It’s Freak Nasty Time: Songs You Didn’t Know Were That Bold
Send a text
This week’s episode turns up the heat as the crew explores “freak nasty” songs — the slow jams that were clearly grown, and the tracks that went over your head until you really listened to the lyrics. Some of these classics were way more explicit than we realized back in the day.
Before getting into the steamy playlist, the conversation kicks off with a debate about double albums — from Life After Death and All Eyez on Me to Speakerboxxx/The Love Below and R. Kelly’s R. — and whether every artist can truly pull off a double disc without filler. We also shine a spotlight on Jagged Edge’s “JE Heartbreak” (January 18, 2000) and give flowers to one of R&B’s most consistent groups.
Then it’s time for Kiss, Marry, Kill — featuring a Jennifer showdown, superhero picks, and a surprise shoutout to Nas that turns into a running joke.
With Prince’s “Do Me, Baby” and SWV’s “Downtown” leading the way, this episode blends classic R&B nostalgia, playful debates, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. It’s bold, it’s funny, and it’s definitely for the grown folks.
