Customer Reviews
The Lox
You can tell that with the Lox interview there was a-lot of meat left on that bone. 35 minutes just wasn’t enough. Maybe it was edited or he focused on the album so much that he couldn't get answers about the natural disagreements on the albums
Great choice of guests!
I’m glad I found this show! Good choice of guests. Takes you back to the foundations of hip hop!
