| Shots Fired Episode 43: “Control” and the Return of BEeFF | August 22, 2013 |
Before I let Kendrick finish, I need to point out that Janet Jackson’s “Control” remains the best “Control” of all-time. Joy Division probably is hanging tough at number two. For the latest episode of Shots Fired, the only hip-hop podcast inspired by a Chris Brown and Tank song, we welcomed back BEeFF. If you don’t […]
| Shots Fired Episode 41 with Peanut Butter Wolf | August 8, 2013 |
The illustrious Folerio paid a visit to Shots Fired headquarters in traffic-clotted downtown Hollywood. Better known as Peanut Butter Wolf to non-Polish audiences, Mr. Butter Wolf has ran arguably the best independent label of the last decade and a half. Maybe you heard of the little records with donuts and masked men on the covers. […]
| Shots Fired: Episode 37 – Magna Carta…Holy Fail | July 11, 2013 |
This photo screams for a caption contest. That’s what the comment section is for.

| Shots Fired Episode 29 – “Nothing But Net” with Wax | May 16, 2013 |
For our latest foolhardy adventure in the world of semi-professional talking, myself and Nocando welcomed Wax onto Shots Fired. If you’re unfamiliar with the Maryland-raised, LA-based rapper, he used YouTube to build himself into an indie-rap star and leveraged his fanbase and skill into a a deal with Def Jam. As most major label deals […]
| Shots Fired Episode 20: Back in the Day/Ain’t Your Momma Pretty ft. Self Jupiter of Freestyle Fellowship & Fatlip of The Pharcyde | March 14, 2013 |
Behold: the lone photo of me to ever appear on the Passion of the Weiss. In the words of the RZA on Wu-Tang Forever, this is like a comet. Or to paraphrase another eccentric superhero, once the face got revealed, game got real. The reason is that on the latest episode of Shots Fired, Nocando […]
The new Shots Fired episode on Earwolf examines Chicago rap from Common to Chief Keef and all points in between. Because Nocando and I are Los Angeles bored and bred, we brought in Tal Rosenberg, the online editor of the Chicago Reader and Open Mike Eagle, the South Side-raised online editor of art rap. Or […]
