A biweekly hip hop/comedy debate podcast where three longtime high school friends give their thoughts, opinions, ideas and comedy burns on what's going on in hip hop culture today.
Back again with another new episode! Nick takes control of the show and kicks things off with Post Malone wanting to come back to rap. With ticket sales not moving as much, Post wants to return to his rap roots by releasing a new double album later this year. However, Nick feels differently about his return. See why, or if rap fans will accept Post back after his successful time in country, and Nick also dives into how some artists can pivot into different genres and still be respected when coming back into rap. Next, we take a trip to the West Coast with Complex Magazine as they list their 100 Greatest LA Rap Songs of All Time. Nick goes into the final 15 picks of the countdown and wonders, agrees, and disagrees with the picks the magazine made on how they ranked the songs. Later, The Game is back in the spotlight with his latest Verzuz battle with YG, comments on Kendrick & Drake, and him dropping The Documentary III. We break down the best and worst tracks, his comments and why The Game shouldn't be acting the way he is now. All that plus, Tyga's horrible, terrible, no good, very bad album rated from Pitchfork, shoutouts, an album recommendation and more!!!

#87: Hov Stock '26
Season six is underway with an all-new episode after our long layoff. Nick holds things down to give his thoughts on Jay Z's three-night residency at Yankee Stadium. He'll break down what happened on all three nights, the controversy surrounding night three, and ask why some people should and shouldn't have been a part of the festivities that weekend. After that, it seems as though the sorta, kind of but not really lyrical feud between Lupe Fiasco and Kendrick Lamar has reared its head and has people on social media talking and debating on who is lyrically gifted. Nick provides his solution on who is the better lyrical MC and proposes a way to settle the score between the two. After that, what do Drake's Iceman, J .Cole's podcast run and album rollout, the BET Awards and The Roots Picnic have in common? Well, they were all events that took place while we were gone. Nick gives quick takes on all that took place. All that plus Nick's five favorite hip hop albums of 2026 so far, album recommendations and more!

#86: The No Substance Mixtape
Episode 86 is up and running with a brand new show for 2026. Nick is hosting and holding the fort down, as he has a lot to discuss since the last episode. We start things off with one of the most anticipated albums of the last five years, with J. Cole's The Fall Off. Nick gives his honest thoughts about the two disc album and applauds it for the songs, samples, and interpolations, but boos it for three small details. Find out what quick report card grade he gives it. After that, Bad Bunny takes over the Super Bowl stage at Levi's Stadium and brings the culture with him during the 20 minute outing. From stars appearing to him bring Latin American countries together, Nick wants to know what the fuss was about during, after, and post his performance. Next, a person who hasn't been talked about on the show, Kanye West, issues an apology for his Jewish rants that he said years ago. West wants people to forgive him for his misgivings but listen to see if Nick is easy to forgive. Later, Bay Area rapper LaRussell recently sat down in an interview and told the hosts that as much as he respects Lil Wayne, the older he got, the more he realized that Wayne's music has no substance behind his music. Nick gives his thoughts on the Bay Area rapper's comments and find out if he agrees or disagrees with what he said. All that, plus shoutouts, album recommendations, and more!!
