Welcome back to EPISODE 43 of The Certified Platinum Show! The crew is back to hit ya with another hilarious episode!

BOBBYS HOME! Bobby Shmurda was finally released from prison after serving a 6 year sentence. As highly anticipated as this was, the gang delves into what this means for hip-hop and the culture, whether he was celebrated enough for being a “real n***a” and holding it down, as well as predictions concerning the future of his career (02:18)

Lady Gaga’s dogs were unfortunately dog-napped this week. The story does not stop there: the dognapper opened fire on the dog-walker, firing 2 bullets at the dog-walker. Gaga then posted a $500K reward for the safe return of her dogs… With a story this crazy, the crew couldn’t help but crack some jokes and ponder some conspiracies… BUT OF COURSE, prayers to all (especially the dog walker) of those affected (11:40)...

Kevin Durant was not havin it this week, when KashDoll claimed herself as the “Original KD”. The Certified Platinum Show consensus revealed that this was, in fact, NOT the case. The disrespect was not tolerated by him nor his homeboys, and we have to admit that we agree with Durant on this one (28:49)...

On this episode of The Certified Platinum Show, the crew comes at ya with the most riveting, hard hitting content to date!1!1…. lol you know us better than that :’)

This week, the crew discusses the completely unwarranted, unsolicited breaking news that ignited the tabloids this week...The Kim & Kanye divorce announcement. Did we care? Not really. Did we give our opinion on the topic at hand?...Surprisingly, not really! Tune into our conversation about how much we didn’t care about this breaking news (04:21)

This week, @kristodotcom was interviewed on Co-Op Radio Vancouver 100.5, on “Canadian Content”, hosted by Emerson Marshall. On the hour long interview, @kristodotcom and @emersonettore [Instagram] speak about Black radio programming in Canada, the music/cultural landscape of Vancouver and more. Check out the interview by The Certified Platinum Network’s very own (04:45)! https://bit.ly/2MiioX2

While talking about the Migos’ potential third “Culture” album release, Dana gets hyped up defending the greatness of Takeoff while debating the order of the greatest individual Migos albums. Let us know whether your order is Takeoff/Quavo/Offset, Quavo/Offset/Takeoff, Offset/Takeoff/Quavo, or a different combination (38:05)!

CERTIFIED. HEY! What’s up! HELLO! Welcome to Episode 41 of The Certified Platinum Show. Though uploads have been late this month due to unforeseen circumstances, we still make it back week by week to deliver top-quality content!1!1

Tekashi69 is back in the news, and this time it was due to a parking-lot pow-wow (with no violence and a whole lotta screaming). 69 allegedly pulled up on Meek Mill with security and began to taunt him. Though Meek kept his cool, be began catching heat for his internet-participation while giving 69 clout… Do you feel like Meek should’ve kept his cool and ignored Tekashi, or was his reaction warranted (10:42)…

Jack Harlow was found on Instagram live shooting his shot at Doja Cat. Now although that shot seemed to land nowhere near the rim, Harlow respectfully took his L to the chin. The gents found this admirable and respectful, and endorsed taking your L as Harlow did (13:53)

With Vantelime’s Day behind us, the gang dissect the holiday and break down it’s true legitimacy… Do men deserve gifts? Is p**y a Valentine’s Day gift? Valentine’s Day protocol when you HYPOTHETICALLY* have two shordies/mandem? We get into it all, tune in (19:23)...

“Courtside Karen” went trending this week after two Atlanta Hawks were recorded in an interaction on-court with Lebron James. This isn’t the first time Lebron has had to fend off on-court Karen behaviour, so we reminisce and dive into our personal Karen encounters (05:19)

WHICH ONE OF YALL GOIN HOME WITH TRIGGA?? Trey Songz goes trending this week after an explicit video of him receiving fellatio leaked. Did we want to cover this story? Probably not… Did we clown it anyways? Yes we did LOL (13:28)

ANOTHER SZA SNIPPET! This one went viral on TikTok and fans have named it “T-Shirt”. The anticipation for the new SZA album is almost at its maximum!!!!! (25:27)

Takeoff leaks a new track from Culture III on Instagram. Are we still looking out for a Migos album? Or has the “Culture” hypetrain ran out of fuel (31:35)...

This week, PARTYNEXTDOOR released “Colours EP”, a 2021 re-release of PND’s infamous 2014 EP. The Weeknd also announces an upcoming album titled “The Highlights”. This one is also a repackaged album filled with well-known songs from the Ethiopean-Canadian artist. Kristo is fed up with the repackage-release and lets some steam off on the matter (41:55)...

Thanks for returning for another episode of The Certified Platinum Show!

SZA announces her new GOODLINE hotline, where fans can call her and cry with//to her over the phone. We love SZA and everything that she does, so we felt it was only right to call the hotline and see if we could reach her. Find out if she answered…(08:00)

This week we cover a number of the prison pardonings that Donald Trump initiated as part of his departure from the White House. With some of these names being notable hip-hop names, did Trump do a “favour” for the hip-hop community before he dipped, while leaving Joe Exotic to take a seat?...(27:31)

A video was exposed of Kanye West screaming at Chance The Rapper… The reason? We are unsure LOL… Although it seemed intense, we can’t say that we didn’t see something like this coming, but we’ll clown the situation regardless. But why Chance???... (35:30)

Thanks for tuning into this week’s rendition of The Certified Platinum Show! This week, we speak directly to those that know not a thing about investing in the stock market. Many people may not have the financial literacy conversations that are needed today, so we felt that it would be beneficial to have these conversations for you JITs to hear.

Now although we got on our big bank money talk, we still needed to cover at least 1 hip-hop story. YFN Lucci was wanted by Atlanta PD’s homicide unit for his alleged role in a man’s death. He was reportedly wanted on multiple charges including felony murder, aggravated assault, and other gang crimes. Prayers to all those negatively affected (18:53)...

In a blockbuster trade that occurred this week, James Harden has been traded to the Brooklyn Nets. Now alongside teammates Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, people are debating whether the new BIG THREE will dominate in this 2021 season. The crew gives their take on this major mid-season trade (25:26)...

Kresnt drops a new track this week on major platforms titled VODAFONE FREESTYLE. The crew gives their thoughts of the Canadian artist’s new single (38:45)

Tensions may be rising, but The Certified Platinum Show is here to provide subpar coverage of these unprecedented times… Just remember, do your googles! (09:05)

We get into the upcoming releases that are expected in 2021 by the major recording artists. Will we get rappity-rap Drake? Or will he remain a sweetermans styll throughout this new upcoming album...Will Kendrick release music this year, or will his name start appearing in “What Happened?” conversations? Will we receive more than 1 album from J. Cole this year? We get into all of these questions…

THANK YOU for tuning into another episode of The Certified Platinum Show! As the year comes to an end, we want to extend an appreciation of your listenership. During these unprecedented times, we thank you for riding with us and enjoying weeks of laughs, news, entertainment, and an overall good time! We will be taking a hiatus until January 4th to make some upgrades and to work on some new projects for you. Until then, be sure to listen to all 34 other episodes and follow us on our socials (below) to keep updated on news and clips!

Charlamagne has re-signed for 5 more years at iHeart Media, continuing his role on the popular radio show, The Breakfast Club, as well as an executive role as the Senior Creative Officer of Culture Content & Programming (7:05). [08:00 - HOWARD STERN].

Bob Dylan sells his entire songwriting catalogue of more than 600 songs to Universal Music for what may be the largest publishing rights acquisition of a single act. After holding his masters for 58 years, he has received a large payday for the rights to these records… Man, artists nowadays should take note… (27:07)

This week, Lil Wayne pleaded guilty to one count of possessing a firearm and ammunition by a convicted weapon, according to Rolling Stone. Ironic enough, it was also revealed that Lil Wayne had sold his masters to Universal Music as well… But for a whopping $100M. Although this is a lot of money, many consider this to be an undervalue of Wayne’s catalogue. Could this have been a desperation sale? The gang talks about it… (28:30)

Kanye West’s Sunday Service contracted choir is allegedly taking the Yeezy CEO to court for unpaid wages. The crew alleges that they assisted West in the production of the first ever event and that Kanye allegedly failed to provide pay stubs and failed to pay wages to staff. WAKE UP MR. WEST, THE PEOPLE NEED THEIR MONEY! (39:36)
