The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 247: 20th Anny of Outkast “Speakerboxx/The Love Below” #20Years

Today on a special edition of The Ave Podcast, we celebrate one of the crown masterpiece albums of the 21st Century. During the fourth quarter of 2003, Oukast released their 5th album, Speakerboxx/The Love Below, which was not only their most popular & best selling album, but it went on to win multiple Grammys, including the most coveted Album of The Year. I’m joined by friends of the podcast DJ Chris Nice & DJ Keo as we break down our initial impressions of Outkast; the importance of the releasing The Way You Move & Hey Ya! as the lead singles for the project; the enigma that is Andre 3000; if we as fans truly allow artists to veer from their well known path; plus we break down the lost opportunities that Outkast are giving up by not touring; and so much more than this. Way more actually. Please enjoy…

The Ave Podcast – 20th Anniversary of Stillmatic

The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 181: 20th Anniversary of Stillmatic

On the latest edition of The Ave Podcast, we break down one of the greatest albums of the 21st Century (for the culture). On Dec. 18, 2001, in the midst of the middle of one of the biggest Hip Hop beefs ever, you know when they say, the Rose that grew from the concrete? Well, through the back & forth beef with Jay-Z, as well as beefing with Rocafella Records (Jay-Z’s record label), and the critics turning on him, Nas ended up creating the acclaimed Stillmatic, his 4th studio album. The album re-solidified Nas’ name as one of the true Kings of the genre, going on to sell over two million records based off the success. Among other accolades, it also achieved one of the highest honours bestowed on an Hip Hop artist’s work: It achieved the mythical 5 Mics status in The Source Magazine. I’m joined by Justis from Beats By Bruises, DJ/Producer DJ Keo, and SSA Family Member Shawn Adonis, as we discuss how important this album was for Nas’ career; Takeover vs. Ether and what it meant for Hip Hop; share our Top 3 songs from the album; and much more.
