Welcome back to Empty Crates! In today's episode, the guys put the latest Ghostface Killah album under the gun to "Set The Tone" (18:38). Inspired from Skit 1 on the same album, the guys give their favorite cereals and why normal milk gets a no-fly pass. The guys then magically pivot to pull a "Houdini" out of the topics... the guys talk about Eminem's latest single (49:21), then they rank each one he's ever released (60:45). There's way more for the 100 Percenters, so lock in with Empty Crates and enjoy the unrated conversations!

The guys decide to just take it easy for today's episode of Empty Crates... which means, of course they stumble into one of the strongest disagreements they've ever had on air concerning DJ Vlad (5:37).

Don't worry; it's our music, so we included them here for you for reference. From Spider-Man video game spoilers to Kanye and Kendrick mashups on Youtube, there's much more for the 100 Percenters to explore. Enjoy the conversation and the vibes in today's episode!

When "17 Minutes" ain't enough...

In today's emergency podcast episode (recorded the morning of 5.4.24), the guys have to address the moment in Hip-Hop that happened late the night before, with the monumental shots taken from Drake with "Family Matters" and Kendrick Lamar's immediate, pre-loaded response with "meet the grahams." Welcome to Empty Crates. Enjoy the bonus episode, and be sure to leave us a voice message about your thoughts on anything you've heard!

It's everywhere, but the guys at Empty Crates would rather take a metered approach to the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake rap feud... 17 minutes to be exact (0:00). After getting that out of the way, they dive into a couple of projects that caught their eye in the last week, including Mozzy's "Children of the Slums" (32:36) and Don Trip's "This Message Will Self-Destruct" (66:26). Enjoy!

Shout out to the 100 Percenters! Today's episode of Empty Crates has the guys sharing two of their favorite albums and offering them up for critiques from the other, with interesting results. After explaining why they're off the Drake vs. Everybody shenanigans for now (6:04), the guys dive into "Blackout!", one of ELJAY's favorite all-time albums from Method Man and Redman (24:28) before switching gears to explore D Gut's choice for this week from his favorite rapper of all-time, Slug - via Atmosphere's "You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having" (53:35). Afterwards, the guys discuss another fun topic that has Joey Badass on the wrong end of the scale (77:15). Enjoy your time with us, and be sure to share the episodes if you do!

In today's episode of Empty Crates- oh, what's that? We missed an episode? Yeah, we'll come back to that.

Like we were saying, for today's episode, the guys address the Drake / Rick Ross back and forth (11:56) before getting into the actual music for this week. SiR's "Heavy" is a surprising entry into one of the guy's favorites of the year (33:45), and Buddy's "Don't Forget To Breathe" gets the good podcast listen and stamp of approval as well (57:36). For the 100-Percenters, you'll appreciate the detours in this one, especially concerning the show title.

Let's get it!
