"Shorty rocking donna she was pushing and popping

Red bone with a bop she was stoping and dropping

Stopping and dropping!? this the part of the song where

You need be snaking and popping

Snaking and popping!? yeah hoe Mag made the song

Why'all niggas still popping and locking" - Magoo.

We back with the 10th installment of the Aux Cord!. Unfortunately, Jaymar couldn't join the convo this time, but Ant, AO and Jas held it down. We go over DJ Khaled and Meg Thee Stallion's current albums, Big Sean's standing in the industry, "pallet cleansing artists", the reason for recycled sounds in the music industry, Magoo's verse in "Drop" and why it was constructed the way it was, and artists we can't track down such as Red Cafe, Houston, Shareefa, Truth Hurts, Teedra Moses etc etc...

"This ain't R&B smooth, I ain't a R&B dude

Poured a glass of Army, got mama in the mood

Then she stripped for me like the "Moulin Rouge"

I think I might wife her

Y'know, powder blue Roc-a-Wear suit, white Nike her

Add mami to the cypher

R.O.C. for life cuz, the gang motherf*cker" - Jay-Z.

Did yall know Usher's "Confessions" wasn't about him?! apparently it was about Jermaine Dupree...my childhood is a lie!.....Anyway, the plug is back with a new discussion. We delve into a lot of R&B topics such as Usher's teased "Confessions 2" album, how we predicted Jhene Aiko and Big Sean's 2088 part 2, why Drake shouldn't do tracks with Michael Jackson samples, more on SZA, Chris Brown, T Pain, Brandy's legacy, and more!

“My lawyers only see the Billboard charts as winnin'

Forgettin' Nas the only true rebel since the beginnin'

Still in musical prison, in jail for the flow

Try tellin' Bob Dylan, Bruce or Billy Joel

They can't sing what's in their soul

So "Untitled" it is

I never change nothin', but people remember this

If Nas can't say it, think about these talented kids

With new ideas bein' told what they can and can't spit

I can't sit and watch it, so shit, I'ma drop it

Like it or not, you ain't gotta cop it” - Nas.

After a week off, the plug returns! Today we discuss lyricism in commercial hip hop, Dave East vs Lil Nas X, Joyner Lucas’ continued lyrical ability and his polarizing new music video, Logic being Logic, ScHoolboy Q’s latest, the importance of SZA’s next album, the remix kings, Rich Boy’s hits of the 2000s, Jay-Z’s B-Sides concert, and we answer more emails!

"No matter what you do you're never getting my title

I can't sound smart 'cause ya'll'll run away

They say I ain't hungry no more and I don't talk about 'ye

Like there's no other way for a ex-hustler

Cake ya, the x-ray splitter to touch ya, I beg to differ

When you're four years into the game, we can have a conversation

Eight years in the game, I invite ya on vacation

Ten years in the game, after I've enjoyed my fame

Only then I let ya pick my brain, niggaz" - Nas

Icons Vs Legends. Do you know the difference? Is there even a difference to speak on? We discuss what we feel are the differences and what constitutes certain rappers places in hip hop history. We also touch on the unavoidable topic of Beyonce's Netflix special, the live album the accompanied it and her overall meticulousness that has garnered her all the acclaim she deserves. Other topics include the upcoming albums of the summer, YNW Melly, Kanye at Coachella, and Rihanna's Fenty Stapler.....yes you read that correctly. Plug In!

"Contract all fucked up

I guess that means you all fucked up

You signed to one nigga that signed to another nigga

That's signed to three niggas, now that's bad luck

Damn that shit even the odds now

You better off selling this hard now

You call it living out your dreams

You can't fly without your wings

You can't hide it from yourselves, career sabotaged

I was really in that Travelodge

You just lying through your catalogues" - Pusha T.

"Make you think of better days like when you was winning

Standing on the couches in the club with us

But then I got my shot, I had to run with it

Out the gate, lost count, many days in the studio, we slave, but this shit we gotta save

Staring in the space that you fishing for a phrase

Uninspired and your mind, still it's all a paper chase

First you over dedicate, then you notice that you great

And you been the whole time, then it slap you in the face

Then you stack it in your safe, got it cracking, it was fate" - Nipsey Hussle

On Track 5 The Plug has their formal discussion about Nipsey Hussle's life, legacy, family, and impact. Although we are all devastated about his passing, we continue to celebrate his life and everything he stood for #TheMarathonContinues. We also converse about The Fresh Prince, The Carter children, Jay-Z still trying to get respect in his household, the never ending injustice of the Trix rabbit, questionable cereal mascot behavior, and other things that'll make way more sense once you hear it....hopefully.

"Look, this ain't entertainment, it's for niggas on the slave ship

These songs just the spirituals, I swam against them waves with

Ended up on shore to their amazement

I hope the example I set's not contagious

Lock us behind gates but can't tame us

Used to be stay safe, now it's stay dangerous

'Cause ain't no point in playing defense nigga

That's why I dove off the deep end nigga

Without a life jacket" - Nipsey Hussle R.I.P.

"Dear summer I know you're gonna miss me

For we been together like Nike Airs and crisp tees

S dots with polo fleeces

Purple label shit with the logo secret

Gimme couple years, shit I might just sneak in

A couple words and like peaches and herb

Have the whole world saying "How you still so good?"

Well I do this in my slumber summer

I ain't none of these half-assed newcomers, you know how I do summer"
