Back again with another new episode with Nick & Jared kick things by starting off with some New York beef with Conway the Machine venting his frustrations on NY DJ Funk(master) Flex on him not being able to play Conway's music and accuses him of gatekeeping. As the two keep trading shot via social media, we ask if Conway should care about his music being played on the radio or if he should stick to streaming services and the mixtape world. Next up, one of the greatest ever, Jay Z, made a surprise appearance on Kevin Hart's new show Heart to Hart (Peacock) and tells the host that as of now, he not retired from music but he has no plans to make music. We ask the question on if it's time to Jay to hang it up and also giving our predictions on when he should drop his next album. After that, T Pain appears on DJ Akademiks Twitch channel to talk about the late great Tupac Shakur. During the show, Tallahassee Pain said that Tupac would have been "ate the f--k up (PAUSE!) due to the lyrics that we hear today" if he survived his fatal 1996 shooting in Vegas. We give our opinions on what Pac would be doing from 1997 to today and if he would be more interested in movies or music in 2022. All that plus, 90s One Gotta Go makes its triumphant return, albums recommendations and a lot more!

Back again with another new episode with Nick & Jared kicking things off with an old school vs. new school generation battle with Soulja Boy claiming that the old school rappers that came before him, haven't done anything for the new generation of rap artists (May 30) and legendary producer Pete Rock talks down on the new generation of rap by saying that drill rap (a subgenre of rap music with violent, gritty and realistic lyrics rapped over a slowed down beat) is trash due to him seeing people in his native Brooklyn dying in the street (May 27). We address both topics and give our thoughts and who we rule in favor of with the old school/new school war of words. Next up, the 2022 BET Awards nominations were announced (June 1) with Doja Cat leading the pack with six nominations but with everyone getting nominations for the show, one person in particular wasn't fond of not being nominated: Lil Nas X. With Queen Latifah backing him up and saying that he should have been on the ballot, we give our votes on whether or not he should have been and we give our annual predictions on the award show (June 26). After that, Yo! MTV Raps has made a comeback on Paramount+ with new hosts, battle rapper/Wild N Out castmember Conceited and DJ Diamond Kutz. We look back on the show which launched careers, gave first peeks at up and coming artists and had lots of memorable live perfomances and tell our favorite moments and then ask if Yo! was a better show than their rival show (BET's) Rap City and some answers may surprise you. All that plus, Reverse One Gotta Go, laughs, mistakes, COVID coughs, album recommendations and more!!

Sorry for the delay (again) but we are back with a brand new episode with Nick and Jared rocking the mic and kicking things off with up and coming rapper DDG taking to Twitter and saying that rappers today are ten times better than rapper from the past. We debate on if DDG was right to make those comments and some of our comments may surprise you and we'll tell you who is better in what from the old and new schools. Next up, Pusha T is having a hell of a year so far with his album It's Almost Dry coming in at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart, the Arby's Spicy Fish diss to McDonald's (still fire! no pun intended) and going on a promotional tour to hype up the album. Some fans were thinking that he sent a shot at Cardi B in his song "Dreaming of the Past" due to a lyric in his song. We ask if it was a direct shot to her and if Cardi B deserved the Best Rap Album Grammy from 2019. After that, May 4th marks the 10 year passing of legendary rapper MCA of the Beastie Boys due to cancer. We take a look back at the boys' career, achievements and influences then ask if the trio from NYC is a top five hip hop group of all time since asking if top ten was too easy of a question. All that plus, ranking Kendrick Lamar's first five albums in our toughest Rank'd yet due to Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers dropping on May 13th, album recommendations, shoutouts and a lot more!!

Sorry for the delay! but we are back with another new episode with Nick and Jared and we kick things off with A$AP Rocky and him getting busted at LAX. Rocky was arrested and then later released due to a shooting incident that happened back in November 2021 where he allegedly shot a man in his hand in the Hollywood area. We give our quick thoughts on the entire situation surrounding him and if it'll hurt his career. After that, Fivio Foreign went on The Angie Martinez Show (April 12) and told Angie that Jay Z was the greatest rapper to come out of Brooklyn with Fivio being a Brooklyn native himself. We discuss if the answer was a safe answer to save face and if Jay really is the greatest MC to come out of the Brooklyn with others coming out like MC Lyte, B.I.G., Big Daddy Kane and more. Next, upcoming rapper Coi Leroy is in the headlines for her album TRENDSETTERS, but for some for all the wrong reasons, as her album is projected to sell 9,000 copies sold in its first week. We ask ourselves if the album is considered a flop in 2022 streaming services standards and if she can improve her craft or if it's too late for her. Later, Doja Cat is having a great 2022 so far with her winning a GRAMMY (April 4), performing at Coachella (April 17) and getting the respect she deserves from her peers including rapper Wale. The Nigerian rapper said on Twitter that Doja is one of the best rappers in the world today and Remy Ma saying that she isn't a rapper on an episode of Drink Champs but still gave Doja Cat her respect. We debate if Doja Cat is considered a rapper or should she be called a pop star and what should she do in order to get more respect from her rap peers and how she should challenge herself. All that plus, weed songs, album recommendations, shoutouts and a lot more!!

For this episode Nick and Kyle hold things down and kick things with the slap seen around the world! Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at The Oscars before presenting an award had the whole world talking even though Will won an award for his role in King Richard later on in the night. But the slap has drawn a lot of criticism from fans, viewers of the live show and celebrities alike. As of stepping down from The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences back on the first, and then a week later being banned for a decade from all Oscars events, we give our thoughts on him being banned for ten years and the entire Chris Rock situation. Next up, the 64th annual GRAMMYs happened on April 3rd and hip hop came through and had some winners from Lil Baby to Doja Cat to Tyler, the Creator. With the aforementioned winning Best Rap Album over J. Cole, Nas and Kanye West, we ask if the GRAMMYs made the right call on having Call Me If You Get Lost as the winner. After that, T.I. has found life as a stand up comedian these last few months, but, has lashed out at a comedienne during her set after she brought up his 2021 sexual allegations case with him and his wife that was thrown out in court. Even though both parties have made up, we say on why T.I. was wrong to lash out and if we would pay to see him perform stand up. Later, TRIGGER WARNING!!!, the family of slain DMV rapper Goonew made a decision to bring his body to a nightclub's closing party and had the dead rapper standing upright on stage while people were partying. We ask if the family went way too far by bringing the cadaver to the nightclub. All that plus, Best Rap Album One Gotta Go, shoutouts, album recommendations and more!

On this episode of the podcast, Nick and Jared hold things down and talk about social media's biggest troll who goes by the name of 6ix9ine telling a judge that he's gone broke and the bubble has popped. He also says that he's so broke right now that he can't afford gas according to his manager Wack 100 when back in September 2021 he claimed to have had a "$43 million worth of business". We give our thoughts and takes on 6ix9ine going broke and drop some gems on him. After that, Kanye West is back at it again with him going off on Instagram by taking shots on comedians D.L. Hughley and The Daily Show host Trevor Noah with both of them voicing their concern on West's recent behavior and West firing back to the point of him being suspended off of Instagram for 24 hours and him being kicked off the performers list at this year's GRAMMYs (which is hosted by Noah). We discuss if him being for 24 hours was enough and then wonder if Trevor Noah was responsible for Kanye being pulled off the show like his "Eazy" collaborator The Game wrote online. Next, Pusha T has beef with McDonald's! After being stiffed for $500K for him cowriting the "I'm Lovin' It" jingle for the brand and Justin Timberlake getting $6 million, King Push dropped a diss track aiming at the fast food chain and linking up with Arby's to fire shots. We say if him recording the track was a good move or not and tell you how much he may get from Arby's from the song. Later, what do Jay Z, Logic, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, The Game, J. Cole and many others have in common?, (besides being rappers) they have all flirted with retirement at one point in their careers but as we all know, no rapper than does announce it never really stays retired. We ask the question on why rappers can't stay retired and what they should do in order to officially retire from the rap game. All that, plus laughs, fall offs, album recommendations and a lot more!!
