Why didn't the Musk episodes follow the numbering conventions? The 9/11 and JFK specials did.

Hy Phy actually was coined by Dre, track 4 on Heart of a Gangsta featuring Keak Da Sneak.

Michael S. Judge

What does "hyphy" sound like? Simple: it sounds like the music you would play if your car was a schoolbus and you put it on hydraulics

Michael S. Judge

I don't know what the connection is, or how it originally started – maybe exclusion from the LA/NY/Atlanta triangle? – but the Bay and Kansas City have had deep hip-hop connections for a long time. Shared bills, guest verses, etc. When the Giants and Royals were in the World Series, you could see E-40 and Tech N9ne together in the front row every night.

Gordon Schmidt

I like these episodes where you bring on a reporter or someone who knows a lot about very particular events that aren't well-known and you just talk about them it. The Fort Bragg episode you did a little while back, for example, was really great

Lucas Marsh

Best song at the end

Hella thizz.

Tech 9 has a pretty good interview on YouTube about the whole thing

I'm confused- was Morrison's conclusion that the promoter ultimately put the hit out on Dre? I understood who the triggermen were, I just couldn't comprehend who called it.

Every time a guest is interviewed i get sucked into their twitter feeds and end up reading some fantastic article. I just read an article shitting all over gladwells new book bomber mafia. Damn shame these guys have 1000 followers while the biggest retards on the planet gets millions.

Speakin of ghost ridin, a couple weeks ago i was drinking with some friends in a park, and we saw a dude, on one of the small park roads, pop his shit in neutral and jump on top of the roof of the car and start rappin while he was taking a video of himself with a phone and a selfie stick, lawl

Ooooh do Pimp C next! (Never mind, don't, James Prince will kill us all.)

Thank you for this episode. Would love to see one on Matty Luv and Hickey.

Juan Sacchi

“She neva seen” is my favorite Mac Dre song

John

Same. Definitely id’d the shooters !!

john n lomax

Yeah and supposedly he thought Pimp had become too much of a loose cannon. Pimp’s mom thinks he was poisoned. The scenario I heard was that some dudes came in his hotel room and smothered him with pillows.

Nation of Thizzlam is in this bitch!

I feel like it’s worth mentioning that Lil B from “the pack” — a hyphy group — split off to do his own thing and created the based movement. And lil b is unquestionably in there for too 5 maybe top 3 most influential rappers of his era. 90% of SoundCloud rappers are direct descendants of lil B’s music. I know you guys are millennial indie heads and not zoomer SoundCloud rap fans. But among the scene his influence is undeniable. Just think it’s worth pointing out that the most influential rapper of our modern era was largely influenced by Mac Dre. He’s your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper’s favorite rapper

uya

There’s also a pretty big unspoken connection between Bay Area rap of the last 5-10 years and Detroit rap of the past 5-10 years. They’re definitely distinct but share much of The same musical “language” if you will. I’ve never been able to understand why especially considering they’re on opposite sides of the country —but could very well be similar to what you’re saying about the bay and Kansas City connection. Detroit has also been excluded from the NY/LA/ATL triangle

Chris Ryan

I listened to this while wearing my white t shirt, blue jeans and nikes

Chris Ryan

I find it so hard to believe that there’s no such thing as a Feelin Myself instrumental that isn’t sub karaoke machine level, Yung Chomsky help us out please. I can do it but yours will be so much better

Chris Ryan

I guess this is a fitting comment on a post that has a guest from passion Weiss. I mean sure “his grisly, growly grumble foresees the aftereffects of a particularly destructive quake… one yet to come.” *checks Venmo for the $40*

Can you do a john mcafee series?

The first NorCal wedding I went to after being a lifelong East Coaster about 2 years ago, the DJ played "Tell Me When To Go" and I couldn't believe how much everyone lost their shit to a song I had never heard before. It really feels like hip hop is maybe the last place that regional differences exist in popular music not only in the music itself but audience preferences.

Andres Rosero

Favorite hyphy song is Cupcake No Fillin x Trunk Boiz... this interview was decent, guest seemed nervous

Fellow bay boy here. Thank you for this episode TrealAnon. RIP FURLY

I feel so old when y’all talk about things that happened in the 90s but are like, “I don’t know exactly, because I was just a kid.” Ugh. Seriously though, I love you guys. I will never admit the number of times I may or may not have had to look up terms or references that go over my head, lol. (And I’m not even *that* much older than y’all, I just happen to live in a cave apparently.)

This was a genius episode as I was able to get my older brother who is mostly apolitical into this podcast >:)

It's so interesting how you are aggressively dodging the lab leak/bioweapons situation...it seems like you two would be all over this.

If COVID is a bioweapon, it's such a lame bioweapon... I'll care when someone releases the T-Virus or Lauder or Captain Trips or something.

Anonymous

Agreed that it isn't as deadly as Nipavirus, which the same people connected with lab leak are also talking about. But, hey, it's enough to completely change the world. Like 9/11.

calvin kilby

have you heard of the bofavirus leak from an alleged bioweapon research lab southeast of tel aviv?

turbinity

It's the kind of thing that the tendrils of US power would have so much vested interest in manipulating intelligence to make it "true," that there's too much risk of just repeating the CIA verbatim or some shit when reviewing it as a contemporary. Basically all of the "reporting" on Chinese government actions come from two near-admitted fascist dudes that the AP takes for granted for some reason.

Anonymous

Why are you assuming it’s from China? The earliest links are from Fort Detrick, just like the anthrax attacks after 9/11. Vaping illness was almost certainly COVID. Deaths from nursing homes near Fort Detrick in May 2019 (when it was forced to shut down) almost certainly COVID. They refused to test but symptoms were identical.

Papoose had a song on the Madden 06 soundtrack

I STILL wish I collected some of the Tech 9ine "Killer" posters after thousands and thousands of them were posted EVERYWHERE in kansas city (July 1 2008, excellent choice???!) then it rained overnight and they were all gnarled and re-dried.

Thanks for doing a very bay centered episode about one of the true gods of the bay area rap scene. I feel like every car ride I got to school in 2001-2002 Dre was always on.

Blake Patraw
