Hip Hop On Gun Control Apr 03, 2018

Show notes

I'm sure by now, y'all have seen people goin' at Killer Mike over his NRA interview. Well, we figured we discuss that and how we think the hip hop community in general feels about gun control, the #MarchForOurLive movements, and community violence. This is one of those episodes where we hold hip hop accountable for taking up the real issues. We try to do our part by starting the convo here. So with that said, #PullUpAChair.

January 2018 Catch Up Jan 26, 2018

Show notes

As you will be able to tell in the episode, all 3 of us are still trying to catch up to 2018. Since we weren't able to record until late in the month, we just decided to catch up on a few of the things that have happened in hip hop, inculding: Skillz vs. Uncle Murda and the whole Year End Rap Up beef, Cardi B continuing to break records, teasing the next episode where we will do our own version of "Rate the Bars". All that said, make sure you comment and let us know your thoughts. Finally, welcome to 2018 from HHRT #PullUpAChair

2017 Rap Up Dec 31, 2017

Show notes

As we do every year, we do a review of the past year as we head into the new. We've constantly asked throughout the year if 2017 could go down as one of the greatest in hip hop history, so of course we discuss. We go through our favorite releases, what shocked us the most, and our biggest disappointments. We also pay respects to those we lost, and do a follow up conversation on Joyner Lucas after discoveirng even more of his music. Some classic hip hop debate in this one, so press play and then let us know your thoughts in the comments section. Welcome to 2018 people. #PullUpAChair

"I'm Not Racist" Video Review Dec 09, 2017

Show notes

If you haven't already seen/heard about it, there's a video on YouTube called "I'm Not Racist" by an artist named Joyner Lucas, which is getting a lot of attention (check it out here before you listen). We review discuss the video and song in a way that only HHRT can do. But of course, a roundtable is nothing without your thoughts and opinions, so let us know what you thought about the video and our comments on in in the "Comments" section. #PullUpaChair

"4eva Is a Mighty Long Time" Album Review Nov 07, 2017

Show notes

With all the love we show Big KRIT on this podcast, you knew we had to do a review of the album. Not much more to be said about this episode than that. Press play, listen, and then comment! Let us know what you thought of the album.

Do White People Appreciate Hip Hop More Than Black/Brown People? Oct 28, 2017

Show notes

Maybe one of the Blackest episodes we've ever had. Recorded last week and based on recent events and a really...interesting video that we came across, we discuss whether or not white people (or others outside the culture) actually appreciate our culture more than we do. Don't catch feelings before you listen. Press play, listen, and then let us know what you think by commenting. #PullUpAChair

P.S. The review of the KRIT double album will more than likely be the next episode. We ain't forgot.

Eminem's "Trump Freestyle" Reaction Oct 17, 2017

Show notes

On this episode, we discuss Em's freestyle on Trump that got everybody talking. We discuss our inital reacitons to the bars alone, having a white rapper be the only one that truly took 45 to task on the show, and how Em's white privelege impacted the way people received the freestyle. This was the type of episode this podcast was created for. Hit play, listen, and then comment with your thoughts!

"Laila's Wisdom" Album Review Oct 03, 2017

Show notes

The title is pretty self-explanatory. Rapsody has been receiving some high praise for this album, and it's probably obvious why. Still, we discuss if it's worthy of the hype. You can imagine what Milan may think. Press play and let us know your thoughts by leaving your thoughts in the comments section.
