This show concept for this week's rap podcast basically came up when Ike Eyes sent me a copy of the Propane Piff mixtape. Trust me, when you hear Ag shouting over the top of some old crack era S.O.S. band shit, you know you're in for an experience. If you're interested in scoring your own free copy, read the full post for details. Not only that, though, but there's a freestyle from my man Respect up in here, as well as an old Smoke and Numbers joint that y'all prolly ain't heard, either. Start the track and follow along...

Agallah - Whoop Ya Head f/ 50 Cent. Yes, the almighty Fiddy shows up on this joint, which makes sense if you know your history. Don't hate. If anyone somehow forgot that despite the Top 40 shit, 50 actually has bars, you're about to get reminded.

Switched it up on you. If you listen to nothing else this week, listen to this show. This show isn't full of bangers and straight up heat, it's full of fucking science. My man Kareem Edouard is working on a documentary (available for free online at wghfilms.com) right now that talks about the massive amount of people in Africa dying because of the diamond industry's stranglehold on the economy and political situation in various African nations - Sierra Leone isn't the only one. We're talking, for example, tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children - our brothers and sisters - being dismembered or murdered within the space of a few days. Listen through about three minutes of this conversation - you'll see what I'm talking about. What does this have to do with you? Well, if you've watched a rap video in the past 7 years, you've probably seen someone that is (probably unbeknownst to them) helping to fuel the conflict diamond trade. If you've already seen the documentary, this should provide some more information and background on what the production and whatnot are all about.
