I refuse to let an entire year pass without posting some sort of itemized list, so below are my five favorite hip hop-related video segments of 2017:
Cam'ron on Highly Questionable - ESPN's Highly Questionable continued its streak as the best televised source for hip hop-related interviews, and it's two parter with Cam'ron was the best of the bunch this year. Catch part 1 here.
Does Hick Hop have a right to exist? -- Murs' weekly show on HipHopDX has been the most coherent recurring segment by an active rapper.
How A-Trak Went From Teenaged Battle Champ To Global Ambassador of DJ Culture - Blueprint - Complex's interview series Blueprint has had several solid entries this year - if you've got a half hour to spare look up the one with Chance's manager - but this interview with A-Trak and the discussion of both his influence on Kanye and his founding of Fools Gold was the best of the bunch.
Desus and Mero interview Big Boi - If you're not up on Viceland's Desus and Mero yet, make a point of adding it to your DVR rotation. For me Big Boi's interview on the show was the most notable of the year for the update on his legendary Boom Boom Room.
Hot Ones interview with Logic - Hot Ones has elevated itself this year to the best interview series, youtube or otherwise. It's had a few rappers on this year, including ASAP Ferg and Danny Brown, but this one with Logic is likely the only time you'll see someone solve a Rubik's cube while eating a hot wing and answering Jurassic Park trivia questions.
Cam'ron on Highly Questionable - ESPN's Highly Questionable continued its streak as the best televised source for hip hop-related interviews, and it's two parter with Cam'ron was the best of the bunch this year. Catch part 1 here.
