Panel: GRANT BODY-P! @jjmusiclover75 @the.real.bigo and @djshadfather85!
If you love the @phillyfreeway classic like we do, THIS SHOW IS FOR YOU!
We speak on the TRUE 2003 Classic, our favourite tracks and stories surrounding this album!
In February 2003, 50 Cent took the Hip Hop world by storm with his album 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. With this Dr.Dre endorsed album, he was tipped to be the next megastar after Eminem, and while that was the case to some degree, there was a minority who did not fully see the hype behind 50 Cent. Grant Body-P! was one of them because back in 1999, 50 Cent actually made his debut on the Madd Rapper album with a track entitled 'How To Rob' which was a play on what he would do robbing the greatest Hip Hop acts at the time, Grant was not impressed, especially when 50 talked about the Wu-Tang negatively in that track...
While everybody was on the 50 Cent hype train, Something quietly in comparison was happening at Roc-A-Fella records. Freeway was next to drop his album 'Philadelphia Freeway' and it was not met with the same hype machine that 50 Cent had, when the album dropped a few weeks after 50, it would slowly emerge as the untold classic, and over time and longevity, this album as aged very well While 50 is nowadays known as a high profile internet troll and genius behind the Power TV Show, Freeway remains the ever respected MC. And on RePPiN4U, we give Freeway his flowers.
