They Reminisce Over You Podcast

Episode Summary

On this episode we're discussing one of the greatest albums in hip hop history, JAŸ-Z’s debut album, Reasonable Doubt, on its 30th anniversary. Before the album dropped in 1996, Jay was building his name through early collabs with Jaz-O (“Hawaiian Sophie,” “The Originators”) Big Daddy Kane (“Show & Prove”) and Original Flavor (“Can I Get Open?”) as well as his own singles (“In My Lifetime,” “In My Lifetime” Remix, “I Can’t Get Wid Dat” and “Dead Presidents”). We get into how these songs helped to shape his sound, talk about our favorite songs from Reasonable Doubt, discuss how the production helped to set the tone of the album, touch on who JAŸ-Z was at the time, and how it differs from the JAŸ-Z we would come to know in later years.
