Live From The Basement

LIVE from Criminal Records with KonsoleKingz in Atlanta, Georgia for the A3C Hip-Hop Festival, we brought a different kind of episode this week. Live interviews, Live freestyles, some great music, our special guest host Arablak and much more! Thanks to all our listeners who sent us down everyone who tuned and all the artists that came through for this special episode!

WE'RE SEVEN YEARS OLD!! Crazy! Thank you all for such an amazing ride this far! We made it a good one with Episode 187 we had Mola1 sitting in for our friend Phro this episode and discussed everything from the upcoming A3C festival episode on October 12, to our favorite crews in hip-hop. A3C Live episode October 12 at 4pm Eastern!

Special episode with two Detroit MCs sitting in with us. Ben Miles, MC from Of Mice and Musicians stop by to talk on the show and drop some of his music and Mola1 of The Definition came back to fill in for Phro. We decided to finally go in on this Illuminati discussion as well as a few other topics. Also, PLEASE support HoodHypes Road to A3C Hip-Hop Festival at http://hoodhype.com/donate !!

Our co-host Phro was finally back in the building this week as we reviewed Rick Ross - God Forgives, I Dont and debated it into the ground, why we even do Blend It or Bump It segment, we also had some great inside info about Havocs beef with Prodigy from a listener, and more. Great great callers, great music and a whole lot a fun.

We had Mola1 back on the how, reviewed Nas - Life Is Good, talked old school video games and a ton more.

JMack takes you on a mini audio tour of the BringItBack Stage at the Vans Warped tour and the first stop of Big K.R.I.T.s Live From The Underground Tour with Big Sant, Coldmen Young, Jon Connor, Tito Lopez and Casey Veggies.

This week we had a special guest in the basement, Mola1 of The Definition talking and spittin some verses. We also completed the finale of HoodHypes Hip-Hop Fight Club and reviewed Killer Mike's R.A.P. Music with a surprise call-in from Killer Mike to debate the album.

Midwest bracket for the hip-hop fight club this episode. What we thought would be one of our easiest, was actually one of the toughest with the biggest upsets. Make sure you check that out! We also had Bumpy Knuckles and DJ Premier's new album The Kolexxxion on the chopping block for Blend it or Bump it.

Were all back and having a great time (thanks sweet baby Jesus). Tons of new music, Hip-Hop Fight Club West Coast went down and Obie Trices Bottom's Up was on the chopping block for Blend It or Bump It. Lets go!

What we thought the Trayvon Martin case would be a single topic we'd carry through the show and it ended up taking it completely over. The episode was full of heated debate and overrode any of the other segments, so we're releasing this as a "special episode" since this has never happened on the show before, as we're sure you'll hear. We were all in rare form and the episode was not your typical installment of the show. Everyone was extremely emotional and passionate about the topic so things go crazy at times. We're still recovering.

We kicked off HoodHypes Hip-Hop Fight Club 2012 with our East and Midwest selections, make sure you check back next episode for South and West Coast selections! We also had a great debate over Outkast's ATLiens album in Classic or Trash It? and a lot more!

Race was a huge topic this episode and we arent talkin NASCAR. Between the Red Tails movie, MLK Day and Phro being back to the show, it got really racial in the basement this episode, (no finish line). We also reviewed Commons The Dreamer, The Believer for Blend It or Bump It, visited the Common vs. Drake beef and much more. Lets go!

Its 2012 and were still here! This episode we took it back to 1998 and reviewed Jay-Zs Vol. 2 Hard Knock Life to see if it stood up to todays standards, we talked some politics and Red Lobster. Thats right... Red freakin Lobster. Oh and say I to Danny Doomsday too...

Wheres episode #156? Lost deep in the hood of the Internet. It was a special episode, but its gone. If we find it, please believe it will be posted and your iPod will download it. Now, onward to episode #157. Its our end of year special episode where we compile a bunch of Top lists for all of our favorite things of year! That and a lot more! Peep the extended notes to get all the Top 10 run downs!

Herman Cain wasnt the only one acting scandalous this episode. Everything from childhood television shows to Michael Jackson's doctors jail time was fair game in episode 154. Also includes some interviews Phro had with Mr. Porter and Trick Trick at the Redbull Emsee challenge in Detroit! Enjoy!

Our first show on location and we did it up big hosting the KonsoleKingz Gaming Lounge LIVE at the A3C Independent Hip-Hop Festival! A constant flow of interviews, convo and music in one of our biggest shows to date! Enjoy!

Talked about the Mayweather vs Ortiz fight, Fabolous vs. Ray J, the late Troy Davis vs. The Legal System and Jayo Felony vs. Fox News. We had J.Cole on the chopping block for blend it or bump it and some tasty caramel vodka in the stash box this week too!

Discussing everything from the 15th anniversary of 2Pacs death to Floyd Mayweather vs. Victor Ortiz and the boys top 5 white girls in the game plus a whole lot of hot new music and more.

Weezys Jeggings and HoodHype's Road to A3C were the talk of the show among other things like the VMAs the Stash Box and the Lil Waynes Carter IV was on the chopping block!
