Music writer Dean Van Nguyen joins us to talk about the bit of pop culture that looms large in his childhood: MTV Base. In our last episode we flirted with doing a whole episode about a TV channel but this week we\'re going all in. We talked about Beats, Rhymes, and Life, The Lick, Jay Z vs Nas, Napster, Destiny\'s Child, the legacy of Jackass, and much more.
