South Shore Ave

Welcome to South Shore Ave Radio. This week we celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of the launch of SSAR by relaunching a couple of past episodes. It is Flashback Friday after all. Throughout the year I'll be spinkling past episodes on these podcast apps either on Throwback Thursday or Flashback Friday. No rhyme or reason, no scheduled dates for them, it'll be essentially whenever I get in the spirt of flashing or throwing it back. 

For the fact that we're in the middle of the 1st round of the NCAA's March Madness Tourney, it's only right to relaunch the episode called "The One & Done Life" ft. Big Brotha Curt (1st Guest of The Ave & #TheStoop) & DJ Chris Nice (Grooves & Rhythms Mixshow; Fridays 2-4P on MyLime Radio). They joined me to discuss the One & Done era of College basketball, how the system needs to be changed, and we ask the question: Is it the right time for All-Americans to start thinking about attending HBCUs (Historical Black Colleges & Universities) during their one season, plus much more. Once again, please enjoy.....

The Ave Podcast with Cal Cee. Episode 38: Get Rich of Die Tryin’ #15Years

We here at South Shore Ave decided to gas up the DeLorean & taking you back to the first week of February 2003 (Feb 6th to be precise). Shady/Aftermath launched 50 Cent’s debut album, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, one of biggest selling Hip Hop albums of all time, selling over 12 million units. Riding the wave of his mixtape popularity, 50 Cent leveraged his fame from the streets in 2002, creating one of the biggest buzzes in Hip Hop history. It forced Eminem & Dr. Dre to put their record companies together in a joint venture to sign 50, and helped to make him one of the biggest artists in music, changing the game in the process with his debut album.

Today on The Ave Podcast, I invite past contributor to South Shore Ave Shawn Adonis (The Notorious B.I.G.’s Ready To Die, Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt, as we discuss the career of 50 Cent pre-Get Rich, break down the album’s impact on the Hip Hop industry, rank our Top 5 songs, and compare the album to the other classic Hip Hop albums of this current century.
