EP16 - The Hip-Hop Monstars: Hit ‘Em High (B-Real, Coolio, Method Man, LL Cool J & Busta Rhymes)

***EDITOR’S NOTE***

This episode originally aired on YouTube on March 25th 2024.  We’re going to be catching up to our current episode soon here Corner Stoners!  The big take aways from this particular show, dedicated to Hit ‘Em High by The Hip-Hop Monstars, is this is the first episode we did that was on a large (not already a group) posse cut. It’s the first song released on an original motion picture soundtrack.  It’s the first song we’ve covered inspired by cartoons (as well as sports!). It’s the first one where we couldn’t produce a proper playlist on Spotify because the song and most of the soundtrack isn’t available on that platform.  We had a blast with this one though and we hope you all enjoy it as well.  Leave a comment and let us know what posse cut we should cover next on Remember The Record!

One Love,

- The RTR Crew
