One Hit Thunder

If you’re traveling back in time to the early 2000s to compete in the X Games, can I suggest an Icelandic rap-rock group to serve as the soundtrack for your halfpipe drop in? Yes, I’m speaking of Quarashi, a band that was one part Beastie Boys, one part Rage Against The Machine, and all EA Sports video game menu music. This week’s guest, comedian Dave Losso, wanted to discuss their closest thing to a hit: the upbeat “Stick ‘Em Up,” a song that will probably make you say, “oh yeah…I THINK I know this!” Should Quarashi have had more hits? Did they even HAVE a hit? What exactly is going on here? Tune in to find out!

In the Summer of 2001, Blu Cantrell looked poised to become the next household name in mainstream R&B. Her debut single “Hit ‘Em Up Style (Oops!)” was topping charts and earning her Grammy nominations, and industry titans such as L.A. Reid and Dallas Austin were singing her praises and putting their talents to work to further her career. When she released her sophomore album in 2003, she achieved some international success, but things seemed to stall out back in the States. Within a year or so, Blu’s music career seemed to have abruptly ended, fueling speculation of all sorts. Was her departure from the limelight just another age old story of bad timing and record label shenanigans, or was something MUCH more scandalous at play? This week, we explore Blu Cantrell’s life and career to try to find out if she was one of SOMEBODY’S 99 problems.
