Suckas (Episode 73 | feat. Hashim)

About this episode

The episode features Hashim discussing Public Enemy's album while addressing previous podcast narratives.

Today's episode has that classic feel written all over it. The homie Hashim crashes the pod just in time to talk one of D Gut's favorite albums for Black History Month- Public Enemy's "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" (62:57), but not before the guys take time to address a few of the long-running narratives in the previous episodes. Not to spoil the randomness for today, but Ja Rule, Tony Yayo, T.I., 50 Cent, Chris Rock, and A$AP Rocky all make appearances before the grand finale; Hashim and Gut finally circle back for clarity concerning one of the pod's earlier, more controversial moments... thanks to Ice Cube's "Death Certificate." Enjoy your time with Empty Crates!
