LIVE From The Basement

Were back with a racially charged episode of the show featuring and interview with Detroits own Black Milk, some great music and some BIG announcements that we are really excited about for the show. We also talked with King Soul from KonsoleKingz.com and discussed the new XBox OS, PS3s decline, the Wii and more. And yes, we got Snoop EZ back on again to talk about Pac mans win over De La Hoya too.

Major, JMack and Phro went in real hard on Lil Wayne vs 50 Cent this episode and got some good caller feedback to go in on it. Special guests this week were Snoop, our Boxing analyst and Tony Moon, your number 1 pick for Episode 78!

Great show featuring an interview with K.Sparks winner of Episode 75 as well as a special guest interview with former Shady Aftermath recording artist Stat Quo. Six bangin new underground and independent tracks for yall as well so make sure you pop through to the voting and vote for your favorite track and buy these artists CDs!

Make sure you ride the episode out, Vin as at the very end when he called in last minute! Overall it was a real fun show. Shouts to all the listeners who came through and chatted and emailed!

We decided to step it up and start bringing you guys shows every week! Fridays we will be trying out these smaller shows with mostly mainstream music, no voting, and completely free form. Whatever happens, happens....and stuff happened LOL. So make sure you catch us LIVE and we will try our best to make it each Friday and also the following week on Saturday! This episode we spoke all kinds of topics, but the biggest discussion by far was on a simple question. Who in hip-hop would you nominate for president and why? Check out this ep to hear what we thought as well as other callers!

Welcoming the new website, new show features talking everything from Sarah Palin and rotten females to Las Vegas and a special guest shout out from Barack Obama (apparently he has Young Bergs chain too). We were set, prepared and emailed all of you about the interview with Devin the Dude which fell through, as Devin was sick that day. But its all good, we should be getting him back on for an interview as well as a SWEET giveaway, special thanks to Devin AND his dudes. Also we FINALLY got in an interview with mutli-episode winner Icee Jake.

Our first show LIVE on UStream video, AOL Radio AS WELL as the podcast! We had a great time this episode and Phro is finally back in the building. Spinning some heat for yall this week too probably the hottest group of tracks weve spun together in quite some time. Make sure you sign up for the mailing list to so you can stay up on the LIVE shows! Weve got some crazy stuff coming up for the next episode!

We jumped this episode off immediately with an interview with Joe Budden just before he got on a plane, so we were immediately in rare form this time around. Major and JMack were Phro-less this week but they kept the show rolling after the Budden interview with some great underground hip-hop joints, a couple more calls with Nai from StrictlyFitteds.com, CJ from KonsoleKingz.com as well as some listener calls. Hot show, hot music, great calls. Make sure you check it out. And sign up for the mailing list yall to get in on the live shows!!! Next Episode comin Saturday, August 16th!

Episode 68 was all about having fun and touching on the topic of the age gap in hip-hop. Early in the show we spoke with the winner of Episode 67 Najee and discussed the topic at hand as well as his album “Westside Story”. We also spoke on the Ice-T vs Souljah boy debate (the live show was 2 weeks ago). Later in the show we caught up with Fresh, genius writer supreme and owner of the entertainment news blog, Crunktastical.net and talked about her site, and laughed for about a half hour straight. Hopefully we didnt harrass her too bad and she will come back for the next episode. Through the rest of the show we took some calls, spoke on SOHH getting hacked to death, more Kwame Kilpatrick hip-hop mayor talk, discussion of the double standard N.E.R.D. music and more!

This episode was recorded about 3 weeks ago as we took our annual summer break. But were back! This episode was loaded with great music and we had alot of fun, although we had to work through a major technical failure and a nasty ass heat wave when we recorded this episode. Make sure you check out the HoodHype blog and peep the Shows category to get the second half of this episode which included the white boy water taste test as well as another special interview with Bishop Lamont.

We"re back in the building with some fire music for yall this week. This episode we got into the MTV "Top 10 Hottest MCs" list and ripped it to shreds along with MTVs "Brain Trust". Later in the show Major, Phro and JMack bounced to the subject of reparations and had a bit of a heated debate and also discussed a track the review staff was split on. Lots of good stuff for yall this episode, check it out!

Episode 65 was a crazy one. The show itself ended up being 3 hours, but luckily after some editing we managed to get it down to a more manageable hour and a half so we arent continually murdering your iPods space. So you may notice some continuity shit going on in the show. We kicked the show off immediately with a track and a FRESH interview with Killer Mike, talking about everything from conscious rap (which he said is rather whack) to Alexis Tyler on his show Grind Time Sports Show (BANG! BANG! BANG!). We spoke on marketing beef vs the legitimate rap beef. We then spoke with the winners of Episode 63 Rideout and Terry Cole for their song Ways to lose Detroit. COP THEIR ALBUM!! Overall we had a great time, and we really wish we could post the last segment of the LIVE show but we figured maybe we would post it some other time so we could FINALLY get this one out to yall. Enjoy and we look forward to your feedback. Please post here, email or call us with your comments for the next show!
