Take It Personal Flashback (Pharoahe Monch Tribute)
Episode description
On this flashback of Take It Personal Radio, we're hitting you with a remastered version of episode 32, our Pharoahe Monch Tribute. This 5 1/2 hour episode was recorded in 2018 and is now remastered in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Stress: The Extinction Agenda.
We felt it was not only necessary, but equally important to do a tribute in honor of one of the greatest lyricists hip-hop has had.
Additionally, what would a Take It Personal tribute be without the man of the hour stopping by to share some stories? We talk Paul C., Extra P, and even Kool Keith. We find out what it was like being passed on by Russell Simmons (along with Nas) and signing with Disney.
We break down the Stress: Extinction Agenda album cover. We touch on his relationship with O.C. and the fact he thought the Time's Up beat was pretty wack. We talk Rawkus, ghostwriting for Puffy, sampling, sports, what went wrong on The Equinox; yes, we went there.
We asked everything and he answered everything, including the possibility of an OK reunion. We also have 86 tracks displaying the brilliance of Pharoahe Monch. If you haven't heard this episode before or need a refresher, tap in because this one is TIP classic material.
