Strap in for a special edition of “For The Record” with Genius, as this panel of hip-hop experts drop knowledge (and a few opinions) on the Sprite Living Tracklist. (See the full list at https://livingtracklist.genius.com/ ). Moderated by media icon Angie Martinez (“Angie Martinez IRL”), aka “The Voice of New York,” the panel includes media powerhouse Speedy Morman (Exec. Producer at Boardroom); renowned podcast and radio host Scottie Beam (“Hi, I’m Uninspired”); DJ, radio host, and cultural curator Nyla Symone (“Certified Vibe”); culture executive Josh Peas; famed journalist Frazier Tharpe (GQ); and Genius VP of Music & Content Rob Markman.
The Sprite Living Tracklist is a collection of 50 songs that have influenced hip-hop and pop culture since the genre’s inception. It’s not meant to be a definitive best-of list, but rather a conversation starter that honors legends from across the decades. With that in mind, this panel of hip-hop experts was assembled to dig deep into the Living Tracklist and share their thoughts on the classics contained within.
