Episode 221- Do Your Research with guests Lance Scott Walker & Paul Cantor
from Dad Bod Rap Pod · host Dad Bod Rap Pod
DBRP is your go-to source for engaging interviews with the authors of prominent hip-hop books and this week we have a double dose of conversation hot off the presses. First up Lance Scott Walker, author of DJ Screw A Life In Slow Revolution joins us from Texas to discuss his book's intriguing structure and to recommend the definitive Screw track for us relative novices. Then we have a conversation with Paul Cantor, author of Most Dope: The Extraordinary Life of Mac Miller, as well as Paul's long career as a prominent music journalist. We really enjoyed speaking with both of these gentlemen, and talking with them about their process and the initial reaction to their books' announcements shows a heavy skepticism from artists' online fan communities that boils down to one very serious question: Who is allowed to write biographies of artists who are no longer with us? We talk about that a bit in the segments. Beats this week were submitted by K from Father Hoods Podcast and we appreciate the contribution. DBRP (and Father Hoods for that matter) are part of the Stony Island Audio podcast network.
