This episode is all about alternative hip hop and how it began as a reaction to the more mainstream forms of gangsta and hardcore rap to how it has evolved into the very experimental and avant-garde genre it is today. From the Fugees and A Tribe Called Quest to Tyler, the Creator and JPEGMAFIA, the genre has changed considerably and is only getting WEIRDER! and we're all very excited for it 😁
