Episode 007 - Cosmo Baker pt. 1 ARD: Awesomely Righteous Dudes

Here's part one of our conversation with Philly DJ legend Cosmo Baker (Remedy, The Rub); we ended up going really long but thought it was a great convo so we're posting this all up in two parts (part 2 will be posted on Wednesday). Topics include Wesley Snipes conspiracy theories, the BBQ Beat genre coined by Cosmo and the good/bad/ugly of other retronyms like boogie and yacht rock, verification on Joyner Lucas crappiness, 80s music movies, theme parties and how they're not all bad but kinda mostly are, Knight Rider, divorce rock and post-divorce rock, children's TV shows and their lasting impact, early 90s underground hip hop culture and playing Clipse for snobby backpackers, overseas UK+NY drill rap collabs and New York making great rap again, the return of Jai Paul and some other new music we're feeling.

Here's a [mostly] complete listing of the artists and songs both played and mentioned throughout the episode: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2cQnIcEOjc140ATH9K3f7g?si=OM1zXvR2TWKQ9BPkQlY6Xg
