    Take It Personal Flashback (The Remix Show)

    Remember the remix? Remember buying that cassette single because you needed that B-side featuring the new remix? Remember the remix that breathed new life into a track you had just started growing tired of? Remember hearing the debut of a new rapper on a remix? Remember splurging and buying that maxi-single because it had not just one remix, but two? And don't get me started on those unreleased B-side gems. That's a whole nother episode. The remix is a lost art today, but in the '90s, it meant something. Some remixes had different vocals. Some had completely different beats. Some were just flat-out better than the originals. And some remixes started, and even saved, careers for rappers and producers. Remember the first time you heard "On the Run"? What about that incredible "Stress" remix? Remember hearing Mos Def on the "Stakes Is High" remix? Episode 65 is the first installment of our Remix Series. Thanks to guys like Pete Rock, Marley Marl, DJ Premier, DJ Muggs, Salaam Remi, Large Pro, Da Beatminerz, Diamond D and Buckwild, to name a few, the remix became a staple of '90s hip-hop. We've got 68+ remixes on Episode 65 and we're just getting warmed up! At the break, the gang discusses the beauty of the remix. We pick our favorites from each set (3) and take you down music memory lane with stories mixed in with some unexpected hilarity. This is easily one of our best episodes, ever!   You’re listening to Take It Personal Radio — where hip-hop lives, legends are honored, and the music always speaks louder than words. 📸 Instagram: ⁠@takeitpersonalradio⁠ 🛒Store: ⁠takeitpersonalradio-shop.fourthwall.com⁠ 💖 Patreon: ⁠patreon.com/TakeItPersonal⁠  🎧 Listen on:  ⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts / iTunes⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠Amazon Music⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠Pandora⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠iHeartRadio⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠Player FM⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠Podchaser⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠Vevo YouTube Channel⁠⁠

    Take It Personal (Ep 186: Beef)

    On Episode 186 of Take It Personal Radio, we're diving headfirst into one of hip-hop's most compelling traditions: the beef record. We've assembled some of the greatest diss tracks and rivalries in rap history and woven them into one cinematic audio documentary. From Boogie Down Productions vs. MC Shan and LL Cool J vs. Kool Moe Dee, Hammer, Ice-T and Canibus to N.W.A vs. Ice Cube, Eazy-E vs. Dr. Dre, Nas vs. Jay-Z, and 2Pac vs. everybody, we explore the battles that shaped the culture. We also revisit clashes including Ice Cube vs. Cypress Hill, Ice Cube vs. Common, DJ Quik vs. MC Eiht, Uncle Luke vs. Dr. Dre, and more. There’s far too much history to cover in a single episode, but we do what TIP does best: deliver a carefully curated, immersive listening experience packed with legendary records, unforgettable moments, and the stories behind hip-hop’s most infamous feuds. Press play and experience the beefs that helped define rap music. At the break, we dissect these rap beefs. The good ones, the bad ones, even the embarrassing ones. And we have a bunch of giveaways as well thanks to Boundless Audio, Mike's Hot Honey, Homage, Get On Down Records, B-Side Buttons, Mr. Chico International and the Late Night Record Pool.   • Mike’s Hot Honey • B-Side Buttons — use code TIP25 for 25% off • Get On Down • Homage • Mr. Chico International • Boundless Audio • Late Night Record Pool — use code TIP10 for 10% off   You’re listening to Take It Personal Radio — where hip-hop lives, legends are honored, and the music always speaks louder than words.   📸 Instagram: ⁠⁠@takeitpersonalradio⁠⁠ 🛒Store: ⁠⁠takeitpersonalradio-shop.fourthwall.com⁠⁠ 💖 Patreon: ⁠⁠patreon.com/TakeItPersonal⁠⁠  🎧 Listen on:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts / iTunes⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon Music⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Pandora⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠iHeartRadio⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Player FM⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Podchaser⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠Vevo YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠
