DBRP CLASSIC: HIP HOP 50 w/Roxanne Shante & Easy AD

Happy Born Day Hip Hop!

How do we celebrate the culture that has given us so much over the past 50 years? By sharing two interview with true Hip Hop pioneers.

Over our 250+ episode run we have had the privilege of talking with many Hip Hop legends none more important than Roxanne Shante and Easy AD (of the Cold Crush Brothers). Despite being a global cultural and economic phenomenon, Hip Hop is still criminally under-documented (especially the era before people were making shit tons of money off rap music). That's why we are proud to present this week's episode which features excerpts from DBRP Classic interviews with two true Hip Hop pioneers.

In the first segment, we flash back to our Roxanne Shante interview from 2018 as she prepared for the release of her Netflix biopic. She described her incredible ascent to the top of the rap world and her struggles with misogyny in Hip Hop. Part two of this birthday bash features an excerpt from an interview we did with Cold Crush Brother Easy AD. He touches on the park jam era and whether the Cold Crush has been properly celebrated for their contributions to the culture. Hip Hop has been very very good to us. Here's to 50 more years!
