About this episode

The episode celebrates the 40th anniversary of Run-DMC's 'Raising Hell' while discussing Drake's latest release 'Iceman'.

40 Years of Heat and a Cold Comeback.In today’s episode, we’re bridging the gap between the architects and the icons. We kick things off by celebrating the 40th anniversary of Run-DMC’s Raising Hell—the album that gave Hip-Hop its global passport. We debate if the genre would even exist in its current form without that 1986 blueprint.Then, we shift to the present day: Drake is back with Iceman. Is this the redemption arc the 6-God needs to move past the Kendrick feud, or are we just witnessing the high-budget survival of a legacy act?Visit our team website for merchandise:www.primeshouse.com/shopBasement Talk's Social'sInstagram: Basementtalkpod https://www.instagram.com/basementtalkpod?igsh=MWRneTd6ZTZnOHBwaw==Facebook: Basement Talk Podcast https://www.facebook.com/groups/basementtalkpod/?ref=shareX/twitter: The Basement Talk Podcast https://x.com/BasementTalkPod?t=MM-B0Dr8bBwo9usSTfSQMg&s=09YouTube: The Basement Talk Pod https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq8P1Nm4qAILDP2WWSHeMfh4_JCP3EQIN&si=VHrSR2nbzYyXEGyJHost: Prime, Teddy, Ed, and MurkMusic by Greg-o DaBeatMakerFind episodes of The Basement Talk on all of your favorite listening platforms including Spotify, Apple…
