"Same thing with Low-End Theory, as far as rap music goes and the era of albums that are pretty much flawless and you're able to listen to from front to back with zero issue, tells a great story the whole nine. These are going to go down in history as probably two of the best hip-hop albums ever made."Watch this moment

Every quote links to the moment in the episode."De La Soul Is Dead. Probably listen to this record a couple of thousand times in my life. I know it front to back."Watch this moment
"I tell this story on occasion about how this LP essentially was my kind of spiritual moment as a producer when I really started diving into this record, like truly diving into it and how it was all pieced together sonically, melodically, just the layering of samples. I really have like few words for this record and what it actually did for me as a producer and a DJ."Watch this moment
"I kind of went with the classics today. You know, Kool and the Gang is huge up there. This record is really exceptional. There's incredible songs on here. Dooji is an unbelievable song. Definitely one of the best Kool and the Gang LPs in my opinion for sure."Watch this moment
"Maggot Brain is just a flawless record from front to back. And it's not even like a funk soul kind of thing, you know what I mean? Like this really does transcend so much for music fans."Watch this moment
"There's a riot going on is one of those funk soul records that I think can be placed at any point in time as far as what the US goes through as far as grappling with its identity and all of its issues. It's just so timeless. It's such a perfect LP."Watch this moment
"I'm a hardcore Portishead fan. They're equally as hip-hop as they are electronic to me. The only difference really is that Beth is singing versus a rapper being on there."Watch this moment
"this record here that she did with Rustin Man is a really special record also. I remember when it came out and wasn't entirely sure how to take it cuz it was so different from Portishead stuff, but it's still her voice and the thing that Beth Gibbons' voice does really comes out beautifully. And this is, you know, just sad sad music and gorgeous at the same time."Watch this moment
