This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, I speak on the news that Hip Hop briefly exited the Billboard charts, and argue that Hip Hop ain't dead, but the culture it exists within is -- that's going to make it hard for any genre, but especially for a genre where rep, individuality, and character are essential.

Also, CKMS 102.7 FM is fundraising, please consider donating to the Power Up Community Radio campaign. No other station is gonna let me have airtime, so come on, y'all! https://radiowaterloo.ca/power-up-community-radio-2025-fall-fundraiser/

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.
