Take It Personal (Ep 182: Bob Power, You There?)

About this episode

This episode pays homage to the late Bob Power, highlighting his contributions to hip-hop and honoring his legacy.

On Episode 182 of Take It Personal Radio, we pay homage to the late, great Bob Power. More than an engineer, Bob was an architect of sound — helping shape the standard in hip-hop. From A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, Common, to De La Soul, his legacy is woven into the culture. This episode is dedicated to that legacy. At the break: we dive into Bob’s catalog, announce our Get On Down giveaway winners, and pay respects to another fallen soldier, Lord Sear. You’re listening to Take It Personal Radio — where hip-hop lives, legends are honored, and the music always speaks louder than words. 📸 Instagram: ⁠⁠@takeitpersonalradio⁠⁠ 🛒Store: ⁠⁠takeitpersonalradio-shop.fourthwall.com⁠⁠ 💖 Patreon: ⁠⁠patreon.com/TakeItPersonal⁠⁠ 🎧 Listen on: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts / iTunes⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon Music⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Pandora⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠iHeartRadio⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Player FM⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Podchaser⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Vevo YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠
