On this episode Uncommon Nasa and Samurai Banana go down the deep dark youtube rabbit hole of semi-scamsters pushing MIDI Chord Packs as a "Cheat Code" for Music Production and Beat Making.

On this episode of the Dope Sh!t Podcast, Uncommon Nasa talks to Samurai Banana about the business of pressing vinyl and what's behind the massive delays, extended pre-order periods and higher prices for albums today.

Uncommon Nasa and Samurai Banana talk though the hype wave, purposes, successes and failings of Rap Genius aka Genius.  This conversation took place a few days before the news came out about the sale of the company and further layoff of workers at Genius.  Best of luck to all of those effected by the changes.  

Sigh.  On today's episode, Uncommon Nasa and Samurai Banana talk about the Anti-Mask (and Vax) movement within the music business.  This applies to venue owners, famous musicians, rappers, bartenders and beyond.  They get into the motivations for such positions by folks in entertainment and urge safety taking precedence over all.

The post-seasonal era has begun for the Dope Sh!t Podcast!  On episode 141 the guys discuss whether the world has gotten to dark for dark themed music and/or hip-hop.  Are we living in the times we were warned about?  Find out what Nasa and Banana think during this episode.

On this final episode of the 7th season we mark an end to the "seasonal era" of the show, moving to a standard "we post it when it's ready numbered format".  Uncommon Nasa and Samurai Banana dive back into tour discussion as Nasa felt like he needed to add some more context to last week's talk.  This episode really sheds light on the process that is booking a DIY tour and is essential listening to anyone planning such a thing in the future or anyone interested in hearing about the nuts and bolts.  Nasa mistakenly recorded with his fan running and window open, so enjoy the background sounds of motorcycles, sirens and possible UFO landings in the background as processed by Zoom's noise filters.  We'll be back in a few weeks for Episode #141!
