    Take It Personal Flashback (Ode To 1992)

    On today's flashback episode, we're hitting you with our '92 celebration,  and we couldn't think of a better way to pay homage than with the legendary Sports Illustrated cover featuring the '92 Dream Team. Episode 89 is an appetizer, as we take a quick-trip down memory lane before making a hard stop on one of the greatest years hip-hop. Instead of feeding you the played-out '92 classics, we focus on the deep album cuts and some of our more obscure favorites of '92. We've got music from Positive K, Diamond D, Grand Puba, Too $hort, MC Serch, Compton's Most Wanted, Paris, Heavy D, Gang Starr, Above The Law, X-Clan, Ultramagnetic MC's and DJ Quik to name a few. At the break, we reminisce over '92, discuss some of our favorite albums, share some fond memories and give you the ultimate 1992 time capsule as we cover sports, movies and music.

    Take It Personal (Ep 182: Bob Power, You There?)

    On Episode 182 of Take It Personal Radio, we pay homage to the late, great Bob Power. More than an engineer, Bob was an architect of sound — helping shape the standard in hip-hop.   From A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, Common, to De La Soul, his legacy is woven into the culture. This episode is dedicated to that legacy.   At the break: we dive into Bob’s catalog, announce our Get On Down giveaway winners, and pay respects to another fallen soldier, Lord Sear.   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 181: M-E-T-H-O-D to Our Madness)

    On Episode 181 of Take It Personal Radio, we’re doing something a little different. After 10 years and more than 180 shows, you’ve got to get a little creative. So we put together two remarkable mixes with one common theme: Method Man. These aren’t all songs that feature Method Man (although there are a few of those in here). Instead, these are joints that sample Method Man. And since there are so many great ones out there, we thought it would be a really cool idea to gather them all up and dedicate an entire episode to them. We’ve got music from Shyheim, Ras Kass, E.C. Illa, Frankie Cutlass, Keith Murray, The Beatnuts, Artifacts, Lords of the Underground, Gang Starr, Apathy, Homeliss Derilek, 13, Kane & Abel, MF Grimm, Marley Marl, The Whoridas, Naughty By Nature and so much more. At the break, we also talk about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees for the 2026 induction — who truly belongs, who doesn’t, and who gets our vote.

    Take It Personal Flashback (A Tribute to Mafioso Rap)

    Flashback to episode 83, our Tribute to "Mafioso" Rap. We thought it would be fun to incorporate some of our favorite Sopranos scenes throughout this show to properly pay respects to the lost and limited art of "true" mafioso rap. There is only one Godfather and that is Kool G. Rap, so, naturally Episode 83 is laced with plenty of his best mafia influenced tracks, but we also show love to mid-90s where lyricists like AZ, Jay-Z, Nas, Big Pun, Fat Joe, The Lox, Biggie and Raekwon did the sub-genre the best.   Plus, the crew joins Johnny Calzone in a wiseguy version of name that tune. Crack open a bottle of red, razor slice your garlic, grab some gabagool and remember, leave the guns, take the cannoli's.   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
