This week, we start with Cardi B’s NPR Tiny Desk performance. Does every artist and genre deserve a Tiny Desk, or should those invitations be reserved for artists who bring something special to the stage? Then we react to Gucci Mane’s new project, Against All Odds. When an artist’s later music doesn’t match their best work, does it change how you see their legacy?

From there, we get into 50 Cent and Courtney Kemp’s Power fallout. Is 50 asking for credit he deserves, or turning a business dispute personal? And when he brings allegations about Kemp into the conversation, does it make his side harder to take seriously?

Next up, it’s Carl Thomas versus Case in a Verzuz. Who has the stronger catalog, and can the better singer still lose to the bigger records?

Then we look back at 2008 and five albums: Tha Carter III, The Recession, 808s & Heartbreak, Trilla, and T.O.S. Which one was the best? Which aged the best? And was Trilla better than The Recession?

We also get into Animals. Did the movie keep you hooked, and who carried it: Ben Affleck, Kerry Washington, or the supporting cast?

Finally, we talk college football and boxing business. Does Miami surviving FSU prove they know how to win tough games, or give people more reasons to doubt them? And with Shakur Stevenson reportedly leaving Zuffa Boxing after fights failed to happen, who comes out looking worse him or Dana White?

The guys are back and this week we’re starting off with Black stand-up comedy under fire — Jamie Foxx sparks conversation with his latest performance, while Mojo Brookzz faces criticism over his Netflix debut. Is Black stand-up losing its touch, or are we judging a new generation too harshly? And are Instagram comedians getting stand-up specials too easily, or can viral stars really carry a full 45-minute set?

Next up, we get into Pharrell and Quavo’s Qromelife. With Pharrell producing all 14 tracks, are fans hearing a legendary producer losing his touch, or did Quavo fail to bring enough personality to the project? Has Pharrell been living off his legacy, or are we holding him to an impossible standard?

From there, we take it back to 2011 — the golden era of mixtapes. Lil Wayne’s Sorry 4 the Wait, Meek Mill’s Dreamchasers, Future’s Dirty Sprite, Mac Miller’s Best Day Ever, and Nipsey Hussle’s The Marathon Continues are all in the conversation. Which mixtape really had it? What’s overrated, what’s underrated, and does your ranking change when you revisit these projects today?

Then we hit the sports world with college football chaos, NFL drama, and boxing’s next big fights. Florida’s college football programs are battling for bragging rights, Haney vs. Shakur could be headed to Atlanta, and Jermall Charlo has another opportunity to prove himself. Who has the most to prove, and who comes out on top?

This week, T.O and J Cuzz kick things off with LA nostalgia. Which movies really captured the culture, which were overrated, and which deserved more love? From fashion to jewelry, we debate which region gave us the most style. We also review a new Netflix movie, The Breadwinner, and discuss the parenting chaos when Mom’s career takes off and Dad has to hold down the house.

From there, we get into Dr. Melissa saying she feels like she gave up her beauty after becoming a mother. People are bringing up her past comments that Marc Lamont Hill isn’t her type, but does that mean his opinion shouldn’t matter to her? Is Marc out of his league, or is the internet reaching? We also talk Jasmine Guy and the pressure on Black women to never age. Can a woman miss feeling beautiful without people assuming she misses attention from other men?

Next up, Da’Vinchi’s comments about Americans being lazy and incompetent turn into a bigger conversation about the Black diaspora. Is he making a point about work ethic or talking down on people raised differently? Where does Caribbean and African pride cross into superiority, and can you criticize the same culture your career benefits from?

Finally, we break down Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua. After years of waiting, who are we picking, and does this fight still carry the same weight? We also debate the next matchup boxing needs and whether protecting undefeated records is costing fans the fights they actually want.
