On this flashback of Take It Personal Radio, we're hitting you with a remastered version of episode 50, our Hieroglyphics Tribute. This was a mammoth one. We've got special guests Slug, Murs, Apathy, J-Zone, The Grouch & Breakbeat Lou stopping by. We interview Del, Domino, Casual & Tajai and they've got stories for days!

Del talks about doing shrooms with Q-Tip to Casual freestyling with Pharoahe Monch at the Gavin. We touch on Casual vs. Saafir and the impact it had on battle rap. We unfortunately find out Ice Cube wasn’t a fan of Gang Starr and thought Kool Keith was too weird. Del explains what it was like not only being cousins with Ice Cube, but their musical similarities and his involvement earlier on in his career.

We learn about Del’s feelings towards the Gorillaz, while Domino breaks down just about every Hiero collaboration imaginable. We talk I Wish My Brother George Was Here, ’93 Til Infinity, No Need For Alarm, Fear Itself, Like It Should Be and No Man’s Land. We discuss their rap dominance prior to being dropped by the label. Tajai’s breaks down his feelings towards the group’s sophomore album and the importance of each album sounding different.

This episode can be a slow burn or a fast one, but we all know Hiero is til infinity!

Mickey Diamond, Rahim Samad, Truth By Design, Vice Souletric, Recognize Ali, Kurious, Diamond D, Awon & Phoniks, Paradox & DJ Sean P, Apathy, ALYX Ryon & Jumbled to name a few.

On this flashback of Take It Personal Radio, we're hitting you with a remastered version of our Black Thought Tribute combing both episode 68 and 69, including our exclusive Black Thought interview.

Black Thought isn't just one of our favorites, he is arguably the greatest living rapper in the game. And despite where he might be on your top list, there is no doubt that after you listen to our Black Thought Tribute, he'll be bumped up in your ranking.

We discuss the Streams of Thought albums. We discuss working with Danger Mouse and the late Kobe Bryant, as well as the upcoming musical he wrote and will be starring in titled "Black No More". We find out if there's a new Roots album on it's way, delve into some Roots stories such as Malik B, Razhel, getting signed to Geffen and what the "actual" release date was for "Do You Want More?!!!??!". We talk Philly, food, classic hip-hop and much, much more.

We recorded this prior to the passing of Malik B.
