The Vault: Classic Music Reviews Podcast

The Get Rich or Die Tryin’ episode had me reminiscing about going to Miami in college and every club playing the whole album and celebrating my birthday with In the Club playing in the background.

Loved this episode so much because I am probably not the only person who smiles when they hear one of his songs. I loved how the hosts broke down why Pun is still missed because his appeal was wide and his talent had depth. And they certainly could do a whole show on his Norable Quotables.

Listening to this podcast is like a breath of fresh air to a hip hop head. It brings a reminiscent vibe along with in-depth analysis of the culture. The hosts provide unique perspectives in dialogue that gives the episodes a natural ebb and flow. This isn’t a podcast with guys talking about rap. Socio-economic factors, historical impacts, and other topics are discussed explaining why these albums are considered classic.

I listened to Brian’s “Eric B & Rakim” episode. Even though I’m much older than the host, I never got into this legendary duo. I appreciated the passion, knowledge provided, and personal opinions Brian brought to this episode. He just earned a new subscriber in me.
