About this episode

This one's a two-parter because we know you'll come back for more! This first part of the conversation is all about the heyday of hip-hop and how much there is to love about it. And lucky for me, I’m joined by hip-hop masters Big Daddy Kane, Mad Skillz, and Lord Finesse to discuss all the finer points of music. We're also joined by the incredible comedian and impressionist, Aries Spears, who has no mercy for what’s passing as hip-hop these days! 

We talk about what’s going on with the hip-hop genre today, respecting the artists who started it all, and the power of language in general. I hope you like it, and if you do, go ahead and come back for the second half of the conversation next week!
