admin 330 Posted March 7, 2012 Jensen Karp is one of the most advanced chartists we've ever had on the podcast. As a rapper, designer, writer, and taste maker, his musical knowledge runs deep and we're thrilled to learn from him. He waxes poetic on the Best Hip-Hop Dis Songs, gets poppy with the Top Pop Star Film Debuts, and makes it personal with Hermes the Chart Goose. This is probably the only podcast where you can learn about brain tumors AND Sisqo's porn collection, so get up on this! Share this post Link to post
DITP 6 Posted March 7, 2012 The host of one of my favorite podcasts guesting on one of my other favorite podcasts?! This is a pre-Summah miracle. Share this post Link to post
primeroach 2 Posted March 7, 2012 i had to pause this episode at every song mention to hit up youtube. Thank you, Jensen. Share this post Link to post
Lukas Holmes 2287 Posted March 7, 2012 You could tell Howard really had a great time on this one. Really interesting look back at some things about hip-hop I didn't know. Going to be looking up Jensen's podcast for sure. Share this post Link to post
WillisJames 21 Posted March 7, 2012 Such a great episode. Thanks Jensen for all the cool stories. Share this post Link to post
andrewmarvell 34 Posted March 7, 2012 This episode was amazing. I want to hang out with Howard and Jensen and listen to those tapes. Share this post Link to post
Anchor Management 36 Posted March 7, 2012 Aw yeah! I've been a fan of Jensen since the Hype Men podcast (R.I.P.) and he does have one of the best Twitter accounts around. Plus his industry insider stories are such a treat, which make for such an entertaining episode. Hopefully Howard will show up on Get Up On This soon to continue the great Drake debate. 1 Share this post Link to post
KevinRiegle 17 Posted March 7, 2012 Not really from this episode, but just watched via fuckyeahwhocharted.tumblr.com It is really weird to watch Howard do the Lee impression. The Lee voice existed as its own entity in my mind, so it is odd as hell to see it coming out of Howard's face. Share this post Link to post
jarshall 25 Posted March 7, 2012 fuck off with the Swollen Members shit. hahah. i'm from Toronto, we all know they're garbage up here every commercial break where Howard pauses on "and remember..." reminds me of this scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RV1JHn7hYY\ @ :52 1 Share this post Link to post
tbx59 35 Posted March 7, 2012 This was like being 15 and walking into a graduate level course. I know about a 4 year stretch of hip hop and then 30 minutes of deep hip hop talk - I was lost. 1 Share this post Link to post
ZachCoty 5 Posted March 7, 2012 This episode was so good it brought Summah to Buffalo. It's 60 and sunny out of nowhere today. Thanks guys! Share this post Link to post
katisue 0 Posted March 7, 2012 Shout out to Newsies! Santa Fe was the place Christian Bale kept singing about. It's hard to forget it with that distinct Christian Bale-ian brooklyn accent he sang in. Great episode. Jensen Karp was a deeee-light to listen to. -Gallery 1988 fan Share this post Link to post

Pants Masterson 81 Posted March 7, 2012 Awesome ep, but any conversation about of early, seminal white rappers that does not draw heavily on MC 900 Foot Jesus is a conversation wasted. Share this post Link to post
sauze 111 Posted March 7, 2012 Here in Winnipeg, despite not having anything to do with Swollen Members I must say I'm also embarrassed. Share this post Link to post
ragnar 23 Posted March 7, 2012 Howard -- My friends and I love the Gravediggaz record! I remember listening to that in highschool. Also I agree w/ Hot Karl's choice for the canibus track as best diss track.. i can recite the whole thing from memory PS Drake sux 3 Share this post Link to post
cmdesh 1 Posted March 8, 2012 Pras was my favorite fugee!!! still the only one i like! Share this post Link to post
Shannon 2953 Posted March 8, 2012 Oh man. This episode was like it was in a foreign language.. but I was glued. Just about everything anyone said was a new concept to me until they got to "Degrassi Junior High" and then I was gone again. I'm really going to listen to this again and open up YouTube like primeroach suggested and treat this like a lecture. I want to get an A in Hip Hop History class. Share this post Link to post
tbx59 35 Posted March 8, 2012 Early shows being Rhianna multiple times, whatever the hell dub step is, a symposium on hip hop. Let's get a punk or metal show Share this post Link to post
raxozellet 86 Posted March 8, 2012 As a massive hip hop fan I loved this episode! I was disappointed to hear "The Takeover" as the number one diss song. I would have gone with Karp's choice "2nd Round Knockout" by Canibus or "The Bitch in Yoo" by Common which is a filthy diss on Ice Cube and my all time favorite. I was glued to this episode because I love nothing more than hearing a fellow hip hop nerd drop knowledge and feel bad for not identifying a rap song. Share this post Link to post

mwn 5470 Posted March 8, 2012 what is the song played for Jensen's intro? thanks. Midnight City by M83. Good album! Share this post Link to post
Lee (no relation) 0 Posted March 9, 2012 As my 0 posts would indicate, I've never felt compelled to post on here. However, Jensen was an amazing guest. I hadn't heard of him previously, but his stories were ridiculous. I enjoy all of the Who Charted episodes and this one went over the top for me. Excellent work all around. And yes, "The Takeover" is a great track. I was hoping it would be #1. Share this post Link to post
