For Music's Sake Ep. 4 "Reasonable Doubt"

Sy asserts that, (07:45) "gangsta music" plus "pimp music" equals "hustle music".  Ky breaks some the anticipatory  nature and syncopation of Politics as Usual production (26:50). We also talk about why we prefer hooks and choruses that are "clean" (01:00:39) and how we admire Jay-z's mentorship and brotherly love shown to a young Memphis Bleek (01:15:00). It's worth being said "one mo' 'gain"; Memphis Bleek sounds incredible! Check out Episode 4.5 for the overall album review!
