This week has been super busy, and the gang has been outside! We quickly run through their week’s activities (sort of) and then get into Casey Anthony and her attempted OJ-esque rebrand (19:00) . Rappers are turning into actors at an alarming rate, so of course we have to give our top 5 of the greatest to touch both a pen and the big screen (29:10). Speaking of the greats, Jermaine Dupri set the internet on fire after posing a question about the purpose of being an indie artist over being signed to a major (38:48). We discuss why going indie was best for Rory personally - and later get a call from JD while giving him a chance to explain himself (1:15:50). This leads us into a conversation about just how much control record labels have in creating a superstar ; how Tyla might be the next one and if Playboi Carti is already one (47:35). Last but not least, of course we had to let you guys know about new music coming today, make sure you check it out and let us know what’s hit or miss. omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 349 | $30 Lunch

It's never a bad idea to bring a Twitter debate onto the pod. We discuss if $30 for lunch on Valentine's Day is "low effort". The Stud Steppers dance dedicated to Brittney Griner has resurfaced on social media, and it has Rory remembering when King Bach went full SJW on YouTube. Plus, what would Demaris do (or won't do) to get Mal out of a Russian prison, and why isn't Gen Z hooked on drugs like everybody else? omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 348 | Deep Is An Understatement

Today is a good day. Demaris dropped an egg, and J. Cole dropped new bars (11:33). Freddie Gibbs also dropped a not-so-cryptic message about Cole’s latest song, and we discuss what a battle between the two would look like (27:52). Rolling Stone is playing with our emotions, making a list of Worst Songs On Classic Albums, but we love a list so of course we had to add to it (44:40). We get into new music and new freestyles (1:03:03), then give our opinion on the backlash Reason received for his Bootleg Kev interview and what loyalty platforms owe to artists (1:13:03). We try to stop Demaris from getting murdered by a fan for Cowboy Carter tickets (1:24:00), and then plan out her funeral, just in case. Mal is appalled at the Steve Smith adultery controversy, and we do a text breakdown of the evidence (1:34:56). There was a voicemail that led to a conversation that would’ve ended up getting us demonetized.. So we had to cut it out of audio and YT. Subscribe to our patreon for the uncut version.
