Episode 46: The Soundtrack To Your Life
Manage episode 328920019 series 3249335
With the release of Mr. Morales and The Big Steppers, Kendrick Lamar has reinvigorated our interest in the Hip Hop scene. So, we take a stroll down memory lane, exploring some of the most classic and iconic Hip Hop albums to shape our teenage years. Illmatic, Take care, and a whole lot of other albums come up in the intro. After that, we begin a discussion on Kendrick's album, and it somehow leads us to an ethical debate on censorship, freedom of speech, and the future of society. The question: should he be allowed to say "F*ggot", as he did on Auntie diaries? Should anybody be?
The conversation continues onto another key element of Hip Hop culture: prison. With 21 Savage, Meek Mill, 6ix 9ine, Dave, Freddie Gibbs and a whole host of other popular rappers having faced jail time, the CMP Chiefs explore whether it's a matter of young black rappers being targeted or dangling food in a lion's mouth.
Featuring Pocket Muscle by Bands on the intro and Stuck in The Mud by Dinho on the outro, this episode is a chilled, laid-back listen from beginning to end. Hope you enjoy!
