Episode 2: Exploring hip hop and comedy!

Romesh Ranganathan brings his love, knowledge and passion of hip hop to ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 2. This week Romesh explores the connections between comedy and hip hop!

In episode 2, Romesh continues to explore the music that changed his life.

He discusses how the teenage version of himself wrote a letter claiming that Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg were rubbish and would never go anywhere… a claim he now regrets. He also reveals the time he somehow ended up performing on-stage with Lupe Fiasco at the Belasco Theater in LA in front of a thousand bemused Lupe fans!

In each episode Romesh takes a deep dive into a hip hop topic, so tonight he explores the connections between hip hop and comedy, taking listeners on a journey through some of the genre's funniest lyricists.

And of course, he has a playlist packed with the tracks that have shaped his life, with classics from Monie Love and Public Enemy and mainstream hits from Eminem and Drake.
