[Podcast] Listen to me appearing on this week’s The Swift Chancellor Report radio show
Check me and the homie, Wes Jackson talking hip-hop on his York College radio show, The Swift Chancellor Report from this past Monday. Here are some of the more choice quotes from our exchange:
“Joey Badass is to me literally the epitome of what a middle-aged rap fan is looking for in a new artist…”
“Chance the Rapper can make music that a kid who is excited about the new Tribe record is gonna wanna listen to, but he’s also making records that are kind of art house takes on ratchet music…”
“Joey might be hampered by being a kid growing up in New York where they are so stuck on trying to revive this moment in time that’s like 20 years old now…”
“Lil Yatchy is not the SVP of hip-hop!”
“Learning your legacy [and] connecting to your elders is usually, almost universally, across cultures considered a good thing…”
“Rarely is ignorance a good jump-off point…”
Let me know what you think in the comments (note: I come on in the latter half of the show, around the 33:11 minute mark, but Wes sets up our chat in the first half and it’s a good listen, with some classic, vintage Jay-Z joints in the mix too as he talks on the occasion of Hov’s birthday about why he’s the GOAT, so play it in full if you can spare the time).
