“Concept is dope. Execution is okay. It’s an ambitious podcast but when Big Mike is mentioned without discussing the convicts or his involvement with the geto boys or talking about coolio missing his time with the maad circle it can be maddening. Sound quality and editing is dope but later episodes seem rushed and the ranking is arbitrary. Reading a wiki bio makes it seem like the host is uneducated and as if they don’t have an understanding of the artist. The podcast sounds like someone who likes hip hop but wasn’t immersed in the culture during the time and doesn’t quite get it. Listening to a discography doesn’t make you an expert, and it sounds disingenuous when you’re making a hip hop podcast and have to educate yourself about public enemy. This is where it seems like the host wants to be educational and an expert and leaves you confused because they missed on both points.”
