Show Notes
1989 was a year soooo fine in hip-hop. Queen Latifah was right at the top of the class with her debut album All Hail the Queen. DJ Mark the 45 King chose some elite samples to pair with Queen Latifah's buttery smooth flows. Packed with empowering bars, and what's that?...an electro club jam? Well, I'll be. Hilary and Cody marvel at the production of this album, the elegance of those who grace the mic, and the total radiance of Queen Latifah!

Sometimes we get to tell wonderful stories about cool people. Amidst all the scumminess of the music industry, there do exist the real ones. We talk about one of the realest - Wayne Shorter - and his unbelievable record "Speak No Evil". With a lineup whose collective resumes are longer than two CVS receipts, this album bridges Shorter's timeline - connecting the past, present, and future while still sounding entirely unique. It's haunting, vulnerable, cool, and sweet. Pretty much all ways you could also describe Wayne Shorter. God, I wish we could have been friends!

Set the controls on full fuckin' blast, we are headed into the universe of whenever - somewhere in the future...except it's happening right now on this week's episode! Cody and Hilary hold on for dear life breaking down Dylan Brady and Laura Les' genreless and genre defining 1000 gecs. It's just weird, man, in a great way. Go listen for yourself, you'll see, and then you'll come back to it out of curiosity, then because it's just so damn catchy, and finally, because it has so. much. heart.

We don't do parental advisories here, because we're cool. But if we did, this week's episode would be plastered with warnings so the youths' ears are not exposed to the intense, raw, unfiltered glory that is Lil' Kim's "Hard Core". Kim unflinchingly tackles basically everything to do with her sexuality with candor far ahead of its time. "Hard Core" is really the only title befitting the debut album from one of hip-hop's pioneers. Check out everything we have going on via the info below: Instagram: @earwaxpod
Hey, enjoy this episode of Music This Week. Because next week, you won't have one to enjoy. Why? How dare you pry. Don't fret, it'll only be a one week absence. But for now, enjoy Spencer guiding the EarWax crew along a stable of new releases, a follow-up to a story from last week, oh and William Shatner making a metal album. That'll be great. For sure it will be. Check out everything we have going on via the info below: Instagram: @earwaxpod
