The relationship rap/hip hop has with language, how rap/hip hop manipulates language, and how rap/hip hop creates it's own language.

Can't talk Top 5 without the homies! Won't drop all our choices, but 3 thoughts on the Class of 06: 1. Donuts and TM102 GOTTA MAKE THE LIST 2. Lupe's Food & Liquor and Dro's Best Thang Smokin' also dropped in 06 3. What about mixtapes? Dedication 2 & Chicken Talk were 🔥🔥🔥
I see some classics turning 20 next year. May have to "Circle The Block" on a few of them. What's your top 5 out of these albums?

Dr Dre The Chronic was a sonic revolution in Hip Hop! We had to circle the block on the groundbreaking impact of the album 'The Chronic'. How it captured the raw emotional landscape of Los Angeles during the 1992 riots and fundamentally transformed hip hop music.

We often hear random weights and measures in lyrics about drugs, good to hear one that makes mathematic sense. Might have to explore coke bars on an episode...

Marvin Yaye is full of 90s-00s song references, from Kid Cudi to producers Cool & Dre, but this bar sticks out. "411" is an obvious shout to Mary J Blige's debut album What's the 411?, but it's also a double entendre: 14 5 ounces = 411 grams.

"I made it 14 and a half ounces / The scale said 411 then Mary came on" could be my favorite bar of 2025, not only for Stove God's wit, but his accuracy

Did The Five Heartbeats help influence where Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right land in this year’s phrase rankings? Or will it come down to how you eat your oysters for The World Is Your Oyster? Season 5 comes to a close with our GOAT Phrase Rankings episode!

What makes this even greater is the hosts of The Library, @TheATPShow, and @CircleThe_Block been passing this meme around for a good season and a half
