Hip Hop 50

Jeff and Anthony
About this episode

Step into the heart of Hip Hop history withour latest episode. Picture this: 50 years of hip-hop and we're celebrating it at the heart of the Bronx - Yankee Stadium. We kick off this episode pouring our thoughts on today's trending topics, from Alabama's buzz to Wayne Brady's recent revelation about his pansexuality. But that's not all. We also engage in some serious talk about the Lizzo body shaming controversy, and Tory Lane's decade-long sentence.

Did you catch the hip-hop event at Yankee Stadium? It was a night to remember, with legends like Common, KRS-One, Ghostface, and Method Man lighting up the stage. The cultural cocktail of attendees was a sight to behold and a true testament to Hip-Hop’s global impact. And let's not forget those unexpected moments of brilliance - Doug E. Fresh's beatboxing skills, Kid-Capri's scratch session, and Nas' outstanding performance. We were left in awe and surprise, given Nas wasn't even billed for the event!

As we wrap up, we take a moment to relive and review the unforgettable evening. We saw performances that ranged from TI's flawless execution of verses to Fat Joe's infectious energy, Run-DMC headlining and even the surprise appearance of the enigmatic Ms. Lauryn Hill. But beyond the music and the performances, it's the spirit of unity and celebration that truly captured our hearts. We also speculate about who might grace the stage at next year's event and discuss why hip-hop artists can never really outgrow their roots. So, grab your headphones and join us as we celebrate, critique, and anticipate the future of hip-hop.

Other Topics Discussed:

  • Tajiri Jose's big booty
  • The Hip Hop 50 Live show was the most diverse show ever
  • Derek Jeter makes an appearance
  • Cardi B lawsuit
