Hip-Hop World Cup is the podcast that pits golden-age hip-hop albums against each other in a contest to find the ultimate champion. It’s just like the football World Cup but with added swearing, guns and gold chains.   

In each episode, we pick eight albums from a year in hip-hop’s golden age (1988-1996) to battle each other in a series of one-on-one matches, tournament style. We discuss them, debate them and vote for our winner.  

Victorious albums make their way through the rounds to the final, where we vote one last time to crown our ultimate champion!   

Join life-long hip-hop fans Danny, Steve and James as they deep-dive into some of the best and most beloved rap albums of the 1990s, celebrating the beats, producers, rhymes and rappers that made the golden age of hip-hop so incredible.

Episode 1: 1992 

In our first episode, the best albums of 1992 do battle! Who will be crowned champion? 

Round One Draw 

Das EFX ‘Dead Serious’ vs Da Lench Mob ‘Guerrillas In The Mist’ 

Kool G Rap & DJ Polo ‘Live And Let Die’ vs Ice Cube ‘The Predator’ 

Pete Rock and CL Smooth ‘Mecca And The Soul Brother’ vs The Pharcyde ‘Bizarre Ride To The Pharcyde’ 

Eric B & Rakim ‘Don’t Sweat The Technique’ vs Dr Dre ‘The Chronic’ 

Plus we ask what Eric B and DJ Polo actually do (answers on a postcard), discuss the legacy of Das EFX and air some unpopular opinions about CL Smooth.
