Clipping: Splendor and Misery Pt.1

For this season of Run the Gamut, we've got a few grimy, head bopping hip hop albums.  Of course the diamond dice, in their infinite wisdom, have rolled one of the most unconventional boom bap records on this list.  The experimental, concept story of Clipping's "Splendor and Misery" is a heavy one, but there's work to do before we get to that.    In this Introductory episode, your PLAHBoys go through their history of Hip Hop music.  It's a fun L-train ride through the sights and sounds of hip hop in the 90s and 00's.  Your hosts don't stray too far, as we wrap this up with the history of the group Clipping.  We talk Daveed Diggs, Hamilton and Snipes & Hutson and the career of this strange Industrial/Hip Hop project.  We'll follow this one up with a track by track analysis of "Splendor and Misery" next week.  As always, enjoy the talk and let us know your hip hop history.    Pod Like a Hole Links: https://podlikeahole.podbean.com/ Direct Download Facebook (The only reason to visit that site) Instagram (Unfortunately, no pics of the hosts wearing short shorts)  Twitter (Not run by a foreign nation bot) Patreon (Until we muster up the courage for an OnlyFans site)  Artwork by Greg Wolgast   Video Links: ODB:  Shimmy Shimmy Yeah  https://youtu.be/h2zgB93KANE E-40  https://youtu.be/2GZbaXdK8Js DMX https://youtu.be/ThlhSnRk21E El-P https://youtu.be/2Zn5o-gxtFA Clipping: Visions of Bodies Being Burned  https://youtu.be/Whsfo9cYD-g Blood on the Fang  https://youtu.be/s9EsHbqmjN4 Wriggle (LIVE) https://youtu.be/tZjKj3UNk6o Captain Ahab - Snakes on the Brain https://youtu.be/eNt0_uSAJ24
