2024/03/07

This week's Dad Bod Rap Pod episode revolves around the under-discussed golden era rap group X Clan and contains an insightful interview with the group's leader, Brother J.

2024/02/29

Many times we have had guests that we consider to be proverbial brothers, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time we have interviewed literal siblings. Of course we're referring to Brooklyn's finest, the production duo of DJ Evil Dee and Mr. Walt, collectively known as Da Beatminerz. This was a great conversation, as the hilarious, gregarious brothers have been involved in so many classic hip-hop moments and releases. We get deep on Soundbombing, Smif N Wessun, the division of labor among the

Episode 291- Back To School with guest Schoolly D

Dad Bod Rap Pod ·

2024/02/22

It's quite rare for us to be able to talk to a true pioneer in the rap game, especially one so vital and engaged as the legendary Schoolly D. We were able to get some time with the literal father of gangster rap to talk about his self-drawn album art, his influence on the genre, his work in TV, his diet, and so much more. DBRP hosts David Ma, Nate LeBlanc and Demone Carter have been longtime fans of Schoolly's work and have referenced his seminal tracks (and the Edan song "Schoolly D Knew The Time")

2024/02/15

Dad Bod Rap Pod is back after our brief winter break. This week we have a great interview with returning guest Bruiser Wolf. Since bursting onto the scene as part of Danny Brown's Bruiser Brigade a few years ago, Wolf has carved out a unique lane for himself with a lilting, melodic flow comprised of off kilter couplets and observational wordplay that can skew either funny, enlightening, or devastating. His last record, Dope Game Stupid, is a cult classic and a favorite of ours, something we often

2023/12/14

With this being the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop and all the bros figured it was time to put together a Top 50 list of some sort. In lieu of talking about the same amazing but over-discussed rap songs/albums they thought it would be cool to list the top 50 songs that make up the DBRP aesthetic. Because 6th years in Dad Bod Rap Pod has become a staple podcast with fans of a certain age and sensibility. This part one of two part jammy jam. Happy 50th to Hip Hop and long live Dad Bod Rap Pod!

but when it come to nights like this.... To conclude the 93' Retro series the bros talk about arguably the most perfect rap album of all-time A Tribe Called Quest's Midnight Marauders.

Nate, Dave, and DEM talk about their favorite joints from this nocturnal masterpiece. In a year where rap music delivered several classic album Midnight Marauders still stands alone. If you

DBRP RETRO: NO NEED FOR ALARM

Dad Bod Rap Pod ·

2023/11/30

This is a dedication to you wack emcees...... Del's second album, No Need For Alarm, was a departure of sorts from his debut LP, I Wish My Brother George Was Here. Eschewing the Ice Cube/George Clinton funk aesthetic, Del went deep into his backpack and pulled a record for the ages. The head of the Hiero Voltron launched a full-scale attack on inferior rappers over raw no-nonsense beats. This week, the bros reflect fondly on an album that lives in their collective DNA.

DBRP RETRO: Aquemini

2023/11/16

Outkast is perhaps Hip Hop's closest corollary to the Beatles. Their musical journey, commercial success, and geographic origins (the south got something to say) make them a one-of-one rap group. On this week's episode the bros take a walk down memory lane and dissect Outkast's 25 year old classic album Aquemini.

Wu Tang Aint Nuthin' to Fuck It! Have a song ever had truer title!? 30 years after its release Wu Tang Clan's Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) remains a musical achievement without parallel. The 9 man rap cartel ripped a hole in the fabric of Hip Hop space-time and delivered a masterpiece. Eschewing the polished rap sound for something more guttural and dangerous.

DBRP RETRO: Doggystyle

2023/10/12

If you weren't outside then, it's difficult to comprehend how highly anticipated Snoop Dog's first album was. In the era before the internet, the buzz surrounding Doggystyle could have powered a major metropolitan area. The Dr. Dre industrial complex had already delivered The Chronic a year earlier, so there was a notion that with rookie of the year from Long Beach in tow, Doggystyle would be one for the ages. Now, with 30 years of hindsight, we ask the following question: Is this a timeless record

Rather be co-dependent than co-defendants.... Armand Hammer's ascent to critical acclaim has neatly paralleled with the existence of this podcast. There is no causation of course but it has been fun to watch woods and E L U C I D's come up in real time. We have also had the privilege of talking to both artists during our 5+ year run.

Buckshot Shorty, 5 FT, and Evil Dee combined to create a dark and gritty album that spawned a visual aesthetic (two strap backpacks) and a sound that is still relevant today (lo-fi beats that you can study to) Was this a timeless album or an album of its time?

Freestyle Fellowship is not a rap group. They are a cohort of rap gods who descended from the mountains so that we might know the electric potential of rhyme. Inner City Griots, FF's second album, is a complex and challenging record that did not easily fit in any of the sub-genre boxes of its day. With 30 years of hindsight the bros take a look back Griots and ask the questions of all questions: Is this a timeless album or an album of its time?

Return of The Boom Bap means just that.... By the time 1993 rolled around KRS One was already a Hip Hop elder statesman. On Return of The Boom Bap the Blastmaster looks back over his career, wages verbal war on police, and makes a case for still being #1. But how has this album aged?
