To me, it will never get better than The Combat Jack Show during their prime run. When the crew was still intact, doing shows at PNC radio, Just Blaze high key flexing on everyone. I didn’t even give a f--- about the interviews, I just wanted that barbershop banter. That NYC, cracking jokes on each other vibe. That to me put the show on a different level. Combat paved the way for most Hip Hop podcasts, especially Budden and NORE. I’ve attended events he put together back when he was still alive. He was a legend RIP
I check out Budden and NORE occasionally. Never really cared for Mal or Rory tbh and NORE slobbering all over the place and cutting his guests off gets annoying after awhile. Premium Pete, who was part of The Combat Jack Show, has some good, under the radar interviews. Talib Kweli finally put his big mouth to use and put together a decent podcast.DKC, Ordinary Joel and 1999 like this. -

when they expand on the feeling their music evokes, the reason why they made it, that's ballin. when they make content for teenagers to recognize esoteric samples during their reaction videos, that ain't ballinDKC, Ordinary Joel and 1999 like this. -

Also, I'm sure Jay-Z's Decoded was much cooler in 2010 before RG was ubiquitous, but I read it last year and I ended up skipping reading most of the lyrical explanations because they were so boring and obvious. Beyond the lyric explanations that memoir was kinda trash in general.

I don't like the overanalyzing of music to the extent where it takes the magic away. Just me thoughOrdinary Joel, DKC and Chad Warden like this. -
