Show # 237 - Over The Top


Listen Later

Being 'over the top' can be characterized in different ways. The crew talked about some trending things that occured this week that may speak to this idea. This one was definitely over the top, lol! Blockboy JB states that the 'new Playstation is for the gays and Xbox is for the street n*ggas'...huh? BlocBoy went ahead and bought the Xbox Series X this week. The Playstation drop's November 12th. "If you really look into it Playstation, they got pride colors so Playstation supposed to be for the gays and Xbox supposed to be for the street n*ggas," he said says in the video clip. He then quickly tried to clear things up "Not saying that the gays can't play the Xbox but I'm just saying -- Xbox for the gangster n*ggas. That's my calculations…" Got to think sometimes before you speak! Ja Rule is not letting the Fyre Festival punctuate who he is as a businessman. Now, Ja Rule is set to launch his new tech media company, ICONN, through his I.C.E. Corp. umbrella. The new company will serve as a tool for creatives to do business directly with their fans. Sounds amazing! But what makes ICONN more interactive than platforms of the past like Myspace or current social media go-to’s like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter? The Murder Inc. rapper says, “ICONN is a monetization platform with a social feel. A powerful robust tool for creatives that connects them directly with their fans/consumers.” Only time will tell with this one. McDonald’s has just announced its plans to fully embrace plant-based menu items. The popular fast-food chain is set to debut its forthcoming McPlant burger sometime in 2021. According to reports, some restaurant markets will test the McPlant burger next year. Whether or not the vegan-friendly burger will arrive in the U.S. and a potential timeline was not immediately known.

Founded in 1989, the Delaware-based brand reportedly generates more than $500 million in annual revenue, which more than 60% of Supreme’s revenue is from online orders. This allowed Supreme to enter into another top tier category with brands like Levis and Louis Vuitton. Season 2 of VERZUZ sounds like it’s going to blow season 1 away. We already learned that Jeezy and T.I. would be kicking off season 2 of the popular online battle series, and now VERZUZ co-creator Swizz Beatz accidentally revealed that a showdown between two of Hip-Hop’s iconic groups, Outkast and A Tribe Called Quest, is in the works. This definitely should be another good one!! For the "HOT TAKE" this week, we had speacial guests "Kick-n-Shit" Podcast with Gabby Rosenthal @gabbyrosenthal and Jarod Hector @jschector to talk about sneaker show culture. Check them out everywhere @kicksnshitshow. Drop a comment on your thoughts!
