Happy Holidays, everyone! I hope you are having a great week and enjoying this with your family holiday season es. If you plan on playing this podcast in front of your family, PLEASE DON'T(just kidding, do what you want). Today, we're going to do a semi-deep dive into the Lil Yachty & Lil Baby interview. We're going to talk about Dame Dash and Nore going back & forth. Lastly, we're going to talk about Travis Hunter and his fiance and why we need to leave them alone. Let's just hop straight into this one.

Hello. Hello. Hello. I'm back, world. I know you guys have missed me, but trust me, you haven't missed me nearly as much as I've missed you. Guys! I saw J. Cole perform 2014 Forest Hills Drive live at MSG. I was in the building. I have to tell you about that. I haven't listened to SZA's new deluxe album, but I know it's out now. We're going to talk about the culture of "first week sales" culture. Lastly & sadly, we have to talk about Fresh & Fit. But honestly, even with all of these topics. I'm just here to say hello.

I’m sorry! I slept on Doechii’s Tiny Desk. This is my bad, and I have to take this one on the chin (pause). It was EVERYTHING (pun intended). However, do you know who’s missing everything? The lady who accused Jay-Z this week. Neither she nor Mr. Buzbee is having a great week. Then I heard y'all were talking about Cooking With Kya, and I had to tap in. It is safe to say that I was not disappointed. Lastly, Tyler The Creator said that if he were president, he would take podcast mics away from people, and I agree with him… just let me have mine. There’s a lot to talk about &  discuss. Someone, please get Top on the phone to sort this out.

The truth will always come to light. No matter who's wrong or right, who's alive or dead, or who tells it or not. The truth will always come to light. However, if you are lying about an artist who can afford some of the best lawyers in the world, you might be hoping the old saying won't come true. We have to talk about Jay-Z getting sued for sexual assault. We have to talk about the white guy going around saying he doesn't like boom-bap Hip-Hop. We also have to talk about how grateful I am for all of you!

What a time to be alive! We have grown men telling grown men that they will assault them. Also, those same grown men are disgustingly talking about black women. We have people planning themselves out of creating on top of this; it's FINALS WEEK. I’m tired, exhausted even. But hey, what a time to be alive.

What happened? I thought y’all didn’t like Cole. Why are there 150,000 people waiting for tickets at his MSG show? Don’t worry, we’re going to discuss that. Also, let’s make some noise for Kendrick Lamar & SZA for going on a stadium tour in 2025. I have a question. Why is entertainment such as concerts & sporting events not a high-class luxury? Lastly, who is trying to kill Ray J? We have a lot to talk about, but first things first, we have to talk about the revenge of the dreamer.

"What's the point of being the one when you're the only one who knows it?" That's a great question presented by J. Cole. Alongside a great question, Cole has released 3 mixtapes that include the answer to this great question. However, is this a rollout for 'The Fall Off?' Is Cole starting his final rollout? Let's talk about it today. We will also talk about Kai Cenat demolishing the Twitch subscriber record. Lastly, we must discuss whether Drake's legacy will be tarnished after 2024. Welcome to Friday Night Lights.

Why? Why? Is this really human nature? I don't think so. Since when has it been human nature for a rapper to sue their label after losing a rap battle? Maybe you're cut from that Hip-Hop cloth, but I'm not. Today, we're going to be talking about Drake suing UMG not once but twice. This will be filled with court documents, explanations, and bad reading. Buckle up, ladies and gentlemen. But something is telling me seat belts are not enough.

He is reincarnated, he is stargazing, and he's looking for vengeance because he's angry. K Dot released a new album called GNX on Friday, and everybody was talking about it. But today, I want to have a different conversation about what this album means. Aye, Kendrick, if you're watching by any chance, please sit. I have a couple of questions. Links:

Iron sharpens iron, a famous saying we all know and love. The saying encourages us to surround ourselves with people who will make us better, people who will push us or "sharpen us." It's all of the OGs I've been around my whole life. But I've been noticing that other people do not have that. They have no one to sharpen their Iron. Hopefully, if that is you, today's episode will inspire you. Also, we have to talk about the Tyson fight so Iron works for today's theme.
