Alex, Mario and special guest Tyler Taldone get the new year Chica-going with the seminal, 2005 Chicago rap album, Be. The group discusses Kanye West and Common joining forces at the peak of their powers as well as Be's legacy of being easy to listen to and how it inspired them to get into the hip-hop genre (0:38). They share their favorite moments (14:26), and get into an unexpectedly heated conversation when discussing what's aged the worst (22:40). As the pod goes on, they discuss their favorite features (37:39), Be's album parents and children (46:32), and their unnecessary basketball comparisons (51:34). The group shares some interesting Apex Mountains and their favorite songs (57:12) before giving their classic/cult classic designations and their own personal ratings (1:03:59). Spoiler, it's a classic. Thanks again for checking it out!
