rockthedub radio 032: Muhammad Ali Special

With Muhammad Ali's passing, I got the bug and wanted to combine some of my favorite talking bits from him over the years with some of the hip-hop I've been digging over the last few years. This isn't like a definitive statement on Ali's life, but it does feature some of his humor mixed with some of his deeper insight, along with some Easter eggs hidden throughout. Something fun and honest to help remember The Greatest by. Rest in peace, Muhammad Ali.

rockthedub radio 031

This episode was supposed to be two things: one, it was to highlight my favorite tracks of 2008, and it was to serve as an ode to a fallen soldier, Snoop. I got the first hour done a while ago, and it did both things... but I never sat down to finish hour two. Hour two is just a dumb out, with me throwin' in some joints from the last few weeks that have gotten 'nuff play on my way back and forth to work. And it concludes the Snoop saga.

Let me know if you're feeling it!

This mix came about mad piecemeal. Two weeks ago, I had the mix from tracks 6-24 done. I then finished the tail-end and added an intro this past Black Friday, with a 40 of OE and no direction. I don't think anyone cares, but I think it came out kind of ill. I threw a few comedic interludes in there for no good reason. I think I'm gonna do a special show with no rapping but mad beats. Soon come.
