    Deep Blue Sea

    Blastfrom goes to the movies for another musical tie in. Deep Blue Sea stars Thomas Jane, Saffron Burrows and, of course, LL Cool J. Though it was released into the world in theaters in the year 1999, its natural habitat is in a video rental shop. In the UK, this would have been available to rent in the spring of 2000 - something to enjoy on that fancy new DVD player of yours. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The Blastfrom Edits - Hard to Earn by Gang Starr

    In 1994, Gang Starr released one of their most celebrated albums. It's still regarded as one of the very best albums of what was arguably the greatest year in the history of rap music. At the time the cassette was the format of choice and that would allow around an hour of audio and most artists were more than happy to fill that up. You've heard the saying 'do more with less' but in this instance we want to do less with more. Once again we try to edit down a beloved album to fit the single disc LP format. Was hard to Earn hard to edit? Direct your thoughts and feeling to blastfromcastfrom@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The Year 1974

    We're swimming back in rare chronological order with the year that directly followed 1973. Another Ted Heath update as well as a muddled retelling of the Watergate scandal. Plus the movies, television and music of 1974. If you'd like a Spotify playlist of songs from the year to soundtrack your journey with us, you can find that here https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2lul9o7l30ghV2wRgbsu9O?si=OwBam23wQWeXXw-tPoYMtQ Hosted on Acast.

    Rap Ratings - Will Smith, Redman, KRS-One

    In this episode we rate three rappers in five categories to arrive at a rating. This is not to be taken entirely seriously but is a fun discussion about Hip Hop's obsession with knowing who is the best in the world. Rather than focussing on the tired conversation of who is the greatest of all time, we take a snapshot of each rapper at a particular point in their career. Will Smith from 1997-1998 Redman from 1992 - 1993 KRS-One from 1996-1997 The categories are: Rhymes Technique Performance Acclaim Popularity Please accept our apologies in advance.
