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 also reacted to our unsurprising loss at the 2024 Boston Music Awards, looked back at our favorite BFTC moments of 2024, and shared our individual and podcast goals for 2025. In the second half of the episode is where things really started cooking! We spoke on the seemingly downward trajectory society has been heading in and questioned what year did things generally start going to sh-t (with politics, music, race relations, corporate monopolies, AI, etc.). We even entertained the conversation around young white men feeling "oppressed" in modern society (haha). It definitely made for a thought-provoking conversation that's fitting for such a strange year in history. Goodbye 2024 and hello 2025!

The boogeyman is back! This past Friday afternoon, Kendrick Lamar surprised us all with his sixth studio album "GNX". After his decisive victory in the beef against Drake and the announcement of his upcoming Super Bowl Halftime appearance, it was only right that Kenny dropped a full length project to capitalize on his massive momentum. We gave our breakdown and thoughts on the album, reacted to the the early reception, and discussed whether we think this is THE album or simply a taste of what's to come.We also spoke on Cole's "The Fall Off" rollout being hijacked be the release of "GNX" and how we think Cole should move forward. We also recapped the first four episodes of the new season of Netflix's "Rhythm and Flow", a rap competition show.

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).

With the presidential election coming up, we reacted to the presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, shared our thoughts on the polarizing presidential race, the hopelessness young voters feel, and the current flaws of our political system. Before jumping into politics, we kicked off with some light-hearted topics, including Bronny James getting drafted to the Lakers and why nepotism might not be so bad after all.

2021 was a great year for us as it was the 1st time we won “Best Music Podcast” at the #BostonMusicAwards and seemingly opened up our audience to new supporters within our growing scene. That was also the year that birthed another #Boston music podcast that is gaining heavy traction, “Bad For The Community”! This group of young Black men consist of 4 very different creatives from Boston & Brockton; The 508 God (FKA Young Rob), Nate Nics, Tomo, & Snt Yves— who got together to form a music podcast tackling an assortment of topics ranging from their personal art to social issues. We've seen the work they've done for the past 2 years and after appearing on their podcast in late 2022, the time has come for us to collaborate again for a long overdue & transparent conversation. #CharlieMaSheen has once mentioned that BFTC is the top music podcast in the city for creatives under 30 years old while we cater mostly to the 30+ crowd and this exchange of words couldn't have displayed this any more accurately. While we share many similarities we have very different views on the world and society as a whole. The one thing we do stand on time and time again is GOOD MUSIC; whatever our perceptions of that may be. Join Charlie MaSheen & #KASH as we host Bad For The Community at The Garage Media Center over a talk about their origin, their different types of art, the music scene in Boston (& surrounding areas), confronting Charlie about his stance on the #transgender community, & SO MUCH MORE‼️ We shared a lot of laughs and we also seemed  agreed to disagree on a number of things but this podcast is not one to skip over AT ALL‼️ We also wrapped up w/ 4

We later spoke on the younger generation and whether we should be concerned about them because of the "content" that's being put out nowadays (36:00).In the second half of the episode, the guys dive into a deeper discussion about the education systems in their hometowns and debate how much of an "active choice" marginalized people have in their lives (50:30). Before wrapping up, we quickly discussed the recent stories on Jamie Foxx's "anti-Semetic" post, Ne-Yo's comments on the trans community, and the Montgomery riverfront brawl (1:36:00).
