WHATS UP W THE MINUTES

THIS TIME :

The Minute Crew touch grass joined by OUTSIDE HOUSE alongisde , returning guest , HELENA KAY to discuss how to facilitate the evolution of hip-hop. With so many brilliant emerging rap styles cropping up , we have a duty to preserve the spaces where they are formed , and OUTSIDE HOUSE is giving us the keys to lock in. Before that , though , TREDOES has some old news to tell the masses. Did you know that Ovrkast and Outkast are the same dude ? The same ONE guy. I couldn't believe it either ! And now that one guy is suing himself for stealing his name ?? Just ridiculous , Let's talk about it ! Finally , HELENA KAY asks the age old question : are rap and poetry the same thing ? Nah , prolly not , but why ? And in which cases would it be more reasonable to say it is ? Find out this time on ...

THIS TIME : The Minute Crew broadcast after dark alongside Past The Watershed's own writer, poet and friend, HELENA KAY !! After writing an insightful transgender reading of Billy Woods & Kenny Segal's "Maps" , HELENA is here to break down how your own subjective experience being imprinted onto the art affects your enjoyment of it. Afterwards, KOSEY takes on the old-as-hell jazz rap discourse, but expands on it by discussing the jazz rap lineage that has followed since its inception. And finally , TREDOES surveys our beautiful and lovely audience on which hip-hop figures they hate most , constructing a list to discern who truly deserves the hate they receive. Can we finally feel vindicated in our hate ? Will Drake and J.Cole finally be absolved of their sins ? Will most of the responses we get be people who are objectively horrible and not fun to discuss ? Find out this time on ... WHATS UP W THE MINUTES ?!?!?!

THIS TIME : The Minute Crew turns ONE YEAR OLD !! And what better way to celebrate than with a surprise pop quiz hosted by TREDOES ?? The answer is probably a few ways , but sometimes in life we have to settle ! Before that , though , MEGA campaigns to bring back immediacy in hip-hop. Seems like , in the current age , there are far too many layers of mediation between ourselves and the culture at large , and we at WUWTM Inc. plan to put a stop to it. In the spirit of immediacy , KOSEY gives flowers to the Brownsville Ka , whose community interactions exemplified this idea. Is there anything more beautiful than a fan meetup that prioritises face-to-face showcases of love ? How can we honour our legends in a way that keeps the spirit of directness alive ?

THIS TIME : The Minute Crew smell what The Rock is cooking as they discuss the overlap of wrestling with hip-hop with the Bronx's own ... rapper extraordinaire ... foe of many , friend of few ... fuck with the minutes and he fuck with YOU ... IT'S ... HESTER VALENTIIIIIINE !!! Joining forces with TREDOES , they get to the bottom of why big , burly men who perform masculinity on stage tend to have fans who are less burly men who perform masculinity on mics. A curious connection indeed ! Off the back of some nonsense , KOSEY tackles the curious relationship artists , fans and critics now have in an age where the walls between the social circles of fandom are completely eroded. If only there was a really stupid example of an artist being mad at the hosts of this pod that we could point to. oh well ! Finally , MEGA talks about the perception of abstract lyricism in hip-hop and how that expression is often thought of as lesser than more easily parsable approaches. How do we measure the quality of these things in comparison with eachother ? Should we compare them at all ? Will this topic be cut off early with a brilliant and beautiful moment of giving Hester Valentine his well-deserved flowers ?? Find out this time on ... WHAT'S UP W THE MINUTES !??!?!

THIS TIME : The Minute Crew are appealing to tradition !! Or at least that is what TREDOES wishes to critique this week , as puritanical Hip-Hop discussions go too far !! Certain Canadians have taken the reins this time , but maybe this topic should be put to rest in general. Afterwards , MEGA reflects wistfully on the good ol' - Uh , I mean God Body days , setting his tearful sights on the 5%er and NOI's focus on dead-end politics in their Afrocentrism and black capitalism. Though he may have used those God Body teachings to lead him to something greater , it appears most rappers with GAWD in their name didn't follow suit and we wanna get to the bottom of it ! Finally , KOSEY tells the audience to go touch some damn grass and see some live music ! Is it worth it to see your favourite artists perform on stage amongst crowds of people who are just so damn excited to be there and witness the artists they love do what they do best ?

THIS TIME : The Minute Crew are getting sequenced !! KOSEY is questioning the purpose of albums and checking their history n whatnot n whatever. There are no distractions here at all, and they talk about this extensively for a million years and say nothing about anything else ... I promise ! TREDOES interrogates the archetypical , regular-degular , factory-line-crafted rappers that are so frequently lauded. Not to name names but Tre says some of yall SUCK and need new material !! Bring the idiosyncracies to the underground or suffer the Minutes' wrath. Finally, MEGA got these young whippersnappers delving into the classics !! Black classics at that !! Black Blickity Black Blizzack classics !! Have these punk ass kids seen a single movie ever ? Do these punk ass kids understand the true importance of Black films for Black folk ?

TREDOES brings a written to the cypher (typical) and lists off his current top 10 albums of the year , sowing hatred and discourse in the process. MEGA tells our loyal fans who his Hip-Hop Hero might be as well as what type of american he is. And finally, KOSEY just sits in awe at the J.U.S. album being called "God, Goku, Jay-Z".

THIS TIME : The Minute Crew become YOU !! Wow , this is great. We should do this more often ... and we can with the help of TREDOES, who wants to discuss Quelle Chris' Goathood and our top three albums by him. After seeing a fantastically funny show by Video Dave, KOSEY wants to discuss the role comedy plays in the rap we enjoy and why that aspect of rap is often overlooked. Finally, MEGA asks what the consideration of rap / hip-hop as a sport means for the art and the artists. Should rappers be trying to tear eachother limb from limb and best eachother on every song ? or should we all cuddle and hug n kiss n kumbaya into making good n kind n chill music ?

THIS TIME : The Minute Crew go mainstream ! Mark this moment , June 3rd 2026 at 2pm GBT , as the moment KOSEY officially apologises to J.Cole as she realises just how much of a beautiful space mainstream music has in her life. Underground Hip-Hop's adversarial relationship with the mainstream has gone too far , and she's here to put an end to it ! But can a mere Underground Hip-Hop podcast do such a thing? In the eyes of TREDOES , maybe they can't, as he asks what the ceiling of Hip-Hop media can even be , considering the decline of legendary channels such as Dead End Hip-Hop. Finally , MEGA does ... uhhh ... A really good Steve Harvey impression ?

THIS TIME : The Minute Crew get existential !! After relistening to Billy Woods' verse on Dogeared, KOSEY is questioning the role of rap in times like these. What purpose does rap serve? I Rap therefore I am ?? After that, TREDOES asks why it is that as soon as a rapper gets a lil bit weird with it, the white fanbase accusations come chasin !! Black artists making art being labelled as music for white folk really is kinda strange, and we aim to get to the bottom of it. Finally, MEGA, per viewer request, inquires whether separating the art from the artist is possible or even necessary. Should you stop listening to someone's music as soon as they post a tweet that sucks ? or Should we ignore every awful thing done by the people we might support ?
