Lol these dudes, they basically started the hiphop podcast thing.
I remember when they had Combat Jack on their show like 7 years ago.

Is it a good show that you should go back and listen to?

 

[Deltron]

they're still pretty corny and sound but they've had some good guests. I only check the episode if I think the guest will be good.

The 1st time Beans touched a studio was not Reservoir Dogs, it was The Roots - Adrenaline

2:57



Lenny S. should know this

 

[Young/Nacho\Drawz]

Isn't he like one of the guys that Jay pays to just be around to always talk good about him and the Reasonable Doubt album?
You know like Clark Kent and Young Guru?
If he is one of Jay's paid shills then I don't want to listen to him and I damn sure don't want to listen to two s.

Beans did not bring in the rest of State Property either

If I hadn't heard Jay callin this dudes name out for years, I'd think he never really worked at Roc-A-Fella

His stories are full of holes

Yeah I stopped listening a while back and only pick up stray eps with dope guests too.

this wasn't as interesting as i thought it was going to be.
in fact...wasn't really interesting at all.

liked the early street team story and the bit about Fat Joe knowing that Lenny was from the Bronx so told someone that knew him and told Lenny to watch out if he was driving the Rocafella promo Benz around the Bronx.
