The Hypemen Podcast, The Lost Episodes: Just Blaze Posted by Nathan S. on 05/01/14 | Filed under Downloads, Podcasts, Hypemen, Just Blaze, ItsTheReal

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 the hilarious Fat Jew episode, I wanted to bring back this Just Blaze joint because, come on, it's motherfucking Just Blaze.

We're talking what Blaze owes the Diplomats + his portrayal in Jay-Z’s movie Fade To Black + early Kanye + Jay Electronica’s next move (which is now his old move) + his falling out with Dame Dash and much more!
