  • 141: Pusha T's Primo Beef Emporium

    It’s time for another beefcast. This week, we climb into the ring to assess the damage from both the Pusha T vs. Drake feud and the decidedly less musical but much more violent 6ix9ine vs Tadoe/Sosa/Chief Keef beef. We also spend some time discussing the death of rising star and abuser XXXTentacion, before looking at a bunch of Soundcloud rappers’ face tattoos.

  • 140: What's Nü, Metal?
    Time has passed, scars have healed and frosted tips have washed away. It's time to take stock and look back at the legacy of nü metal. What should we make of the genre that combined hyper-masculine posturing with extreme emotional neediness, and the most superficial techniques of hip hop with the most basic stylings of rock? Let's find out as we're joined by listener and patron Abe, owner and operator of the Okie Dokie Tattoo Parlour in East Los.

  • 137: Heavy Metal + May Madness Finale
    This episode is a giant mess, but still fun. We're joined by the crew of Plain Zero and a listener friend or two. It all starts with the exciting conclusion of our May Madness brackets to determine the GOAT song, and it goes slightly uphill from there when we talk about Heavy Metal: the anthology movie named after the immature teen magazine. This episode is dedicated to the brave memory of our troop.

  • 136: Worst People's Best Songs
    All musicians are complicated and flawed human beings. Some musicians, though, are absolute trash. And this episode is dedicated to them: the racists, the rapists, the utter monsters. Who, occasionally, recorded an undeniable song. Before we even get to the morally conflicted topic at hand, though, our three hosts open up the episode by choosing the final matchup in our May Madness song brackets. Stay tuned for the drunk finale crossover event next week!

  • 135: Open With a Bang
    What are the greatest Track 1 songs of all time? This week we answer that question with a wide slew of "bangers and mashes" as the Generation Z calls them. We also continue with our May Madness brackets, which you can find at challonge.com/songmadness.
