March 30, 2022 Stand Ya Ground
This time on The Friends Podcast, we cover influencer culture, loud vs. zaza, and Kardashian clones. We begin with a little NBA talk where Rod puts some respect on Lebron’s name. Then, we talk a little bit about the Kanye/Kim/Pete debacle going on. Rod ask’s: what do we think about “adulting”? I can’t even begin to explain the segment after that… one day we’ll drop the full version for y’all. We move into a convo about how valuable it is to know how to fight in today’s day and age, then Rod asks, “Why does everyone wanna be an influencer?”. Lastly, we end with our Love and Hate game and our highlights for this episode.

March 22, 2022 Planet of the Apes (Part 2)
On part 2 of Planet of the Apes, we talk about whether or not Black people are a monolith, holding people/organizations accountable, and the current state of race relations in America. First, we try to unpack what’s going on in the Black community (do we need a leader?, BLM, are we supporting our own enough?, what can we do better?) It’s hard to put this conversation into words - Just listen to what we have to say. Rod tells a story about his recent experience at a Paint & Sip. We close out with our You Wild! segment and our highlights for this episode.

March 05, 2022 Two Xs, One L
This episode of The Friends Podcast is about everything XXL: The cyphers, the committee, and the current status of all the artists that ever made a Freshman List. First we go from 2007 to 2021 and decide if the artists are still making noise or if it’s quiet for them. Next, we discuss the cover committee: who are these people who actually decide who gets on the list? The XXL cyphers/freestyles is something we always look forward to, so we talk about our favorite ones so far. We wrap this one up with playing our Love or Hate game and going over some things we wanna highlight this week.

March 03, 2022 Battle of the Eras
On this episode of The Friends Podcast, we talked about the eras of hip-hop and whether Nipsey, Bow Wow and Big Draco are legends. First discussion was sparked by an article that ranked rappers by the number of unique words they used, so we give an overview and speak on the importance of unique words. From there, we ranked the eras and said why one era was better than the other. A facebook post calling certain rappers “legends” and certain rappers “not legends” sparked a big conversation from us. We wrapped up the show by speaking on a few recent albums and giving our highlights for the week.

February 27, 2022 Rap Groups
On this episode of The Friends Podcast, we talked about rap groups, rap labels, and Ab-Soul (it got heated). At first, we were naming off a bunch of groups, but we eventually spoke about which groups are our all-time favorites and why. Then we took a detour and talked about Reason’s comments on Fabolous vs. Andre 3000. The discussion switched over to rap labels so we talked about who’s the best right now, and also spoke on the lack of releases from TDE. We wrapped it up with our new game “Love or Hate” and our shout outs for the week.
