DECEMBER 4th 1996 SAW THE BIRTH OF THE GREATEST HIP HOP RADIO HOST OF ALL TIME HANDS DOWN, TOM BERNARD-LAO CONLEY-WILSON III. SO we celebrate his and some old dude named Jay-Z with a roast, followed by our favorite Jay projects and songs. 

Drake also beat a rape case which is without a doubt an important W for the Graham man. Which is just as big as a W as him being the NUMBER 1 streamed artist across almost ALL streaming platforms. 

Speaking of numbers, Meek Mill ran off with an absolute BAG in his first week sales, while JID went a little under the radar. Also 6ix9ine stans are LIVID that Travis Scott outperformed him by a few hundred sales. 

The Rena Report returns for some SPECIAL tea on the new Jaden Smith project and the new Ariana Grande music video.

AFTER A WEEK OFF FOR FESTIVITES WE ARE BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER.

We have a lot to cover this week, including our thoughts on the upcoming new Earl Sweatshirt album "Some Rap Songs", we quickly run through some of the Tekashi 6ix9ine arrest and trial date (make sure to tune into our podcast, For The Culture for our FULL breakdown on that), and get hype over J.I.D's statement that Dreamville is gearing up to go toe to toe with TDE. 

After the break we discuss our thoughts on the Joyner Lucas v Tory Lanez beef, and who won in our eyes and discuss if 50 Cent is actually a lowkey narc.

To end the show this week we quickly talk about Mac Miller's secret vape account, which will put a smile on any Mac fan. 

Make sure to hit us up on twitter @ForTheCultureQU for more! 

On the plate today includes a discussion of Metro Boomin's new album going #1 in the first week and what it means for the future of Hip-Hop Producers and if another producer will be able to have similar success to Metro. Later on we debate on if the new Cardi B/Chance the Rapper/T.I. show will succeed at bringing in new MC's into the game or not. 

The Twilight Zone brought to you by STOC this week focuses on Riff Raff's extortion and other questionable things that have happened to the Neon Icon over the past few years. 

We wrap things up by discussing the Camp Flog Gnaw concert, and introduce the world to the Rena Report (which is pretty much just Kanye propoganda)

What a WEEK we had in the world of Hip-Hop this week. Kanye may or may not ACTUALLY be out of the sunken place (don't hold your breath VINNY), Cardi and Nicki have more than a few words for each other in what may or may not be a publicity stunt. 

Tekashi69 can no longer scream Trey Way anymore which has saved the lives of MILLIONS already

OH! And we debate whether or not Post Malone is a culture vulture after a new thinkpiece came out describing him  as beig possibly the worst person on the face of the earth? 

Like always, make sure to follow us on twitter @ForTheCultureQU, and subscribe to stay up to date on our latest episodes! 

Today we're joined by professors Don Sawyer and Phillip Cunningham to discuss the history of rap, along with the climate that we're currenlty in. Come for the deep converstions, and stay for the laughs and dope stories from some OG's of the game. 

Later on we break down the XXXTentacion recording that was released, confirming his roll in his domestic abuse case along with MULTIPLE stabbing cases. Along with praising (and shitting) on Pitchfork for their reporting and their review process.

On this wonderful episode we discuss Kanye's journey to Uganda (which may or may not be a publicity stunt?) in order to re work his new album. The guys also break down the new episode of LeBron James's "The Shop" featuring everyone's favorite lightskin: Aubrey "Drake" Graham.  

Then comes the good stuff: Action Bronson gets heated at what we assume is one of Vice's interns for tweeting out a meme about him. Honestly I'm still not sure why he's necessarily mad but we get it, interns can suck sometimes! 

We're joined by our new late show coorespondent Rena, as she helps us break down the madness behind Action Bronson's twitter rant, along with the BET Hip-Hop Awards (and the ridiculous winners that were being announced at the time) 

ALSO big shoutout to our guy Flipp Dinero for absolutely KILLING his performance, definitely good to see one of the guys getting the recognition and attention that he deserves.

DIPSET IS DROPPING THANKSGIVING THIS YEAR WHAT IS HAPPENING IN 2018??!! 

Vinny is nowhere to be found (probably in SHAME because of Kanye's latest antics) however the show goes on. We give our takes on Russ going Platinum on his debut project, becoming the first rapper ever to go Platinum while making everything on his own. 

Later on we take a look at the BET Hip-Hop Awards, and breakdown each of the strangely similar awards being handed out. 

This week we have special guest Michael Kraun, an indie MC from Queens, NY. We discuss his background, introduction to the game, and alsobriefly dive into the world of r/HipHopHeads. 

Later, we talk numbers for the releases of Tha Carter V and YSIV, Yandhi's dissapearance from the light, and Kanye's recent shenanigans. 

OH! AND we roast Vinny for doing the MOST EYEtalian thing ANY of us have ever heard in our young adult lives. Tune in to find out what this is and more! 

Lil Wayne JUST announced the official release date for Tha Carter V, and we IMMEDIATELY dive deep into what exactly we're hoping it will be. During this Ben for some reason makes the trash claim that hit songs are bad (we're onto you ZEST MAN!) 

Meanwhile, Kanye announced that he'll be dropping YANDHI after his SNL performance on Saturday. Although we're reluctantly excited, we might need to check Vinny into a mental institute because of all the hype OOZING out of him. It's terrifying, please help me. Please.
