Boom Bap Chronicles

Ep. 91 | 'Spend Dat' Controversy, Is Yung Miami Wrong?

Ep. 90 | BET Awards, Jay Z, Big Tigger and the Best Hip Hop Duos Episode 90. A round-number milestone, and the universe gave us the perfect setup: two stars on opposite ends of the PR spectrum in the same news cycle. Jay-Z just turned a Target boycott storm into nothing. He surfaced in a NY subway moment, told a baby-hair story about Reasonable Doubt with Beyoncé narrating, and not a single person...

Ep 89 | Did Jay Z Sell Us Out? Does Hip Hop Do More Harm Than Good Now?

Ep 87 | Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Griselda News, Drake vs Sauce Walka Three headlines and a Top 5. (1) Neil deGrasse Tyson on Shannon Sharpe — the Pluto bit, the brilliance, the Bronx. (2) Griselda news: Conway hopped on the same Drake "Free" beat we called out last week ("Conway heard us"). On the freestyle he addressed Cassandra, the Griselda-split rumor, and the Jay-Z meeting whe...

BBC Ep 86 | Jay Z responds to Everybody and Special Interview with Kase Klosed Special guest episode. We sit down with Buffalo MC Kase Klosed for the first half — her "I'm Only Human" EP, the follow-up "Lean Back," how her grandmother named her, and what she thinks makes a great artist. Then we get into Jay-Z's Roots Picnic freestyle in Philly: the State Property reunion (Memphis Bleek, Beanie Sig...

RIP Rob Base, Biggie's Grandbaby & Claressa Slaps Back | BBC Ep 85The Notorious B.I.G. is a grandfather. Biggie's daughter Tiana had a baby — and because Biggie set up a trust fund in the mid-90s, his grandbaby was born a trust fund baby. Almost 30 years after he was murdered. Most rappers still haven't figured out what Big had figured out at 24. On Episode 85 we open with that, then run the w...

Boom Bap Chronicles Episode 84 Drake dropped three albums in one night. We listened. We had thoughts. None of them were "this is fire." On Episode 84 of Boom Bap Chronicles, we get into why Iceman feels like more of the same Drake — the victim narratives, the empty threats, the LeBron-betrayal stretch — and why the most damning thing about this rollout isn't the music, it's the lack of growth. Plu...
