  • #24: A Cole Summer

    For this episode of show, we take a look at J. Cole's last two weeks leading up and beyond him dropping "The Off-Season". We give our grades on how the album is and if it was better than some of his last projects plus we discuss his recent basketball efforts overseas in Africa and think about if he could have made it in the NBA today. Next, with the self destruction of The Joe Budden Podcast still going on we give our thoughts on Joe firing his longtime podcast partner and contributor to the show Rory live on his show after all three members attended therapy and Joe telling the viewers that their seats were still there and we give our insight on if the show really is over and what happens to all three members post Joe Budden Podcast. Then, we give our congratulations to LL Cool J and Jay Z for being the 8th and 9th hip hop acts to make the 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. We talk and see if LL Cool J being inducted in after six times was long overdue over other hip hop acts making it in and we settle the debate if Jay Z is THE greatest rapper of ALL TIME after making in it on his first year nomination. Plus T-Pain said via tweet that people don't like lyrics anymore and that people love beats more. We say if his Twitter statement was a bullseye or if it missed the mark with people. All this plus, One Gotta Go: Punchline Edition, shoutouts, album recommendations and more!!

  • #23: 40/40 Club: Are the Best Rappers Today Over 40??

    On our Jordan (or LeBron) episode of the podcast, we highlight some new music after a cryptic video from Top Dawg Entertainment made the headlines and Internet highlighting new music from someone from the label. We say who it is and if we are excited to hear more from them or if it was the right call from the artist AND we discuss J. Cole's new hit "i n t e r l u d e" just ahead of his upcoming album The Fall Off (May 14th). Also, after reportedly changing his verse after hearing Jay Z's on DJ Khaled's track "Sorry Not Sorry" Nas has been getting mixed reviews from the Internet and social media about a line he said on said track. We break down the line and discuss if the line was great or not. Plus, we salute our legends in hip hop by highlighting how old some of our legends turn in 2021 with noting that most are getting old and hitting the 40+ year old mark (40/40 Club) from Eminem, Jay Z, Killer Mike, etc. but are the best rappers today over the age of 40?? We debate on if they are or not. Plus One Gotta Go: Producer Edition and a lot more!!

  • #22: Recognize and Appreciate
    For this episode of the podcast, we start things off with Funk Flex's comments on Cardi B and her lyricism. We debate if Cardi B's lyricism or lack thereof makes her a terrible rapper and we give our takes on terrible female rappers and how she can or if she can redeem herself with the comments from him. Next, we talk about the 3 hour 4/20 Verzuz concert (not battle) between Method Man and Redman and how it delivered laughs, an emotional tribute to both Black Rob and DMX and mostly the songs that were performed. We give our hot takes on the whole concert and what we wished Method Man and Redman could have performed. With the Verzuz telecast, both men said loud that we (the audience) need to give rappers their flowers and respect while they are alive due to DMX's passing (April 9), Black Rob (April 17) and now Shock G of Digital Underground (April 22). We give our picks or groups and artists on who needs more respect from everyone. All that, plus laughs, a late 4/20 One Gotta Go and more!
