Your hosts this episode: Patrique OptimalAudio marsbars In this special episode the podcast is joined by fellow guest marsbars to discuss the discography of one of the most prominent, prolific, and spanning groups in all of Hip Hop: The Wu-Tang Clan. From their epic debut with 36 Chambers, their break into the mainstream with Wu-Tang Forever, and beyond into the more contentious later albums of their group output.

Along the way, the Patrique and Kittenpuke discuss their continued push that Violent J is a better rapper than Eminem, the (slow) improvement of Shaggy's rap abilities, and how ICP as a whole has been misrepresented and digged at by musical media outlets for their abilities when they really didn't deserve it.

Your hosts this episode: OptimalAudio createdbyrejection leftlane (Joe) It's that time again as our host Caleb returns, with createdbyrejection and podcast friend Joe in tow, to discuss Yeat's newest album! Coming hot off the release of his major label debut with "2 Alive" Yeat a year later has arrived with "Afterlyfe" and the podcast is here to break it down and all the talking points around it. Including whether the lukewarm reception is due to its quality or its variety of angles it takes, it's album length being daunting to a TikTok-oriented crowd, whether this stands as one of Yeat's more solid releases that still lacks in a possible hit single, and why it still is just as quality and deceptively hard hitting in topics as Yeat's past material.

Your hosts this episode: Patrique OptimalAudio After a needed break for a terrible year the LOBT pod is back to recap the year in music! In this episode they cover it all from the politically powerful products of Billy Woods, the similar attempts made by Denzel Curry, Drake going off the rails in terms of style, and just not being up to hating that much this year (though there's certainly still plenty to talk about in that regard). As well, the podcast leaves the realm of Rap to also discuss Animal Collective and Beach House's recent great output and Charli XCX slightly slipping this year.

Your hosts this episode: Patrique OptimalAudio Traviud This episode the podcast is joined once again by frequent guest Traviud to discuss the talk of the last whole week with the release of Kendrick Lamar's return album "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers". The podcast gets in deep to the touchy and yet personal topics that Kendrick tackles on his new album and try to work through each of their own separate takes and feelings on the project as a whole. Don't fret however as the takes run the gamut and there's still plenty of time to shit on Joe Budden's dwindling legitimacy, wrestle with the inclusions of Kodak Black, and discuss whether Baby Keem is a shining example of nepotism in action or not.
