    #1996 The Coming
    Mar 26 2026
    It's a limited episode series celebrating the year 1996! It's the 30th anniversary of many classic albums from that year and we chose twelve to "re-review!" It had been 3 years since Busta Rhymes was kicked out of the rap group, Leaders of the New School. With the competitive environment that was 1996, Busta was charged with laying the path for his solo career. Would he sink or swim was the question but we know the answer. His solo debut, "The Coming" was prophetic. Let's talk about it on this Member Exclusive Bonus Episode!

    #1996 Stakes is High
    Mar 13 2026
    It's a limited episode series celebrating the year 1996! It's the 30th anniversary of many classic albums from that year and we chose twelve to "re-review!" De La Soul thrived at a time when most old school rappers would of fell off. Not only did they drop a new album in the highly competitive year of 1996, they dropped one of the best. The trio stood tall on perserving the culture at a time when money and fame began to dictate what "real" hip-hop music was. Stakes is High is a landmark album in the career of a legendary hip-hop group, and one of the greatest albums of all-time! Let's talk about it!

  • #1996 The Score

    #1996 The Score
    Feb 13 2026
    It's a limited episode series celebrating the year 1996! It's the 30th anniversary of many classic albums from that year and we chose twelve to "re-review!" Fugees was a group that didn't benefit from a stellar debut like Columbia Records labelmate Nas. They could of easily faded away like other artist from the early 90s whose sound seemed stuck in a fun but brief era of East Coast hip-hop. Lucky for them, producer Salaam Remi's remix of the record "Vocab" was the sound/vibe that would clear the path for their incredible follow-up album, The Score. The competiton was thick in 1996 but the Fugees had a secret weapon. Lauryn Hill's fierce mic skills combined with her powerful and melodic voice gave the group an edge that would catapult them to success beyond the parameters of dope beats and bars. Let's talk about it!
