There's not been an episode of Take It Personal since Guru passed, so I'm kind of psyched that @danamo, @ElliottWilson and @caughtintheweb linked up yesterday afternoon for a special double-dose of T.I.P., with a number of topics including "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", Nicki Minaj vs. Lil' Kim, Hip-Hop at the Grammys, Danyel's love of Holiday music and much more! Go in!

YN's MJ Music

@ElliottWilson put together seven (yes, seven) compilations of his favorite MJ tracks last year, and they just re-upped the post over on Rap Radar. YN did the damn thing - lots of solo MJ material, as well as cuts from The Jackson 5 and The Jacksons. Enjoy this. I'm debating on rewatching This Is It tonight. #RIPMJ

EDIT I've reupped the MP3s for YN & Danyel's Take It Personal, episode #20. Shouts to @caughtintheweb.

We've not been blessed with a new episode of Take It Personal since December 2009, and I don't know if it was my wishes, or the death of Guru, but @ElliottWilson, @danamo and @caughtintheweb linked up this weekend and dropped a new episode of T.I.P. on us:

Just when you thought it was safe, danyelliott has returned. Our first podcast of 2010. Is this a full-fledged comeback? We don’t know yet. But we did enjoy havin’ Sam back in our home and choppin’ it up on a range of topics—from Brooklyn’s Gorilla Coffee (Eureka! Monday soon come) to the sonic punch of “Thoia Thoing” to Kat Stacks. But obviously, the main reason we ended the hiatus of our popular podcast is the passing of Keith “Guru” Elam.

I'm dumb late on this.

Once again it’s on. Knick game. Carsten Charles Sabathia. Ray J. CB vs. Ri-Ri. Beans vs. Jay. And let’s take a pause for the cause to appreciate her Royal Highness. The Wilsons are gonna give it to you. Get it? Ha! We take the cake.

What better way to celebrate my born day than with the return of the Danyelliott podcast? Here's the breakdown:

It’s been a long time, we shouldn’t've left you. But thankfully, we’ve more than made up for it. Watch your favorite couple navigate a garden variety of topics: Bad coffee, Obama backlash, home improvement, TV talk, Derrion Albert, Whitney’s crappy CD, and the notion that we’re livin’ in a post-racial America. Raise your flag and salute us. Danyelliott’s back and you know, we could never be wack.

Okay, it’s been three weeks and danyelliott is back! Danyel got a new job. Rap Radar got remixed. Jay-Z’s concert spectacular. Stretch pants. Crushed beer cans. D.C. commutes. Great greetings.

Keepin' their bi-weekly flex going, Danyelliott is back for round 24:

Another strange Saturday afternoon at home with the Wilsons. Old school rap. No, really old school rap. Vacations. Twitter vacations. Job opportunities. Horseback rides. The secret society of squash players. Just Blaze. Billboard records. The longest rap remix you’ve heard in a long time. And to top it off, our dog Rosie tried to pee on our super-engineer Sam. Ha!

No Sirius polish this time, but its still an ill episode of the Take It Personal podcast:

Back in BK. Janky mics. Silent Sam. Rosie rumblin’ around the dinner table. Yup, danyelliott’s home! A garden variety of old and new music, home renovation, Adam Sandler flicks, and John Hughes remembrance talk. A strange but still satisfying one. Suitable for your Sunday sun-filled adventures.

Danyelliott is in the Sirius studios for the 22nd edition of the Take It Personal podcast:

What does YN make of Jay-Z’s new single? What’s Danamo’s story behind 2Pac’s classic debut? How fresh is the Wilsons’ new fridge? Can Whitney Houston make a real comeback? And is danyelliott actually co-signin’ a new Roots tune? All that and much more on another studio-recorded quality demo. Larry Flick says we got something here.

If you've been an avid listener of the Danyelliott/Take It Personal podcast, you know that they've spoken on recording an episode in a professional studio (with the help/guidance of Larry Flick). It looks like they recorded it yesterday, and in this two-parter, they go IN:

Finally danyelliott gets a chance to record a podcast in a real studio! And you best believe we live up to the hype. The closing of VIBE. The return of Ma$e. The strength of Yo-Yo. Jay-Z vs. The Game. The topics are endless. And is that Sam on the mic? Top it all off with the musical stylings of Barry Manilow. That’s right, Barry Manilow. Once again, in two parts. Give us a radio show!

I've been of the mind that they need their own radio show, satellite (preferred) or otherwise. This should be proof positive of that. Shouldn't it?

Danyelliott dedicate their first two-part Take It Personal to the untimely passing of Michael Jackson. You should've expected that. This is history, people.

Daniel Merriweather ft. Wale "Change (Hans Beck Remix)"

Daniel Merriweather ft. Wale "Change (Hans Beck Remix)": Hans Beck = Sam Han (aka @caughtintheweb, the producer of the Danyelliott podcast) and Charles Beck. They cooked up this remix for the RCRD LBL/Daniel Merriweather Contest; Mark Ronson and Daniel themselves will be picking the winner, so good luck to these Hans Beck fellows. This is pretty smooth - got a nice, fat bass and the mix really touches on the melodies in the track. Need some more of this, Sam!

I'm glad Danyelliott spoke on Dukie Hamilton this week; the above image/scenario never gets old. And after a tall glass of Pepsi and Bacardi, the hilarity/REAL TALKedness of Take It Personal is just what I need.

Barely legal, aka the 18th episode of the Take It Personal podcast. All that I ask is that they break down "D.O.A.", which has happened - among other things. Good thing to freak with after this 40. Enjoy!

For #14, Danyelliott take on the topic of love and marriage; this is always a constant discussion on the podcast, for obvious reasons, but with Nas & Kelis divorcing, its at the forefront.
