This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air May 5, 2023 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight is the year's first ode to 2003, marking 20 years since I started listening to rap music. It feels like a whole lifetime and world away from where we are now -- Bush invaded Iraq, 50 Cent and G-Unit were everywhere, the divide between mainstream/underground was mad deep, I still had dial-up internet, video games were good (sorry for sounding like an oldhead on that one, gaming's in a bad place right now), and smart phones were looming, but not here yet. I didn't even have an iPod! 2003 marked the year I first took interest in rap beyond casual listening, at just 9 years old -- can only imagine what it might have been like if I grew up in a city which sold mixtapes and had high-speed internet lmao.

Also doing slowed + reverb music now lol

To those of you looking for the slowed + reverb version of "Benji the Dog" by Mac Miller (RIP), it was copyright claimed after 15,000 plays. If you're desperate for the mp3, dm me here and we can work something out.
