Today is a good day. Demaris dropped an egg, and J. Cole dropped new bars (11:33 ). Freddie Gibbs also dropped a not-so-cryptic message about Cole’s latest song, and we discuss what a battle between the two would look like (27:52 ). Rolling Stone is playing with our emotions, making a list of Worst Songs On Classic Albums, but we love a list so of course we had to add to it (44:40 ). We get into new music and new freestyles (1:03:03 ), then give our opinion on the backlash Reason received for his Bootleg Kev interview and what loyalty platforms owe to artists (1:13:03 ). We try to stop Demaris from getting murdered by a fan for Cowboy Carter tickets (1:24:00 ), and then plan out her funeral, just in case. Mal is appalled at the Steve Smith adultery controversy, and we do a text breakdown of the evidence (1:34:56 ). There was a voicemail that led to a conversation that would’ve ended up getting us demonetized.. So we had to cut it out of audio and YT. Subscribe to our patreon for the uncut version. #volume
