About this listen

 We are three geeks stuck in the world of 80s and 90s nerd culture (and sometimes here and now) looking at cartoons, movies, music, TV, toys, conspiracies. Asking 'Are there too many reboots or not enough?' 'Can bands release music after a key member dies?' 'What is the best 80s cartoon or toy?' All this and much more!All rights reserved Social Sciences

    90s State of Mind #26: "Erykah Badu: Mama's Gun"
    Feb 17 2026
    Welcome to Episode #26 of the 90s State of Mind podcast - a collaborative project between 4ever in Electric Dreams and Blue-in-Green:RADIO. This podcast series sees Imran (London, UK) and Rhonda (California, USA) delve into some of their favourite releases from the 90s and for this episode, the pair celebrate the sophomore album release of Erykah Badu's 'Mama's Gun'. Released on November 18, 2000, by Motown Records, the album was largely recorded at the Electric Lady Studios in New York City with the Soulquarians at the project's helm. Spearheaded by the singles 'Bag Lady', 'Didn't Cha Know' and 'Cleva', Badu explored themes of love, self-worth and social equity across the album's 14 tracks. The album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America four weeks after release, denoting shipments of one million units in the US. 'Mama's Gun' became Badu's first top-10 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 by peaking at number six, and earned two nominations at the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards (2001). Imran & Rhonda delve deep into the album's make-up exploring the singles, collaborators and Badu's growth from 'Baduizm'. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Blue-in-Green:RADIO is a London-based online internet radio station which celebrates 21st century soul, jazz, funk, Latin & hip-hop music. www.blueingreenradio.com TuneIn: bit.ly/2LBK0BD

  • A-Z Til Infinity - BONUS Episode #1 - "Hammer & Ice"

    A-Z Til Infinity - BONUS Episode #1 - "Hammer & Ice"
    Feb 14 2026
    In support of the team's typical alphabetical foray into 90's hip-hop nostalgia, the A-Z til Infinity series will now be introducing a series of bonus episodes affording us the platform to speak more broadly on specific topics. With upcoming episodes that will see us delve into hip-hop's range of 90s music videos that saw the full range of do-it-yourself productions eventually scaling all the way up to the infamous Hype Williams era of $1million epics; we also have upcoming discussions that will find us delve deeper into a selection of our favourite hip-hop DJs and producers that painted the golden era's very canvas. Before then however, let's we're turning our attention to two of the decade's most divisive icons in MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice. At the height of their respective popularity, a transition to the silver screen seemed the logical way to capitalise upon their success so we were eventually treated to MC Hammer's 'Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em' in 1990 and 'Cool as Ice' in 1991. A lengthy discussion unfolds within the team as we unpack the pair's popularity, view and discuss both films and consider whether history has been kind to each's contributions to hip-hop. https://www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ ​Dan, Tee-J and Imran revel in their affections for 90s hip-hop by playing the expanded version of the Alphabet Game - each episode of A-Z Til Infinity sees the trio delve into subsequent letters of the alphabet in a bid to remember, reminisce and celebrate our affections for the bygone Golden Era of hip-hop by spotlighting artists and groups that meant the most to each of us.
