Lil Pump, Offset (of Migos) and Gunna album reviews Mar 01, 2019

Show notes

Hey folks! Our Twitter friend and self proclaimed Migos stan Erik aka @Milksteakk joined us to discuss new albums from Lil Pump, Offset and Gunna. We invited on Erik to provide a different perspective since we both find Migos' solo albums to be predictable and Gunna to be boring in general. There are plenty of sidebars including one where Jayson states his disdain for his mortal enemy Travis Scott. Enjoy!

Hey folks, we didn’t want to have to get political again but unfortunately this is the world we live in. In case you live under a rock, Rappers 21 Savage and Young Nudy were arrested by ICE agents in Atlant on Super Bowl Sunday. We discussed the latest updates on their arrests, our reactions to the news and why ICE is an immoral organization that should not exist. The second half of the episode we discussed some under the radar music from January including albums by Sada Baby, Boogie and YNW Melly.

J. Cole, Stan Culture, The State of Hip-Hop Journalism & #MWE Jan 31, 2019

Show notes

Hey folks! We were lucky enough to have one of our favorite hip-hop writers Gary Suarez aka @noyokono. We discussed J. Cole's new single Middle Child, "Stan Culture" online and the erosion of music journalism in the age of click-bait.

Gary talked a little bit about his annual Music Writer Exercise, which we invite you all to try. All you have to do is listen to one album that you have never heard before every day in February, then you write one tweet about the album. Make sure to include the hashtag #MWE.

At the end of the episode we played a quick "pick em" rapper game based on a few of Jayson's Twitter recent polls.
