Summary

What exactly is the "move," and how much guidance is Young MC willing to give when he tells us to "bust it?" We're joined by Hrishikesh Hirway (@hrishihirway – Song Exploder, West Wing Weekly, Everything Sucks!) to talk about delayed gratification, hip hop sampling, public libraries, proper winking protocol, and eventually, the extremely-fallible wisdom imparted in Young MC's 1989 stone cold rhymer, "Bust A Move!" This episode is brought to you by Casper! https://casper.com/jam
