Hip-Hop Manifesto!!!: The Podcast

Episode 5: Album Vs. Album #1 - Reasonable Doubt

B Hyphen and Chivalry — Fri, 01 May 2009 13:37:34 GMT

Chiv and I continue our first "Album Vs. Album" series. In this first installment, we put former foes Nas and Jay-Z against each other once again as we compare the albums they released in 1996. Chiv explains how he completely ignores "Feelin' It", I take Jay-Z to task over whether "22 Two's" really came off the top of his head or if he wrote it down, and we end things on a somber note as we both "Regret(s)" doing this part of the episode in the first place. Get your Super Mean Pimp on and start listening!

Episode 4: Album Vs. Album #1 - It Was Written

B Hyphen and Chivalry — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 18:05:39 GMT

Chiv and I begin our "Album Vs. Album" series where we take two albums, break each one of them down and then decide the overall winner. In this first installment, we put former foes Nas and Jay-Z against each other once again as we compare the albums they released in 1996. Be ready as I reveal I have 2Pac on speed dial, Chiv asks Foxy Brown questions she can't hear, and we both cower in fear at the phrase "Nas Is Coming"! As Diddy would say, "Let's go people!"
