20/20 EPISODE 39 (26/05/08)

Download this episode (22 min)
I'll say this right now. There is nobody - NOBODY - who can fuck with Immortal Technique on the mic. Even if you hate his political views, you've got to give it to him as an MC: the word 'sick' doesn't quite cut it. We have a track called The Third World off his upcoming album of the same name. You need this in your life.

Tech gets assists from R-Senic, C-Lone, Royce Da 5'9", Elzhi, Black Milk and Kashmere. Do the numbers kids. This is the only hip-hop show on planet earth you'll ever need.

Yeah.

20/20 EPISODE 37 (12/05/08)

Yes, there are TWO 20/20 downloads this week. The one right here is the regular show you know and love, but right underneath it (down there...there!) is a special report. We examine why Zubz's track Get Out! is being taken to task for hate speech and incitement to violence. Go get that.

Oh, but don't forget this regular show too. Atmosphere have a new album - When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold. Dope title, dope album. We've got a cut from Slug and Ant on here, joined by the Roots, Canibus, Zubz (Get Out! to refresh ya memory) and my boy Cody Cox. LESOTHO WATTUP!

Go paint it gold.

20/20 SPECIAL REPORT (11/05/08)

Download this episode (9 min)
(UPDATE: It's been pointed out to me that there is a level discrepancy at the end of this podcast. My bad! I will be fixing this later tonight; it's minor and does not affect the podcast all that badly. Please download, it's still good!)

In this 20/20 Special Report, we look at a situation which is shaking the foundations of South African hip-hop. The political party Freedom Front Plus recently made a complaint about a song/video by African rapper Zubz. They said his track 'Get Out!' was an incitement to violence, and complained as such to South Africa's Broadcasting Complaints Commission - a body which has the power to ban the track.

In this report, 20/20 speaks to Zubz, FF+ spokesman Willie Spies as well as two of Zubz's producers. Hear for yourself whether or not the track should be considered hate speech - and hear what the Commission decided.

At what point does a song stop being entertainment and commentary and start to become incitement to violence? How much freedom is too much freedom? 20/20 takes on these questions and more.

It's all here, in a 20/20 exclusive. Get in.

Experts Making Classics? Every Man Can? Every Minute Counts? Actually, who gives a toss what it stands for; EMC (Masta Ace, Stricklin, Punch and Words) have just released The Show - officially the top joint of the year so far. Lead track on 20/20 this week. Get it in.

Joining them are Core Wreckah, Snuff the Ablist, Koaste, MC Mercury, Ruckspin and Planas, Virus Syndicate, Foreign Beggars, Doc Syntax and the Archetypes. BRRRRAAAAAPPPP!

That last bit sounds dope at a show, but when written down it looks like the typed version of a really bad fart.

Anyway...
