This month we're doing things a little differently. In this episode we are celebrating Hip Hop's 50th Birthday by each choosing our favourite Hip Hop album.

Armond & Doc are back and they're breaking down the discography of De La Soul.  In this week's free preview, they go in-depth on 3 Feet High & Rising and De La Soul Is Dead, two classics from what many refer to as hip-hop's "golden age".  To hear the rest of the conversation plus a lot more, become a subscriber today at patreon.com/crspodcast.

Dear Culture kicks off Black Music Month with an epic debate that covers everyone from Nas and Lauryn Hill to Ice Cube and Drake. Both self-proclaimed hip-hop heads, host Panama Jackson and veteran music journalist Touré can't seem to agree on pretty much anything.

In Part 1 we explore the mesmerising (but opinion dividing) 2nd album by Kelela, 'Raven'.   In Part 2 we play 'Spin it or bin it?' ... but do we really? The theme this month is our favourite De La Soul tracks ... is anyone really going to bin a De La Soul track?

Part 1 | Album of the Month | Kelela | Raven

It's Joey's choice this month and we're focusing on an intriguing, vibe of an album called Raven by Ethopian-American artist Kelela. It's 15 tracks, over an hour and plays out like a late-90s, early-00's post club mix tape. There's lots of opinions on this album, in the critical sphere they're almost universally (really) positive, the album being on of the best reviewed albums of the year. However, its a 100%, unquestioning love-in on This Is Not Happening.

• Go listen to the album - Here
• Go watch some videos - Here
• Go buy some of their stuff - Here

A few 'Raven' that we highly recommend checking out;

• A really interesting review of the album by BPM - Here
• 'Unmistakably Black' interview with Mixmag - Here
• Live Jimmy Fallen performance of 'Enough for Love' - Here

Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | De La Soul tribute

After the sad passing of Trugoy the Dove, we pay tribute to De La Soul. This is the 1st time that the question 'spin it or bin it' is completely redundant.

1. Nolan chose - Stakes is High
2. Guy chose - So No Go
3. David chose - Trying People
4. Joey chose - I am I be

Check out our 16 track De La Soul tribute playlist (4 tracks each) can be found - Here (this is a good one!)

Next Month

In part 1 Nolan brings 'Fuse' by Everything But the Girl as our Album of the Month, in Part 2 we play 'Spin it or bin it' with new tracks for the last 3 months.

On this week's show, we...

• bid adieu to Trugoy the Dove as a whole new generation gets ready to discover De La Soul 
• nerd out over the reissue of Marshall Crenshaw's 1982 debut 
• spend quality time with new records by Fucked Up & Yo La Tengo 

All this & much, much less!

Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is over 2 rock-solid hours of musical eclectica & other noodle stories. The show started in 2003 at WHFR-FM (Dearborn, MI), moved to WGWG-FM (Boiling Springs, NC) in 2006 & Plaza Midwood Community Radio (Charlotte, NC) in 2012, with a brief pit-stop at WLFM-FM (Appleton, WI) in 2004.

Pressure is the essence of diamonds and we are 14 karats, baby.  Against all odds, we found a time to record an episode together in person (7 hours before this is released). Michael gets a glow up for the premiere of his show, Animal Control (this Thursday on Fox).  Max went to Minneapolis- the hecklers were plenty and the gams were visible.  Hammered- the big dogs. Woof woof, arf arf.   You can let your freak flag fly in the Mall of America- celebrate your birthday in the corporate center of the planet: Bloomington, Minnesota.  This episode is flashy, and you already know that's because we're talking fashion: welcome In the Minivan on the Runway, the most dangerous fashion show of all time.  We canonize Clark Franzman: the patron saint of chest hair.
