- We’re joined by Mr. Eon of The High & Mighty, who sits with the crew to discuss one of hip hop's greatest eras. We hear stories about how it started for them, the Masta Ace beef, working with Bobbito, The Alchemist, Rashida Jones, Beetlejuice, Kool Keith, Pharoahe Monch, Eminem and Cage. During the late 90s and early 00's, Eastern Conference Records was a staple in independent hip-hop. Who better to tell vivid tales of the indie hip-hop movement than one of the guys responsible for it?
What made this era one of the greatest? The music was fresh, innovating, original, honest and most importantly fun. D-I-Y in full effect. Record stores in full effect. Online chat groups where you shared music was definitely in effect. That feeling of excitement while scarfing down a slice of pizza or Gray's Papaya because you couldn't wait to see what Fat Beats on 6th Ave had. When Fat Beats wasn't enough for your fix, you went to the LES to peep A-1 or took the iron horse to Fulton Street, to check out Beat Street and grab a treat from Juniors after. The days in New York during the indie hip-hop movement were magical.
Now, let's re-live those memories and magic this era gave us. Enjoy the show!

This is a good ass interview.
Fantastic interview. This is good.
This was great
Can't wait for the new album in 2025!
So sick voicecontrast together with Cage
Something happened to Mr Eon's voice. If you contrast his earlier interviews, it was very deep, then a few years ago it was almost squeaky high and strange sounding, now it's starting to return to his normal tone and depth again.
sick intro
Right
Cage doesn't realize that DJ mighty mi produced all his best albums Movies for the Blind and Kill the Architect are light years better than Depart from me and Hells winter if Cage would go back to his old routes it would be an amazing masterpiece
Kill the Architect better than Hell's Winter? U tripping hard
Movies for the blind is really good, hells winter is way better than kill the architect
@@kuppakassi trippin mad har, hells winter is dope as hell
Smut Peddlers is still my favorite Cage album ever. I actually had him sign my vinyl copy at his show in Jersey in 2014. I think at that time Cage was in his prime as far as his flow and energy goes and that albums production was phenomenal and complement his style better than any other producer could have at the time time. I also feel this was Eons best album also.
You are so far off on KTH being better that Hells Winter. Not even close. HW is arguably his best album. Technically and production wise. The beats are KIA are mostly ok (and I'm a huge H&M / Mighty Mi fan) while Hells Winter has production from El Producto, Camu mothrfuckin Tao, DJ Shadow & Blockhead. Not even comparable. KIA is the beginning of the end for Cage. He was one of my favorite rappers but his decline was huge. Really sucks but he got so fuckin corny with the devil worship bullshit and touring with the gay ass ICP.
