#170 - The 14s (10th Anniversary LPs) Pt. 5

Join us for another episode of WorkTape as we dive back into 2014, a year packed with the gritty storytelling on Schoolboy Q’s "Oxymoron", the GRAMMY success of Lecrae’s career-defining "Anomaly", and the smooth, yet, hard-hitting collaboration of Freddie Gibbs and Madlib on "Piñata". We also explore the hauntingly beautiful indie-electronica sounds of Phantogram’s "Voices" and the laid-back 60s/70s-era charm of Real Estate’s "Atlas". Tune in for an engaging discussion on how these albums left their mark on music.Episode Highlights:How did Schoolboy Q’s Oxymoron cement a new era for West Coast hip-hop?What significance did Anomaly end up playing in the entirety of Lecrae’s career?Was Run the Jewels 2 the most dynamic hip-hop collaboration of the 2010s?Did Carlos Dengler’s absence bottleneck the artistry of Interpol’s El Pintor?Has Parquet Courts' Sunbathing Animal lived up to the hype?How did Phantogram’s Voices blend trip-hop and electronic influences into indie music?
