| Shots Fired Episode 9 – The Fall Off Episode | December 21, 2012 |
For the last Shots Fired of the year, Nocando and I had on Paul Iannacchino as our guest. Paul is the director of “Adult Rappers,” a documentary film about what it’s like to be a grown man and still rapping. A good portion of the episode was spent making jokes about Brian Pumper, the only […]
| Shots Fired – Episode 8: The Best of 2012 | December 13, 2012 |
Due to technical difficulties, which may or may not be technical, our Top 50 Hip Hop Songs and Best Albums list won’t drop until next week. What else can I do, all apologies. I believe Paul McCartney wrote that. As a minor recompense, there’s the new episode of Shots Fired, where Nocando and I talk […]
| Shots Fired Episode 7: The Dub Anniversary of The Chronic | December 6, 2012 |
Next week is the 20th Anniversary of The Chronic. If you’re old enough to remember copping the tape back in 1992, that sentence alone is enough to make you feel ancient. When I did an imperfect Internet survey five years ago, The Chronic ranked as the fifth greatest rap album ever. In last month’s LA […]
| Shots Fired Episode 6: The Beef Episode w/ Guests BEeff | November 29, 2012 |
This might be my favorite episode yet. If you were allowed to have objective favorites of a thing that you do. I feel like each episode of Shots Fired is like one of my children — who I can’t wait to kick out and never speak to again once they’re 18. The summary is below: […]
| Shots Fired Episode 5: White Rappers | November 23, 2012 |
Because on Black Friday, there’s nothing less appropriate than a podcast devoted to white rappers. The Earwolf description is below because I can’t remember a word that I said: “Detroit DJ/producer House Shoes and LA rapper Busdriver join Nocando & Jeff Weiss this week to discuss white rappers. The guys talk about the origins of […]
| Shots Fired Podcast: The Ratchet Episode | November 8, 2012 |
The third episode of the Shots Fired Podcast with myself and Nocando is now live. I’ll let the show description do the leg work: “On this week’s episode of Shots Fired, Jeff Weiss & Nocando discuss the phenomenon of ratchet. The duo talk about the many definitions of ratchet, Lil Boosie’s connection to the origin […]
| The Shots Fired Podcast w/ Jeff Weiss & Nocando | November 1, 2012 |
Should you not follow me on Twitter (the horror), you may not have noticed that I am hosting a new weekly podcast on the ferocious Ear Wolf network (Comedy Bang Bang, SklarBro Country, Totally Laime). My co-host is the irrepressible Nocando of Low End Theory and Hellfyre Club fame. The latest episode is live now, […]
