    Take It Personal Flashback (Street Level Spotlight) with Al' Tariq & Psycho Les
    Sep 24 2024
    On this flashback of Take It Personal Radio, we're hitting you with a remastered edition of Episode 67, our album spotlight on the timeless Beatnut's classic Street Level. It's been 4 years since we recorded this episode and our feelings about this album haven't changed a bit.

    We got to relive this classic album track-by-track with special guests Al' Tariq aka Kool Fashion and Psycho Les. We speak to Al Tariq first and later Les joins with his own perspective. Then, in typical Take It Personal fashion, and we reunite these two guys for the first time in many, many years. In '94, we became immune to classic releases because they were dropping weekly.
    Street Level isn’t just a classic album, it’s damn near perfect, front to back. The production is some of the finest you'll ever hear, too. While The Nuts went on to have greater success as a duo with chart-topping hits such as Off The Books and Watch Out Now, their energy and wit always seemed the best when they were a trio.
    We released both stand-alone interviews of Al' Tariq and Psycho Les on our Vevo (Youtube) channel, as they discuss their solo ventures, Junkyard Juju, the reintroduction of Big Pun, J-Lo stealing their beat, plus life after The Nuts. There's even a discussion about a possible reunion.
    Revisit our Tribute to Street Level - we know you're going to LOVE IT!

  • Take It Personal Flashback (Atmosphere Tribute)

    Take It Personal Flashback (Atmosphere Tribute)
    Sep 14 2024
    On this flashback of Take It Personal Radio, we're hitting you with episode 19, our Atmosphere Tribute.
    Over the past few decades, Atmosphere has been touring the globe, making music, making fans and one member, especially, making babies. Hailing outta Minneapolis, Slug and Ant aren’t just a group, they’re Minnesota Nice! The slept-on beatmaker and storyteller have accumulated copious amounts of success throughout the years, so it was time Take It Personal took you on a tribute trip down Atmosphere lane. We cover the classics, the obscure, fan favorites and even some collaborations. We promise you, there will never be another Atmosphere tribute quite like this one. To further cement that, we invited Slug on the show to break bread with us. The 2-part interview plays throughout this 4+ hour tribute show. We delve into a different side of Sean Daley. We talk family, friends, critics touring, Soundset, DJ Premier and some crazy stories like the time Rick Rubin was courting them. When you think Minnesota musicians, you immediately think of Prince, The Time, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, and probably Bob Dylan, but after this show, we have to think Atmosphere will be right there with them. ⁠www.takeitpersonalradio.com⁠⁠www.patreon.com/TakeItPersonal⁠ Follow us on Instagram @⁠takeitpersonalradio⁠

  • Take It Personal Flashback (DJ Premier Interview)

    Take It Personal Flashback (DJ Premier Interview)
    Sep 9 2024
    On this flashback of Take It Personal Radio, we're hitting you with our DJ Premier interview. We had Preemo on the show early on when we did our Prodigy tribute, but he returned to the show to discuss the latest Gang Starr album. We talk plenty about Guru, their relationship, the misunderstandings and the family bond. We get into the collabos with Nas, Pete Rock, De La Soul, Q-Tip, Bun B and K-Rino. We discuss the artists featured on One of The Best Yet, as well as those who weren’t on the album but felt they should be. There was nothing off-limits and DJ Premier opened about Solar like we've never heard before. Of course, we had to have a little fun, so, we made Preem choose his best work outta Livin' Proof, The Sun Rises In The East or Hard To Earn.
    This was a great discussion with the GOAT.

  • Take It Personal Flashback (Nas vs. Jay-Z)

    Take It Personal Flashback (Nas vs. Jay-Z)
    Sep 4 2024
    We're starting to remaster older shows and present them as 1 episode as opposed to breaking them up into parts, like they were originally been released as.
    On this flashback of episode 54, we give you over 5+ hours of one of the greatest hip-hop battles of all-time, Nas vs. Jay-Z. We knew when making this that it had to be special. It had to be something unlike we've ever witnessed before, even though the battle took place nearly decades ago. It was important to re-create the magic and the memories and celebrate two of the most decorated veterans in hip-hop.
    This epic episode plays like a Scorsese film. But, unlike most films, this gladiator battle has 4 acts. Each battle is carefully curated to bring out the best in each opponent.
    We found a way to breathe new life into this battle of rap dominance and New York supremacy. Whether you're Team Nas or Team Jay-Z, we guarantee you moments where you'll feel conflicted, startled and even celebratory.

    Aug 30 2024
    We could write-up a colorful description to entice you to listen, but we’re talking about Redman. If you know how Take It Personal does interviews, you know we cover just about everything. We ask the questions most don’t and know sh*t most don’t. Reggie Noble is charismatic, energetic, honest, informative, appreciative and in typical Redman fashion, HILARIOUS in this interview!
