We read the most insanely absurd lyrics off the new Eminem album Revival. This is the last time we ever talk about Eminem for an episode. I promise.

In this episode we rank and review Saturation 1, 2 & 3 by Brockhampton. This is going to be an ongoing series where we either rank an artist's discography or review a new album. If you have already listened to these albums, great! If you haven't, check them out on whatever streaming platform you use. Matt's audio is a little bit echo-y but give us a break because we are still new at this stuff. Oh and I stole the episode artwork from Reddit. Love you. Bye.

THE FIRST AND PROBABLY LAST ANNUAL TRILLY AWARDS. It's like the NBA year end awards but with hip-hop, duh. Featuring our very funny and talented friend Joe aka @JuliusIrvington. Joe is a stand up comedian, tweeter and great electronic DJ. You can find his links below. We did have some technical difficulties so bare with us.

We talk about the pop-heavy feature list on Eminem's new album "Revival" for as long as we can stomach. Then we dive into everything Grammy's including nominations, snubs, and finally we make our predictions on which hip-hop artists will take home awards in February 2018..... As always, Free Meek Mill.

For the first 10 - 15 minutes we bullshit about Post Malone saying something stupid about hip-hop again. Then the last 30 minutes we dive into the glorification of drugs in hip-hop. Matt talks about his experience with addiction and how it relates to artists in general. We finish the episode by both give our opinions on modern rappers who talk about drug use in their music. RIP LIL PEEP. RIP ASAP YAMS. RIP PIMP C.

First things first, RIP Lil Peep. Since we recorded this episode before he passed away next week we will talk more about Peep, his legacy and the prescription drug epidemic's influence over hip-hop. Then we talk about Meek Mill's recent legal troubles and how his story is part of a much larger problem within our legal system. Since this is supposed to be a comedy podcast we end the episode a much lighter note when we pick our five worst hip hop songs of all time.

In the dumbest episode yet Twitter superstar @Ironghazi is the guest for a few minutes. Something stupid happens then more stupid things happen. Porter says pronounces the word disingenuous wrong three times. Matt cries over the Sixers. We hate ourselves. We also talk about rappers who make bad songs about important topics like Macklemore and Logic. Then we talk about collab albums that have actually been made and a few that will probably never be made like Kendrick and J. Cole. General guide: 0:00 - 2:45 - Ironghazi discusses The Mackle Level 3:00 - 4:30 - Matt Cries Over The Sixers 4:30 - 22:00 - Macklemore & Logic talk 23:00 - 25:00 - Artists who make good songs with strong social messages 25:00 - 40:00 - Collab albums 40:00 - End - More bullshit

We talk about our favorite old curmudgeon in hip hop Joe Budden. This time he is angry about Chance The Rapper's performance on The Late Show with Steven Colbert. We discuss their beef, Budden's reaction (which we partially agree with) and whether Chance is over or underrated. We close the show by talking about the god Kendrick Lamar and then we try to pick our favorite Kendrick verse(s).

During our triumphant return we discuss Eminem's four minute long acapella Donald Trump diss at The BET Awards. We also talk about the reactions to this diss from both Trump fans and liberals. Lastly, we read the dumbest comment in the history of the internet. Seriously.

Yeezus Christ Superstar - Episode 3 by Trilluminati

This week controversial rapper XXXTentacion calls into the podcast to discuss his new album "17" and he has a neat message for his fans. We drank a lot of coffee before this episode and both of us have ADHD so there a ton of topics we cover including: the new wave of SoundCloud rappers, bitter old hip-hop fans, the Kanye West and Taylor Swift hip-hop beef of the decade. We also introduce our first edition of a new series called reading old music forums. This week we read posts from the month that Kanye West dropped his classic debut album The College Dropout in 2004. Lastly, our friend Quavo from Migos laces us with a new track that features him doing ad-libs over the Star Spangled Banner.

In the first episode we discuss Drake falling out of the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time since 2009, the one year anniversary of Frank Ocean's masterpiece Blonde, and our favorite hip-hop albums of 2017 so far. We close out the show by laughing at conservative rapper Baked Alaska's song & video called We Love Our Cops. That's also where we got the artwork for this episode. You can laugh at the ridiculous video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiHftejWSvU
