Media outlet, Billboard informed the target demo for rap music that no songs were in the Top 40 since 1990. What does it mean? I'll give you my thoughts as we are in the midst of one of the greatest years for Rap Music EVER!

Also, I may rant a little bit on why "The Culture" isn't all inclusive and why I want Black people to stop using the word around others, just as bad as I want them to stop using the N-Word. That and my grammy hopes on tonight's episode

VERZUZ is returning after the long layoff and seemingly everyone is excited except ME! But that won't stop a fair assessment and a prediction though!

No Limit VERZUZ Cash Money! What I will say off top. No matter who wins, nobody is getting SMOKED no matter what!

One of my favorite rap groups ever in life has put out a brand new album and it's F'N HEAT! Today! We talk about Infinite and the latest great addition to the legendary catalog of Mobb Deep!

Also! Shout to my guy, Clyde! He put me on to The Legendary Traxster's album "LAMBS" and it's FIRE! Got to talk about great rap albums when we get them!

THIS AIN'T A GAME, DUN! IT'S REAL!

On October 14, 2025, R&B Legend D'Angelo passed away after his battle with pancreatic cancer. Today we celebrate his life through music. I'm kicking myself for teasing the topic of covering his Classic Album "VooDoo" which turned 25 years old this past January and not recording the episode yet.

Today we do it right as well as cover Brown Sugar and his contribution to our life and times. R.I.P D'Angelo, One of the greatest musicians and composers of my time. 

I don't know about you, but 2025 definitely did a number on me in a fews ways already! One thing that I can always cling to is music!

This episode, we talking strictly about the motivation! What are the songs that inspire you to get up, get out and make something happen by any means? I'll share a handful that you may or may not have and hopefully they can do for you what they do for me!

Got to circle back around to this Cardi B album, Especially since JT, Nicki and Bia are awakened and seemingly on the clock. Are we invested in this potential back and forth or nah?

A Tribe Called Quest's "The Low End Theory" turns 34 today. You already know what we doing next year.

The NBA Youngboy Chicago Show was just canceled. We need to salute how major that is on a Black Mayor's watch!

Lizzo is saying a lot of great things to aspiring artists, but why are people listening now? I got an opinion...So let's talk about it!

It’s officially the last real weekend of summer and I got some content regrets…Starting with I STILL haven’t gave y’all the Summer of 2000 or 2005 Episodes. I apologize. I’m going to just do them out of season, cause I think they’re going to be dope episodes.

What was YOUR “Song of the Summer?” Cause the labels didn’t give you one specific this year.

Dame Dash needs a job and this hurts and should be embarrassing. I’ll explain. Cardi B finally dropped her album. We won’t need to deep dive this. And because I don’t want to talk pregnancy and messy gossip, We talking about who dropped the better breakup album? Offset “Kiari” or Cardi B “Am I The Drama?”

I watched Hitman Holla vs Murda Mook - I want to give my opinion and talk about what I feel is the weakest part of Battle Rap and how I feel it should be handled.

Haven't been listening to much music outside of Larry June, but it's still some important things that need to be said beyond music.

Watch the Big Bank and Young Thug conversation and it was honestly great! I want to make sure the right message is highlighted within it.

Also caught up on Dame Dash vs Cam'ron and anyone else with a different opinion about the Rocafella Era. What I want to focus on is the very poor narrative on "Cam making 50 his boss" after his recent acquisition of Paid In Full. Job shaming needs to stop and we long overdue for this conversation.

Spotify just turned the music world upside down, AGAIN! Streaming Bots have been removed and some of this eras biggest artist are losing streams in the hundreds of millions!

What does it all mean? Well I want to provide some clarity on bots and how they get used. I may ALSO be prepared to shoot some of your favorite artist some bail. Let's talk about it.

Join me to reflect and celebrate. I may have some game for you, no matter what age you are. I thank God for this journey even though it really hurts sometimes

BUT FIRST! Let's Talk first listens on some new music!

Joey Bada$$ - It's Lonely At The Top

Westside Gunn - Heels Have Eyes 2

My guy Jonez pops in to the live to talk Jay-Z's 4:44, Classics and cultural impact.
