The A to Z of Hip Hop: C + Plug 2 tribute

Romesh is up to C in his rap alphabet, and pays tribute to Dave aka Plug 2 aka Trugoy from De La Soul who recently passed away. Plus has tracks from Snoop Dogg, Verb T and Outkast.

Romesh reaches C in his alphabetical journey through rap culture.
This time it is C for Cypher - a type of freestyle group rap session key in Hip Hop's development - and his featured artist is Cardi B.

Rom also pays tribute to the late, great rapper Dave from De La Soul - a man of many names (including Trugoy the Dove and Plug 2) who was a driving force behind one of the most important groups in Hip Hop. We hear clips from a 2012 91热爆 archive interview, of Dave talking about De La Soul's masterpiece - debut album 3 Feet High and Rising.

On top of all that, there's music from The Notorious B.I.G., Salt-N-Pepa, Sam Wise, Three 6 Mafia, Shade Shiest and Lauryn Hill.
