The Hypemen Podcast, The Lost Episodes: Angela Yee Posted by Nathan S. on 05/08/14 | Filed under Downloads, Podcasts, Hypemen, ItsTheReal, Angela Yee

Way.....way....way....back in the day (aka 2010), when the entire concept of a rap podcast was still in its infancy, there was the Hypemen podcast. Up until the last episode in July of 2011, the Rosenthal brothers and Jensen Karp delivered almost 50 episodes of incredibly nerdy, incredibly funny in-depth interviews, and RefinedHype was there to lend a helping hand. 

But then, like an Amazonian rainforest reclaiming a once great Mayan civilization, the Hypemen was lost to the fog of time. iTunes stopped carrying the podcast, we had to switch servers and our streams died, and just like that, some seriously great hip-hop interviews were digitally buried.

Thankfully, I worked some server magic and managed to recover every episode, the guys were down to revive the podcast, and here we are. Over the next few weeks I'll be re-issueing some of the Hypemen's best episodes, and after an epic Just Blaze episode, I had to bring in Angela Yee. 

Honestly, you may know Angela from her radio work, but I don't think you have any idea how deep her hip-hop roots run. Did you know that she was one of the first people who ever worked for Wu-Tang? She managed both ODB and D'angelo? Knew Eminem way, way back in the day? This episode's kind of mind blowing if you're a rap nerd, enjoy...
