S3E10 - Hip-hop: Puff Daddy (Overrated) & Jurassic 5 (Underrated) - with Kobi Omenaka

Joined by the talented Kobi Omenaka - a podcaster, digital marketing specialist, consultant and teacher - we're finally diving into a genre we're not so knowledgeable about, hip-hop.

Puff Daddy a.k.a. P Diddy a.k.a. Puffy a.k.a. Diddy a.k.a. Sean Combs was incredible successful in the late 90s and 00s - but is his fame deserved, should he be better known as a tastemaker rather than a rapper?

We also learn a lot more about alternative hip-hop legends Jurassic 5, who Babs affectionately dubs "The Gilmore Girls of rap".

Check out Kobi's work, especially the Flixwatcher podcast and The Wire: Stripped. And do yourselves a favour: watch Puff Daddy's batshit music videos as well as the excellent Come With Me. 

The Cardinal Burns 'Old School vs. New School Rap' sketch is on YouTube - as is the Mark Ronson 'How sampling transformed music' TED Talk.
