The 6th #NoRapHour Happened…F**king Finally! Here Is The Best Of…Posted by Lucas G. on 02/20/14 | Filed under Non Hip-Hop, NoRapHour |

Last year Nathan started #NoRapHour listening sessions, and it was pretty fucking awesome; it was the closest thing I've ever felt on the interwebs to hanging out with a homie and just sharing music for music's sake. RefinedHype Nation loved it too (and had some pretty dope chocies) so you know we had to bring it back. Lets make the first #NoRapHour of 2014 one for the ages!
Here's the deal:
1) Starting at 4 EST/1 PM Pacific today, jump on Twitter and send @RefinedHype a YouTube link to a dope song. Be sure to include #NoRapHour.
2) If you couldn't tell by the hashtag, don't send me rap. Old, new, rock, pop, gospel, Mongolian folk music, whatever, just not hip-hop. When I ask for rap recommendations I get drowned in rappers promoting their own shit. This isn't about promotion, buzz or hype, this is about music, and the best way to keep it just about music is to leave the rap bubble for an hour.
3) When the hour's up, I'll update this page with some of the best music recommendations.
So start getting your #NoRapHour playlist ready and join RefinedHype at 4 EST today. You can also follow the #NoRapHour below, and hit the comment section with music if you prefer.
Update: Some classics, some new shit, and some forgotten gem; a pretty successful #NoRapHour if you ask me. You all are the fucking greatest. We will get another one of these in soon; they are too much fun.
@refinedhype ah man, thanks for doing #NoRapHour i love it. here's one more if that's okay haha, Jai Paul "BTSTU" https://t.co/DvGyckMp5C
