Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by the nicest Hip Hop cast you could assemble in one place - CHILDISH GAMBINO, RUN THE JEWELS, DANNY BROWN, OPEN MIKE EAGLE & JEAN GRAE!
Note: you might hear a different episode number in the intro - pay no mind - this is episode 622! ✌️
Listeners who got on board in more recent years might not be aware of the incredible XFM radio show that Pip used to host called 'The Beatdown'. It was totally essential listening for those with even a passing interest in Hip Hop and Rap, and if those were your chose specialist subjects, you would be spoiled by the riches contained within each episode. Interviews, special themed segments, live recordings, spoken word and poetry, it was all in there. This is producer Buddy typing and I was even a guest at one point, which was a true delight (and a rare treat to see Pip operating the set in real time).
Here is a collection of some classic moments from the shows, which all pre-date the Distraction Pieces Podcast mind you, where Pip gets in full interview mode and gets some marvellous results from the guests.
Here are some timecodes if you want them but do peep the whole ep in full, it's a total treat:
Childish Gambino • 4m 17s
Run The Jewels • 13m 25s
Danny Brown • 29m 41s
Open Mike Eagle • 38m 15s (phone interview)
Jean Grae • 52m 33s (phone interview)
Lovely stuff, a really great chance to hear some long lost treaures!
