So in honor of all this rap vs. classical stuff, I’m going to start a thread of @classicblackpod episodes that talk about/celebrate rap music and in some cases, draw comparisons between the two 
First up: Trending Now (ep. 19) Now this episode isn’t about rap music, but if you remember when Blueface came out with Thotiana, a lot of rappers remixed it. Since it was trending, we did our own classical music themed version called Bachiana

Triflin’ Music History: We Beefin’ or Nah? (ep. 46) In this episode, we talk about the infamous rap beef between Cardi B and Nicki Minaj, and then talk about famous composer beefs (y’all classical music faves were JUST as messy...) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/classically-black-podcast/id1446299567?i=1000449102328
Twitter Fingers Turn to Trigger Fingers ft. @GarrettMcQueen (ep. 82) Here we discuss a lil tiff we got into on Twitter about classical vs. rap after a group of Black musicians posted a Don’t Rush challenge and the classical music supremacists were shook

Here is that challenge. Most of them got dragged and deleted their tweets. https://twitter.com/kaybee727/status/1250194530948853760
It’s Not High Art, Beloved ft. Nikki Powell (ep. 84) In an effort to debunk myths about classical music being an intellectually superior genre, we talk to a non-musician and teach her classical music concepts using rap and R&B. We want to do more of these! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/classically-black-podcast/id1446299567?i=1000476417610
What’s That Got to Do with Classical Music?: Rap Edition ft. Alex “BadDaddy” Garcia (ep. 93) Here we speak with a rapper/classically trained trumpeter about how she approaches her artistry in both genres and how they influence each other. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/classically-black-podcast/id1446299567?i=1000486960480
And last but CERTAINLY not least: WAP (We Always Practicing) (ep. 95) This was SUCH a fun one. We talk about the iconic single as well as how the double standards we saw upon its release translate to the classical music field. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/classically-black-podcast/id1446299567?i=1000488378246
@kaybee727 and I LOVE rap, so there will be many more to come. Also, there could be more episodes I’m missing but we’ve done 120 of them so far and as many of you know, the titles to our episodes give you absolutely no information about what we actually talked about 
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
Ironically, I have NO idea which episode it was where we discussed the Tw*Set/Lizzo video. If it comes to me, I’ll post it in this thread.
