50. Jay-Z: The Blueprint (2001)

(Aaron's audio was not great on the first half of this show. He swears he fixed it!)    We are now the best Jay-Z podcast! This is the podcast where we are talking about The Blueprint!  We (kind of) talk about our first CDs, scavenger hunts, and thirst on TikTok.    We go through the newest Olympic sport of online dating, how we rebel as adults, and we talk about the glory of Rumpshaker by Wreckx-n-Effect, and Rob has to explain a number of jokes.  Matt talks about drinking in North Dakota and we talk about respecting Tina Turner.    Then we get into the album, talk Diss Tracks and the return of samples. Then THE BIG BOPPER comes back and Russ makes a list about the day the music died and we somehow make it funny (?)    Reach out at call us at the beck line (I fixed it) at 802-277-BECK and follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and tik tok at @beckdiditbetter.
