b'Conscious music producer Long Lastin\\u2019, (who produced the theme music for this series) returns for his fourth GV appearance, as we discuss the ongoing agenda to debase and degrade mainstream \\u2019hip\\u2019-hop\\u2019 output.

While the manipulation of other music genres receives endless scrutiny, what\\u2019s being done to contemporary \\u2018hip-hop\\u2019 is rarely, if ever discussed. We get into what others won\\u2019t talk about - the blatantly obvious debasement of the sound frequencies in these recordings, and ask what unseen effects these could be having on those who consistently absorb them - particularly when combined with the degraded lyrical content, and the subliminal programming employed by their accompanying videos.

Long Lastin\\u2019 gives his views on the sonic structures of four so-called \\u2018hip-hop\\u2019 bangers, included in this recording. Give these a listen if you\\u2019re unfamiliar with the output of this genre and consider how they make you feel.

The intro and outro tracks on this podcast are from Long Lastin\\u2019s own album, \\u2018Illumi-Nation\\u2019, which offers inspiring truths through vocal samples set to to new, original beats.

(Ironically for a conversation about sound production, the quality of the Skype line on this was appalling, so apologies for the less-than-perfect audio quality!)
