Episode 6 of the Dead End Hip Hop Podcast is here, even if it pulled up a little late.
In this episode, the crew kicks things off with a quick rundown of the latest in the culture. LaRussell takes center stage as we break down the backlash to “Heaven Sent,” his response to the criticism, and what it means when an artist stands firm versus when they may be misreading the moment.
We also tap in on 50 Cent being back in diss mode, doing what he does best and keeping his name in the conversation.
From there, we get into a heated debate sparked by a viral topic: which rappers have had long careers but still don’t have a “classic” album. What actually qualifies as a classic in today’s era, and has that definition shifted?
In our Old School segment, we revisit Me Against the World and discuss whether it deserves the same deep dive treatment as All Eyez On Me, while also highlighting Kollage as it celebrates 30 years. We talk about its impact, its production lineup including DJ Premier and Guru, and why it often gets overlooked in bigger conversations.
In “Pour Out A Little Liquor,” we take time to remember The Notorious B.I.G., reflecting on the events of March 9, 1997, and the lasting legacy of Life After Death. With the 30 year mark approaching, we start the conversation on what a proper tribute should look like.
We close things out with “Ear to the Street,” spotlighting what we’ve been listening to and what deserves your attention right now.
