Ep. 90
•
35 years ago, on October 7, 1990, LL Cool J took to the streets of New York to find his “Around The Way Girl.” On this episode, we’re having a quick conversation about the video, and discuss who our favorite “Around The Way Girl” is, past and present.
We’re also dropping a new shirt to go along with this episode. You can get it and more at our shop, Nuthin’ But A Tee Thang, at teethang.com.

94. Jermaine Dupri: Welcome To Atlanta
52:55||Ep. 94In this episode, we’re getting into someone whose career spans across hip-hop, R&B and pop music. He helped to bring Atlanta and southern culture to the forefront at a time when people weren’t really checking for it. *Jermaine voice* “Y’all know what this is!”93. The Soundtrack To Our Lives
53:00||Ep. 93This week we're talking about some of our favorite movie soundtracks. The ones we liked, the ones we loved and the ones that were better than the movies that they were made for. Soundtracks used to be a real companion piece to new movie releases. New artists were launched, established artists dropped some of their best songs, and big name producers gave us their best work, not just a bunch of leftover tracks. The best soundtracks could stand on their own, they lived on much longer than the movie that it was attached to did. Especially if it was BETTER than the movie.92. Dirty Mackin'
36:54||Ep. 92This week we are discussing the dirty macks of R&B and Hip Hop. We get into the songs that we all know and love, "All The Things Your Man Won't Do" by Joe, "Hey Lover" by LL Cool J, "I Can You Love You" by Mary J. Blige, “You’re The One” by SWV and there were some shocking ones that made the cut as well, we see you, Gladys Knight. We also debate who the second best worst dirty mack of all time is, LL Cool J or Joe.91. Lucy Pearl: Dance Tonight
24:45||Ep. 91Lucy Pearl came in fast and hot like a comet, and kinda burned out like one too. But in that brief moment in time, Raphael Saadiq from Tony, Toni, Toné, Dawn Robinson from En Vogue and Ali Shaheed Muhammad from A Tribe Called Quest came together to give us one of the greatest R&B albums ever, and that’s what we’re digging into in this episode. Quick note: This episode was recorded prior to the passing of D’Angelo, so you’ll hear us mention him in the present tense a few times. RIP to one of the greatest to ever do it.89. One Hit Wonder?: Montell Jordan (Remix)
34:49||Ep. 89Originally released in December 2021, here’s another episode that we think hasn't gotten enough attention. It's another one of our "One Hit Wonder?" episodes, and this time we're digging into the career of Montell Jordan. A lot of people have written him off as a one hit wonder because of "This Is How We Do It," but around these parts, we know better. Join us as we get into some of our favorite Montell jams and discuss the insanity of the "Get It On Tonite" video.For more episodes, head to our website, troypodcast.com.88. One Hit Wonder?: Sir Mix-A-Lot (Remix)
29:35||Ep. 88Originally released in November 2021, here’s another episode that we’ve taken from the vault and remixed. We're taking a look at the career of Sir Mix-A-Lot, and discussing whether or not he has been unfairly stamped as a one hit wonder, due to the massive popularity of "Baby Got Back." Around these parts, we don’t consider him a one hit wonder, and feel that his contributions to hip-hop exclude him from this label. *Turns up “Posse On Broadway” to ignorant levels*87. Let It Be Known Then!: The 1995 Source Awards (Remix)
49:15||Ep. 87In honor of today being the 30th anniversary the original airing, we’re revisiting one of our early episodes, where we reviewed the controversial 1995 Source Awards. The show itself became secondary to the many explosive moments that happened on stage. From the so-called east coast/west coast rivalries playing out in front of the world, to Andre 3000 lighting the fuse that helped take southern hip-hop to the next level. This show had something for everybody.If you would like to actually watch the ’95 Source Awards, hit the link below for our newsletter, Liner Notes. We put it in our most recent post from Friday.86. Tupac Shakur: Poetic Justice
55:27||Ep. 86In our last episode, we broke down the music of 2Pac, now we're flipping the script (see what we did there?) and diving into the film career of Tupac Shakur. We rewatched his entire filmography and reviewed every role, from the iconic to the...not so great. From his chilling performance as Bishop in Juice to his nuanced portrayal of heroin-addicted jazz musician in Gridlock'd, we cover all six of his films. We're discussing favorite scenes, favorite characters and favorite lines. We also get into what roles made famous by others that we would have liked to have seen Tupac play, and which of his characters that we could be friends with.This episode is filled with spoilers, but these movies came out over 30 years ago, so, you've had time. :-)
