Today is a big one for the show. First of all, it turns 3 today. Oh, and also, I finally FINALLY get to talk about my favorite soundtrack of all time, ABOVE THE RIM--which just so happens to also soundtrack a very good movie. Oh, and ALSO, I'm joined by the very funny duo that makes up the Third Time's the Charm podcast, Coley Mick (@ColeyMick) and Tyler (you know him as Trill Withers, or @TylerIAm on Twitter), who bring their knowledge of basketball and horny R&B music for a very funny episode.
In this episode we talk about Tupac's charismatic menace as Birdie, the very well-done basketball scenes, Wood Harris, and in a first for the show, we talk about the soundtrack for even longer than we talk about the movie itself. And what a soundtrack it is. Besides the monster singles (Regulate and Afro Puffs), it has a mix of sunny R&B, more great rap offerings (including my favorite Tupac song of all time, Pain), another of my all-time favorite 90s soundtrack songs (Blowed Away by B Rezell) and a smattering of very horny songs to keep things honest. And the entire soundtrack is available on all streaming services, including the 3 songs that you could only find on the cassette version of the soundtrack. Which is something I talk about at great length in the episode. But you'll have to listen to the episode to hear it. Don't do it for me. Do it for Nutso.
