The Audacity of Dope

It’s SXSW week so I’m catching up on SNSS episodes before I make the annual trek down to Austin.  Here’s episode #455, where we played new music from artists like The Lox, Supastition, Mac Miller, Dave B, Sol, Big Boi, CyHi The Prynce, Estelle, Freddie Gibbs, Madlib, LIZ, Kelela, Barcelona, SOHN, Skyzoo, Isaiah Rashad, and more.

Good episode, hope you guys enjoy!

For the second time, Kanye West kicked off an international tour here in Seattle and while the Yeezus show wasn’t as amazing as his Glow In The Dark tour (best show I’ve ever seen, btw), it definitely shut down the city over the weekend.  I swear, damn near everyone in Seattle was there and despite some issues that might be expected with opening night (missed effect queues, inconsistent sound, a stolen equipment truck?…sorry Vancouver), it was a great night.  If you’re a Kanye fan, and more importantly a fan of the Yeezus project, then you’ll love it.  It’s an amazing spectacle either way…

We had to discuss the show and dedicated the last set of this week’s SNSS to the man himself.  Over the past decade, who else has released more quality music and grown with each release, than Kanye?  I’ll wait.

And in the meantime, enjoy the show!

“Makin’ a sacrifice, no matter what the sh*t be costin’/
And while you coughin’, I be flossin’ like a f*ckin’ dolphin”

— Busta Rhymes, “Survival Hungry”

This record came on the iPod while in the gym today and I remembered laughing at this bar in high school.  I mean…dolphins are dope…and pretty damn cool in their every day lives…I’ll give you that…but flossin’?
