Low End Marauders

Back at it with episode 80, Nick holds the fort down this episode. We kick things off with a celebration of one of the greatest hood movies of all time: Friday. The movie turns 30 in 2025, and Nick asks if it is the greatest hood movie of all time, over Boyz in the Hood, Menace 2 Society, and more. His answer may surprise you based on quotables, longevity, cast, and messaging in the movie. After that, social media is flooded with pictures left and right of Mt. Rushmore on certain subjects from Air Jordans, comedians, basketball players, etc. One that has struck with Nick for this episode to discuss is a picture of white rappers on Mount Rushmore. Nick gives his thoughts on the picture and gives his opinion of his version. Later, rapper Dody6 featured on Kendrick Lamar's "Hey Now" is now blaming him for being homeless after Dody claims that the song didn't do anything to help him financial wise. Nick asks questions about the entire situation and gives advice for Dody about what to do next.

Back at it again with another new episode and another new season of the Low End Marauders podcast! Nick kicks season five off by describing how some season five episodes will change throughout the season and gets right into the big news and uproar that has been going around. On September 8th, just hours before the beginning of kickoff on NFL Sunday week one, The NFL announced that Kendrick Lamar will be performing on the Super Bowl Halftime Show on February 9th, 2025. (Incorrectly announced on the 5th while recording.) While some people have expressed excitement on Kendrick performing, many are PISSED to say that it should have been Lil Wayne who should have the spot. Nick explains how the process is selected for the show, should Wayne have a Halftime Show in the future and more!!

Back again with the season four finale! Nick holds down the fort as he kicks things off with his review on the 2024 BET Awards. The lone marauder gives his hot takes on the best, worst and WTF moments of the award ceremony and asks if or how BET can make their summertime ceremony more enjoyable for the at home viewers. Next, Kendrick Lamar popped out and showed people how to unite Los Angeles with a concert held at the Kia Forum in LA. The rapper surprisingly brought out rappers old and new to join him on stage on June 19th and dropped some Easter eggs for the viewers during the live broadcast. Nick gives his view on the entire live show and calls cap on someone saying that they weren't bothered on not being a part of the show. After that, Rick Ross gets punched in the face after a festival in Vancouver on June 30th. Seemingly due to the Teflon Don, playing Kendrick's "Not Like Us" on Drake's home turf. Nick will ask if the Kendrick/Drake beef is starting to go to far now that violence has entered the conversation. All that plus, laughs, album recommendations, shoutouts and more!!!

Back again and apologies for the late upload! Nick holds it down again with a brand new episode with A LOT to talk about! With everything going on with the Kendrick Lamar/Drake rap battle, we decided to spend this episode covering the entire saga, from it's beginning with Drake and J. Cole's "First Person Shooter" (October 3, 2023) and everything in between to Drake releasing "The Heart Part 6" (May 5). Nick gives his takes on everything that happened in the rap battle timeline and asks a big question at the end concerning the loser of the beef.

Late upload, but we are back again with another new episode of the Low End Marauders podcast! Nick holds things down again as he talks about how everyone is coming after Drake thanks to Future and Metro Boomin's new album We Don't Trust You. Nick gives his takes on Kendrick Lamar's verse on the much talked about track "Like That", if Kendrick does drop a diss track on Drake and if he should respond back. Plus, Nick quickly touches on Drake and Lil Wayne being caught in a picture using a teleprompter during a stop on Drake's tour. After that, Nelly stops by HBO's The Shop to say that he rapped in the hardest era to be number one. Among the likes of DMX, Jay Z, Eminem and many others. Nick breaks down each era of rap that he has lived through and gives his surprising answer on if Nelly is right. Later, Freaknik the documentary made it's way onto Hulu. The festival started in 1983 in Atlanta and soon became known as "black Spring Break" for students around the Atlanta area. The festival started to attract more and more students as its popularity grew throughout the 80s and 90s, but as the popularity grew, the more tense it got for students especially around 1996 with the Summer Olympics. Nick gives his review on the documentary and wonders if something as big as Freaknik could ever happen today in 2024.

After a long break the show is BACK for 2024 and back with another new episode of the show! Only Nick holds things down for this time around as he kicks things off by touching on why fans were underwhelmed by Jeezy's Tiny Desk performance. Fans called out the show by saying the audience in attendance was bad for the show, the setlist that he had and the location of the show. Nick gives his thoughts on everything and if he liked or hated the show. Next up, Cardi B came back with a new track "Like What (Freestyle)" which had a lot of people talking including Joe Budden who says the pretty girl wave rap is over. Nick gives his thoughts on if it is over and how Cardi's new single sounds. After that, ScHoolboy Q's highly anticipated new Blue Lips recently dropped to give west coast rap a shot in the arm to stay relevant while the South and NY rap is all over the place. Nick reviews the album and ask if Q's Blue Lips can revive the west coast back to what it once was a decade ago. All that plus shoutouts, an album recommendation and a lot more!!

Been gone for a minute but we are BACK with another new episode of LEM! Nick and Jared are back at the helm and we kick things off with the breaking news of the split between Cardi B and Offset. Cardi recently told fans on Instagram Live that she is now single, only to fuel the fires (again) of Offset cheating on her, especially with rumors going around the he slept with Chrisean Rock at a party that all three attended. We give our thoughts on the entire situation and find out what both parties should do post breakup. After that, Andre 3000 FINALLY dropped a solo album, only to disappoint fans by saying that it wasn't going to be a rap album since he had nothing to rap about at the age of 48. Lil Wayne chimed in on Andre's comments by saying that it was "depressing". We give our thoughts on 3000's new album and ask if Wayne was right to call it depressing that Andre had nothing to rap about. Next, with Busta Rhymes dropping a new album Blockbusta, he stopped on KickGame's UK show Shopping for Sneakers. When host, Craig Mitch, ask Busta on who can beat him in a Verzuz battle, Busta confidently said: "nobody!". We put his theory to the test and ask if someone can go round for round with Busta or wonder if he's right. After that, from Drake's midlife crisis and rappers showing no originality to celebrating 50 years of hip hop, we take a look back at the best and worst of the genre in 2023.

On our 2023 NFL Week 3 Miami Dolphins massacre over the Denver Broncos episode, Nick and Jared hold things down and kick things off over the huge news that Usher will be headlining the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show in Las Vegas. The marauders touch on if Usher's halftime show will be better than Rihanna's and what we should expect when he hits the stage in 2024. Next up, Chris Brown and R&B singer Tinashe go blow for blow with words after the songstress recently said in an interview that regretted doing songs with both Brown and R. Kelly. Chris caught wind and decided to clap back with a scathing response to her. We not only ask if she should regret doing the song with Chris but if or how she can avoid more situations like this in the future. After that, what do Teyana Taylor, Jeezy, Remy and Papoose all have in common this fall? All of the aforementioned are heading for separation/divorce within these few weeks. We ask whose split was the most shocking, who can still save their relationship/marriage or who should stay split up.

Been gone for a minute but we are finally back with another new and funny episode of the podcast. We kick things off with LL Cool J's comments on rappers retiring on Sway In The Morning. Before kicking a freestyle on the show, he talks about how rap isn't a sport and calls out those who flirt with want to retire as a way of being bored with their careers. The marauders give their take on LL's words on retirement and why we shouldn't fall for it. After that, we talk about ageism in hip hop today after rapper Asian Doll wrote in a now deleted post on Twitter/X that people who are trying to make it in rap at/over the age of 30 is crazy. With the word going around thanks to DJ Akademics, other rappers sounded off on the post through social media as well. Nick and Jared give their thoughts on Asian Doll's post and also comment on Gillie Da Kid's comment on stop rapping past the age of 35 months ago on his podcast. Plus they ask if there should be an age limit on people trying to rap and make it in the rap game. Later, after celebrating 50 years of rap/hip hop on August 11th, many publications from Rolling Stone to Complex have made lists on the best rappers/groups/songs of all time by celebrating. Rappers have also voiced their opinions on some lists and some have even ask people on why certain rappers haven't made these lists and ask why they were overlooked. California rapper Mistah F.A.B. asked while watching the Hip Hop 50 concert from Yankee Stadium why MC Hammer wasn't a part of the show due to his contributions in the early 90s. Producer Pete Rock, asked why his late cousin Heavy D didn't get his name onto any lists after what Pete Rock said Heavy D did for the genre. We ask who should have been recognized more out of the two legends on these lists. All that a brand new game with hip hop videos, laughs, album recommendations, shout outs and more!!

We are BACK with a brand new episode and a brand new season of the Low End Marauders podcast! Jared and Nick are back once again with new topics to talk, debate and discuss. We kick things off with Drake on tour with 21 Savage and with the first stop in Chicago (July 5), Drake calls out Childish Gambino for his 2018 hit "This is America" by calling it overrated and over awarded while performing "Headlines". The boys talk about the moment and wonder about the motive of the move 5 years later and ask who we are taking if a beef were to happen. Next, Megan Thee Stallion and R&B songstress Janelle Monae have fun at this year's Essence Festival by wilding out during their respective sets. With Megan during her usual performance schtick and Monae pulling out and exposing her breast albeit with a pasty on it, soul singer India.Arie voiced her disappointment with both women's sets. We ask if she was right to say that about what happened and if there should be age restrictions on festivals. After that, producer and cowriter for 2Pac's "Keep Ya Head Up", DJ Daryl says that he has 2Pac vocals still in his vault and wants to release it through new music and possibly a new album. The marauders aren't feeling this news due to them saying that it feels the producer is trying to do this as a way of clout and attention. But they ask the question if new 2Pac in 2023 will work today and if anyone should collaborate on said album. All that plus, shoutouts, solo Wu-Tang albums Rank'd, album recommendations and more!!

It's the end of season three and Nick and Jared are here to take us out in style. We sadly kick things off from where we left last time with the unfortunate passing of Wild N Out/85 South Show cast member DC Young Fly's girlfriend Jacky Oh. Oh passed away (May 31) due to a surgical procedure called a "mommy makeover". The marauders talk and give their condolences to her and discuss if the toxic culture of plastic surgery for women in rap will be a continuous trend due to her passing or if the trend will sadly continue. Next up, frequent OutKast collaborator Sleepy Brown was caught up at LAX (June 13) and told TMZ that the group is over and to not expect any new music from the duo soon. We debate on if it is the end of the legendary Atlanta group and ask if Aquemini or ATLiens is the best album from OutKast since Brown said the former was their best work due to both men flexing their production skills on Aquemini. After that, it's been a dry spell for rap in the first half of 2023. Why? No rap album or single has hit number one on the Billboard Charts so far (as of this episode) and hasn't had this happen since 1993. We ask each other what's going on to have this happen and give our picks on who will be the first to have a number one album and single on the charts. All that, plus more 90s albums Rank'd, album recommendations, shout outs and more!!

It's been a long time.... But we are back yet again with another new episode of the show! Nick and Jared are back again to kick things off with Ice Cube voicing his opinions on AI generated music that has been going around on social media for a while. Cube calls it demonic and says that he will sue anyone if a creator tries to use his voice on an AI generated song without his permission. We ask if Ice Cube is overreacting on the entire situation and if rappers and musicians should follow suit on suing people. Next up, Beef erupts between Rick Ross and The Breakfast Club's DJ Envy over car shows and appearances to the point where women, rappers and everyone in between gets caught in the crossfire. With both men taking jabs at each other and casualties getting involved, we ask if the "beef" between them went way too far and if this was one of the most pointless feuds in hip hop history. After that, Missy Elliott becomes the first solo female act to be inducted into this year's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (will be inducted in Brooklyn in November). With her being inducted along with DJ Kool Herc, this year we look back on her illustrious career and ask the question on if she is the greatest female rapper of all time.

Back again after being gone for a while! Nick and Jared are here to give you more hip hop news and questions since our last episode! We kick things off by discussing Complex's first annual Hip Hop Media Power Ranking List that made its rounds on April 3rd. Coming in at #1 was Joe Budden due to his success with his highly popular Joe Budden Podcast. We ask if the good folks at Complex got the list right and who should be higher or lower on the list. After that, 6ix9ine made headlines for all the wrong reasons when he got jumped in a Florida LA Fitness gym bathroom by three men (March 22). A few days later, he would have an interview with NBC 6 South Florida (April 6) to deny that the beatdown was staged due to people on social media having their suspicions. We ask if the beatdown that he suffered was real or staged and if there's a lesson to be learned from 6ix9ine's situation. Next up, social media came alive when people started to dream a potential Verzuz matchup with 50 Cent and Lil Wayne. Hot 97 DJ, Ebro said that he's taking 50 for the winner of the battle if it were to happen. On paper, the marauders chose Lil Wayne as the winner but we ask if 50 were to accept, what can he do in order to win against the Young Money rapper. Later, Jim Jones sounds off on Pusha T on the Rap Caviar Podcast by saying that King Push isn't a top 50 of all time due to his music "isn't being played outside and no one wants to dress like him", etc. Plus, Jim doubles down on Drake being the greatest rapper of all time during the same interview due to the records that he has broken and his cultural influence. The marauders ask where Push should be ranked on an all time rapper list and if he is in fact a top 50 rapper. All that, plus ranking the best first and second album combos, shout outs, laughs and album recommendations and more!!

It's been a long time, we hate we left you. But now we got a new episode to step to! Nick and Jared hold things down again and kick things off with Complex's List of the Best Rapper Alive for 2022 and they have decided to name Sir 21 the Savage as that. The marauders have a problem with Complex naming him that considering that both Kendrick Lamar and Pusha T have had a better year than him. They name who was the better rapper of 2022 out of those three and give their takes on why 21 Savage was named that from the site. Next up, 50 Cent went onto Shaq's The Big Podcast with Shaq (January 24) and gave a take on Eminem having a more bigger and better impact on hip hop than Jay Z. We argue on who the better impact, who came out of the respective rapper's camp, and who has come the furthest from where they started. After that, Latto had an interview with Billboard (February 24) to touch base on her brief beef with Nicki Minaj a few months ago, and called it "disappointing" after the two went back and forth via Twitter over Latto's song "Big Energy" became nominated for a Grammy in the rap category while Nicki's song "Super Freaky Girl" wasn't nominated at all. We give our takes on who came out the winner of this and ask if Nicki is bitter. Later, after hearing about the sad passing of De La Soul memeber Trugoy the Dove (February 12) we pay our respects to the fallen member, tell oir favorite songs and ask if De La Soul is a top five rap group of all time like we did the Beasties last year. All that, plus our toughest One Gotta Go in quite some time, shout outs, album recommendations and more!! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/low-end-marauders/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/low-end-marauders/support

Happy 2023 to you and yours! We are back with more madness and hip hop topics for the new year as Nick and Jared catch you up with everything that's happen since we last left off due to the holidays. We sadly start the show off with the untimely passing of former Three 6 Mafia member, Gangsta Boo who died at the age of 43. As of this episode (recorded January 9), there has been no official cause of death but the marauders do look back and talk about their favorite memories and songs from her. We then shift from the sad to the serious when news broke that Gunna has been released from prison after pleading guilty to racketeering charges. Even though he has been released from prison, a lot of people have had mixed feelings about him being home and the way he came home due to his leaked courtroom video. We asked and wondered if Gunna snitched his way home and ask if all snitching is equal. More court case news continues as Tory Lanez was found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion all the way back in 2020 and faces up to 25 years in prison and deportation back to Canada. The marauders give our thoughts on the entire case, now that it's over and wonder if Tory's career is over due to the ruling. After that, the boys hear and discuss on Drake's brand new necklace that's worth almost $13 million. The reason why Drake's new jewelry is been talked about is due to the 42 diamonds that's in it thanks to the number of times Drake thought about proposing to women in his lifetime. We laugh and play the guessing game of the number of women he wanted to propose to. All that plus, One Gotta Go: Albums of 2022 edition, laughs, album recommendations, shoutouts and a lot more!!

Back at it again with another new episode of the show with Nick and Jared (and Kyle in spirit) and the marauders kick things off with an interesting list from Rolling Stone. The music magazine published (November 28) online their 50 worst decisions in music history with some hip hop picks thrown in the mix. One pick is an obvious one from (you guessed it) Kanye West and two were picks from the 90s. See what we said about those decisions that Rolling Stone mentioned plus a surprising tidbit from one rapper on the list thrown in during the segment. Next, up and coming Memphis rapper Glo Rilla sounds off on women wanting to find love in clubs in 2022/23. The boys give our opinions on if what she says is right or wrong since they can't speak on the behalf of women. After that, T.I. had social media talking about him after an old clip resurfaced on him (from August 2020) about him snitching on a dead relative before his music career took off. We ask if we should be vilifying T.I. for doing that, if his music career will take a hit and if we should give him the same treatment as 6ix9ine. All that, plus laughs, Ab-Soul albums ranked, shoutouts, album recommendations and more!!

Happy belated Thanksgiving to everyone here in the states, as Nick and Jared are finally full from leftovers and are back with another new episode of the show! The marauders kick things off by celebrating Nas' new album King's Disease III by alerting the listeners of its critical and fan praise between producer Hit-Boy and rapper Nas. The marauders ultimately crown the new as a rare achievement for Nas as a four-peat on him and Hit-Boy four album run. (King's Disease, KD II, Magic & KD III) We later dive in and give our picks on which other artists may have an under/overrated four-peat in hip hop and with some surprises. After that, Grammy nominations were released (Nov. 15) to (no surprise) lots of outrage and some surprises as Beyonce leads the pack with nine nominations. But the biggest buzz in the culture was the nominee for the Best Rap Album category. (DJ Khaled, Future, Jack Harlow, Pusha T and Kendrick Lamar). We voice our opinions on which rapper deserves to win the award. Plus, with Khaled and Harlow respective albums being critically panned, Nick gives 10 albums on which should have took their places that were better reviewed and received by fans and critics. After that, Bow Wow gets back into the news again after he attempted and failed to shoot his shot on AEW wrestler Jade Cargill. With the two going back and forth on Twitter, we ask if the entire situation is real or if it's something that the company is cooking up in order to please its fans. Later, the marauders attempt to solve a math problem involving Saweetie and her recent album doing a shockingly low 2000 albums sold. We ask what went wrong, who is to blame for the sales and what Saweetie can do to revive her career. All that and, Ludacris ranked, shout outs, album recommendations, laughs and lots more!!

Back again with a late upload and technical issues for this episode (apologies!). Nick and Jared hold things down with Kyle in spirit as they sadly start things off with the untimely passing of former Migos member Takeoff who was shot and killed in Houston back on November 1st. We give our thoughts on the situation that took place and give our favorite Migos moments and songs. We then shift to a lighter but messier note with Drake, and his new album with 21 Savage, Her Loss. We ask if Drake was doing too much with all the shots on the album that was hurled at people like Serena Williams' husband, Megan Thee Stallion, Ice Spice and more. Plus we give our takes on the album itself and if we should expect a sad Drake with how he has been acting on the album. After that, we visit our old friend, Lil Pump and talk about his recent appearance on The Bootleg Kev Show. During the show, he was asked if J. Cole correctly predicted his career after his track "1985" which took shots on Pump throughout the song. We debate if Pump's career is over or if it's still worth saving. All that and producer One Gotta Go, shoutouts, album recommendations, laughs and a lot more!!

Another new month, another brand new episode of the podcast. Despite the technical difficulties and late post, Nick and Jared are here to give inputs on this episode and we kick things off with all things Kanye West and his rollercoaster of a week. We start with the timeline of everything that has happened to Kanye since the last episode with him being on HBO's The Shop and having that episode pulled to his controversial and damning appearance on N.O.R.E.'s Drink Champs interview (and later pulled off the Internet) to him losing over $600 million due to his remarks. We go through each point that has happened with him, give our thoughts and say if we are done with Kanye's BS antics and ask what does it take to finally not pay attention to him. Next, the ladies come out and are ready to fight as Nicki Minaj and Latto go head to head via Twitter due to Nicki's single "Super Freaky Girl" being nominated for the pop Grammy categories despite it being a rap song. Minaj took to Twitter and called out Latto's "Big Energy" single for being nominated and then the two slowly starting back and forth on the platform. We ask ourselves which female is in wrong for the whole spat and ask if there's a such thing as female unity in hip hop. After that, while speaking on the Grammy's, what do Drake, The Weeknd and Silk Sonic all have in common besides being artists? All three artists are starting to withdraw from the 2023 Grammy Awards due to reasons that we'll explain on the segment. We ask if their reasons are legit for bowing out of the ceremony and ask (again?) if hip hop needs the Grammy's or if they need hip hop. All that plus, Halloween release One Gotta Go, shoutouts, album recommendations and a lot more!!

Back again with a brand new episode of the show! This go around Nick and Jared hold things down for Kyle as they first get into DaBaby and him saying that he's being blackballed from the industry after his 2021 Rolling Loud festival comments after dropping his new album Baby on Baby 2. His latest single "Boogeyman" has people talking about it for some good and some wrong reasons. We discuss if his album is worth listening to, if he should be forgiven for his actions and if he is or isn't getting blackballed. After that, Kanye West is back in the news again and causing controversy with his White Lives Matter shirt that he had models wear out at a Paris fashion show and went to discuss the actions behind the shirt with Fox News' Tucker Carlson. We give our thoughts and opinions on why Kanye would have and Nick asks a very serious question about Mr. West during the segment. Next, the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards have come and gone and the show had a lot of highlights including GloRilla's standing ovation win, cyphers, unaired Kendrick Lamar and Drake wins and a lot more. We talk about what our favorite and worst moments of the BET telecast were. Later, now that the Migos have (unofficially?) called it quits, Quavo and Takeoff have dropped a new project called Only Built for Infinity Links to surprisingly good reviews from the marauders. We give our thoughts on the album and ask if the duo should want to work with Offset again if the split has been confirmed or if he was the weaker link in the trio.

Sorry for the late post but we are back with a brand new episode with Nick and Jared. The guys kick things off continuing on commenting on PnB Rock's death and hearing Fat Joe's comments on his death on Hell of a Week on Comedy Central. We talk about his comments and ask if he was out of line with what he said. Next up, we swerve off track to talk about Rihanna headlining the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show. We give our thoughts on it and expectations so far. After that, we get back on course and talk about Dissect Podcast's new side show, Last Song Standing. During the seven episode season, host Cole Cushna and The Ringer's Charles Holmes crowned Kendrick Lamar's greatest song from his ENTIRE discography and they both agreed on one song of his as his greatest song EVER. We debate on if his song is truly considered to be the best. Next, DJ Akademiks had the whole hip hop world talking due to his drunken(?) Twitch rant and calling old school rappers "dusty". The interview had a lot of old school rappers including LL Cool J give his thoughts via Instagram. We ask what Akademiks can do to calm the storm on his comments from that Twitch stream. Later, after seeing Kanye West on a Good Morning America interview he finally admitted to radio host, Sway had the answers from his infamous 2013 Sway's Universe interview after the host asked him to go into business for himself. We give our thoughts on him finally coming clean during the interview. All that plus, Ranked West Coast Albums, shoutouts, album recommendations and more!!

Late but back with another episode of the podcast! Nick and Jared hold things down and sadly kick things off with late breaking news on the sad passing of PnB Rock. Rock was sadly killed after being robbed at LA's famed Rosoce's Chicken & Waffles while dining with his girlfriend. As more on the story progresses, we give our shocking thoughts and feelings on the entire situation. We move on to a lighter note and talk about Joey Bada$$'s list of rappers turn actors. Social media did have some thoughts and let their opinions fly after Joey appeared on DJ Superstar Jay on Shade 45 to give out his list due to Joey becoming a rapper turned actor himself. Nick and Jared give their favorite rapper turned actors list while discussing Joey's list. Next up, after the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II, Kanye West went on Instagram and told the world that he wants to end his beefs with Pete Davidson, Kid Cudi and Adidas GM Daniel Cherry. With all the olive branch being extended, we ask if Kanye is being genuine about killing his beefs, or if it's all one big publicity stunt. Next up, Joyner Lucas went on Hot 97's Funk Flex show and dropped a freestyle that left Flex in awe. After the dope freestyle, we ask if the freestyle is good enough to get Joyner back on track after a disappointing first album. After that, with all the arrests going on in hip hop today with rappers over their lyrics and having it used against them in court, The Breakfast Club's Charlamagne tha God says that rappers from the 90s are to blame for what's going on. After listening to what he said, the marauders ask themselves if he's right or wrong on rappers incriminating themselves for the crimes they are commiting.

It's been a long time but we are BACK and have a brand new episode of the podcast for you! Nick and Jared hold things down and kick things off with 50 Cent. 50 was recently on a Houston radio station and commented on how today making a rap record is easy, since everyone in 2022 sounds the same, over the same beats and sounds, we ask each other if 50 is right and what rappers can do to make themselves sound different in today's landscape. Next up, Ms. Nicki Minaj gets honored at this year's VMAs (August 28) with the highest honor of winning the Video Vanguard Award and becoming the ninth female overall to win it. (Missy Elliot was last to win the honor in 2019.) While we briefly look back at her career, we ask if it's too soon for Nicki to win the award since of the marauders feels like it's too early for her to win that award. After that, Chance the Rapper appeared on NY's The Breakfast Club morning show to address what's next for him, and to talk about how he has "falling off" since dropping The Big Day to negative reviews from fans. The marauders ask not only if he did fall off with that album but what he can do to get his fanbase back. Later, The Game finally dropped his long awaited album Drillmatic to a 31 track rollout with featured everyone under the sun. The track that has people talking the most is his diss to Eminem on "The Black Slim Shady" which has a lot of people talking about it to mixed reviews. We give our opinions on the diss track and give our first impressions on Game's new album and ask if it was worth the wait.

Back again with another new episode with Nick & Jared kick things by starting off with some New York beef with Conway the Machine venting his frustrations on NY DJ Funk(master) Flex on him not being able to play Conway's music and accuses him of gatekeeping. As the two keep trading shot via social media, we ask if Conway should care about his music being played on the radio or if he should stick to streaming services and the mixtape world. Next up, one of the greatest ever, Jay Z, made a surprise appearance on Kevin Hart's new show Heart to Hart (Peacock) and tells the host that as of now, he not retired from music but he has no plans to make music. We ask the question on if it's time to Jay to hang it up and also giving our predictions on when he should drop his next album. After that, T Pain appears on DJ Akademiks Twitch channel to talk about the late great Tupac Shakur. During the show, Tallahassee Pain said that Tupac would have been "ate the f--k up (PAUSE!) due to the lyrics that we hear today" if he survived his fatal 1996 shooting in Vegas. We give our opinions on what Pac would be doing from 1997 to today and if he would be more interested in movies or music in 2022.

Back again with another new episode and another BRAND NEW SEASON of the show. Nick and Jared kick the season off after enjoying the long 4th of July weekend with Bobby Shmurda's rant on producers wanting him to pay up to 5 digits for beats that he wants, but feels like they are asking for way too much money. Some producers are responding back on why they feel the need to charge more for their beats. The marauders discuss on if producers should be getting paid the same as rappers or if they should be getting paid more. After that, the 2022 BET Awards have come and gone and a lot of surprises took place from Kanye's first appearance in almost a decade, to Brandy and Jack Harlow squashing their "beef" to Mariah Carey and Shyne taking the stage. We give our picks on what we loved and hated about the show and what we could have wished for. Later, social media was abuzz with the Omarion/Ray J/Mario/Sammie Verzuz battle that took place and it became memorable for all the wrong reasons. We talk and laugh about the entire battle and crown a undisputed winner (Spoiler Alert: It wasn't Ray J) and hear Ray J's excuse on what happened with his performance. All that plus album recommendations, shoutouts, more storytelling songs to be Rank'd and more!!

Apologies for the late drop, but Nick and Jared are back with the final episode of season two and they go out with a bang by kicking the off with Rolling Stone's Top 200 Greatest Hip Hop Albums of All Time list that had a lot of people talking for better and mostly for worse. We talk about what the magazine ranked as number one and one particular album that ranked higher than a lot of critical applauded and fan favorite albums (list further below in the notes). Next up, The Game is on his rap Wrestlemania rollout with his new album Drillmatic and is still hurt about him not being included at this year's Super Bowl but still continues to drag down Eminem. We give our thoughts on if we have high or low expectations for his upcoming album especially since there's no track listing (as of this episode) and no released singles. After that, XXL dropped their annual Freshman List on who's next to break out in hip hop (list and link further below in notes). We talk about the up and coming rappers and give our takes on who will break out in 2022 AND discuss our favorite years of the XXL Freshman List from the past. Later, Drake surprised the world by dropping a new album Honestly, Nevermind and... it divided a lot of fans and people have given it negative reviews. We give our (negative) takes on Drake's new album to lots of laughs. All that and Wu-Tang, laughs, album recommendations and more!

Back again with another new episode with Nick & Jared kicking things off with an old school vs. new school generation battle with Soulja Boy claiming that the old school rappers that came before him, haven't done anything for the new generation of rap artists (May 30) and legendary producer Pete Rock talks down on the new generation of rap by saying that drill rap (a subgenre of rap music with violent, gritty and realistic lyrics rapped over a slowed down beat) is trash due to him seeing people in his native Brooklyn dying in the street (May 27). We address both topics and give our thoughts and who we rule in favor of with the old school/new school war of words. Next up, the 2022 BET Awards nominations were announced (June 1) with Doja Cat leading the pack with six nominations but with everyone getting nominations for the show, one person in particular wasn't fond of not being nominated: Lil Nas X. With Queen Latifah backing him up and saying that he should have been on the ballot, we give our votes on whether or not he should have been and we give our annual predictions on the award show (June 26). After that, Yo! MTV Raps has made a comeback on Paramount+ with new hosts, battle rapper/Wild N Out castmember Conceited and DJ Diamond Kutz. We look back on the show which launched careers, gave first peeks at up and coming artists and had lots of memorable live perfomances and tell our favorite moments and then ask if Yo! was a better show than their rival show (BET's) Rap City and some answers may surprise you. All that plus, Reverse One Gotta Go, laughs, mistakes, COVID coughs, album recommendations and more!!

Despite those damn delays, we are back with our half century episode and we kick things off by giving out our Report Card Rating on Kendrick Lamar's Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers album which had the whole world talking when it came out on the 13th. We also talk about the controversy surrounding the album with Kendrick bringing in Kodak Black to appear on the album due to his legal problems in the past and ask if he was right to be featured on Mr. Morale. After that, YSL gets in deep trouble with Young Thug and Gunna being arrested for conspiring to  violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, murder, armed robbery and participation in criminal street gang activity. With Young Thug being arrested and Gunna following suit a few days later, we give our thoughts on what comes next for both rappers and if their careers will be the same post RICO indictment. Later, 6 months after the Astroworld tragedy in Houston, Travis Scott made his first TV appearance by performing at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards in Vegas (May 15th). We ask ourselves if it is too early or if Travis should have waited in order to reappear on TV. Also, storytelling songs ranked, laughs, album recommendations and an announcement about the show!

Sorry for the delay (again) but we are back with a brand new episode with Nick and Jared rocking the mic and kicking things off with up and coming rapper DDG taking to Twitter and saying that rappers today are ten times better than rapper from the past. We debate on if DDG was right to make those comments and some of our comments may surprise you and we'll tell you who is better in what from the old and new schools. Next up, Pusha T is having a hell of a year so far with his album It's Almost Dry coming in at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart, the Arby's Spicy Fish diss to McDonald's (still fire! no pun intended) and going on a promotional tour to hype up the album. Some fans were thinking that he sent a shot at Cardi B in his song "Dreaming of the Past" due to a lyric in his song. We ask if it was a direct shot to her and if Cardi B deserved the Best Rap Album Grammy from 2019. After that, May 4th marks the 10 year passing of legendary rapper MCA of the Beastie Boys due to cancer. We take a look back at the boys' career, achievements and influences then ask if the trio from NYC is a top five hip hop group of all time since asking if top ten was too easy of a question. All that plus, ranking Kendrick Lamar's first five albums in our toughest Rank'd yet due to Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers dropping on May 13th, album recommendations, shoutouts and a lot more!!

Sorry for the delay! but we are back with another new episode with Nick and Jared and we kick things off with A$AP Rocky and him getting busted at LAX. Rocky was arrested and then later released due to a shooting incident that happened back in November 2021 where he allegedly shot a man in his hand in the Hollywood area. We give our quick thoughts on the entire situation surrounding him and if it'll hurt his career. After that, Fivio Foreign went on The Angie Martinez Show (April 12) and told Angie that Jay Z was the greatest rapper to come out of Brooklyn with Fivio being a Brooklyn native himself. We discuss if the answer was a safe answer to save face and if Jay really is the greatest MC to come out of the Brooklyn with others coming out like MC Lyte, B.I.G., Big Daddy Kane and more. Next, upcoming rapper Coi Leroy is in the headlines for her album TRENDSETTERS, but for some for all the wrong reasons, as her album is projected to sell 9,000 copies sold in its first week. We ask ourselves if the album is considered a flop in 2022 streaming services standards and if she can improve her craft or if it's too late for her. Later, Doja Cat is having a great 2022 so far with her winning a GRAMMY (April 4), performing at Coachella (April 17) and getting the respect she deserves from her peers including rapper Wale. The Nigerian rapper said on Twitter that Doja is one of the best rappers in the world today and Remy Ma saying that she isn't a rapper on an episode of Drink Champs but still gave Doja Cat her respect. We debate if Doja Cat is considered a rapper or should she be called a pop star and what should she do in order to get more respect from her rap peers and how she should challenge herself.

For this episode Nick and Kyle hold things down and kick things with the slap seen around the world! Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at The Oscars before presenting an award had the whole world talking even though Will won an award for his role in King Richard later on in the night. But the slap has drawn a lot of criticism from fans, viewers of the live show and celebrities alike. As of stepping down from The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences back on the first, and then a week later being banned for a decade from all Oscars events, we give our thoughts on him being banned for ten years and the entire Chris Rock situation. Next up, the 64th annual GRAMMYs happened on April 3rd and hip hop came through and had some winners from Lil Baby to Doja Cat to Tyler, the Creator. With the aforementioned winning Best Rap Album over J. Cole, Nas and Kanye West, we ask if the GRAMMYs made the right call on having Call Me If You Get Lost as the winner. After that, T.I. has found life as a stand up comedian these last few months, but, has lashed out at a comedienne during her set after she brought up his 2021 sexual allegations case with him and his wife that was thrown out in court. Even though both parties have made up, we say on why T.I. was wrong to lash out and if we would pay to see him perform stand up. Later, TRIGGER WARNING!!!, the family of slain DMV rapper Goonew made a decision to bring his body to a nightclub's closing party and had the dead rapper standing upright on stage while people were partying. We ask if the family went way too far by bringing the cadaver to the nightclub. All that plus, Best Rap Album One Gotta Go, shoutouts, album recommendations and more!

On this episode of the podcast, Nick and Jared hold things down and talk about social media's biggest troll who goes by the name of 6ix9ine telling a judge that he's gone broke and the bubble has popped. He also says that he's so broke right now that he can't afford gas according to his manager Wack 100 when back in September 2021 he claimed to have had a "$43 million worth of business". We give our thoughts and takes on 6ix9ine going broke and drop some gems on him. After that, Kanye West is back at it again with him going off on Instagram by taking shots on comedians D.L. Hughley and The Daily Show host Trevor Noah with both of them voicing their concern on West's recent behavior and West firing back to the point of him being suspended off of Instagram for 24 hours and him being kicked off the performers list at this year's GRAMMYs (which is hosted by Noah). We discuss if him being for 24 hours was enough and then wonder if Trevor Noah was responsible for Kanye being pulled off the show like his "Eazy" collaborator The Game wrote online. Next, Pusha T has beef with McDonald's! After being stiffed for $500K for him cowriting the "I'm Lovin' It" jingle for the brand and Justin Timberlake getting $6 million, King Push dropped a diss track aiming at the fast food chain and linking up with Arby's to fire shots. We say if him recording the track was a good move or not and tell you how much he may get from Arby's from the song. Later, what do Jay Z, Logic, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, The Game, J. Cole and many others have in common?, (besides being rappers) they have all flirted with retirement at one point in their careers but as we all know, no rapper than does announce it never really stays retired. We ask the question on why rappers can't stay retired and what they should do in order to officially retire from the rap game. All that, plus laughs, fall offs, album recommendations and a lot more!!

On this episode of the show, all three marauders are back in our makeshift Internet studio and we kick things off on Joe Budden talking down on Megan the Stallion on his podcast by saying she isn't a superstar due to album sales or lack their of.  We give our takes on what makes a superstar and if Megan fills in those credentials to be called a superstar. Speaking of Joe Budden, he let his feelings be known along with Royce da 5'9 when their former Slaughterhouse MCs, Joell Ortiz and Kxng Crooked made an album titled "Rise & Fall of Slaughterhouse". The album drew a lot of criticism from both Joe and Royce especially since both have not heard the album but aired our how pissed they were on Instagram Live. We debate on if Joell and Kxng Crooked were right to use the Slaughterhouse name for the album and if they should get back together as a group especially since Joe has retired from rapping. Next up, The Game has made his feelings known about going one on one against Eminem but saying he can outrap him, beating him in a Verzuz battle, and his newest achievement of having the most gold and platinum plaques in RIAA history not meaning much to him. We take sides on if a potential Verzuz were to happen who would win. All that plus, coke rap One Gotta Go, shoutouts and more!

On this episode, Nick and Kyle hold the fort down and kick things off by report card rating this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar & Mary J. Blige with most viewers saying that they enjoyed the show with some criticizing the show of it being too short to Eminem kneeling during the set. We give our thoughts on the set and drop some easter eggs on some things you didn't know during the performance. Next up, Kanye West (yeah we're talking about him again) had a roller coaster like two weeks since the last episode with the break up of him and Julia Fox (February 14th), him and Kid Cudi on bad terms again and him promoting Donda 2 and telling fans that the album will be exclusively on Stem Players for the low price of $200. But the (one sided social media) war of words has taken place against him and SNL castmate/Kim Kardashian's boyfriend, Pete Davidson. With all the threats against Pete and with some being thrown at Kim's way, we ask if it's time for Kim to start seeing a judge in order to stop Kanye from making threats against the couple. After that, with Megan thee Stallion's court case just getting started against Tory Lanez after he shot her back in 2020. With Tory giving his side on the incident and "apologizing" we wonder if Tory will face jail time for what happened back in 2020. Later with Buffalo, NY rapper Conway the Machine releasing his latest album God Don't Make Mistakes out now, he recently said that he is no longer apart of both Griselda and Shady Records after fulfilling his contractual agreement with both labels. We ask where he should sign next of if he should stay signed to his own label. All that, plus ranked hip hop duos, recommendations and more!!

For this episode, all three marauders are back and ready to talk about the biggest music story of 2022 (...so far) with Rihanna and Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky expecting their first child together after pictures of the two were spotted holding hands around New York and Rihanna sporting her pregnancy bump for the world to see. Even though the two are becoming first time parents, we ask each other if we'll be hearing new music from either before the year is up. Next up, in 1992, Snoop Dogg was signed to Death Row Records at the age of 22 and released one of the best debut albums in hip hop history under the imprint. Now, 30 years later, Snoop has become the owner of the label he was on. We speculate what's next for tha Doggfather (see what we did there?) now that he owns Death Row and we see and wonder what happens if one of the biggest artists in the world were to hypothetically sign with the label and we give our takes on what we want to see what Snoop will do during this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show plus we give our picks as well. After that, from one Super Bowl Halftime performer to another, Eminem in his first year of being eligible, is leading the fan vote into this year's Rock & Roll Half of Fame Class of 2022. Along with first year nominees, A Tribe Called Quest, we give our hot takes on if both acts should go into this year's class. After that, Hot 97's DJ Drewski took to Instagram to tell people that he's no longer playing gang/diss tracks on the radio due to him getting tired of seeing people losing their lives to gun/gang violence in the streets. We debate on if it's the smart thing to do and if other DJs should do the same. All this and laughs, ranked recent hip hop love songs and more!!

On our Jackie Robinson/mid season finale episode, all the marauders are back to record and back to give their hot takes starting on Kayne West's jeen-yuhs Netflix documentary coming in February (16th) and Mr. West lashing out at directors Coodie & Chike and Netflix to let him in to have the final say and see on his upcoming documentary to (as of this recording) no avail. We ask if the upcoming four and a half hour documentary will be better with or without Kanye's hands on the film. Next up, social media keeps adding more gas to the fire that is Eminem finally getting a Verzuz battle in the potential future with some saying that the favorite to be his opponent would be Busta Rhymes. We ask if Busta is Em's best Verzuz opponent in the future or if someone else is lurking in the shadows waiting to beat Eminem. After that, lyrics has been used in courtrooms against musicians for decades when crimes are committed, Jay Z and Meek Mill want to change that narrative to present a bill in New York that prevents that from happening that has now being sent to the Senate floor. We discuss if music lyrics should or shouldn't be used against rappers/musicians in court. Later, Bow Wow voices his disappointment via Twitter by calling out fans after someone saying to name three of his songs if a person put a gun to their head. With him calling fans out, the fans have responded by clowning the rapper on social media. We voice our opinions on why people hate Bow Wow. All that plus, lots of laughs, J.

On our Dirk Nowitzki episode of the show, Nick and Jared hold the fort down and kick this episode off with Drake's red hot rumor of him "allegedly" placing hot sauce inside of a condom after having sex with an Instagram model earlier in the week (Around January 12) and now the unnamed model is suing him for the damage. We call cap or no cap on the story and give our takes (and questions) on the whole situation between the two. Next, with Kanye having an interesting two weeks with now new girlfriend model/actress Julia Fox (Uncut Gems), and being in photos with Floyd Mayweather, Madonna, Antonio "You can't fire me, because I quit!" Brown, and punching a fan, we finally decide if Kanye and Kim are done for good and wonder what comes next between the two if they're done. After that, Nas & Hit-Boy's Magic album debuts on the Billboard 200 at a dismal number 30, (as of this episode is has moved up to 27) and we voice our concern on if King Disease's III which is allegedly coming out later this year if fans should be worried if the upcoming album will rank around the same position in the first week of sales. Later, The Weeknd came out with a new album DAWN FM which is projected to hit number 1 on the charts with most to all of the songs hitting number 1 on Spotify within 24 hours after its release.

Happy New Year to you and yours! Nick & Jared are back with another (late but) new episode for 2022 and they kick things off with Big Sean's interview on N.O.R.E.'s Drink Champs podcast/show to give his side of the story after Kanye West came through weeks before. Sean Don discusses how angry he was with Kanye West's appearance and said that he's owed $6 Million from Kanye. The marauders ask if Big Sean can have a successful career in 2022 without Kanye after being signed to his label for 5 years. Next up, Jay Z breaks the internet with comments saying that he's untouchable if he were able to compete in a future Verzuz battle with anyone. We give out names on who would and wouldn't be great opponents if the live battle were to ever happen with Hov. After that, Nas gives hip hop a Christmas Eve present by releasing a new album, Magic, with tag team producer Hit-Boy (for the third time) to good reviews from fans. With a picture popping up with both Nas and Hit-Boy in the studio with Shaq and Penny Hardaway jerseys on we ask if they are the best rapper/producer combo today. All that, plus laughs, a permanent deleted One Gotta Go and a lot more!

For our final episode of 2021, Nick and Jared hold it down and talk about Drake withdrawing his GRAMMY nominations for next month's show due to unknown reasons by him and his management team. We discuss if he didn't take his name off the ballots if he would have won or not and give our takes on why he made the decision. Next up, back on December 9th, Travis Scott finally broke his silence in an interview with Charlamange tha God on the entire Astroworld concert tragedy that happened last month (see Episode 37), to mixed reviews from fans and critics. We say if we believe his apology from the interview and say if the interview did more to fan the flames and if it threw more gas on the fire. Also, since it is our last episode of 2021, the marauders look back on moments that happened in the year that was from the Astroworld Tragedy, to Bones Thugs-N-Harmony and Three 6 Mafia coming to blows on stage, to the losses of DMX, Virgil Abloh, Biz Markie and many others, to Megan the Stallion and Master P graduating with degrees and Nick and Jared make BOLD predictions on what will happen in hip hop in 2022. All that plus, a hip hop album of the year One Gotta Go, shoutouts, album recommendations, laughs and more! Happy Holidays!!

Apologies for the delay! but we are here with another episode of the show and the marauders Nick and Jared are giving you a good show as with them starting the show off by paying their respects to hip hop fashion innovator Virgil Abloh who had died from cancer at the age of 41. The marauders discuss the celebs he worked with and the album covers he designed from Kanye West, Pusha T, 2 Chainz, Pop Smoke and many more and talk about our favorite album that was designed by him. Next up, GRAMMY season is approaching and we talk about 2022's best in rap categories and salute Jay Z for now becoming the most nominated person in GRAMMYs history with 83 nominations and surpassing the legendary Quincy Jones (80). We cast our votes on who we think should win at the 2022 GRAMMYs (January 31st, CBS). Later, the Three 6 Mafia & Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Verzuz battle (December 2) had people talking for all the wrong reasons when a fight broke out live on stage after the fourth round between the two groups. Luckily, it didn't last as both groups apologized for their actions and showed love to each other near the end of the telecast. We give our thoughts on the entire situation and ask if Verzuz battles should set rules and regulations in case something like that happens again. All that plus, albums recommendations, controversial albums to rank and a lot more!!

On this episode of the show, all three marauders are back to open the show about the sad news of frapper Young Dolph being shot and killed at a bakery in his hometown of Memphis, TN for a charity drive to give back to his hometown. The marauders pay their respects, give their favorite songs and give their takes on the entire situation that took place (November 17). We go from one tragedy to the next with Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival becoming one of the most deadliest music concerts in history with (as of this recording) 10 deaths due to crowd surging, a person injecting concertgoers with a needle, fans pleading Travis to stop the show and a lot more drama. With lawsuits mounting and refunds being handed out we discuss who is the blame of the deaths with some of our answers may surprising some of our listeners. Next up, we get into some entertainment as the marauders talk about Kanye West's Drink Champs part 2 video that made its round on YouTube. During the interview, West took shots at (now former?) collaborator Talib Kweli by saying that he don't f--- with his raps. We wonder if the interview will mean it'll be the last time the two will work with each other. After that, DaBaby & DaniLeigh bring their personal problems to Instagram Live late Sunday (November 14) and early Monday morning (November 15) with cops being called and later resulting in DaniLeigh being arrested for assault. The marauders talk about if they can work things out for their 3 month old daughter. All that, plus One Gotta Go, album recommendations and a lot more!

For this episode, Nick and Jared hold it down in Kyle's absence to discuss Kanye West's latest appearance on N.O.R.E.'s Drink Champs Podcast/Show and give their hot takes and thoughts about everything thing Kanye talked about from him saying that signing former labelmate Big Sean was the "worst thing he's ever done", being "half vaccinated", saying he prefers Kid Cudi over Travis Scott and even calling Big Sean and John Legend sellouts. We breakdown the conversation and talk about the takeaways during the segment. Next, the Will Smith/Jada Pinkett Smith saga continues as Jada continues to talk more and more about the open marriage life of her and Will to the point where 50 Cent has chimed in on a now deleted Instagram post telling Jada to stop putting their personal life out in the open. We debate on what Will should do (other than the obvious answer of divorce) or if he should do damage control on the whole situation with her. After that, Cardi B let loose on IG Live on the first, by saying that rappers were making "depressing" music and dying whereas she would like to hear turn up music and then would later go on to clarify (the next day) that she wanted a balance of technical skills and turn up music. The marauders say "depressing" hip hop music is a good thing for everyone to listen to. Later, The Game goes off on social media to talk about him not getting any respect from anyone from the past 18 years from ushering in the West Coast class of rappers (Kendrick Lamar, YG, Dom Kennedy, etc.) The marauders debate on if it's time to give him that respect after his hip hop contributions.

Find out what our thoughts are and who's the worst athlete to show off their rap skills. Next up, 50 Cent celebrates his second album The Massacre being apart of Insider's article of the 21 albums that have sold a million copies in its first week (source below). Despite his second album going platinum six times (as of this episode), earning a Grammy nomination back in 2006, The Massacre received mixed reviews from critics. We ask if The Massacre is one of 50 Cent's best or worst albums in his catalog. After that, we dive back into more Joe Budden drama with him throwing shade at his former cohosts Rory and Mal after both men signed a new podcast venture with SiriusXM starting November 2nd worth $10 million. The marauders discuss if Joe regrets kicking his former friends off the show, if The Joe Budden Podcast is in danger and if we would listen if former Everyday Struggle cohost DJ Akademiks were to join the show.

For this episode of the show, all three marauders are back to record and are talking about R. Kelly's recent conviction and being arrested and ask if we can listen to his music now with all the allegations that have come to light now that he faces 10 years to life in prison and ask if R. Kelly's career is over. Next up, as news broke out back on October 4, the NFL as announced that at Super Bowl LVI the halftime show will feature legendary producer/rapper Dr. Dre along with Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar at SoFi Stadium on February 13, 2022. (NBC) We give our expectations and what we wanna see on the show when all five take the stage in February. After that, BET's long running series Rap City came back as a one off return (October 6th) on the channel right before their annual Hip Hop Awards with notable changes with lack of music videos and more emphasis on interviews. The marauders ask each other if with the version that was aired would work on TV today after almost 13 years after being off air. Later, we ask if music videos are dead as am art form in 2021 due to lack of creativity and due to channels not airing them anymore with some surprising answers and look backs.

For our Scottie Pippen episode, both Nick and Jared hold it down and talk it about Nicki Minaj's headline making two weeks about her being hesitant about getting the vaccine for COVID-19, her cousin and him being impotent, her Twitter beef with MSNBC's Joy Ann Reid and her lashing out at BET for not having her song "Seeing Green" be nominated for a BET Hip Hop Award this year. We give our takes on if or if not the song should be nominated this year for the show and what Nicki can do in order to stay on top of the mountain in women's hip hop. Next up, we go on an award tour (Get it?), as we give our predictions on this year's BET Hip Hop Awards (airing October 5th) and we also debate on this year's VMAs that aired on the 12th and ask if it's too late for MTV to save the award show due to rating hitting all time lows. After that, we give our review on the Fat Joe/Ja Rule Verzuz and declare a winner and wonder if 50 Cent could hang with both Fat Joe and Ja Rule or anyone since he distanced himself from his collaborators and his old group G-Unit. Later, we give our thoughts and opinions on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time List with the surprises and shock songs that made it and where the songs rank after we reviewed their 500 Greatest Albums List (Episode 7).

For this episode of the podcast, Nick and Kyle talk about two highly anticipated albums that dropped since our last episode: Kayne West's Donda and Drake's Certified Lover Boy. The marauders give our report card ratings on both albums and discuss what they loved and hated about both albums and also wonder if both men will put the bad blood behind them after Drake came for Kanye on his track "7am On Bridle Path". Next, after the unexpected death of actor Michael K. Williams (Omar from HBO's The Wire, Albert White from HBO's Boardwalk Empire) many took to social media to give their thoughts and condolences to the actor including 50 Cent who decided to take an alternative route and plug his show Raising Kanan while drew criticism from fans online. We discuss if 50's online post about the late actor was in bad taste or not. After that, RocNation member Memphis Bleek talks a potential Verzuz battle between his good friend Jay Z and his on again/off again frenemy Nas and tells everyone that Nas can't beat Jay Z in a 20 Round Verzuz matchup. We ask and talk about if Nas has enough songs in his arsenal to beat Jay Z after now doing the shows in front of crowds and if his catalog can hold up plus we give our early predictions on the upcoming Fat Joe vs. Ja Rule Verzuz on September 14th in New York.

For this episode of the show, we talk about Kendrick Lamar's recent announcement that he was leaving his long time label Top Dawg Entertainment after his next full length album. The marauders ask what is Kendrick's next move after he drops his album and then wonder if the label will still be strong without Kendrick? Next up, we speak on a potential TDE vs. Dreamville Verzuz battle after Dreamville label rapper Bas appearing on a Power 106 radio interview in LA and speaking about who the label should face if a Verzuz battle were able to happen. After that, with Lil Nas X having the best year of his career, he had a lot to say about skateboarding god Tony Hawk using his own blood to be mixed in with paint to sell future skateboards after calling him out due to Lil Nas X using the same tactic to sell shoes a few months ago (See Episode 21). We ask if Lil Nas X is right to call out Tony Hawk for using that same ploy and if people should be outraged on Tony Hawk using blood for skateboards. Later on, we had news on Drake reportedly dropping Certified Lover Boy on September 3 due to "feed interference" during Friday morning's (August 27) episode of ESPN's Sportscenter. With his last album Scorpion getting subpar reviews from fans and critics alike, we ask if Drake's next album is do or die especially considering since he is one of the best in the game today and is one of the highest selling rappers today. All that plus, we rank diss tracks, we give shoutouts and a whole lot more!
