Kasting Cuzzins | Reformed White Rappers Reflecting On Their Sins

Oops... we did it once more ? Hey! We're back for the second time - in our new iteration - dishing about dishes, rapping about raps, and speculating about whether the Wu-Tang Clan has too much of its portfolio allocated to cryptocurrency. Along the way, we highlight the tracks and artists that we're rocking right now, including Aminé, Deerhoof and Young Purple himself, Joey Purp. Also, Alex misnam...

Whatchu jammin' on? HEY! We're back... that is, US, the Kasting Cuzzins crew. And we're up to our old tricks; Talking about music, talking about food, and tripping over comedy bits that are equal parts relatable and unsettling. Today we introduce a BRAND-NEW SERIES called #LunchBreakz, which has an important connection not just to our hearts, but to those Jacksonville baddies, Limp Bizkit... kind...

Alright alright alright. This week we're taking it back to Proxy's q-zone: Mediocre beats and radical displays of toxic masculinity. We discuss yet another super-weird breakup track, "Double-You-Tee-Eff." And along the way, we reveal who this beat was originally meant for... shameful stories from our youth... why Keef had Al Pacino bedsheets...  and more . Join us? https://kastingcuzzins.com fb/tw...

Get in the car, loser... we're going to Blondie's! In this week's action-packed Kast, we explore the Proxy (featuring Keef Herbin) joint, "Free Show." We get into the casual misogyny in the lyrics, references to various Metro Detroit locales, and the proper way to pronounce "disparate."

Are you a glutton for PUNishment? If so, you're in luck! Because today we're talking about the Keef Herbin forced-pun majeure, "Oreoutro." Which is to say... We are wrapping up our discussion of the Sweet Tooth EP, with a conversation that weaves our rap with the sexy stylings of Ray J and Yung Berg, not to mention Fall Out Boy - or, as Jay-Z lovingly calls them, Young FOB. Hang on, kiddies... it'...

Whoa! Did you just stumble into Ollie's? Because this week's episode is a HOT THREE-FOR-ONE DEAL. That's right, three takes on the same song, courtesy of Proxy, Keef and...uh, DJ E-State? It's a real grab bag of vibes. And along the way, we'll touch on some of life's biggest questions: Who was Mike Seaver's best friend on Growing Pains? Are They Might Be Giants the fathers of emo rap? And what's t...

Turn the lights down low... 'cause we 'bout to get FREAK-AY. In this week's Kast, we really tear into the "rump roast," i.e. discuss the Hall & Oates-sampling raunch-fest "Swisher Sweetheart." And to aid us in our discussion we have none other than *actual* hip-hop producer and engineer DJ Ray. Find out why Ray chose Keef to be one of his final musical collaborators in the Detroit area... and what...

Choke down those omega-3s and slip on your Crocs, because today's Kast is all about the Proxy solo jam "Bed, Bath, Etc." That's right... It's a deep dive into the world of middle-class suburban white moms, through the lens of rap (for some reason). We'd love to say that if you listen it will all make sense, but... it won't. You'll have fun anyway though! *And* you'll be treated to the carefully ma...

See? We told you we'd be back! In the 43rd episode of this here rap podcast, we explore the Sweet Tooth track "Trill Mix," which features guest rapper Exactly (of Stereoloud fame). We talk beats and flows... wince at some of Keef's references to female anatomy... and speculate about the race of John Oates (turns out he's Italian-Moroccan, guys!). In other words... it's business as usual. Join us?...

Needle drop: "The Boys Are Back in Town (sCreWed aND ChOpPed reMiX)" That's right. We. Are. BACK. After a 2.5-month hiatus, the Kasting Cuzzins are picking up where we left off, with weekly episodes dissecting the bad white rap tracks of our youth. And this week's track is one for the ages, man... Listen as we discuss the toxic masculine energy of Proxy's solo joint, "B(ad) Day." Plus: R.I.P. to S...

Good news and bad news abound in today's episode. (No, we're not #cancelled... chill with that.) Fans of the spoken words - which should be YOU, right? since you listen to podcasts and all - will love this "special" reading from Proxy's essay collection. It's a spirited recollection of his confusing time as a white rapper. PLUS: Some important news about the show. Join us? https://kastingcuzzins.c...

It's a good ol'-fashioned pass-the-mic in today's Kast as we discuss "Charleston Charge" from the Sweet Tooth EP. We hope you're hungry because we'll once again be digging into a tasty beat courtesy of DJ Ray... and some lyrics that go SO HARD that they borderline on the nonsensical. For example: "Rhymes straight Gastly, sleep on rappers like Snorlax, f*** every Jenny and wash my d*** with Borax."...

Oops... We did it again! Chris scored us another killer guest for this week's episode... or so he says. Who is it? And how much did it cost us? You'll have to listen to find out. And when you do, you'll also be treated to a lively discussion of the Proxy solo track, "Int. Flow's Place - Day," which is indeed a rap song written as if it's a screenplay. (Apologies in advance.)

Wha happened?? Normally we're a podcast about bad white rap... But this week we're talking to a guy who's extremely good at rhyming... producing... AND battling. Get excited #KCNation! Because the Cuzzins somehow convinced the one-and-only COPYWRITE to join us for a candid discussion any hip-hop fanboy will be dying to hear. Copy shares stories about life on the road with RJD2 and the MHZ crew......

Exciting things are afoot here at Kasting Cuzzins. In this week's ep, we tease some upcoming coolness that will probably actually happen. Definitely. Perhaps. And... as we are wont to do, we take an in-depth look at some vintage white rap. Our track du jour (ugh,  more French??) is the Keef Herbin solo thang, "Must Eat TV." Come for the rhymes... stay for the Costanza scratches. Join us? https://k...

Welcome back, #KCNation, to another exciting episode of the Kast. We're back to our regular format - picking apart at least one of our decade-old attempts at white rap. In this week's episode, we've got the Point Blank By Proxy solo jam "Monday" on the dissection table (that's a thing, right?). We talk about the inexplicable French bits... the beat's jazzy "Wonderwall" sample... and Kanye's obsess...

2021 is here... and has been here for a few weeks. But now that KC is finally dropping it's first ep of the new year, it just FEELS real, you know? In this week's show we talk about the Cuzzins' bid for Parler fame... that time our music was featured on Chris Hardwick's Nerdist podcast... and what YOU, dear listener, can expect in the weeks ahead. We've got some big plans for 2021. Join us? https:...

We did it, folks. Kasting Cuzzins has secured our first sponsorship deal: A cloud-based auto-tune software that you've gotta see (hear about?) to believe. Oh, and we also spent a lot of time talking about our quintessential holiday rap track, "A Very KC Christmas," as well as how lame A Christmas Story is. It's a real festive affair in this, our last episode of 2020. (Don't worry, we'll be back in...

Deck the halls with goth-a-plenty! We're getting into the holiday spirit this week... NEGABLOOD STYLE! It's a good ol' fashioned doom metal Christmas as we reimagine a former Beatle's classic. That's right... the British accents are BACK, luv! Join us? https://kastingcuzzins.com fb/twitter: @kastingcuzzins

We did it, guys. We made it to our LAST episode discussing KC's debut rap album, We'll Burn That Bridge When We Come To It . In this action-packed finale, we destroy the sour note the album ends on... the unnecessary 80s pastiche, "Secret Track." We also play a clip from our one and only live show, diss Michael J. Fox (sorry MJF!) and shout-out UGK, Paul Wall and Three 6 Mafia. PLUS: An attempted...

Ah geez. We're nearing the end of the season... perhaps the end of an era? Either way, in today's Kast we're discussing the second to last track on our debut rap album, "We'll Burn That Bridge When We Come To It." We get into Chris' sick Sarah Palin diss... Alex's rhymes about Tears for Fears... and the time the X-Ecutioners implied we were racist. Join us?  https://kastingcuzzins.com fb/twitter:...

Fresh from the cutting room floor... This snippet from Ep.30 was too good to throw in the rubbish bin. Fans of early Incubus rejoice! Here's five minutes of the Cuzzins heaping love on a true banger of an album.

Welcome back for another action-packed episode of Kasting Cuzzins. In this week's episode (#30!) we are picking apart a real clunker - the melancholic "It's Alright," which features the German rapper Nervous. But don't blame him! As you'll soon discover, the real issues with this song can be traced down to Chris' butt rhymes, Alex's bad guitar-playing and a whooole lotta bad white rap. In other wo...

Are you ready for some toxic nerd culture raps? To paraphrase Stefon, this week's track has everything : References to Final Fantasy... Duke Nukem... Dungeons & Dragons... weird sex stuff... and more! In other words? It's classic KC. And if that weren't enough, Alex dusts off his Eminem impression while Chris drives the conversation - once again - toward the Big Buford. Join us? https://kastingcuz...

Ok, let us apologize upfront. We were supposed to do an episode about our pre-recession anti-corporate anthem "IDDQD." And we did that. But for some reason we also spent a lot of time talking about the Big Buford. Like... A LOT. So, hopefully you dig your rhymes with a side of curly fries and a banana shake. Join us? (For real, this is a fun one. No cap.) https://kastingcuzzins.com fb/twitter: @ka...
