Let the Record Show Ep. 15: Evidence Interview

Let the Record Show, the crate-dug interview series in which artists discuss their favorite songs of all time as the tracks spin on vinyl, wraps up its second season today with the final episode of 2018, featuring Dilated Peoples / Rhymesayers Entertainment emcee/producer Evidence, aka Michael Perretta.

"The thing about rapping slow is you have nothing to hide behind (fast rap gimmicks), its a matter of if you can say enough dope shit." - Truly God Tier Quote by Evidence

Brings back memories of hanging out at the "Word Up Show" studio in the late 90s and hearing tons of Evidence/Dilated tracks. Easily the greatest era in independent hiphop and a legendary college radio show...Chris

They look kind of similar to the G-Unit Reeboks too, I wonder if that's where 50 pulled inspiration from when he made those!!!

It’s funny my love for hip hop comes from video. But as I grew up video changed and I began to crave mostly the audio. I used to tape all these videos. This list is like a vhs cassette lost to time.
