On today’s show, we’re joined in-studio by special guest Sean Ahern for a deep dive into the seminal 90s hip-hop track “N.Y. State of Mind” by the one and only Nas, aka Nasty Nas, aka the King of Queensbridge, and one of the great rap lyricists of all time. We’ll discuss the track in depth and take a look at his career as well as some of his hip-hop contemporaries in the history of New York rap and the genre as a whole.Follow Sean on Instagram“Halftime” on the Zebra Head SoundtrackNas’ track on Breaking Atoms by Main Source: “Live at the Barbecue”The “Yeah!” sample - from Mountain’s “Long Red”“It Ain’t Hard to Tell” DemoThe World Is Your’s Ahmad Jamal Trio sample: I Love MusicKool & the Gang “Live at P.J.s”The “Flight Time” Sample from Donald ByrdThe Joe Chambers song Mind RainTour by CapletonEric B and Rakim “Mahogany”Miss Info's podcast with Nas called “The BridgeA look at QueensbridgeA short history of Queensbridgegood aerial view (go to 1:58 - 2:27)All about the BerghofTo Scale: TimeUniverse Size ComparisonKey and Peele: What It’s Like Being Married to Neal DeGrasse TysonPlease subscribe to our YouTube ChannelFollow us on InstagramSubscribe to our other podcast, Beyond the Slipstream (it's about pro cycling, just fyi...)Follow Justin's gaming life in Instagram
