This is a protest album addressing elements of the Black Lives Matter movement. Solange's new album A Seat at the Table is her 3rd studio album was produced by the noted R&B and neo-soul mastermind Raphael Saadiq.

Jim and Greg discuss how Drake used the Timmy Thomas song to create a new piece of music with a completely different message and vibe. The main sample in the track is Timmy Thomas's 1972 hit " Why Can’t We Live Together," a song that relies on minimal instrumentation and vocals, driven primarily by a rhythmic organ beat. This week, they analyze Drake's " Hotline Bling," a song first released in July of 2015 and hasn't left the charts since. It's time for another installment of Sample Platter, where Jim and Greg take a look at a contemporary chart topper that prominently features a unique sample. The enormous crowds at the band's recent reunion shows are testament to the enormous impact the music has had on generations of fans, even if that big hit song always eluded them. The Replacements broke up in 1991, but its influence was soon heard all over the alternative rock explosion. The Replacements signed to a major label for the 1985 album Tim, but Bob describes a combination of self-destruction and bad timing that ultimately kept the band off the charts. Though the band's records from the early '80s were influenced by hardcore punk, Westerberg always had a latent sensitive side that fully emerged on the 1984 masterpiece (and Classic Album Dissection recipient) Let It Be. As he explains to Jim and Greg, Bob traces much of The Mats' personality to their troubled upbringings, particularly that of guitarist Bob Stinson. But author Bob Mehr reveals a more complicated story of the Minneapolis band in his new book Trouble Boys: The True Story of The Replacements.
The mythology of The Replacements can overshadow the actual music – from their infamously volatile live shows, to their wild drinking, to Paul Westerberg's legendary songwriting genius, and to their commerial ailures. Audio player Download Subscribe via iTunes Bob Mehr on The Replacements
