Special Guests, Exlusives and random fun!

Last Thursday November 12 was another episode of Big Poppa Radio and although Killah Cam was unable to make it, we still had a great show as we had two special guests (DJ Skeets McGeets and hip-hop group Genisys) and an exclusive song by Genisys!
We talked about several very different topics and played a bunch of new songs:

Special Guests
Because Killah Cam couldn't come on the show last thursday I called on Drew B (above on the wide left) to be the guest co-host on Big Poppa Radio. This was his 2nd time on the show as he was a special guest last semester as well.
Also we had hip-hop duo Genisys, which is two Syracuse University students who started Genisys last summer after freestyling and performing hip hop for a long time. They were awesome, freestyled acapella and also freestyled over these songs:
  • Jay-Z - Encore
  • Christina Aguilera - Ain't No Other Man
  • Booker T and the MG's - Green Onions
Comfortable Clothing
We talked about what the most comfortable article of clothing is; me and Drew agreed upon sweatpants because you can wear them anytime and they take only seconds to put on as well.

New segment
Drew came up with the name of a new segment on the show for guests that come on: The Inferno. It's basically like Hot Seat if you watch ESPN except much cooler and with crazier more random questions. We grilled Genisys in The Inferno with some crazy questions and they prevailed successfully.

Exclusive song and sports news
We played a new Genisys song that is a WERW/"Big Poppa Radio" exclusive that isn't even available for download yet! It's called "Whateva U Want" and if you didn't hear it last time then listen for it on future Big Poppa shows!

Also our baseball inside source Brendan from Minnesota called in and let us know of information that the Minnesota Twins are trying to trade Catcher Joe Mauer, you heard it first on Big Poppa Radio!

Music
Not only did we play like half of Genisys new mixtape, "Lyrical Exercises Volume 1" which you can download here but we also played some new Wale, Fort Minor and Usher and some oldies as well. Here are some of the songs we played:
Here's the official Genisys website where you can download there new mixtape and keep up to date with what the group is up to!

1st Official Show of Semester!

Killah Cam was out because of a mandatory lab meeting that a teacher had to push back during our show, however DJ Jeenie (Fahad) came on the show as our special guest.

Also Zach Attack did an exclusive interview with Boston hip-hop artist Chucklehead and Chucklehead did a small freestyle as well. Check out his facebook page if you want to hear some of his music.

The show was marked by some weird stories, some really good song requests, and the show after us, "The We Don't Have A Name Yet" Show, came in the studio 15 minutes early to bother us which was an unpleasant surprise.

Here's what happened on Big Poppa Radio last Thursday:

Lots of Music
Here are almost all the songs we played and links to download/youtube them:





Ask me for this song since it's not online:
Gone Til Novembuary - AMEER ft. Rsonist & Sincere of The Product G&B









Download Mike Posner's new mixtape "One Foot Out The Door" for free on iTunes ; here are two songs we played from his mixtape:
  • Mirror's Edge - Mike Posner ft. Bun B, GLC and XV
  • You Don't Have to Leave - Mike Posner
Thanks for the song requests Ariel, Noah and Jeff. Comment on which song you like the most!

Halloween!
Guess what we were for halloween: If you listened to the show you probably found out and if not you will find out through our facebook pictures that I post.

Comment and show us pictures of the best Halloween costumes and we may just give you a prize if the costume is awesome! Frank thanks for sending me a picture of this costume which I think is funny & clever.

Celebrity-Video Game Character look alikes
We briefly talked about some celebrities that look like video game characters. Zach's favorite was Reese Witherspoon and Princess Peach and Fahad liked the one between Kurt Russel and Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid. Let us know which one you think is the best!

Next show: Thursday November 5, 5-7 PM Eastern Standard Time
Here is a little preview of what's going on for the next show:
  • It's Zach Attack's 21st Birthday!
  • Killah Cam is going to be back!
  • More new music and more prizes!
  • Possible new special guest
Also for our November 12 show we may have a really famous special guest, however I can't tell you since it's not official yet. Be sure to check out our facebook page for more info on Big Poppa Radio!
