10/26/15 • -1 min

Sam and Cray play catch up after their time off. They round up hip hop news from the last few weeks: is Dee-1 being persecuted by his own label? Native American culture meets hip hop. Mac Miller as an extension of human brokenness. Are songwriters under appreciated in rap? Drake as understood by college kids.

And finally, Cray gets grumpy about a pet peeve and the k-os track “Crucify”.

Sam and Cray weigh in on the new Mac Miller album and the track “Ascension”. Mac sounds like he believes he’s reached a higher spiritual plane, but does he really believe that? Cray also drops the bombshell that this is the last podcast of Sunday OldSkool......for one week. The SOS studio is getting a makeover and the crew is taking a week off to get the new gear in place and broken in. They also round up some happenings in the rap world and apologize for incorrectly using the word, “requisite.”

Sunday Oldskool Episode 75: “Made in America” and the Soul of “Watch the Throne”

We return to Watch the Throne, trying to decide if “Made in America” completes a spiritual bookend started with “No Church in the Wild”. There is either more to the success of Jay Z and Kanye than the riches they revel in throughout the album, or they’re content to celebrate hollow wealth alongside some of the most prophetic civil rights figures. We hope it’s not the latter.
