Aux Cord

"Reportin' live from the other side (yeah)

Same corner where my brothers died (yeah)

Livin' life, we ain't got a care

Told my mama I ain't dyin' here (no)

.40 on me, I ain't buyin' beer (no)

Ain't have a will, now I'm flyin' Lear

Bunch of felons on the jet with me

Make a movie like it's Con Air

Started off in the basement

Now it's rooftops and LeBron there

Still fightin' open cases

Out on bail, nigga, but it's my year" - Meek Mill--

As we try our best to return to a state of “Normalcy”, we’re back with track 52! We felt like we had to let our last episode breathe for another week, given the state of the world right now. If you haven’t listened yet please stop this episode and go do so. This week, however, we take time to address Nicki’s latest activity, B Simone’s recent statements or lack there of, Pop Smoke’s upcoming project and much more! We also take the time to congratulate Jazzy Miotti on her recent engagement! For anyone who’s listened u to this point, you should already know her roller coaster of a story lol. ..Oh and we also discuss the disrespect in addressing someone in the Comic Sans font. Plug in!

"I see no changes, all I see is racist faces

Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races

We under, I wonder what it takes to make this

One better place, let's erase the wasted

Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right

'Cause mo' black and white is smokin' crack tonight

And only time we chill is when we kill each other

It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other" - 2pac--

These are dark times we're in. In the wake of George Floyd's death, the black population of this country have had enough. Throughout the US protests, riots, and marches have erupted due to the unjust treatment of black lives. Today's episode has nothing to do with music. It isn't about celebrity, drama, gossip, or vanity. Its about perspective. We invite E-Hos back on the show to share his view and experience as a Philadelphia firefighter during these times. We, also have Philadelphia Police Officer Lee calling in to share his experiences and viewpoint all while(in real time) on duty tackling the current state of affairs. As two african american emergency responders, we felt it was important to hear what they had to say. 2020 has been a whirlwind and it's only halfway over. Plug in for perspective. We love our black brothers and sisters.

“Just throw up while I hold your hair back

Her white friend said, "You niggas crazy"

I hope no one heard that, yeah

I hope no one heard that

'Cause if they did, we gonna be in some trouble, yeah

If they did we gon' be in some trouble, trouble,

Oh, oh, oh, oh” - Drake—

We’re back with track 51! You can probably guess what we’re covering on this one(if you didn’t look at the cover art that is). We spend a good chunk of the show discussing the Doja Cat drama and social media outrage as a whole. Following that we lighten the mood by talking about the latest IG battles and how capable Pharrell would be against an opponent. It’s a roller coaster of emotions on this one. Plug in!

They shooting! Look in the barrel! (Woo)

Then he made the front page of the Miami Herald

Or Chi. Tribune, nozzles with silent doom

We in that A-Town Journal as violent goons

You should print my information (Yeah), quote my rhymes

And keep me in between these New York and L.A. Times

I'm just the victim of society, it's 'Cris the Menace

With more shit out on the streets than evicted tenants, whoa! - Ludacris—

Track 50 has arrived ladies and gentlemen! We tried to make things as special as possible for everyone who has listened up to this point.

"Whats todays mathematics? shit ain't addin' up

Get knocked with 10 machine guns only get 12 months

Ooooh weee, don't talk to me, you talk to him, you talkin' to them

They said they would've got me 10, or maybe 9

I said "How do you explain how homey breeeze?"

They said keep ya mouth shut or you eat the cheese" - 50 Cent--

More battle talk on episode 49! After Jasmine fills us in on the success of Doja Cat & Nicki Minaj; we go right into the latest IG battle. We cover Jill Scott VS Erykah Badu and why we feel that may have been one of the most important battles yet. Additionally, we continue our ongoing convo about battles we think should happen and the upcoming Nelly VS Ludacris showdown. Begrudgingly, we briefly discuss our thought on that rainbow headed character who shall remain nameless smh. Real quick...who wins in a Beyonce VS Rihanna battle? RIP Andre Harrell and Little Richard. Plug In!

"Big B and that B stand for bands

If you wanna see some real ass, baby, here's your chance

I say, left cheek, right cheek, drop it low, then swang (Swang)

IVY PARK on my frame (Frame), gang, gang, gang, gang (Gang)

If you don't jump to put jeans on, baby, you don't feel my pain (Oh, look)" - Beyonce--

Inching even closer to 50 episodes with track 48! It's only right that we let Jazzy Miotti quarterback this one. Within the last week all her favorite people seemed to release music. We cover Nicki starting even more drama on the Doja Cat remix, Beyonce's internet breaking Savage remix with Meg Thee Stallion, the upcoming Erykah Badu VS Jill Scott battle, Drake's newest mixtape, and much more! Who would DMX go against in a VS battle? We tried to figure that out. Plug In!

"That's when my heart start racing and my body start sweatin'

Baby you done woke my lil' man up

I'm thinkin' how that body look naked when playing on the bed

Teacher please don't make me stand up

I wrote back like "Yeah baby sound like a plan"

Still trying to play it cool, sound like the man

But I was scared to death my nigga, my stomach turning

Talkin shit knowing damn well I was a virgin" - J. Cole--

With very little going on because of whole "world in crisis" thing, we bring you yet another Interlude! This time we discuss love languages, hypothetical virgin situations, the dreaded dry conversation with a potential love interest, personality clashes, and much more! Finding someone who's willing to lead with their personality and wit can be incredibly reassuring...unless their personality is ass...Plug in!

“Students of Jigga, I ain't mad yeah, bite my shit

Sell half of what I sell because it's not quite my shit

I'm the type to buy a Rollie and just ice my shit

On the spot, fuck coming back twice to shit

How real is that? My floss game, still intact

Boss game, you lame dudes can't feel that

Like the first dude to cop the 850 in '89

And drove it up to 55th, the city is mine, what?” - Jay Z—

The battles continue and we’re here to discuss it on track 47 of the Aux Cord! After many old head related technical difficulties, IG crashes, and an annoyed Babyface, we FINALLY get to see 2 legendary writers/producers/composers face off in a very eventful and Instagram breaking battle. Before getting to that, we start the show airing out our grievances about Da Baby, Meg Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez. We also discuss the potential Diddy vs Dr. Dre battle and more hypothetical battles we can imagine. It’s pretty apparent that hip hop lives on Instagram at this point. “ZONE!” Plug in!

"I know I'm the one

Damn it I made it, now look what I've done (buck, buck, buck)

I feel like I'm dreamin', I count all my blessings

I'm really elated, I know I Am Legend or one in the makin'

I know that it's real

I hope they look up to me like we used to look up to Phil

I know that you will

I lay a brick at a time for somethin' I know I can build” - Joyner Lucas—

Track 46 is live! Live from our own homes that is. In this week’s episode we discuss our review on T Pain vs. Lil Jon and the difference in artistry and battle. We also talk about other battles we’d like to see and highlight what would happen if 50 & Ja Rule went at it. Furthermore, we discuss and review Joyner Lucas and Tory Lanez’ newest projects, the Chris Brown and Michael Jackson comparisons, Bruno Mars’ greatness, and more! What would happen if Babyface has beef with 50 Cent...we(for some reason) get into that too! Plug in!

"Talking that junk like you went black, guarded your back

Come battle me and you get smacked as hard as you act

When I rap I represent it and will never referee in it

Every minute so when I win it you never resent it" - Eminem--

The Quarantine-Casts continue as we move on to Track 45! After a brief discussion on the abnormality that is the "Tiger King", we get into what actually matters. We can all agree that hip hop lives on IG live right now right? These battles that are curated by Swizz and Timbo seem to be have replaced album releases and nights out at the club. We discuss each one and even ones we feel like we'd like to see. Additionally, we discuss what would happen if they started running out of ideas for match ups. Like...what if the Cha Cha Slide challenged The Wobble for step song dominance?! Plus, we can all agree that The Electric Slide is the GOAT right? Quick note...this was recorded before The T Pain and LilJon battle. How accurate were we? Plug In!
