Episode 449 | High School Prom Jan 30, 2026

Show notes

It hasn’t been more than a couple hours and Mal is already the main character on Twitter. Does he care though? 50 Cent weighed in on Banks vs Fab, but what does he really think? Demaris was having flashbacks to her High School Prom so we get real nostalgic and remember what our High School graduation songs were. Mass Appeal continues to show why they’re the best label out right now with a new idea for hip-hop heads to enjoy the culture. Plus, Baby D refuses to take Rory to a Summer Walker concert, and a listener calls us out on our New York bias #volume

We’ve been had the debate if Jim Jones made Kid Cudi, but it went viral on the internet after Cudi had a few words for Jim Jones. Do we need to be humbled as New Yorkers, though? Plus, who we got in a Mike Will Made It vs Hit-Boy Verzuz, Rory was feelin’ Ari Lennox’s new album, and Chad Hugo suing Pharell leads to Rory educating us on royalty splits. #volume
