    BWBC: Song Breakdown #2: Rise - The Wickedest Flow

    The best boaster in the history of hip hop brags his way through four minutes of fire in this punchline after punchline underground classic. Rise is know for his quick hitting battle raps and doesn't disappoint on this track. Produced by the Demigodz very own, Apathy, this is a great display of production and lyrics from the duo.

    BWBC: Song Breakdown #1: Apathy- The Big Hurt

    We talk about one of the 485 songs on Apathy's Album 'It's the bootleg MothaFu*kas'. A lyrically dense song that showcases some of the finest lyricist from the underground in the late 90's. Wordsworth, Punchline, Apathy, Gaston and Wiseguy put together this brilliantly boastful track aimed at showcasing their vocabulary and unique flow.

    BWBC# 25: Brother Ali- Shadows on the Sun

    We take you through the second studio album from Brother Ali. Fully produced by Ant from Atmosphere and features from Slug as well. Brother Ali's ability to tell stories through his rhymes and bring you into his world is as good as anyone to ever do it. He is truly one of the greatest emcees of the early 2000's and needs more credit than he receives.

    #24: Last Emperor - The Legend of Bigfoot

    An album that never happened. The Last Emperor was an incredibly talented artist rising through the hip hop scene in the late 90's early 2000's know for his artistic and unique story telling ability. After signing with Dr. Dre's aftermath and never having an album release he was signed to Rawkus records where his fate was the same. Perhaps lost in the mix of Eminem and Blackstar this underground hero never got his time to shine. This compilation of unreleased tracks is one of BWBC favorite albums of all time because of it's unique and raw sound. Enjoy listening to and watching a truly great emcee that unfortunately not too many got to hear.

    Episode #22: Special Ed - Revelations

    The third installment from the Brooklyn native and biggest commercial success since 'I got it Made' in 1989. Revelations is filled with boasts and brags about his lyrical superiority. The Beef with Blue cheese crew had some with the irony of those assertions. The at the time 23 year old was not the lyrical genius he proposed to be, but this album was still a fun listen.

    Episode #21: A Tribe Called Quest- Low end Theory

    "Microphone Check one two what is this". A line and an album that influenced a generation of early hip hop fans in the 90's. From 'Butter' to 'Scenario' this album has it all. Heavily influenced by jazz, funk and early hip hop the group of Q-Tip and Phife Dawg was a mainstay in 90's and early 2000's hip hop until their break up. With the sudden death of Phife in 2015 the appreciation for what the group has heightened. Busta Rhymes made his appearance on 'Scenario' matter when he stole the show and made a name for himself on the rap scene. Walk through one of the greatest albums of all time with us.
