Podcast about all things hip-hop: MCs, DJs, B-Boys, Graffiti.
Why listen
The Hip-Hop Talk Show is a time-capsule hangout for listeners who like hip-hop talk with personality, jokes, and messy 2011 internet culture baked in. Pumice and Frank move through rap news, mixtapes, DJ culture, pop-culture tangents, and occasional live mixes, so it feels less like formal criticism and more like sitting in on a funny record-store argument. It is best for listeners who enjoy opinionated hip-hop conversation and want the era of Drake, Waka Flocka, Young Jeezy, blogs, torrents, and mixtapes captured in real time.

On July 12, 2011, we recorded an episode that would have been Episode 29, but we’re not going to release it. In addition to being plagued by equipment malfunctions, we just weren’t having a good night in the studio. So, we now present the official Episode 29, recorded five months later, on December 5, 2011. We kept referring to this as the first episode of Season 2, but to keep with what seems to be a standard for podcasting, we’re foregoing the seasonal naming and making this the official Episode 29. In this episode Matthew Barnaby (ESPN / Buffalo Sabres) arrested again Texts from Bennett Mac Lethal – “Look at Me Now” Kanye & Jay Z – “Watch the Throne” Drake – “Take Care” Mac Miller – “Blue Slide Park”
