Whiskey Sessions

Andy and Brian open up the Porch, hit the spotlights and focus them in on one of the most influential musical groups of all time...A Tribe Called Quest. After breaking onto the stage in the late 80s, emerging from the Native Tongues Collective they helped to establish (which also produced Jungle Brothers and Busta Rhymes, among many others), Tribe went on to define a soundscape for the 90s. Join us as we explore their body of work. This episode we will be ranking our 10-6 favorite songs, next week will be 5-1, and the following week we will wrap it up by ranking their albums and tying up loose ends. Thank you for your service, Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Jarobi, and Ali Shaheed Muhammad.

Andy and Brian continue their deep dive into one of the most influential, ahead of their time, funky, nasty and lovely rap groups of all time, OutKast. Folks may know them for their radio hits and Andre 3000’s bombastic fashion sense, but that’s just the tippity top of the iceberg. OutKast (and their in-house production crew, Organized Noize, RIP Rico Wade) paved the way for the lush productions you hear from all corners of the hip hop world today. Antwan “Big Boi” Patton and Andre “3000” Benjamin are two kingpins of music history. Join us as we discuss their top 10 tracks (10-6 2 weeks ago, 5-1 last week) followed by an omnibus episode where we rank their albums and Brian drops an all-time great verse as a surprise on Andy to close it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrrdP7wBzf8

What if you took the sport of American Baseball (beisbol), got rid of the bats, made the ball smaller and used your hand to hit it off a tee? Genius new sport of the future, or brainworm-riddled RFK Jr. fever dream? You decide!
