do hot takes. And this isn't really a hot take. It's more an excited conversation about a brand new album we LOVE! We get into our favorite songs off the new Ye album. We give our opinions on where this record ranks among his others. And of course we get into the sub dissees layered throughout. There's so much more on this one. We recorded the day of the release of the album so I'm sure there will be more to talk about as Yeezy and his Surgical Summer Takeover march on.

We usually wait to let the smoke CLEAR before we dive in on a topic. But this one is moving way too fast to wait! On this episode of Conversate For A Few we chop it up about DAYTONA; the long-awaited LP from #PushaT (formerly titled #KingPush). Then there's the smoke. Push finally returned fire at Drake on Infared. And immediately!!! #Drake responds with #DuppyFreestyle. You KNOW we are here for every bit of what's about to pop off....It wouldn't be us if we didn't keep it 100 about sucka shit concerning the battle though. So the convo may seem to get a little greasy but remember, we're fans of the culture and reserve the rights to our opinions. And y'all deserve to hear them. So let's go!

We give Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino's "This Is America" song and video the conversation it deserves. We juxtapose Glover's high art against Kanye's antics and "woke" Hip Hop from earlier eras. We also get into the public's response to the song/video or lack thereof. There's so much more in this episode; too much for a simple description. Get into and let us know what you think!

On this episode we FINALLY got to do our first "Reverse Review"; where we choose an album from the past, a give it the review we feel it deserves. We decided to start with A Tribe Called Quest's last album, "We Got It From Here...Thank You For Your Service". We didn't say it had to be from the distant past, damn...lol. On this episode you'll hear why it took so long for us to get it recorded or "who" we believe was prevent it. We get into why the album sounds so sonically relevant. We also give Jarobi the kudos he deserves. That's only a glimpse of everything we discussed. The album is so dense there's no way we can give it its just due in one sitting. So we decided to review the album 4 songs at a time. We tackled the first four songs this time and we'll pick up from there shortly! Don't forget to subscribe, rate, comment and share the show!

We got a lot off our chests this episode. We talked about BIG and the anniversary of his assassination. We talked Craig Mack and his untimely passing. Karmic energy, mortality and speaking things into existence; yeah all that on a Hip Hop Podcast. We tried to give musical context to the Craig Mack/Biggie Smalls era; proving the greatness of ANY song or artists that made an impact during that time. We also ran down our Top 10 FunkMaster Flex Freestyles so far! Man it's a lot!!! Just give it a listen. If you have to stop and come back a couple times to finish...I promise we'll be here lol.

Conversate For A Few IS NOT a show about Classical Music. It's a show about Hip Hop hosted by Jana Avery and Allan Fuller for No Fridays For Me. This week we discuss the US Government's mandate for streaming services to pay more of streaming revenue to music publishers. But that wasn't the only big win for artists. We also get into it about Spotify and the addition of songwriter and producer credits for music on the platform. After listening back to this convo, I'm thinking Allan and I are a tad bit distrustful of the music industry and its players.

While everyone else got their year in review episodes in time enough to party for New Year's, we decided to wait until 2017 was actually OVER before we gave our take.
