Episode 044 | Love Tax & Rock Facts

The full crew is back for and it gets hot immediately. Sexyy Red goes viral for flipping Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” into “Just Eat It” — and now the Jackson estate is sending cease & desist energy. That sparks a real debate: is Off the Wall actually better than Thriller? The fellas get right to it this week.

From there, we get into Trick Daddy’s Valentine’s Day take — is the holiday supposed to be for men AND women, or has it turned into a one-sided performance where men fund it and women critique it? Are expectations realistic, or are some people just keeping score?

Next up, Gene Simmons says hip-hop doesn’t belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Is that protecting the culture of rock — or subtle gatekeeping? And if hip-hop “doesn’t belong,” why has it shaped fashion, slang, production, and touring for four decades?

Then we tackle workplace words and consequences. After HGTV’s Nicole Curtis was caught using a racial slur, we ask: does intent matter more than impact? Are we in a zero-tolerance era — or just selectively outraged depending on who’s involved?

We close with Joaquin Buckley challenging Terence Crawford and talking “street fight” instead of sanctioned bout. Is that smart promotion, ego, or blurring the line between combat sports and chaos? And if they spar in Vegas, does that build respect between MMA & boxing — or just fuel another debate?

And in this week’s 8793 Quickfire:

If KISS or Run DMC debuted today, are they going platinum?
