Too often the architects of what has grown and evolved into this cultural phenomenon goes unnoticed or forgotten till it’s too late
I’d like the legacy and respect of these pioneers to be recognized and live on forever.
Podcast discussing the Golden and Silver era of Hip Hop: Emcees, Groups, Crews, Battles ... there will be lists, debates, and good memories

Going back looking at some of my favorite videos of the 80s and 90s to tell you or remind you how dope , wild, or just funny they were ... then you can go back and check them out again or for the first time.
This time Public Enemy: Night Of The Living Baseheads
A lot of people that listen to the show think I dislike Jay-Z or think he's bad (I mean now he is) but he used to be dope ... here's the thing ...
What happened to the First Album Chubb Rock did?
Why is it largely forgotten?
Why did he rhyme completely different afterwards?
I don't know, I just liked the album ... so I'm talking about it!
This is why I believe the songs we grew up listening to in the 80s and the 90s have lasted this long and will forever "age well"
In this new series we are asking does some of our favorite emcees truly have 10 timelesss songs, that regardless of generation the majority loves and will rock with an/or has stood the test of time since they were released
It's Kyle and I, so you know what's happening ... this time Jay-Z
First edition of Hip Hop Trivia, this time with @12Kyle of the 12Kyle Podcast and the Rapsoul Podcast
10 Questions ... I think they are easy, how will he do?
How would you have done?
Just because every ALL TIME Great list in Hip Hop Music begins with BIG and ends with Kanye ... lets stop omitting the foundation

It's Kyle and I, so you know what's happening ... first up LL!
Remember when Emcees and Rap Groups just wanted to be seen as or known as the best?
The best lyrics, Best Beats, Best DJ, Best Dancers?
No one cared about a record sold or a chart.
What are some of the worst songs made by Dope emcees?
Do the best emcees haven bad songs?
Kyle is back and we talk about it!
Going back looking at some of my favorite videos of the 80s and 90s to tell you or remind you how dope , wild, or just funny they were ... then you can go back and check them out again or for the first time.
This time Special Ed: Think About it!
The Funk Doc has one of the best discographies in all of Hip Hop IMO
Let's put them in order!
It is now, in the 70s, 8-0s, and early 90s we didn't care where you were from, what coast, what section, what whatever, the only thing that mattered was if the music was dope.
Just like I ranked all of the Albums AZ had (at the time) I'm ranking the Discography of Kool G Rap ... lets see if my order matches your order.
The Kangol Kid, Doctor Ice, The Educated Rapper, and Mix Master Ice collectively known as UTFO The Untouchable Force Organization.
One of my favorite Hip Hop Groups of all time, so I wanted to do a long overdue episode ... let me know what you think!
Coming off the unpopular opinion of who has dope music or classic albums, the question is, what makes something dope to me? Well ...
From the Albums released from: Clipse, Slick Rick, Ghostface, Raekwon, Big L, and De La Soul; Nas had at least one verse, on the project; Im ranking my favorites
How did I do?
They're only opinions, and you will definitely not agree with them, but it's fun to discuss!
If you enjoy, I will do more
Just like the 80s episode ... taking some time to give you a few Hip Hop albums from the 90s that were dope, that you probably never listened to all the way (or heard of)
Taking some time to give you a few Hip Hop albums from the 80s that were dope, that you probably never listened to all the way (or heard of)
Another list of me counting down my favorite solo female emcees in Hip Hop ... this list will not match your favorites, but listen anyway!
Why is it important that an emcees writes his or her ... or their own rhymes? Why is it different from emcees and singers
Here is my opinion.
Taking some time to spotlight how emcees over 50 years old are making some of the dopest and strongest albums in the past few years, it's great as a huge fan of the Golden age of Hip Hop to see some of the greatest to ever do it remain great!
In the REAL Mixtape era of the early to mid 90s there were songs you only heard on Mixtapes, and without the Internet, most only heard from trading tapes/CDs or riding around with friends, wanted to point out some.
In the 80s and 90s there were always sports references in Hip Hop, the more obscure the better ... this is AFTER Basketball by Kurtis Blow.
Anyway, wanted to highlight a few, let me know your favorites
In the 80s a lot of songs dropped and they were "My" this or "My" that, I wanted to take some time to talk about a few of my favorites back when Hip Hop was relatable
Which were your favorites? What Did I not mention?
Hip Hop STILL doesn't have a proper awards show, and it never has, the greatest of genre never got their just due and all of the classic emcees, songs, and DJs will never get their shine or love ... till now
Im going back and giving the legends of 1990 their credit and just due ... roll with me.

There are a ton of people with the notion that before Rakim made a song everyone rhymed like Dr. Seuss books, while Rakim did it dope and did it better than most, it wasn't the case.
Give me 10 minutes.
I wanted to do a quick show highlighting some Hip Hop artists that I enjoyed that only had one commercial release, and I wanted to hear more of them.
This was a lot easier than the emcees ... This is a list in order of my personal Top 25 Favorite Hip Hop Groups ... the order may change depending on the day, but this is pretty much it.
Not saying they are BETTER than the next or other, but who I like to listen to the most, it's kinda shocking

12 Kyle is being made to name 5 emcees better than some of your favorites, lets see how he does!
You ever buy an album on a whim and it ended up being dope? No promo, no word of mouth and it ended up a banger?
In this episode 12 Kyle grills me to try and place random Hip Hop albums from the 80s in my top 10, 15, 20 ...
There's always talk about who is underrated, and most of the time the same emcees are always mentioned and/or on some peoples top 10
Wanted to focus this one on, those who are dope and almost NEVER get mentioned ... kept by me!

On the heels of the Sprite "Obey Your Thirst" Hip Hop ads, St. Ides did something even better and bigger, Commercials, a Mixtape of the dopest artists and got an entire culture drinking one brand in unison

The Collective is not talked about enough ... so I'm talking.
In the 80s and 90s there was a clear difference, back when emceeing was a vocal sport vs. research and bringing personal issues to the music.
Kid n Play, Salt n Pepa, Sweet Tee, Antionette, Dana Dane, Kwame ...
WHAT was Hurby doing!? They were all together and did NOTHING!
In the 90s Sprite launched a campaign with the slogan "Obey your thirst" directed to the Hip Hop Audience ... lets talk about it

This episode I ask @12Kyle the Encyclopedia Hip Hop Podcast 10 Questions ... lets see how he does
There was one huge Celebration for Hip Hop turning 50, and it was kinda wack ... how could we do better?
What would be different?
What would be better?
I know a ton of things would be worse, for me ... what say you?
Before Social Media, hell, before the internet ... and before or around the time of Cable; we had no idea about some of the emcees and groups who were putting out music, a lot of times we bought albums based purely off of the cover.
I admit it, I never listened to/heard Nicki Minaj's verse on the Monster song, everyone talked about it, everyone loves it ... what did I think when I finally heard it?
Well ...

One of (if not) my favorite movie of all time The 1985 Hip Hop Classic, Krush Groove ... this episode I tell you all about it!
Jadakiss is no doubt one of the most talented lyricists in Hip Hop history, in my opinion has the greatest catalog of features. Has he ever dropped what people would consider a timeless classic project/album? Lets talk about it
For reasons, Nas and Jay-Z will forever be mentioned together ... much like Pac and BIG, this episode we explore all things considered as the album count is near equal , who over the entirety of their run has the better music. What say you?
Hip Hop music in the 80s , especially after the "Roxanne Wars" when an emcee or group recorded a song it was not uncommon for another to record a response record often dissing the original songmaker, what I will do with this series is highlight some that you may not be aware of. This episode spotlights the LL Cool J's "Dear Yvette" and the subsequent response records it inspired. Let me know what you think @encyclopediaHH
What is your criteria for a flawless album? What constitutes a "skip"? My Question is can an album with skits and interludes be consider flawless because most times you would skip them? Lets talk about it

Missy has hits on hits on hits, she appears on greatest female rapper lists, and other hip hop lists, but is she an emcee? Is she a dope rapper? Has she ever dropped a Hip Hop Album? I consider her a mega pop star, you could argue R&B, but lets talk about it.

We all love the 90s ... especially 95-97, but if you were around, you'd know that 1988 was a huge turning point for Hip hop music, so many debuts and timeless classics happened in just that one year, this episode is talking about that
We had to ... you saw that damn list. 12Kyle from the 12Kylepodcast and myself ... discuss the shitshow that was the top 200 Greatest Hip Hop Albums list by Rolling Stone, who SHOULD know better ... since they do/did not ... here's the ep.

In the early 90's there were a lot of kids 16 and under that dropped singles and albums on par with some of the heavyweights rhyming, no gimmicks, just beats and rhymes, I wanted to point them out so the ones around remember, and those who were not can go back.

Everyone wants to argue, debate, and get mad ... their favorite is the GOAT (Greatest of all time) and if you don't like them, you are wrong; but what is the criteria? What makes them the GOAT? It's all subjective, but to make the debates fun (and make more sense) I've come up with what I personally use to determine if someone should be in the conversation

This site will have a lot of lists; Top 10, Top 25, Top 50 etc. revolving around Hip Hop this particular list will be the Top 50 Hip Hop Groups of all time
It was real easy for me to come up with a top 50, and I was tempted to do that and post them but I figured it would be a good experiment to solicit other opinions and compare them to mine, what Hip Hop groups do people consider great? I decided to open the question to a few of my friends whose Hip Hop opinions I trusted, and then to their friends … this all came with some eye opening results!
This is how it was done, each person ranked their personal 50 Hip Hop Groups Those who weren’t able to rank a full 50 (lames) did their best The lists were compiled and averaged out, meaning the group got their ranks added together and divided by the number of participants If a group was ranked by one person but not by another, that group received a 51 for not being ranked and that number went into the average to make things fair
