Ep.71 - Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth

<p>Mount Vernon, NY was never a hotbed when it came to Hip-Hop talent. If you were about Hip-Hop, you were usually born &amp; bred in the Five Boroughs. But Pete Rock &amp; CL Smooth were an anomaly. Their work, while slim pickings next to other duos such as OutKast &amp; GangStarr are some of the highest quality works you can ask for. Two albums &amp; one EP of wonderful Hip-Hop that epitomises the Golden Age.</p><p>TIMESTAMPS:<br>Weekly Music Roundup - (2:25)<br>Topic Intro/Ben's Research Corner - (18:12)<br>Mecca &amp; The Soul Brother - (27:46)<br>The Main Ingredient - (42:34)<br>Breakup &amp; Final Thoughts - (59:37)<br>Lighter Note - (1:12:47)</p><p>Thanks for listening.
