This morning Blueprint announced that his latest release, the Vigilante Genesis EP, will be released on May 27th and is produced entirely by Aesop Rock. One of the details Blueprint has dropped about the record is that it is a heavily conceptual, story album. So we decided to spend this episode speaking about storytelling. First, Illogic interviews Blueprint about Vigilante Genesis and then we lay down our thoughts on the Top Five Storytellers in hip-hop.

18: Hip-Hop Mom of the Year Apr 07, 2016

Show notes

The topic of fatherhood is one that rarely comes up in hip-hop, unless it is via the many stories about rappers either owing back child support or being absentee fathers altogether. These stories tend to take the focus off the other half of the equation, the mother. In this episode, a fun discussion about dumb rapper stuff transforms into a deep conversation about fatherhood, being denied access to your child, what it feels like when your father isn't around, and why hip-hop journalists cover these stories the way they do. We were initially on the fence about releasing this episode at first since it gets kind of real, but sometimes these rare conversations need to be heard. Blueprint and co-host Illogic get real adult in this one.
