]]> 4696 yes Slimkid3 (Can't Knock the Shuffle Classic) Patreon.com/thequestionshiphop questionshiphop.com youtube.com/thequestionshiphop Originally broadcast on May 24, 2021. Simply put, Tre Hardson aka Slimkid3 is a legend. Hip hop was forever changed in 1992 when his group the Pharcyde emerged onto the scene with their classic debut album 'Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde.' The group brought a decidedly animated and imaginative element to their songwriting and presence on the microphone – and Tre definitely stood out with his distinct melodic voice; you could really even say that a lot of these rappers who sing owe a bit to Slimkid3. The Pharcyde’s second album Labcabincalifornia sported a darker sound (and early contributions from the great Jay Dee aka Jay Dilla) that reflected the frustration the group was going through with both the industry – and internally. Tre did one last album with the group (2000’s Plain Rap) before embarking on a solo career that also has seen him team up with DJ Nu-Mark from Jurassic 5, Ozomatli, and occasional reunions with various members of his Pharcyde brethren – and today they are back at it (as a trio), touring the world and possibly poised to release new music soon. In this Can't Knock the Shuffle classic, we break down stories behind the following songs: "Groupie Therapy" (Pharcyde 'Labcabincalifornia', 1995) "Trust" (Pharcyde 'Plain Rap', 2000) "King" feat Diamond D and K-Natural ('Slimkid3 & Nu-Mark', 2016) "Life is Love" ('Liberation', 2002) "Pick It Up" feat Dillon Cooper (TRDMRK, 2019) "4 Better or 4 Worse" (Pharcyde 'Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde', 1992) The Questions Hip-Hop: Instagram Sean Kantrowitz: Instagram Slimkid3: Instagram Mon, 31 Mar 2025 07:00:00 -0000 full The Questions Hip-Hop Patreon.com/thequestionshiphop questionshiphop.com youtube.com/thequestionshiphop Originally broadcast on May 24, 2021.

Originally hailing from the Netherlands, Nicolay launched his career as we know it in the early 2000s, when he was sharing files over the Internet with Phonte Coleman from Little Brother. Their remote international collaboration resulted in the group Foreign Exchange, an ahead of its time side project that eventually brought Nicolay to the states and would lead to several albums, consistent touring around the globe, his own Foreign Exchange Music record label, and a Grammy nomination for the group’s second album Leave it All Behind – and they’ve done it all independently and playing by their own rules. Nicolay has also released his own albums – both instrumental and with other vocalists – and has built his brand around a refusal to conform to one sound or style. In this episode, we break down these songs: "There's No Guarantee" ('City Lights Volume 1.5', 2005) "Nic's Groove" (Foreign Exchange 'Connected', 2004) "A New World" ('A New World', 2020) "Behind Your Door" (w/ The Hot At Nights, 'Glaciers', 2018) "Laughing At Your Plans" (Foreign Exchange 'Authenticity', 2010) "What It Used To Be" feat Wiz Khalifa ('Here', 2006) "Asking For a Friend" (Foreign Exchange, 'Tales from the Land of Milk and Honey', 2015) Nicolay/Foreign Exchange: foreignexchangemusic.com The Questions: @thequestionshiphop (IG), @questionshiphop (Twitter) Sean: @seandammit (IG), @seandammit (Twitter) Nicolay: @nicolaymusic (IG), @nicolaymusic (Twitter) Email: sean@questionshiphop.com questionshiphop.com Mon, 04 Sep 2023 07:00:00 -0000 Nicolay (Can't Knock the Shuffle - Classic) full The Questions Hip-Hop Nicolay (Can't Knock the Shuffle - Classic) ORDER THE QUESTIONS HIP-HOP TRIVIA GAME Patreon.com/thequestionshiphop Original broadcast: April 26, 2021 A return to the Can't Knock the Shuffle archives with Grammy-nominated producer Nicolay.

]]> 6073 Slug (Can't Knock the Shuffle - Classic) ORDER THE QUESTIONS HIP-HOP TRIVIA GAME Patreon.com/thequestionshiphop Original broadcast: December 2, 2020 Another dive into the Can't Knock the Shuffle archives with Slug from Atmosphere. Audio has been seriously improved from the initial broadcast on the CKTS channel so even if you've heard this episode before, it's worth revisiting on this go-round. It isn't exaggeration to say that Sean Daley – better known as Slug – has played a pivotal role in the evolution of underground hip hop since the turn of the century. His group Atmosphere truly carved their own lane out in the indie scene dating back to the '90s with the DIY-approach of his label Rhymesayers Entertainment and the vulnerability in the group's songs. Over the years, Slug's style as a writer has also evolved, from the "underground battle rap" space to his development of the silly-sounding-but-somewhat-useful "emo rap" and "dad rap" descriptors. He's always been a great writer and an excellent storyteller, and so it was an absolute pleasure to go under the hood of these seven songs: "Sleep Apnea" ('The Day Before Halloween,' 2020) "Get Fly" ('You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having,' 2005) "Everything" ('Fishing Blues,' 2016) "Felt Chewed Up" ('Felt 3: A Tribute to Rosie Perez,' 2009) "Get It to Get Her" ('Strictly Leakage,' 2007) "One of a Kind" ('God Loves Ugly,' 2002) 'Sunshine' ('Sad Clown Bad Summer,' 2007) The Questions: @thequestionshiphop (IG), @questionshiphop (Twitter) Sean: @seandammit (IG), @seandammit (Twitter) Atmosphere: @atmosphere (IG) Email: sean@questionshiphop.com questionshiphop.com Mon, 07 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0000 Slug (Can't Knock the Shuffle - Classic) full The Questions Hip-Hop Slug (Can't Knock the Shuffle - Classic) ORDER THE QUESTIONS HIP-HOP TRIVIA GAME Patreon.com/thequestionshiphop Original broadcast: December 2, 2020 Another dive into the Can't Knock the Shuffle archives with Slug from Atmosphere.

]]> 7875 Blueprint - Can't Knock the Shuffle (Classic) Patreon.com/thequestionshiphop ORDER THE QUESTIONS HIP-HOP TRIVIA GAME Original Broadcast: November 18, 2020 Blueprint is someone who knows a thing or two about multitasking. The producer/emcee played a pivotal role in the emerging underground scene in the Midwest during the late 90's/early '00s, with his own Weightless crew and also amongst the artists that would eventually comprise the rosters of indie juggernauts Rhymesayers and Definitive Jux. He's continued to put out a steady clip of music since then (both as a solo artist as well as one half of Soul Position with RJD2), but music isn't where his journey ends. He's become a film/video director, a published author with four books under his belt, and the host of his own 'Super Duty Tough Work' podcast. But no matter what the medium, he's essentially a storyteller, and so it was great to hear the stories behind these seven randomly selected songs from his catalog: "The Jerry Springer Episode" (Soul Position '8 Million Stories', 2003) "Alchemy" (Aesop Rock, 'Daylight', 2002) "The American Dream" ('Deleted Scenes,' 2012) "Great Eyedeas Never Die" ('King No Crown,' 2015) "Fresh" ('1988', 2005) "Arms Too Short" ('Chamber Music', 2004) "Overdosin'" ('Respect the Architect,' 2014) Lots of great conversation here, too: reflecting about the rise of the scene he helped build, the forces that caused that machine to slow down years later, his approach to songwriting and recording, and so much more.
