Episode 227: Pre-Memorial Day Weekend Randomness (Side A) May 25, 2016

Show notes

Armond & Doc return to talk about everything from the Bad Boy Family concert they're attending in August to Kanye demos that Chance somehow (?) played on Apple Music to an update on the NBA Playoffs. Oh yeah - and they both listened to Lil Yachty's album, and they both try to process their feelings about the album. Seriously. Well, sort of seriously.

Episode 226 Side B: Religion & Hip-Hop (Part 2) May 18, 2016

Show notes

Armond & Doc continue on this week by using the discussion around Chance's mixtape to revisit the conversation about religion (namely Christianity) & hip-hop.

What does it mean to be a 'Christian' hip-hop artist? Is Gospel music the same as Christian music? Does it matter that mainstream music magazines & blogs use the two interchangeably? Who gets to decide who is a Christian artist and who isn't? Does it even matter if people are labeled that way or not?

Episode 224: Drake's 'Views' (Side B) May 04, 2016

Show notes

Armond & Doc continue their discussion of Drake's highly anticipated album 'Views' and try to figure out if Drake lived up to the expectations. Where does this fit in his catalog? Did the ghostwriting allegations change his creative process? Does the 'winter -> summer -> winter' concept work?

Show notes

Armond & Doc continue on this week by going in-depth on Beyoncé's 'LEMONADE' album as only Clock Radio Speakers can. We go track-by-track to break down how the album sounds, what the album means, and everything in between.

Is the album good? Great? Something else? How has being available on Tidal affected her fans ability to listen? How did the HBO special impact how the album sounds? Is the story of this album true, false, or somewhere in the middle? All that and more are discussed and (hopefully) answered.
