The Ave Podcast – Fugees’ The Score @ 25

The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 146: Fugees’ The Score @ 25

Today on The Ave Podcast, we’re calling on the spirits of Flashback Friday as we discuss one of the great albums in music history. Twenty-Five years tomorrow, The Fugees (comprised of Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill, and Pras) released their second album on Ruffhouse/Columbia Records “The Score”. The album was released during the height of one of the most tumultuous periods in Hip Hop yesterday, but The Score went on to not only outsell every album in it’s genre, the impact was felt way beyond North America. With the group’s stunning mastery of their own style (which was Hip Hop-R&B-Caribbean influenced at minimum), the album went on to sell over 6 million copies in the USA alone, and over 20 million worldwide. However, the group members went their separate ways (almost chaotically) & never made another follow up album to their legendary masterpiece. I’m joined by DJ Chris Nice & DJ Keo as we discuss the legendary album; inquire if Lauryn was actually the greatest talent in the last 30 years; the Fugees downfall & if successful groups are designed to last; the power of Ego; plus we share our Top 3 songs; the importance of “Killing Me Softly” for the group, and how it forever changed their careers, and so much more.

The Ave Podcast – The Greatest Two Weeks In Hip Hop. Ever.

2 Replies

The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 57: The Greatest Two Weeks In Hip Hop. Ever.

Today on The Ave Podcast, we take you back down memory lane to discuss the greatest two week stretch in Hip Hop history. On Nov. 9, 1993, two iconic albums were released on the same day, A Tribe Called Quest’s 3rd album Midnight Marauders, and Wu-Tang Clan’s debut album Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers. Both albums went on help usher in a new era, and became two of the most influential bodies of work in the genre. If that wasn’t enough, exactly two weeks later Snoop Doggy Dogg released his debut album Doggystyle, which followed the same path as the two albums before it, and launched Snoop into superstardom.

I invite DJ Chris Nice (Grooves & Rhythms Mixshow, Fridays from 2 – 4PM on MyLime Radio) & Dennis Barham (Actor) as we discuss these three albums, the peak of Hip Hop’s Golden Era, how the ’93-’94 stretch may have represented the best 2-year period that ever existed in the genre, plus a ton more. Please enjoy.

The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee – The 20th Anniversary of Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt

2 Replies

Welcome once again to The Ave Podcast. In the spirit of #FlashbackFriday, we take you back to the musical Golden Era of 90’s music to celebrate one of the Greatest albums in Hip Hop history. Twenty years ago tomorrow (June 25, 1996), smack in the middle of a East Coast – West Coast Beef led by Bad Boy and Death Row Records, Shawn Carter otherwise known as Jay-Z, dropped his debut album “Reasonable Doubt”. At the time, it was highly viewed as a critically acclaimed album. As time went along, it’s now regarded as a masterpiece and one of the best Hip Hop Albums that has even been made.

Today we welcome back our guest & past contributor to South Shore Ave Shawn Adonis (The Notorious B.I.G.’s Ready To Die, Episode 3 of The Ave), as we discuss our favorite songs from the album (what’s said about one song in particular may shock you), if this truly qualifies as Jay-Z’s greatest album, and how it ranks among our all-time Hip Hop albums.
