If you have a love for Black American Music and it’s many forms, you should be listening to this. Great mix of knowledge, humor, and philosophy about multiple eras of music, with clever ways of approaching it all. Much love.

J Dilla, as the Music Snobs said, has had an influence on how we perceive timing in music. In terms of his influence (admittedly, I don’t have hip hop music knowledge, really) I feel that many people miss what Dilla’s influence should have been in that people stopped training with metronomes. Dilla always had music that had a different concept of feel or rhythm or groove… but! Somebody (some instrument, some sample, some entity or somebody) has to be playing ‘in time’. People try to be Dilla before they can play in time with a metronome. I am only now learning to be able to play with a metronome. So I can’t call anybody out. But the capacity to lock in a groove is essential, and I wonder if people try to sound like Dilla doing altered time before they know how to play a quarter note. Or a half note. Or a dotted eighth. I say all of that to say— he was influential, maybe the most influential— giving people a new concept of rhythm that I do hear in other genres. But sort of like people try to become Jordan before they have fundamentals down, I wonder if modern musicians (myself included… before I started playing with a metronome) have tried to skip steps because they followed a genius before they learned simple (not to say easy) things.
Much Better Than NPR

Music Snobs Show is without a doubt one of my favorite all music, mainly Black, music program. Only wish this program comes on weekly. As an avid music lover, their episode is worth waiting for.
My first review in years

I almost never remember to do a review for a podcast m but came here because of how good these guys are. I wish the episodes were more frequent but it’s understandable that it requires a lot of time to put together with everyone’s schedule. Anyways, hope you guys keep putting stuff out.
This podcast is always such a treat.

I really appreciate the thought and effort you all put into every episode. Your takes are always honest, and come from a place of being music fans first. I love the chemistry you all have with one another. It may not come frequently, but always a must listen as soon as I see in my feed.
Amazing Podcast

I absolutely love this podcast. The crew supplies deep and considered thought on music. I am a fan of most genres and learn something on each episode. For example, I grew up hearing Stevie Wonder my entire life but realized I had not really given him a deep listen. The Stevie Wonder episode made me go back and listen to the albums referenced which further confirms Stevie in the genius category. Thanks for the back stories fellows. Keep it coming!
So enjoy you guys

Thought provoking content at a time when a lot of podcast are just fluff. Keep the deep yet fun analysis coming. Oh, and provide some good music leads. That’s always appreciated.
