#51: Yo! MTV Raps: Better than BET's Rap City?
Back again with another new episode with Nick & Jared kicking things off with an old school vs. new school generation battle with Soulja Boy claiming that the old school rappers that came before him, haven't done anything for the new generation of rap artists (May 30) and legendary producer Pete Rock talks down on the new generation of rap by saying that drill rap (a subgenre of rap music with violent, gritty and realistic lyrics rapped over a slowed down beat) is trash due to him seeing people in his native Brooklyn dying in the street (May 27). We address both topics and give our thoughts and who we rule in favor of with the old school/new school war of words. Next up, the 2022 BET Awards nominations were announced (June 1) with Doja Cat leading the pack with six nominations but with everyone getting nominations for the show, one person in particular wasn't fond of not being nominated: Lil Nas X. With Queen Latifah backing him up and saying that he should have been on the ballot, we give our votes on whether or not he should have been and we give our annual predictions on the award show (June 26). After that, Yo! MTV Raps has made a comeback on Paramount+ with new hosts, battle rapper/Wild N Out castmember Conceited and DJ Diamond Kutz. We look back on the show which launched careers, gave first peeks at up and coming artists and had lots of memorable live perfomances and tell our favorite moments and then ask if Yo! was a better show than their rival show (BET's) Rap City and some answers may surprise you. All that plus, Reverse One Gotta Go, laughs, mistakes, COVID coughs, album recommendations and more!!
