April Fools style, we watched CHESS: The Musical...for reasons.

We finally watched the 2003 classic I ACCIDENTALLY DOMED YOUR SON starring Kurupt. No film has made it more clear how broken we are by this whole rap movie exercise. Or maybe we're just better for it. It's got a script! Good sound! Good jokes! Kurupt is in it! We loved it, so of course Ant had to dig up some unreleased Kurupt to celebrate.

REST IN POWER TINY 'ZEUS' LISTER. We rushed an episode to pay homage to a fallen demigod. The president of the damn galaxy.

It's Spooky Season, so we had to do our internet-mandated "horror" episode. So we dug up QUEEN OF THE DAMNED, a horror "musical"(?) featuring songs by Jonathan Davis of Korn and starring none other than Aaliyah. We REALLY try and talk about Aaliyah, but we also talk a lot about Korn's surprising crossovers into the rap world. We do find time to play some FIRE Aaliyah songs though. Anyway enjoy this very spooky episode.

After getting ROASTED on University of Dope for not having seen 1995's DEAD PRESIDENTS, we finally watched this classic Vietnam epic, starring Sticky Fingaz, Heather B, Larenz Tate, Bokeem Woodbine, Michael Imperioli, Chris Tucker, Keith David, Clifton Powell, Terrence Howard, and many more.

Directed by the Hughes Brothers, this was the follow up to their smash MENACE II SOCIETY.

This episode gives Ant time to fire off his usual spiciness about the Vietnam War, and we get to discuss tracks by Pharoahe Monch and R.A. The Rugged Man.

The music part starts at 1:05 and goes about an hour.

Chris from the Bad Wrestling Podcast (@badwrespodcast) came through to talk about that one time in 1999 when Master P, Silk The Shocker and C-Murder all graced the WCW squared circle to do battle with some rap-hating cowboys from Minnesota.

It's a lot. It's a wrestling thing so most of the episode is just me asking dumb questions and these two wrestling geniuses being very patient in educating.

We watched the rap musical. We attempt to answer the question of "why" it is rap, and "what" are the weirder implications of giving the founding fathers this treatment. Filmmaker and critic Scout Tafoya (@honors_zombie) joins us to try and figure it out. And Anthony had a baby! So we get to celebrate that before we spend a lot of time well...not celebrating the musical.

Some of the best tracks weve ever featured as well, available below:

We also forego our normal formula and just talk. So enjoy!

Abe Beame (@TheFakeAbeBeame) came through to discuss The Carter, the 2008 documentary following Lil Wayne in the portentous months before his greatest success with The Carter III. Its a dark look at his incredible (and incredibly self destructive) creative process at a time when there was literally no one better on the mic.

Abe pitched this episode in connection with an article he put together about Wayne's legendary mixtape run AND the idea of the mixtape as art form.

And the episode is great! The film has some darkness so we do cover some heavy topics, but we do our best to keep it light. And if you wanna hear some of the most "rap scholarly" talk we've ever had on this show, we go DEEP into Wayne's style starting at 1:17.

We finally did it! Nate from the Kings of Sport podcast came through to watch the Outkast musical, IDLEWILD starring Big Boi, Andre 3000, Terrence Howard, Macy Gray and more. We all have strong opinions about Outkast, so we get into our feelings pretty quick on this one. We struggle, but ultimately find a lot to love in this messy masterpiece. We also talk about Da Art of Storytellin' Part 4, and a B.O.B. song with a great Andre verse.

It's a long episode, so if you just want to hear us talk about music, that starts at 1:05.
