Remember The Record

EP19 - dead prez: Hip-Hop

This episode originally aired on YouTube on June 21st 2024 - We’re almost caught up with all the episodes to date y’all!  As we planned to make the transition to audio focused streaming platforms, the dead prez “Hip-Hop” episode saw us trying to elevate the audio quality with proper mic set ups.  We ran into a lot of problems with this set up.  The mic’s sound never came in properly through our setup.  Kalashnikov Red’s mic was way lower than Johnny Warbux’s and during the break down of our setup, we broke one of the connectors for the mic stand (and ripping a hole into our branded table cloth to boot).  The transition proved difficult but we navigated through it to bring you a dope episode about a group, a song and an album we feel is a must listen to for anybody who considers themselves a hip-hop fan.  So we hope you enjoy the episode and ask for any all feedback you can give us.  Please like, subscribe, follow, rate and review the show on your favorite streaming platforms and ask that you share this episode with other Hip-Hop heads in your life!
One Love,
- The RTR Crew

EP18 - 2Pac: Dear Mama

This episode originally aired on YouTube on May 6th 2024.  Another thematic episode, we released the 2Pac “Dear Mama” show the week leading up to Mother’s Day and it was the second one of two back to back recordings we did.  Like the previous episode, we noticed this show had a handful of video glitches, freezing our images up, after its release.  It was the catalyst that sparked our decision to focus our energy on audio only formats.  We’ll still be releasing our video episodes on our YouTube channel, we’re just eliminating all of the editing where we apply pictures to the show and are redirecting the time it takes to do that to record back to back episodes so we can deliver our fans more content in a more interactive way.  The format will slightly change so we can include comments from our fans and listeners.  To be a part of the show, follow us on our new InstaGram page @RememberTheRecord and follow us on FaceBook at The Rapper’s Corner.  We wrapped up on the two final shows that were done in this original format and will release those two episodes over the next two weeks.  Please like, comment, subscribe, rate, review & follow us on all social media platforms to help us continue to build this community.  We look forward to interacting with and getting to know our listeners a little better in the near future and thank you to all of those who’ve been rocking with us from day one!  We can’t wait to bring you even more content than ever and hope y’all enjoy the show!
One Love,

EP17 - Kris Kross: Jump

This episode originally aired on YouTube on April 29th 2024.  The Kris Kross “Jump” episode was the show that lead us to pivoting to audio focused platforms.  For reasons outside of the pod, Kalashnikov Red & Johnny Warbux, agreed to make two episodes back to back in a single day.  That’s set up, recording, breaks, editing and rewatching the entire shows to locate time stamps for photos, etc.  it became an all day affair.  On top of that, both videos had glitches in them and we couldn’t edit them after the fact without compromising our audio integrity.  So this was when we decided to make our switch.  Also, we had issues with our host cleaning up the audio for this specific episode and ended up having to post the raw audio rip from YouTube.  Let us know how it sounds!  We hope you enjoy this light hearted and funny episode.  You will hear it when you hear this, but, we were really having fun recording this one.  Thanks to everyone who are rocking with us during these growing pains.  We appreciate all of y’all!
One Love,

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,

EP15 - Psycho Realm: Love From The Sick Side

***EDITOR’S NOTES***
This episode originally aired on YouTube on February 14th 2024.  Keeping up with our thematic traditions we ran with a new Valentine’s Day inspired record.  Last year we went with a falling in love / having a crush theme so this time around we wanted to review a record that supports the opposite side of the coin, the heart ache, love sick side.  Psycho Realm’s “Love From The Sick Side” gives us not only that, but a chance to cover a group that wasn’t on that mega star level, reminding our listeners that we will cover any Hip-Hop or rap music adjacent song, regardless of commercial success so long as we like the music or think it would make for a good episode.  As always, we ask that you hit the like button, follow our podcast, leave a comment and review of the show and share this with other Hip-Hop heads in your life.  Thanks again for the continued support from our listeners and we plan to repay y’all by getting you involved in future episodes soon!
 
One Love,

EP14 - Black Knights of the North Star: Fatal Sting

***EDITOR’S NOTES***this episode first released on YouTube on January 10th 2024.  This marks the swcond installment to our annual Happy Wu Year episodes.  We decided to branch out from the main line up and give one of our favorite, more underground, jams a try.  This opened the gates to consider future not quite as mainstream as other artist we’ve highlighted on the show.  But this one is very funny and filled with lots of jewels about the song and the album its feature on, The Swarm.  By the end of our first quarter, one of the artists from the group, Christ Bearer, heard snippets of the review and shared props and tagged others into the posts.  It was super legit as we’ve been listening to him and his crew for quite some time!  As always, please like, subscribe, follow, comment and review our podcast then share it with other Hip-Hop heads in your life!  One Love,

EP13 - Nas: Shoot ‘Em Up

***EDITOR’S NOTES***
This episode originally aired on YouTube on December 13th 2023.  Another holiday inspired episode for Remember The Record with Christmas right around the corner we decided to go with the Carol of the Bells flow inspired Shoot ‘Em Up by Nas.  This marks the first episode where we switched locations from Johnny Warbux’s spot to Kalashnikov Red’s to enhance the visual aesthetic of the show and for ease of Johnny’s family as well.  We fix the audio levels of the musical backdrop this go round and continue trying to enhance the quality of the listening experience.  We hope y’all enjoy the show and as usual, ask that you follow, rank & review our show as well as share it with other Hip-Hop heads in your life.

…Nas' Nastradamus: Revisited and Revived…
Welcome back, Corner Stoners! In our 13th installment of Remember the Record, Johnny Warbux and Kalashnikov Red dive deep into Nas' often overlooked album, Nastradamus, released on November 23, 1999. This episode is all about the hidden gem, "Shoot Em Up," a track that blends gangsta vibes with a surprising Christmas carol twist.
But before we get to the main event, Red and Johnny share their current musical obsessions, from lo-fi beats by Lonely Boy to Chicago's hip-hop scene. They also reminisce about the impact of Napster and the bootlegging era on Nas' career.
Join us as we dissect the lyrics, production, and cultural significance of "Shoot Em Up." We'll also explore Nas' broader discography, debating his top singles and deep cuts, and even imagining what could have been with collaborations like The Firm and Group Therapy. This episode is a must-listen for any Nas fan or hip-hop aficionado looking to appreciate the complexities and evolution of one of the greatest MCs of all time.

EP12 - Funkdoobiest: Rock On

***EDITOR’S NOTES***
This episode originally aired on YouTube on November 7th, 2023.   Another seasonally thematic episode, in honor of both Kalashnikov’s indigenous roots and November being American Indian Heritage Month, we agreed to do an episode on Funkdoobiest and their west coast classic “Rock On”.  This would be considered our first episode diving into a song that isn’t as widely popular on the mainstream circuit and would be more par for the course for several episodes until later in the first quarter of 2024.  Also, as we had just recently starting backdrop music to the show, we acknowledged that the instrumental was a touch too loud on the episode and moving forward made a permanent adjustment to the volume so it was easier to listen to us speak on the topic for future episodes.  We hope you enjoy this deep cut episode and continue to follow us along the development of the show as changes continue to grow in the next few episodes to come.
 
One Love,

EP11 - The Geto Boys: Mind Playing Tricks On Me

***EDITOR’S NOTES***
This episode first aired on YouTube on October 9th 2023.  Another seasonal themed episode, we chose this record as it ties into the Halloween theme.  It took a long time coming, but we now officially released original show notes for each episode from here on out.  We started leaning much more heavily into photos for the YouTube video at this point so you’ll hear a lot of references to that.  Lastly, we took time out of this show to speak on mental health as the subject matter ties into the song, the artists behind it and the season we released the episode.  We hope you enjoy the look back on this iconic Hip-Hop record and once again, if you’ve been enjoying our content and would like to hear more, we ask that you help us out and like, subscribe, rate & review the show & episode.  Please follow us on IG as well as on YouTube.  Lastly, help support the show by spreading its gospel by sharing it with other Hip-Hop heads in your life.  Thank you to those of you who have been rocking with us from the beginning and if you’re new here, welcome to the show.  Do you Remember the Record?

…Minds Playing Tricks on Us: A Deep Dive into The Geto Boys' Classic…
Welcome to the 11th installment of "Remember the Record" with your hosts Johnny Warbux and Kalashnikov Red. In this October special, we dive into the iconic track "Minds Playing Tricks on Me" by The Geto Boys, first released on July 1, 1991. Join us as we explore the song's history, its impact on hip-hop, and the legacy of The Geto Boys.
We begin with a moment of silence for DJ Ready Red and Bushwick Bill, paying homage to their contributions to the group and the music industry. The episode also includes a heartfelt shoutout to Krayzie Bone, who at the time of this original recording, was fighting for his life, sending continued prayers and positive vibes his way.
 
As we reminisce about The Geto Boys, we delve into the group's origins, lineup changes, and the creation of their unique sound. The episode highlights the significance of "Mind Playing Tricks on Me," its production by Scarface, and the song's themes of mental health, paranoia, and depression.
 
We also discuss the song's cultural impact, its chart success, and its role in shaping the horrorcore subgenre. The music video, with its gritty, low-fi aesthetic, is analyzed for its visual representation of the song's lyrics, adding another layer to its storytelling.
Whether you're a longtime fan or new to The Geto Boys, this episode offers a comprehensive look at one of hip-hop's most influential tracks. Tune in and join the conversation as we Remember The Recoed that continues to resonate with listeners to this day.

EP10 - DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince: Summertime

***EDITOR’S NOTES***
This episode originally aired on YouTube on September 8th 2023.  At this point in our show we created a multiple 8.0-8.4 series that isn’t complete by the time of this stream release.  We’ll revisit it in the new year.  We also finally corrected the episode listings here by titling it episode 10.  Our first episode (currently only available on YouTube) was marked as a Pilot, however, Johnny Warbux kept referring to each episode as an installment so episode 1 was our 2nd installment and so on.  We finally just corrected this on all fronts to match all releases.  So it may look like we’ve skipped an episode here, but the reality is, we just matched the installment number with the release number.  This is the first episode where we began releasing a short description of the video on YouTube as well as promotional hashtags and time stamps!  This episode was also controversially released around the time that the “slap heard around the world” occurred between Will Smith and Chris Rock.  We wanted to do an end of summer song where we could tie in the fall season ahead and The Fresh Prince’s catalog was perfect for that transition as we explain in the show.  We hope you enjoy the show for what it is focused on, the love of this song and the musical legacy/impact this record had/has on the globe.  Once again, please rate and review this show on whatever streaming platform you’re enjoying it on and share it with other Hip-Hop heads you know in your life.
