Having a hip hop legend and encyclopedia on your morning show can only result in brain growth. We were pleased to chop it up with R.A. The Rugged Man and get schooled on some hip hop knowledge by someone who could only do it like he could.

In response to R.A. The Rugged Man’s interview with DJ Vlad in which he called 1988-1989 the Golden Era of Hip Hop, we sought to challenge the opinion. What we got was one of the most engaging and knowledgable discussions in hip hop that we’ve had in quite some time, and we’re honored to present the recorded interview for people to soak up game.

R.A. also talks about his current projects, including the “Media Midgets” music video and the album Legends Never Die (Featuring Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko on “Holla-Loo-Yuh”).
