Take It Personal (Ep 149: A Tribute to Midnight Marauders)
On episode 149, we're honoring this 1993 musical masterpiece. This classic ATCQ album embodies everything that made us me fall in love with hip-hop. It was pure perfection. An absolute game changer and the album that helped usher in the 2nd golden era.
Like what we’ve recently done with Paul’s Boutique, we strip this album completely and build it back using original samples in true TIP fashion. We reproduce this classic that’ll allow you to hear this album in a whole new way.
Get ready to relive 1993 all over again.

Customer Reviews
The best Hip Hop related podcast, hands down.
I cannot say enough good things about these guys. The mixes are immaculate (thanks DJ360) and every episode is thoughtful and well put together. If you love 90s hip hop, this is your show. If you don’t know the 90s scene, this is the place to get educated. The interviews and the new music episodes are also on point.
A must have for any hip hop fan
Take it personal is one of the best hip hop podcasts on the planet. It reminds me of the college radio shows I grew up listening to religiously. The music selection is AMAZING, surprising and always bumping. The Mixing is impeccible and makes you rewind just to hear the beat blends. Best of all, it is clear that these guys are doing this out of pure love for the music. A MUST LISTEN for any hip hop fan.
Dope show
A show focus on the era that I grew up in, my favorite times in hip-hop. Well curated.
