Filter MagCast #5 Hijacked by Hip Hop
by Staff | 00.00.0000

With four editions of Filter MagCast under our belts, we thought it time to mix it up a bit. And just like that, the first ever Filter RapCast was born.

Who said FILTER Magazine only likes indie rock and white music? Oh, you did? Puh-lease! You and your crew couldn't be more wrong. Kentucky kidz and first Filter MagCast co-hosts MC Hatbox and...Pat (sorry, no cool DJ name as of press time) are back in the booth to show you what's up in the indie underground of rap and hip hop. Sure, they're white, but with staff picks like Bone Thugz-n-Harmony and Digable Planets, you know these two rap-lovin fools keep it real, for realz. And don't forget to stick around for a brand new track from Blackalicious that caps off the first ever Filter RapCast.

Featured clips include:
--DangerDoom, "Crosshairs"
--The Go! Team, "Panther Dash"
--Quasimoto, "Civilization Days"
--Common, "Love Is"
--Digable Planets, "Dog It"
--Matisyahu, "King WIthout a Crown"
--Blackalicious, "Your Move"

What? Your little old iPod doesn't have a Podcast section? Not to worry. All you need to do is update your iPod with the newest updater and iTunes 4.9 software, available right here.

And unless the rock you've been living under has been quite comfortable for the past few years, you'll know that iTunes is, of course, a free download (or as we like to refer to it as the "magic music portal") from Apple which works on Mac and Windows computers that you can access here.

Users of other podcasting software (such as iPodder) can subscribe by using the following feed address here.

If you've somehow missed the hype on podcasting (wow, where is that rock?), a podcast is similar to a radio show recorded to an MP3. Users can then use iTunes or other software to "subscribe" to the audio feed so that new episodes from all their subscriptions are listed in a single place for downloading and listening. You can also copy the shows to CD or your iPod/MP3 player for listening when and where you like. Think TiVo for your iPod.
