The Planet, along with Chicago’s own Square-One of B-Side Radio, have joined forces to bring you the week in review in Hip-Hop and current events, along with the occasional special guest and some music to keep you moving through your day.
This edition of IllSide radio deals with the aftermath of Steve Stoute’s letter to the Grammys. Did what he say have merit? Do the Grammys discriminate against Hip-Hop music? Is Stoute the right person to deliver this message? Do people associated with Hip-Hop respect other genres? Do they have respect for their own art form and is that respect (or lack of it) contributing to how it Is perceived? Are awards shows effective determinants towards artistic merit?
After the false reports that they took pleas and reports that they didn’t take pleas, it was reported that Tru Life and brother Seven Dirty took plea bargains related to their 2008murder case.
We look at the release of the new Marsha Ambrosius album. Did the Floecist make the wrong move in trying to go solo? Are they better together?
We also took a look at the aftermath of the NBA All-Star Game and the weekend festivities. Was Blake Griffin’s dunk overrated? Did Kobe go nut getting his game MVP? What did Amar’e Stoudemire have to say about it. Should Lebron’s triple double have garnered the MVP? Kanye West gets booed at a recent Bull’s game. No love in the Chi-City for Yeezy? Rhymefest makes it to a run-off in the Chicago City Council race. All this, plus new music from Lupe and Raekwon on this episode.
Sit back, relax and take a ride on the Ill Side.
