This week we’re everywhere — musically, culturally, and politically. We kick things off breaking down J. Cole, Don Toliver, Don L, and the never-ending debate around who really makes hit-boy level records. From hometown songs to our favorite interludes, we get deep into the music that shaped us.

Things take a turn as we touch on Jay-Z & Pusha T rumors, Trump allegedly deleting files, Nicki Minaj’s name being dragged into politics, and the strange overlap between rap culture and real-world power plays. We also react to the New Orleans prison break story involving the “Velvet Gang” and those deadly bats 😳.

To lighten it up, we debate whether backflips should be banned, Tyler’s wild run on Regular Show, and pour one out for legends like Michael Watts, Catherine O’Hara, and Rosario Dawson. Plus… is there such a thing as too much twerking?
