Take It Personal Radio
On November 2, 2016 The ”Take It Personal” Podcast was launched as the Golden Era and boom-bap-focused podcast to beat all Podcasts. Broadcasting all the way live from Del Boca Vista and brought to you by the Philaflava crew, who founded one of Complex Magazine’s ”Top 10 Most Influential Hip-Hop Message Boards,” well as authoritative subject matter blogs, T.R.O.Y and ”Steady Bloggin’,” the show and its brand of witty nuance and authentic reverence courtesy of co-hosts Jason Gloss, Kevlar, DJ 360, A-Aron and Roger The Announcer is here to fill the nostalgia void in your heart.

If rock music isn’t your thing, this episode probably isn’t either — and that’s fine. We’ve got 176 others waiting for you. But if you live for great records, bold ideas, and the kind of genre-bending that Danger Mouse mastered and the legendary DJ Spinbad (R.I.P.) made feel effortless, you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.
Big Pun over Journey. Biggie over Pink Floyd. Scarface over The Eagles. A Tribe Called Quest over Jimi ...
We hit you with the bangers in Part 1… But Part 2? That’s the one for the real heads.
It seems like Part 2s are always the fan favorites — more obscure, more cohesive, more personal. We came out swinging for the masses last time, but this round, we’re diving deep. The music isn’t in strict chronological order, but it feels like a journey — from Pac’s earliest work all the way to Makaveli. You’ll hear the deep album cuts, the rare ...
We’re closing out our 1992 Tribute series with the 5th and final installment—and we’re throwing everything at you. This episode is packed with joints from Kwame, Rough House Survivors, Young Black Teenagers, Home Team, Chi-Ali, Hard Knocks, MC Serch, Mobb Deep, The Brand New Heavies, and Gang Starr. We’re also showing some southern love with tracks from Willie D, Bushwick Bill, Gangst...
On this flashback of Take It Personal Radio, we're hitting you with a remastered version of our Black Thought Tribute combing both episode 68 and 69, including our exclusive Black Thought interview.
Black Thought isn't just one of our favorites, he is arguably the greatest living rapper in t...
8 years ago today, we produced our 2-part DJ Premier Tribute. Many discovered Take It Personal because of this episode. Some will say this is our magnum opus. So, it’s only right the greatest producer of all-time receives the greatest tribute of all-time.
It was no easy feat selecting and sequencing tracks for this massive 380+ minute show. We hope after listening to the incredible Work of Mart homage, you'll agree, DJ Premier is...
On this flashback of Take It Personal, we're hitting you with a combined remastered version of episodes 29 & 30, our Native Tongues Tribute. This 12+ hour episode features music from the most important, and influential hip-hop collective we've ever seen.
On this flashback of Take It Personal, we're hitting you with a special tribute to celebrate the life and the career of Prodigy of Mobb Deep. We combined parts 1 and 2 for this remastered episode.
We have 5 extraordinary guests, each one sharing unique, personal stories about Prodigy. Shouts out to DJ Premier, Bonz Malone, Meyhem Lauren, D...
On this flashback of Take It Personal Radio, we're hitting you with a remastered edition of Episode 67, our album spotlight on the timeless Beatnut's classic Street Level. It's been 4 years since we recorded this episode and our feelings about this album haven't changed a bit. We got to relive this classic album track-by-track with special guests Al' Tariq aka Kool Fashion and Psych...
Our 2nd anniversary show we featured a phenomenal New Jack Swing tribute. As if 90s R&B wasn't already the best, thanks to guys like Teddy Riley, Dr. Freeze, and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, we were blessed with this amazing style better known as New Jack Swing. We usually stick to hip-hop on Take It Personal, but given the nature of our anniversary show, we had to freak a little s...
Episode 6 is our longest one yet and for good reason. This isn't your typical Philly hip-hop show, this is the official Philly hip-hop tribute show. Chock-full of Illadelph classics, along with our special tour guides Vinnie Paz, Maylay Sparks, Baby Blak, CHOPS, Todd Wolfe and MarQ Spekt to help navigate you through the two one fifth. Unlike the ewoks, our episode VI won't disappoint. So whether you're from Philly, know of Philly o...
The Miami Bass movement was extremely prominent in the 80s and 90s, thanks to legendary artists like 2 Live Crew, MC Shy D, Planet Patrol, Gucci Crew, Anquette, Poison Clan and Clay D. The DJ’s also played a significant role in the movement as well, like Mr. Mixx, DJ Magic Mike, DJ Laz, Uncle Al, Jam Pony Express, Felix Sama, Power Supply and Jealous J (Jim Jonsin).
One of my favorite tributes on Take It Personal has been our West Coast Classic series. Many years ago, on West Coast Classics III (episode 16), we dropped this 2Pac mini-mix.
It's no secret that I'm a huge Pac fan. I know that's really not something people who love Kool Keith or MF DOOM willingly admits, but I ...
