Fresh off of seeing Kendrick Lamar & SZA in concert, we kicked things off by reflecting on our experience at the show. It didn't take too long for another beef to strike in hip-hop, as we reacted to Ray Vaughn's and Joey Bada$$' diss tracks to each other and who we thought took round one. We also touched on the latest drama with Tory Lanez being stabbed in prison and the insane Diddy trial that's revealed more than any of us really need to know... In the second half of the episode, we went down memory lane as we discussed the biggest scandals that happened at our high schools, and also spoke on how success can create unwelcomed expectations when it comes to dealing with family & friends. To wrap things up, we entertained the idea of creating our own rent party business and discussed the difference between mutual aid and fundraising.

Fresh off her latest mixtape ''CAPSULE_002: CLUB DIOSA', Shandelle brought the same fun vibes & energy to this week's episode of Bad For The Community! Things kicked off with Shandelle reflecting on her previous night's DJ set, which led to a conversation around "wall huggers" and people not dancing enough at the club.

We got a lot to get to on this week's episode! We quickly kicked things off with a temperature check on the current state of the world, before diving right into Shadeur Sanders' draft stock tanking and whether or not the NFL is quietly colluding against Shadeur. Things then take a wild (and freaky) turn as we discussed Kanye's claims of giving his cousin oral as a child and the allegations around Shannon Sharpe's relationship with a MUCH younger woman.Later in the episode, we reflected back on albums that we once didn't like but ended up coming around on. Yves then stepped out of the room as Nate & Rob shared their review and full breakdown of Ryan Coogler's newly-directed film that has everyone talking, 'Sinners' [SPOILER ALERT].

On this week's episode, things kicked off with Nate and Yves joking on Rob's newest discovery... he's colorblind! All of the past behind the scenes debates on "what color is this" are starting to make a lot more sense now. Rob also shared another entry to his collection of strange dreams, which led to a breakdown and reaction to the newest season of Netflix's "Black Mirror".Later in the episode, the guys answer the hypothetical: "If you had to remove 1 artist in hip-hop history to SAVE hip-hop, who would it be?" Everyone had their own reason behind their selection, but share your pick with us in the comments or on social media as well! We also gave some major shoutouts to a few Boston artists and their recent collaborations that stood out to us. And of course, we couldn't end things without sharing our predictions for this year's NBA Playoffs, which led to a heated back and forth between Rob and Nate. You don't want to miss it!

On this week's episode, we immediately kicked off with a debate surrounding Playboi Carti's MUSIC album and whether we should be aging out of certain music. In a time where most new albums have a shelf life of a week, we revisted which albums we still have in rotation and which ones we haven't gone back to.

Catherine T. Morris, the founder of BAMS (Boston Arts & Music Soul) Fest, joined us for one of the most thoughtful and insightful conversations we've had yet on the podcast! As advocates for the Boston music and arts scene, it was important for us to recognize and learn more about Catherine's contributions toward the scene. Her mission to build racial equity and economic empowerment to Black creatives and entrepreneurs is evident through her work the growing success of BAMS Fest, and her role as the Director of Arts & Creativity at The Boston Foundation.During our conversation with Catherine, we learned more about her journey, including: her experiences with racism in the METCO program, her early work as an event coordinator during her college years, and her time spent in Philadelphia (which ultimately inspired her return to Boston and sparked the idea of BAMS Fest). Catherine also shared with us the criteria behind BAMS Fest's selection process for performers, advice she has for up-and-coming artists, and her overall views on the state of the creative economy in Boston.

THE LAST EPISODE OF 2024!! ... ignore the fact we technically dropped this in 2025... Since we've been on a short hiatus, we jumped right into the topics that had the media in a frenzy: the civil lawsuit against Jay-Z and Luigi Mangione's deadly shooting of then-CEO of UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson.

We even entertained the conversation around young white men feeling "oppressed" in modern society (haha).

Just when we thought things couldn't get any worse for Drake in 2024... news drops of him taking legal action against his own label for the success of "Not Like Us! We reacted and discussed on how this looks optically for Drake, whether UMG is intentionally devaluing their own artist, and how this will potentially impact Kendrick Lamar's performance at the Super Bowl.

The boogeyman is back! This past Friday afternoon, Kendrick Lamar surprised us all with his sixth studio album "GNX".

It's been a controversial week, to say the least! We kicked off with Nate recapping his weekend with The Chamber taking over NYC and the Broccoli City Festival in D.C. In the past week, Lil Yachty stirred up waves with his latest comments on hip-hop (24:30) and leaking a song with Drake without getting permission from the artist they sampled (38:00).

In an effort to clear up any confusion, we took it upon ourselves to create the "official" Blackness test (1:15:30). Who asked? Nobody. Should you take it seriously? Probably not, but we did it anyways for sh-ts and giggles. We also reacted to the transphobic attacks and gender controversy surrounding Imane Khelif's participation in the Olympics women's boxing (1:35:30), and the reveal of Robert Downey Jr. being casted as Dr. Doom in Marvel's upcoming movies (1:49:00).

Rob, Yves, and Tomo are back with another week of "Bad For The Community"! After reacting to a funny video of a Black man code-switching to get a white woman's number, we discussed whether code-switching is a valuable skill or fraudulent behavior. As the holiday season gears up, Matty Owens joins the show via phone call to talk about his Christmas music project and his collaborations with artists in the Boston community. We later shared our most memorable Christmas memories, including the time Yves got beat for opening his Christmas gift early.In the second half of the episode, we shared our hilarious takes on different hypothetical moral dilemmas (e.g. "would you save your partner or 5 strangers?"). Things turned high-stakes as we debated whether we would flip a coin for a chance at $10 million or settle for a guaranteed $100,000. What would you, the viewer, do in that scenario??
