    Description

    In this new sub-series, Sean is joined by co-host MidaZ the BEAST to participate in 'Making Illmatic,' a conceptual experiment to see if a hip hop album is improved by trimming it down to 10 tracks. They're joined by producer Optiks to break down Jay-Z's 2003 LP 'The Black Album.'
