Episode 27: Sean Price-Less

This year we said good bye to one of the greatest and most prolific MC's. Legendary Heltha Skeltah, Boot Camp Click and Duck Down Records phenom Sean Price (Ruck). S.E.A.N. left us too soon at age 43 but he didn't leave without leaving behind one of the deepest repertoires of any MC. Sean worked with more artists and producers than we can think of and had one of the most memorable flows in Hip Hop. This episode is our attempt at paying homage to a man who's contribution to the genre is Price-less. RIP Ruck Ruck.

of one of the most anticipated movies that has everyone talking about
gangsta rap- we figured we would jump in the conversation. The movie captures
one of the most important moments in west coast hip hop- hell, for hip hop as a
whole, and has helped many of us relive, reminisce and rediscover
some of our fav hip hop. So hey why not put together a Gangster Rap Primer for
the less initiated who were left craving more Reality Rap. We trace the roots of some of our fav Gansta/Reality.West Coast artist. Including introductions to some of the samples and sources to their musical inspirations.So throw on your
lokes, bandannas and Raider gear and lets ride.
