We could write-up a colorful description to entice you to listen, but we’re talking about Redman.   If you know how Take It Personal does interviews, you know we cover just about everything.

On episode 148, we're teleporting back to 1995. If you had a 5-disc CD changer in the whip, chances are you had Dah Shinin' in one of those slots.   Tek and Steele announced their presence with authority on Enta da Stage in '93, then dropped the classic Bucktown b/w Let's Git It On single in early '94, which had everyone patiently waiting for their album.  In January '95, the wait was over and Dah Shinin' immediately became a favor...

On episode 149, we're honoring this 1993 musical masterpiece. This classic ATCQ album embodies everything that made us me fall in love with hip-hop. It was pure perfection. An absolute game changer and the album that helped usher in the 2nd golden era. Like what we’ve recently done with Paul’s Boutique, we strip this album completely and build it back using original samples in true TIP fashion. We reproduce this classic that’ll all...

    Every once in a while, an interview turns more into a conversation amongst rap dudes. We anticipated having Rapper Big Pooh and Phonte for just 45 minutes, so when I tell you the interview lasted 2 hours and 30 minutes, it tells you just how funny and relatable these guys are to talk to. We covered an awful lot, yet it wasn't nearly enough once it was over. We discuss the May the Lord Watch documentary, their love for Beck or Bjo...
