The Olympic spirit is extremely strong because it got Arcee to watch a hockey game. We actually talk about sports, albeit Olympic sports but, sports! We go from the highs of Canada’s sporting success to the lows of the news that Keith Elam aka Guru has been hospitalized and in a coma, our thoughts are with him and his loved ones.
Dr. P-Plus is in the building! For those of you still having trouble getting the ladies, learn the P Plus method of “Letting it be known”, or the Arcee and Inzane method of “Do as little work as possible”. The Freqs go deep on relations.
The incomprable DJ Starting from Scratch (Flow 93.5 FM, Amnesia, Sweet Tears, Russell Peters tour Dj, etc, etc, etc) enters the DSG world this week. We go through the history of one of Canada’s top Dj’s, from how knowing Arcee from back then enhanced his career (not really) to the state of Djing today, (boring) or is it…

As we wrap up 2009, we take a look back at the decade’s best albums. Now this being Hip Hop there is no way you can make a list with out a ‘discussion’, so we brought along Big Jacks (Grand Groove DJs) and the homie DJ Agile (Brassmunk, Big Black Lincoln) to add their views and take a look at a decade we thought was weak?
Also peep count down on this weeks show with guest co-host Kardinal Offishall.
Check the list after the jump, and join in.
We continue to celebrate some of the unsung lyricists in Hip Hop, Lil Dap, Tim Dog, Stezo. This episode we step into the world of the Beatnuts Psycho Les, a world of violence and titties. Sounds like a good world, join us won’t you?
A short session this week. We touch on the origins of the fucked up spelling of Musiklee Inzane, Arcee’s Indian dad stories and random Hip Hop.
Hello bitches, were back! We take a look at the career of the God MC, Rakim. Is he still deserving of such a title, considering his last few efforts have not lived up to his classic works? We attempt to listen to his latest album “The Seventh Seal”, listen to Ra speak on Nas’ Unauthorized Biography, and Arcee’s waning confidence at keeping him as his number one MC.
I must say we were quite amped for this episode. For most of us in our late 20’s to 40’s growing up in Canada and getting the latest in “urban” music was something you planned for since there were so few outlets, so when that one Hip Hop radio show came on in your city, everyone was listening at the same time.
The same could be said for Muchmusic., Canada’s music station. Seeing a R&B/Soul or Hip Hop video only happened originally on one show, Soul In The City, everyone watched or taped it for the latest, oh and when there was a Hip Hop special, it was an event! From that show eventually Rap City became a reality and so on. The original face for both of those shows and others like the Power Hour and New Music, was Michael Williams, he of the sleevless T’s.
We go through a ton of history in one hour, if you hear some names you don’t know, get up on Google the man has a wealth of musical knowledge.
If you need more, you can catch Mike, George Stroumboulopoulos (yes the guy from The Hour), K-Os, and Your Boy Brian over at 206 Beverly next Thursday Oct 29th for Stay Gold
Food glorious food! Tell me where that song is from and I’ll give you a candy. P Pleezy sits in on this session as we discuss food, how much would you pay for a good meal, and just because it’s expensive is it really a good meal? That’s not all though, it is impossible for us not to talk about music, record shopping to Acree’s well documented hatred of Neo Soul.
This is an unprecedented episode. After repeatedly telling our guests “we got to have you back”, and never doing so, DJ Jason Chambers (Attitude Sound Crew, Flow 93.5 Mid-day Mix, Amnesia) has the honourable distinction of being the first ever repeat guest. It was more of just happening to be around the studio at the time, than anything else. we kid, we kid.
We touch on the value of records, the deterioration of the ‘music community’, and Mr. West.
