It's Shock's pick this episode and he chose “Us”, the frightening sophomore effort from Jordan Peele.

MOVIE STARTS AT 2:20

CHICAGOANS!!!  Our friends JOUQ this RAY are playing at Café Mustache 03/15! If you're in the area please pull up and jam their newest single, Up2Us available everywhere now: https://on.soundcloud.com/KfTRWuz1FR842QPFA

While Shock continues to hate on Vince's wings and Morgan continues to cap about what she orders from Mcdonald's, Bow Wow is dropping new music! Are you ready? What's your favorite Bow Wow song? We do a deep-dive on his comeback which inevitably spirals into a conversation about ghostwriting and [of course, since Shock is on this podcast] strippers. What's your stance on ghostwriting? Could you do something for someone else under the rule that you could NEVER take the credit?

By way of a debate over Remy Vs. Pap, we stumble into a conversation about celebrities cheating on their spouses and how it affects their career afterwards. Do you think Jay-Z would've had the same career after Lemonade if him and Beyoncé didn't reconcile? What about status itself? Do you feel like infidelity is rational depending on who they are in comparison to who you're with? We discuss!

BATTLE RAP: We do a quick delve into the culture this episode where we discuss BR bloggers Caps [AngryFan007] and Debo [co-owner of battle league Queen of the Ring] getting into an altercation at an event and the results of it. We don't condone violence, but we do have a chat about it, evolving into a talk about being sucker punched and Shock telling a story about fighting someone in elementary over a crush.

Episode 228: "Logistics!!!" by Team Uncut

Y'all think y'all could beat up a coyote?

Shock seems to think he can, and that's just one of the ridiculous turns this episode takes. Outside of that, we got JPEGMafia Vs. Freddie Gibbs (huh?), Ye Vs. Adidas (ugh!) and the time Shock bought a taco for a homeless man.

Who you got in the mild comedy olympics: Corey Holcomb or Donnell Rawlings? They recently got into a spat at the laugh factory and it got a little ugly! Do you think Donnell is mid? Not Ashy Larry, girl! With all of us being performers, this quickly segued in a conversation bout bombing where we share out personal experiences with not doing so hot in front of a crowd. Have any of our listeners ever had a bad performance? We'd like to hear about it!

We as a collective (Uncut and The Cookie Store) would like to extend our humblest and continuous condolences to Jam Master Jay and his family. May he infinitely rest in peace.z

- In the middle of all this chaos we invite our friend tv-ma on to join in on the fun and to give us a breakdown of his newest release. 27 Klub (Side A) along with friend of the show SIOUXXBOYY888: soundcloud.com/thecookiestore/sets/27klubsidea

Spitfire topics: The Barbie Movie, 50 Cent, boxing, Michael B. Jordan, Ja Rule x Sweden

They tryna keep us out of country again, y'all!

What are y'all feelings on this new Beyonce song? Well apparently, them people over there ain't feeling it! Why do you think it is that they always try to keep us out? Did y'all feel it the same as when they did it to Lil Nas X? Or is it different? Tell us below!

Y'all...why are Eminem and Benzino STILL beefing? And why is Benzino getting help to write disses towards Eminem? Do you agree that people only listen to Em because he's white? We discuss it today along with rappers and their kids making music together (and how bad it is), how recently the NBA forced Chris Brown's appearance at this year's All-Star weekend (an action we all assume to be fueled by his troubled past), and the current status of R&B. Is there a void? Talk to us!!

Somebody check on Morgan y'all, USHERBOWL finally happened and she is not ok!!

What was your favorite part? Our deep-dive was a bit knee-capped due to Marrice FINALLY telling us why he doesn't care about Usher! Do you agree with her reasoning?

After that...we're sorry y'all we talked about Kanye again. But it's the last time for a while, we promise!! Reese & Shock have the last hoo-rah as they argue if his current state in music is due to evolution, or DE-evolution. Talk to us and tell us what you think!

NEW CONTENT ALERT: Our good friend Shvkxir is this month's SEED OF THE MONTH over on LUVCHiiLD RADiiO, the spotlight segment that highlights his newest album RDMN and how it came to be: https://soundcloud.com/thecookiestore/luvchiild-radiio-episode-8-master

The Grammys happened!

Yeah we ain't know that shit happened either. If it wasn't for Jay-Z FINALLY taking the board to task on how they never pick the right candidates, or Killer Mike being arrested after winning 3 awards we wouold've had no idea! Did you know that the rap category STILL isn't televised? We didn't either so you know that was a point of conversation this week. Imagine: you find out you won a GRAMMY from a hotel room because you weren't invited? Absolutely insane.

It seems all of our topics center around conflict this week: Justin & Britney have once again reignited their issue with subliminals aimed at each other, Dr. Dre is having to face his allegations amidst a recent resurgance from one of his victims and Fivio Foreign wants us all to know that he's not changing his album release date. We also reach back on some pre-existing beefs, including whatever the hell is going on between Benny the Butcher & Freddie Gibbs and long-standing topic of DJ Vlad vs. Joe Budden.

Do you think what Adam22 is doing to Lena the Plug is pimping? We have a bit of discourse over that but we'd love to know what you think; we've covered this topic a few times but the jury's still out!

Huge s/o to The Platform battle league for bringing A. Ward Vs. Gwitty to Kansas City! We lightly discuss toward the end, but intend to do a bit of a deep-dive on a later episode.

What kind of famous would you wanna be, if ever? Would you want the fame and millions of people clamoring over you everywhere you go, or are you more the rich-and-out-the-way type? One person who is clearly on the former side of the spectrum is Kanye West, a person whom Shock and Marrice have a very intense conversation about towards the end of today's episode concerning the quality of Ye's albums depreciating over time. What do you think? Has he maintained the quality over the course of his carer or do you notice a decline?

Aside from that we have a hilarious take from Shock about Big Sean being the coolest local nigga ever, the Nicki Minaj vs. Meg Thee Stallion thing, an (unlicensed?) plastic surgeon on Tik Tok who produces...results, we revisit the "pineapple" conversation from last episode, Yasiin Bey's retraction of his Drake comments and whether or not him & Ye have artistic chemistry.

Do you think Kanye & Drake would make a dope album together? Why or why not?

Episode 223: 'Thoughts???" by Team Uncut

Ari Lennox recently left her tour with Rod Wave due to feeling disrespected on stage by the audience. Aside from that, Skepta recently released artwork for an upcoming single that eerily resembled the haulocast and it definitely sparked some controversy. From that conversation we arrive at the topic of certain artists choosing to nosedive their career over taking accountability. Speaking of accountabiliy, South Korea was finally forced to concede to the world the fact that they eat dog meat considering it's officially been banned for sale/consumption.

Those are just a few of the topics we cover on yet another spitfire episode. Others include Donald Trump potentially running for president again, tying the bow on the very long-winded Johnathan Majors case, Juice WRLD's girlfriend dropping their sex tape for some reason (which segues into a hilarious bit about onlyfans), Iggy Azalia making the bold decision to *NOT* finish her album, Lil Mabu & Fivio Foreign's...incident, the getaway driver to Tupac's murderer being captured and Yasiin Bey's answer to the question if whether Drake is Hip Hop or not.

What do you think about Drake and his contribution to Hip Hop today? Furthermore, how do you deal with hype? 

Do you jump right on a popular wave as soon as it shoots up or do you shy away from what's trending until the excitement dies down?

...oh yeah we talked about the Katt Williams thing too.
