Welcome to another episode of the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, Scot and Kevin interview Eric Arnold, Oakland’s influential arts and culture journalist, and Scot’s longtime friend. We get into Eric’s history with hip hop and journalism, as well as what is going on in Oakland. There’s also a mad debate about whether or not Digable Planets’ Blowout Comb is a gangsta rap record. It gets heated! Tune in if you love Oakland and hip hop.
