Aux Cord

"So beware what's on the airwaves

And be more aware of what's not getting airplay

Independent spirit, you can barely hear what they're saying

Truth ain't getting on like shampoo on an airplane

Propaganda's everywhere, constantly on replay

All the hits, all the time, back-to-back on relay

We're really where it lives

Make them hear the records we play

Build your own station, become your own DJ's" - Lupe Fiasco--

We back with track 26! Jazzy went to the Rolling Loud festival so she gives us a breakdown of her New York shenanigans. We also discuss Blueface's rapping style, some controversial Young Thug bars, the status of commercial radio, double standards in music, "trap country", and much more! Plug In!

"And my father living in Memphis now, he can't come this way

Over some minor charges and child support that just wasn't paid

Damn, boo-hoo, sad story, black American dad story" - Drake--

Why would Eric Bellinger name his album “Saved by The Bellinger”? Come on, Eric! Why would Drake’s dad accuse Drake of lying in his lyrics about him? Why all the questions? These questions will, at the very least, be discussed on Track 25 of the Aux Cord. We also discuss Summer Walker’s new album, The difference between J Cole and Drake’s “fame” and much more! Oh by the way how’s everybody enjoying that new Kanye album? .....exactly smh. Plug in!

"Can't no loose lips get on my yacht

And your n**** help ya burn the block

"This philly cat back at it

Still throwin' crack at it

Still fuckin' with them crack-atics

Still bust 'em with them black matics

It's ain't the bucks, it's the rush

You tryin' to get my ass at it

They say I think ass backwards

Fuck how I act, as long as I stack, it's all mathematics" - Beanie Sigel--

Other discussions include letting the kids enjoy "new hip hop", songs that make us think of someone from our past, and the fact that Beanie Sigel loves the word "Mathematics". Plug in!

"Always gotta be the weakest nigga out the crew

I probably make more money off yo' album, than you

You see the respect I get every time I come through

Check your own videos, you'll always be number two

Niggas talking real greasy on them R&B records

Well I'm Platinum a million times nigga, check the credits

S. Carter, ghostwriter, and for the right price

Stacey Dash, most of these girls ain't got a clue

"Not in the same league, don't shoot at the same baskets

Don't pay the same taxes, hang with the same b****es

So how am I in the way, what is it I'm missing?

N**** I been missing, n**** I been gone

The s*** that you just witnessed is in, I bin on

And as for the critics, tell me I don't get it

Everybody can tell you how to do it, they never did it

Now these n****'s is mad, oh they call me a Camel

But I mastered the drought, what the f*** I'm an animal

Half-man half-mammal

My sign is a Sag, this is just what I plan to do

Hoe don't be mad" - Jay-Z--

Optimistic dirty nigga, clean tube socks

They gon' keep us in the ghetto 'til we move out
