Tribute to Lauryn Hill's "Unplugged"
Listen now
Description
If you’ve been rocking with us for a while, you’ve probably heard us talk about how much we all respect Lauryn Hill’s “Unplugged” album. Well, we finally give it space on a full episode. We discuss the reasons we appreciate it (5:18), the difficulties of labeling it solely as a hip hop album (48:40), the reasons we believe it’s not usually mentioned with the rest of her catalogue (1:04:30) and much more! We also pay respects to all those we lost since the last time we recorded: Little Richard, Andre Harrell, and Ahmaud Arbery. On a lighter note, Dev finally hooked us with a new instrumental for the intro! You'll also notice we're waaaay more chill this episode than we've been in a while. Good vibes only..or almost only. Press play, enjoy, and then give us your thoughts! #PullUpAChair
