Take It Personal Radio

On this flashback episode, we’re bringing you our Miami Bass Tribute Mix.

The Miami Bass movement was a dominant force throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s, powered by legendary artists like 2 Live Crew, MC Shy D, Planet Patrol, Gucci Crew, Anquette, Poison Clan, and Clay D. DJs were just as instrumental in shaping the sound—names like Mr. Mixx, DJ Magic Mike, DJ Laz, Uncle Al, Jam Pony Express, Felix Sama, Power Supply, and Jealous J (Jim Jonsin) helped drive the culture forward.

While many immediately think of Uncle Luke when Miami Bass is mentioned, the scene ran much deeper—truly “thick,” as 360 would say. Long before the rise of artists like Pitbull, Flo Rida, Kodak Black, Rick Ross, Ace Hood, DJ Khaled, Stitches, Lil Pump, and XXXTENTACION, this was the sound defining Miami.

This 1 hour and 23 minute mix serves as a curated timeline of Miami Bass, capturing its evolution over the years. As the sound progressed, it may have leaned away from its heavy bass roots, but every track included here represents a meaningful moment in Miami’s musical history.

We know our core audience leans East Coast—and we all know where hip-hop began—but if you’re a fan of Take It Personal, you already know we pride ourselves on covering all regions. It’s important to listen, understand, and appreciate what other areas—especially the South—have contributed to the culture.

You may not love every track, but each one was selected with purpose.

This is our Miami Bass Tribute.

We hope you enjoy the ride.

On today's flashback episode, we're hitting you with our '92 celebration,  and we couldn't think of a better way to pay homage than with the legendary Sports Illustrated cover featuring the '92 Dream Team.

Episode 89 is an appetizer, as we take a quick-trip down memory lane before making a hard stop on one of the greatest years hip-hop. Instead of feeding you the played-out '92 classics, we focus on the deep album cuts and some of our more obscure favorites of '92. We've got music from Positive K, Diamond D, Grand Puba, Too $hort, MC Serch, Compton's Most Wanted, Paris, Heavy D, Gang Starr, Above The Law, X-Clan, Ultramagnetic MC's and DJ Quik to name a few.

At the break, we reminisce over '92, discuss some of our favorite albums, share some fond memories and give you the ultimate 1992 time capsule as we cover sports, movies and music.

On Episode 183 of Take It Personal Radio, we're delivering you another special sample driven episode. Like we did a few episodes back with Method Man, we're now giving Nas the same treatment. All these songs feature a Nas sample. Many of which you'll recognize and some maybe new discoveries.

We've got music from Real Live, Royal Flush, Black Attack, Bahamadia, Scientific, Masta Ace, Big L, Mac Miller, Ras Kass, Lexicon, Mic Geronimo, Blacastan, Darc Mind, Reks, Jigmastas, Common and of course, Jay-Z.

At the break, we discuss our recent TIP outing at the Rakim concert. We answer some of your questions and discuss the impact Illmatic had on changing standards for a hip-hop classic. Keep it locked because this show is all about replayability!

On Episode 182 of Take It Personal Radio, we pay homage to the late, great Bob Power.
More than an engineer, Bob was an architect of sound — helping shape the standard in hip-hop.
 
From A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Erykah Badu, D’Angelo, Common, to De La Soul, his legacy is woven into the culture. This episode is dedicated to that legacy.
 
At the break: we dive into Bob’s catalog, announce our Get On Down giveaway winners, and pay respects to another fallen soldier, Lord Sear.

On Episode 181 of Take It Personal Radio, we’re doing something a little different. After 10 years and more than 180 shows, you’ve got to get a little creative. So we put together two remarkable mixes with one common theme: Method Man.

These aren’t all songs that feature Method Man (although there are a few of those in here). Instead, these are joints that sample Method Man. And since there are so many great ones out there, we thought it would be a really cool idea to gather them all up and dedicate an entire episode to them.

We’ve got music from Shyheim, Ras Kass, E.C. Illa, Frankie Cutlass, Keith Murray, The Beatnuts, Artifacts, Lords of the Underground, Gang Starr, Apathy, Homeliss Derilek, 13, Kane & Abel, MF Grimm, Marley Marl, The Whoridas, Naughty By Nature and so much more.

At the break, we also talk about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees for the 2026 induction — who truly belongs, who doesn’t, and who gets our vote.
