This Week in Hype Podcast: The Jason James Edition (Listen & Download) Posted by Nathan S. on 01/18/13 | Filed under Downloads, Podcasts, This Week in Hype, Jason James

Against all odds, the "This Week in Hype" podcasts has continued to excel not suck so much RefinedHype Nation demands it be put to sleep. Well then, let's keep it moving.

For the latest edition, I brought on RefinedHype familia Jason James, best known as the "Pyramids in Stereo" creator and "This Is My Rifle" author, to talk about Mac Miller vs. Lord Finesse, Rap Radar/Hot 97 vs. underground rap, Manti Te'o vs. the truth, plus we dispense some (probably terrible) advice to artists looking to get blog coverage.

As always, let me know what you liked, what you hated, what you'd like to see on future podcasts. And yes, I'm aware that I said "fucking awesome" approximately 147 times. Blame "Thrift Store".

Enjoy...

Discussed This Week:

* The Illuminati.
* The Mac Miller vs. Lord Finesse settlement.
