This episode originally aired on YouTube on May 6th 2024. Another thematic episode, we released the 2Pac “Dear Mama” show the week leading up to Mother’s Day and it was the second one of two back to back recordings we did. Like the previous episode, we noticed this show had a handful of video glitches, freezing our images up, after its release. It was the catalyst that sparked our decision to focus our energy on audio only formats. We’ll still be releasing our video episodes on our YouTube channel, we’re just eliminating all of the editing where we apply pictures to the show and are redirecting the time it takes to do that to record back to back episodes so we can deliver our fans more content in a more interactive way. The format will slightly change so we can include comments from our fans and listeners. To be a part of the show, follow us on our new InstaGram page @RememberTheRecord and follow us on FaceBook at The Rapper’s Corner. We wrapped up on the two final shows that were done in this original format and will release those two episodes over the next two weeks. Please like, comment, subscribe, rate, review & follow us on all social media platforms to help us continue to build this community. We look forward to interacting with and getting to know our listeners a little better in the near future and thank you to all of those who’ve been rocking with us from day one! We can’t wait to bring you even more content than ever and hope y’all enjoy the show!

One Love,

This episode originally aired on YouTube on April 29th 2024. The Kris Kross “Jump” episode was the show that lead us to pivoting to audio focused platforms. For reasons outside of the pod, Kalashnikov Red & Johnny Warbux, agreed to make two episodes back to back in a single day. That’s set up, recording, breaks, editing and rewatching the entire shows to locate time stamps for photos, etc. it became an all day affair. On top of that, both videos had glitches in them and we couldn’t edit them after the fact without compromising our audio integrity. So this was when we decided to make our switch. Also, we had issues with our host cleaning up the audio for this specific episode and ended up having to post the raw audio rip from YouTube. Let us know how it sounds! We hope you enjoy this light hearted and funny episode. You will hear it when you hear this, but, we were really having fun recording this one. Thanks to everyone who are rocking with us during these growing pains. We appreciate all of y’all!

One Love,

***EDITOR’S NOTE***

This episode originally aired on YouTube on March 25th 2024. We’re going to be catching up to our current episode soon here Corner Stoners! The big take aways from this particular show, dedicated to Hit ‘Em High by The Hip-Hop Monstars, is this is the first episode we did that was on a large (not already a group) posse cut. It’s the first song released on an original motion picture soundtrack. It’s the first song we’ve covered inspired by cartoons (as well as sports!). It’s the first one where we couldn’t produce a proper playlist on Spotify because the song and most of the soundtrack isn’t available on that platform. We had a blast with this one though and we hope you all enjoy it as well. Leave a comment and let us know what posse cut we should cover next on Remember The Record!

One Love,

***EDITOR’S NOTES***

This episode originally aired on YouTube on February 14th 2024. Keeping up with our thematic traditions we ran with a new Valentine’s Day inspired record. Last year we went with a falling in love / having a crush theme so this time around we wanted to review a record that supports the opposite side of the coin, the heart ache, love sick side. Psycho Realm’s “Love From The Sick Side” gives us not only that, but a chance to cover a group that wasn’t on that mega star level, reminding our listeners that we will cover any Hip-Hop or rap music adjacent song, regardless of commercial success so long as we like the music or think it would make for a good episode. As always, we ask that you hit the like button, follow our podcast, leave a comment and review of the show and share this with other Hip-Hop heads in your life. Thanks again for the continued support from our listeners and we plan to repay y’all by getting you involved in future episodes soon!

One Love,

***EDITOR’S NOTES*** this episode first released on YouTube on January 10th 2024. This marks the swcond installment to our annual Happy Wu Year episodes. We decided to branch out from the main line up and give one of our favorite, more underground, jams a try. This opened the gates to consider future not quite as mainstream as other artist we’ve highlighted on the show. But this one is very funny and filled with lots of jewels about the song and the album its feature on, The Swarm. By the end of our first quarter, one of the artists from the group, Christ Bearer, heard snippets of the review and shared props and tagged others into the posts. It was super legit as we’ve been listening to him and his crew for quite some time!

***EDITOR’S NOTES***

This episode originally aired on YouTube on December 13th 2023. Another holiday inspired episode for Remember The Record with Christmas right around the corner we decided to go with the Carol of the Bells flow inspired Shoot ‘Em Up by Nas. This marks the first episode where we switched locations from Johnny Warbux’s spot to Kalashnikov Red’s to enhance the visual aesthetic of the show and for ease of Johnny’s family as well. We fix the audio levels of the musical backdrop this go round and continue trying to enhance the quality of the listening experience. We hope y’all enjoy the show and as usual, ask that you follow, rank & review our show as well as share it with other Hip-Hop heads in your life.

…Nas' Nastradamus: Revisited and Revived…

Welcome back, Corner Stoners! In our 13th installment of Remember the Record, Johnny Warbux and Kalashnikov Red dive deep into Nas' often overlooked album, Nastradamus, released on November 23, 1999. This episode is all about the hidden gem, "Shoot Em Up," a track that blends gangsta vibes with a surprising Christmas carol twist.

Join us as we dissect the lyrics, production, and cultural significance of "Shoot Em Up." We'll also explore Nas' broader discography, debating his top singles and deep cuts, and even imagining what could have been with collaborations like The Firm and Group Therapy. This episode is a must-listen for any Nas fan or hip-hop aficionado looking to appreciate the complexities and evolution of one of the greatest MCs of all time.

***EDITOR’S NOTES***

This episode originally aired on YouTube on November 7th, 2023. Another seasonally thematic episode, in honor of both Kalashnikov’s indigenous roots and November being American Indian Heritage Month, we agreed to do an episode on Funkdoobiest and their west coast classic “Rock On”. This would be considered our first episode diving into a song that isn’t as widely popular on the mainstream circuit and would be more par for the course for several episodes until later in the first quarter of 2024. Also, as we had just recently starting backdrop music to the show, we acknowledged that the instrumental was a touch too loud on the episode and moving forward made a permanent adjustment to the volume so it was easier to listen to us speak on the topic for future episodes. We hope you enjoy this deep cut episode and continue to follow us along the development of the show as changes continue to grow in the next few episodes to come.

One Love,
