Censoring isn't new to hip hop. However, in the wake of people trying to "censor" and "cancel" Dave Chappelle and DaBaby, we revisit the idea in the context of modern day hip hop. We discuss if it's possible for hip hop to be censored, who actu
The tragic murder of PnB Rock forces us to once again have to examine what's going on with, what seems to be, increased violence and attacks on hip hop artist. We react to the unfortunate circumstances surrounding PnB Rock in particular, but al
An image of Kool Moe Dee's report card to rate MCs was resurfaced online and got everybody talking. Of course, we had to discuss this at the roundtable. As you can imagine, there was plenty to discuss and disagree with. #PullUpAChair, press pl
Recorded just after the tragic incident at Travis Scott's Astroworld concert, we discuss what hip hop's response should be and lessons learned for the culture. We always want to make sure that hip hop is growing and getting better, even in the
Although Funk Flex and Conway have since made peace, what came out of their back-and-forth was a need to discuss the responsibility of radio and DJs to promote artists--or establish if that even is their responsibility. Has Funk Flex turned his
Kanye's public bout with bipolar disorder is not necessarily a new discussion. However, at the time that he released the album Donda (in honor of his mom), we bring the conversation about mental health and who is looking out for our the faces o
Recorded during the same time we discussed our reactions to Bel-Air (way before all the recent antics), we turned our attention to Netflix's Kanye documentary Jeen-Yuhs. It's no secret that Kanye has been polarizing the last several years, but
Recorded when the show was first airing, we give our thoughts and reactions to the return of a classic in drama form. We all know and love Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, so of course we had to discuss the reimagined series and how we felt about it af
If you watch Issa Rae's latest show Rap Sh!t, you're familiar with the main characters Shawna and Mia. You probably also know about the struggles you they had with finding their sound, with Shawna trying to rap "woke" lyrics over trap beats. Th
If you have listened to our podcast in the past, you know that subjectivity is a common theme. Some people--*cough* Milan *cough*--seem to struggle with what is a fact versus opinion when it comes to music. When it comes to hip hop debates, sep
We're finally back! And like, fa real this time. In this "episode," you'll learn just a little about what we do here at Hip Hop Roundtable (although the best way to learn is to just listen to all the episodes). If you've been with us for a whil
After being able to sit with the album for a week, we come back to give MMTBS a more formal review. As usual, major debate ensues. Listen to what each of us had to say about the album after giving it a few listens and if anything changed from o
It's been toooo long sine we posted an episode. But if anybody was to bring us out of hiding, it's the man who does it best. Recorded the day Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers released, we talk about how we feel after the very first listen. Altho
Right after our last episode where we discussed whether or not rappers could release too much music, Benny was interviewed and seemed to side with Milan's point of view. We revisit our convo with these new comments in mind. #PullUpAChair, press
Recorded soon after the news of Biz Markie passing, we share our thoughts on his last legacy in hip hop. And, as one of our greatest beat boxers in hip hop history, we also show love to the art of beat boxing and how important it is to the cult
Consider artists such as Benny the Butcher or Ransom who release music at a crazy rate. Are they over-saturating themselves? Is it even possible for over-saturate if the music you're putting out is quality? Is there something to be said about f
Note: You may hear a little more colorful language in this episode than you usually do (in case you squirm at that type of thing).Despite the heavy loss of DMX, we were truly able to celebrate his life and legacy on this episode. Joined by the
At this point, everybody has had a take on Swizz and Timb selling Verzuz to Triller. Some have been disappointed that it is no longer a solely Black owned company, even to the point that some have claimed they "sold out." We sit down to discuss
Legends like Jay-Z and Nas have managed to get older in hip hop in a mature, but cool and relevant way. Is Drake on the trajectory to do the same thing or has he pigeonholed himself into a sound and style that can only last so long? We respond
No, this is not us just rehashing all of the same stuff people have been talking about regarding the Snoop/Em "beef" (although it looks like it's all squashed now). We actually discuss much more by exploring what Eminem's legacy, how his percep
We discuss what was one of the most exciting Verzuz for us after watching E-40 and Too Short fully put on for the Bay. We also try to show love for some of our favorite albums this year that provided some good to what was one of the most challe
By now, you’ve probably seen nearly nothing but praise for Benny the Butcher’s “Burden of Proof.” Nothing different here, except we do all end up agreeing that Benny may be the closest thing to Nipsey we currently have on display in hip hop. Mi
Recorded weeks ago, just as it was announced that Breonna Taylor’s killers would not be charged with murder, we explore what expectations we [should] have from artists. We also discuss the concept of being seen without being a distraction, the
I’m getting mad all over again listening to this episode! When legends like Nas drop, we should just be able to appreciate the music. But of course, what started out as our takes on “King’s Disease” (03:35) quickly led to some passionate discus
We went longer between recording than we usually do, so a lot had transpired between episodes. Because of that, it took us way too long to determine what we would even talk about, but we were already saying a lot, so we just hit record and went
