Nas ‘Stillmatic’ + Mos Def ‘The Ecstatic’ Reviews (Patreon Clip)05 Mar 202401:49:33

Full Stillmatic episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-episode-88128592

Full The Ecstatic episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-episode-86935654

 

Today we’re bringing you look behind the curtain of what’s happening at our Patreon, where we have hours and HOURS worth of bonus material for all you fellow rap nerds.

 

These right here are some highlights from our naughties rap album reviews, specifically Nas’ 2001 record, Stillmatic, followed by Mos Def’s The Ecstatic from 2009. Both incredible records that deserve their shine.

 

With a stacked guest line up of producer MIGHTHEALTHY, rapper and podcaster Zilla Rocca from Call Out Culture and The Next Movement Podcast’s Rob Kheul, these reviews buried deep into our love for Nas and Mos, and where hip hop was at in the naughties.

 

And of course if we’re speaking about Nas in 2001, we HAVE to start with his incendiary beef with Jay-Z, and one of the best diss tracks of all time - Ether.

 

Show Notes:

  • Ether: Best diss track ever? (02:00)
  • Is Nas the best old rapper? (18:30)
  • 5-Mic Moments on Stillmatic (35:00)
  • Thoughts on One-Mic (49:45)
  • The Ecstatic: Mos Def’s Madvillainy (1:01:28)
  • Mos Def compared to Mach-Hommy (1:29:50)

Trailer: Introducing...Stories About Songs with Kevin Beacham08 Sep 202300:02:45

Hey, Crate 808 fans! If you are listening to this show you're probably a 90's rap nerd like the rest of us, and if so, you gotta check out the newest show from Open Mike Eagle's podcast network Stony Island Audio. It's called "Stories About Songs with Kevin Beacham" The host Kevin Beacham is a documentarian, journalist, radio host, and all-around rap superfan. Some of you may know him as the co-founder and host of Scribble Jam, or as a longtime label rep for Rhymesayers.

 

In each episode, Kevin shares some of his greatest stories from his years as an industry insider focusing on one artist or movement in Hip Hop that made a lasting impression on Kevin and his work. These are the stories of not only how he fell in love with Hip Hop, but how that love has continued to keep him connected.

 

Stories About Songs is not just a podcast, but an immersive listening experience, a tapestry of rare beats, breaks, and samples intricately woven around Kevin's storytelling by fellow rap nerd and podcast producer Rob Van Vranken whose work you may have heard on a few other influential Hip Hop podcasts like The Cipher, Secret Skin, Headspin, or even this very podcast Crate 808!

 

You can find Stories about Songs on Spotify and Apple Podcasts now! Get caught up on Season 1 and make sure to subscribe to hear new episodes as they drop every Friday starting July 7th.

DJ Quik’s 3-Album Run w/ Max Bell | Ep. 15017 Feb 202301:57:28

We return with our series looking at the most historic three-album runs in hip hop, and this one is BIG. We bring on writer Max Bell to break down the incredible slate of records from the one and only DJ Quik - Quik Is the Name (1991), Way 2 Fonky (1992), Safe + Sound (1995), as well as Rhythm-al-ism (1998).

 

You’ll hear from a dope spectrum of rap voices, including Jeff Weiss, Dart Adams, Pete Tosiello, Nate Le Blanc and the Weird Rap collective. 💥
