On November 2, 2016 The ”Take It Personal” Podcast was launched as the Golden Era and boom-bap-focused podcast to beat all Podcasts. Broadcasting all the way live from Del Boca Vista and brought to you by the Philaflava crew, who founded one of Complex Magazine’s ”Top 10 Most Influential Hip-Hop Message Boards,” well as authoritative subject matter blogs, T.R.O.Y and ”Steady Bloggin’,” the show and its brand of witty nuance and authentic reverence courtesy of co-hosts Jason Gloss, Kevlar, DJ 360, A-Aron and Roger The Announcer is here to fill the nostalgia void in your heart.
On episode 156 of Take It Personal Radio, we're giving you the best of TIP. This episode is dedicated to all of the "new music" we've played since the beginning of Take It Personal in 2016.
We've got music D.I.T.C., Evidence, Gang Starr, The LOX, Benny The Butcher, Roc Marciano, Jay Electronica, Run The Jewels, Pusha T, Ras Kass, Masta Ace & Marco Polo, Westside Gun, Kid Abstrakt, Ryu, Phife Dawg and many from our extended TIP family like Meyhem Lauren, Apathy, Pharoahe Monch, Supastition, Redman and Black Thought.
We've got 3 mixes full of hitters, no quitters to start off our Best of Tip proper. At the break, we discuss Tyson vs. Paul, the 3rd Bass reunion, Nintendo, the end of chain restaurants and a little college football. Enjoy!

On this flashback of Take It Personal, we're hitting you with a combined remastered version of episodes 29 & 30, our Native Tongues Tribute. This 12+ hour episode features music from the most important, and influential hip-hop collective we've ever seen.
With the help and hustle of both DJ Red Alert and Chris Lighty, the Native Tongues were a force to be reckoned with. The Jungle Brothers paved the way for groups like De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest and Black Sheep. Prior to The Flava Unit, Queen Latifah was this crew's Den mother. Along with her protege Monie Love, they were both instrumental in helping the female movement in hip-hop.
The Native Tongues provided plenty of classic albums, countless anthems and produced more offspring than Joe Jackson. The Natives helped jumpstart the careers of Busta Rhymes, Chi-Ali, Mos Def, J Dilla and have influenced artists such as Brand Nubian, K.M.D., Common, The Beatnuts, Bush Babees, The Roots, Slum Village, Little Brother, Kanye West, Black Star, Pharrell, Hieroglyphics, The Pharcyde, J5, Kedrick Lamar, Pusha T, Andre 3000 and even Nas. They've influenced everyone!
The Native Tongue brand was strong despite some internal conflict, growing pains and different career paths. They left an everlasting impression on hip-hop. It's our privilege to present to you our Native Tongues Tribute!

If there was a poster that defined the indie hip-hop movement, it would have the face of The Mighty Mos Def on it. Whether you first heard him on My Kung Fu, The Love Song or Stakes Is High Remix, you immediately knew what you heard was special. We're talking a generational talent. Mos Def had the voice, the sound, the style, the charm, the humor, the endless stories and the ability to spit bars as great as singing those melodic hooks. A real dual-threat. Triple-threat when you factor in his acting chops.
If LL Cool J is the face of Def Jam, Mos Def is the face of Rawkus. He breathed new life into hip-hop in the late 90s. Mos was the last Jedi able to carry on that Native Tongues torch. On Episode 85, we cover the catalog, the guest spots and discuss our favorite Mos Def moments.

On this flashback of Take It Personal Radio, we're hitting you with a remastered version of episode 32, our Pharoahe Monch Tribute. This 5 1/2 hour episode was recorded in 2018 and is now remastered in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Stress: The Extinction Agenda.
We felt it was not only necessary, but equally important to do a tribute in honor of one of the greatest lyricists hip-hop has had.
Additionally, what would a Take It Personal tribute be without the man of the hour stopping by to share some stories? We talk Paul C., Extra P, and even Kool Keith. We find out what it was like being passed on by Russell Simmons (along with Nas) and signing with Disney.
We break down the Stress: Extinction Agenda album cover. We touch on his relationship with O.C. and the fact he thought the Time's Up beat was pretty wack. We talk Rawkus, ghostwriting for Puffy, sampling, sports, what went wrong on The Equinox; yes, we went there.
We asked everything and he answered everything, including the possibility of an OK reunion. We also have 86 tracks displaying the brilliance of Pharoahe Monch. If you haven't heard this episode before or need a refresher, tap in because this one is TIP classic material.
On this flashback of Take It Personal Radio, we're hitting you with a remastered version of episode 50, our Hieroglyphics Tribute. This was a mammoth one. We've got special guests Slug, Murs, Apathy, J-Zone, The Grouch & Breakbeat Lou stopping by. We interview Del, Domino, Casual & Tajai and they've got stories for days!
Del talks about doing shrooms with Q-Tip to Casual freestyling with Pharoahe Monch at the Gavin. We touch on Casual vs. Saafir and the impact it had on battle rap. We unfortunately find out Ice Cube wasn’t a fan of Gang Starr and thought Kool Keith was too weird. Del explains what it was like not only being cousins with Ice Cube, but their musical similarities and his involvement earlier on in his career.
We learn about Del’s feelings towards the Gorillaz, while Domino breaks down just about every Hiero collaboration imaginable. We talk I Wish My Brother George Was Here, ’93 Til Infinity, No Need For Alarm, Fear Itself, Like It Should Be and No Man’s Land. We discuss their rap dominance prior to being dropped by the label. Tajai’s breaks down his feelings towards the group’s sophomore album and the importance of each album sounding different.
This episode can be a slow burn or a fast one, but we all know Hiero is til infinity!
Chances are you listen to Take It Personal because you're stuck in the golden era. But every once in a while, we feel it's our responsibility to put a spotlight on today's music.
On episode 154, we're do all of the heavy lifting to help you diversify your bonds, like GZA. We'll always be a 90's centric show at heart, but some of us are really stuck in the past and we feel you might be missing out on some great music, especially from the independent artists out there.
We've got new music from Godfather Don, Ka, High & Mighty, Blu, Vic Spencer. Mickey Diamond, Rahim Samad, Truth By Design, Vice Souletric, Recognize Ali, Kurious, Diamond D, Awon & Phoniks, Paradox & DJ Sean P, Apathy, ALYX Ryon & Jumbled to name a few. Maybe even some Pete & Bas if you keep listening to the very end (hint, hint).
If you like what you hear, support these artists. Follow them on social. Buy their products when they drop. Cop their merch. Comment on this post, so they know how you feel and they'll have no choice but to continue putting out good music.
Take It Personal Radio is now streaming on Pandora in addition to iTunes, Amazon Music, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Vevo, Podbean, Podchaser, Samsung, Boomplay and Player FM.

On this flashback of Take It Personal Radio, we're hitting you with a remastered version of our Black Thought Tribute combing both episode 68 and 69, including our exclusive Black Thought interview.
Black Thought isn't just one of our favorites, he is arguably the greatest living rapper in the game. And despite where he might be on your top list, there is no doubt that after you listen to our Black Thought Tribute, he'll be bumped up in your ranking.
We discuss the Streams of Thought albums. We discuss working with Danger Mouse and the late Kobe Bryant, as well as the upcoming musical he wrote and will be starring in titled "Black No More". We find out if there's a new Roots album on it's way, delve into some Roots stories such as Malik B, Razhel, getting signed to Geffen and what the "actual" release date was for "Do You Want More?!!!??!". We talk Philly, food, classic hip-hop and much, much more.
We recorded this prior to the passing of Malik B.
