Back To School with guest Schoolly D
2024/02/22
It's quite rare for us to be able to talk to a true pioneer in the rap game, especially one so vital and engaged as the legendary Schoolly D. We were able to get some time with the literal father of gangster rap to talk about his self-drawn album art, his influence on the genre, his work in TV, his diet, and so much more. DBRP hosts David Ma, Nate LeBlanc and Demone Carter have been longtime fans of Schoolly's work and have referenced his seminal tracks (and the Edan song "Schoolly D Knew The Time") many times throughout our few hundred episodes, so it was surreal to actually speak with him. He was full of energy, unsurprisingly ribald, and a deep well of knowledge on the fundamentals of rap. Overall, a great interview. In the intro segment we discuss tattoo etiquette, commitment phobia, the infantilization of NBA coaches, and the terror of the wrestling unit in middle school P.E. class. Our theme song was produced by Cutso and rapped by DEM ONE (Demone's rap guise) Dad Bod Rap Pod is a proud member of the Stony Island Audio network

The Stylistics of Rap with guest Bruiser Wolf
2024/02/15
Dad Bod Rap Pod is back after our brief winter break. This week we have a great interview with returning guest Bruiser Wolf. Since bursting onto the scene as part of Danny Brown's Bruiser Brigade a few years ago, Wolf has carved out a unique lane for himself with a lilting, melodic flow comprised of off kilter couplets and observational wordplay that can skew either funny, enlightening, or devastating. His last record, Dope Game Stupid, is a cult classic and a favorite of ours, something we often find ourselves re-listening to. Now Bruiser is back, stepping his game up with the new LP My Story Got Stories. Featuring production from Raphy, Harry Fraud and others, this outing sees Wolf expanding his sonic palette while doubling down on his storytelling chops, his delightfully off the wall rhyme schemes, and his relatable tales of Detroit street life. This is a really fun episode, as DBRP hosts Demone Carter, Nate LeBlanc and David Ma share a palpable excitement to be back recording together. We catch up on what we have been up to since we last spoke, as well as the non sequitur pop culture breakdowns you have come to expect. Big shouts as always to Stony Island Audio, the hip-hop podcast network with shows you can actually listen to.

DBRP 50 Pt.1
2023/12/14
With this being the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop and all the bros figured it was time to put together a Top 50 list of some sort. In lieu of talking about the same amazing but over-discussed rap songs/albums they thought it would be cool to list the top 50 songs that make up the DBRP aesthetic. Because 6th years in Dad Bod Rap Pod has become a staple podcast with fans of a certain age and sensibility. This part one of two part jammy jam. Happy 50th to Hip Hop and long live Dad Bod Rap Pod!

DBRP RETRO
2023/12/07
but when it come to nights like this.... To conclude the 93' Retro series the bros talk about arguably the most perfect rap album of all-time A Tribe Called Quest's Midnight Marauders. Coming off the commercial and artistic triumph that was Low End Theory many wondered if Tribe could raise the bar yet again. Nate, Dave, and DEM talk about their favorite joints from this nocturnal masterpiece. In a year where rap music delivered several classic album Midnight Marauders still stands alone.

This is a dedication to you wack emcees...... Del's second album, No Need For Alarm, was a departure of sorts from his debut LP, I Wish My Brother George Was Here. Eschewing the Ice Cube/George Clinton funk aesthetic, Del went deep into his backpack and pulled a record for the ages. The head of the Hiero Voltron launched a full-scale attack on inferior rappers over raw no-nonsense beats. This week, the bros reflect fondly on an album that lives in their collective DNA.  If you like what you hear please like, rate, review, and subscribe on your platform of choice.

Outkast is perhaps Hip Hop's closest corollary to the Beatles. Their musical journey, commercial success, and geographic origins (the south got something to say) make them a one-of-one rap group. On this week's episode the bros take a walk down memory lane and dissect Outkast's 25 year old classic album Aquemini. Joining the dad bods on the b side of the episode is Fat Tony who shares how this album was huge influence on his artistic development.

Wu Tang Aint Nuthin' to Fuck It! Have a song ever had truer title!? 30 years after its release Wu Tang Clan's Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) remains a musical achievement without parallel. The 9 man rap cartel ripped a hole in the fabric of Hip Hop space-time and delivered a masterpiece. Eschewing the polished rap sound for something more guttural and dangerous. In this episode Nate, Dave, DEM, and special guest DJ Cutso talk about when they first heard the Wu Tang and their favorite jams off the album. Part 1 of a two part WU banger.

If you weren't outside then, it's difficult to comprehend how highly anticipated Snoop Dog's first album was. In the era before the internet, the buzz surrounding Doggystyle could have powered a major metropolitan area. The Dr. Dre industrial complex had already delivered The Chronic a year earlier, so there was a notion that with rookie of the year from Long Beach in tow, Doggystyle would be one for the ages. Now, with 30 years of hindsight, we ask the following question: Is this a timeless record or a record of its time?
