Kicking things off with the Clip of the Week (5:51). Then we get into Dill’s question of the week, and have the conversation about being the side piece (7:09). We discuss a certain style of hip hop that involves a lot of beat switches and transitions that doesn’t seem to exist anymore (14:29). That conversation parlays perfectly with a tweet from TDE’s REASON that asks whether people still care for full albums (15:52). Serge Ibaka is making a claim for best musician in the NBA and has some stats to prove it (20:51). We talk about what albums we’ve revisited over the past couple of weeks (25:48). There’s unsurprising outrage with the new Little Mermaid trailer (30:04). We got an existentialist question to end the show (31:52).

Kicking things off with the Song of the Week from 88GLAM (8:19). Dill’s question of the week asks what would you do (11:32). New Music feels like there’s not much to discuss - we get into Ari Lennox’s ‘age/sex/location’, and NAV’s ‘Demons Protected By Angels’  (14:48). Should we stop comparing streaming to sales in music (23:33)? We discuss platforms that build off of violence in the Black community as the Joe Budden Podcast directs a clear message toward Adam22; the discussion gets a bit more heated than anticipated (28:38).

Story time with Dill leads to the naming of this episode (5:03). Dill’s story is the perfect segue into his question of the week - could you ever date a woman who has had a hoe phase? (8:09). Song of the Week courtesy of Roney (14:47). We discuss FN Meka and how it represents everything wrong with Hip Hop (17:36). New Music! We go in-depth on the new DJ Khaled Album, ‘GOD DID’, as well as JID’s ‘The Forever Story’ (31:54). Zellers is making a comeback (49:55). A rundown of event mishaps in Toronto in August leads us to asking if the infrastructure can handle the population (52:07).

This week’s Song of The Week involves Tim Hortons (3:59). Dill makes the claim that Bad Bunny is the biggest artist in the world (8:27). Getting into some new music that has come out over the past few weeks sparks a few questions about DJ Khaled’s ability to produce hits, the music industry not being taken seriously, how long Hip Hop should be forecasted to remain as the dominant genre in music. Calvin Harris’ “Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2” also gets an in depth review (10:54). Harris tries to introduce an honest conversation about Bobby Shmurda after his latest album release (29:51). Dill asks who is the next women's megastar after Beyonce, as well as the next women’s face of R&B (34:26). Further detail is released regarding the Desus & Mero split, but Shola isn’t buying it at all (44:50).

We recap what we’ve been up to after a one week hiatus (8:14). Dill gives us his song of the week to get us going (19:41). We had to have a WTF Clip of the Week segment this week after hearing what we heard (23:34). Then we go into a deep dive question about the City of Toronto in the month of August; is Toronto a top 3 pound for pound city in the WORLD? Within that discussion comes talk about what events are happening and what we like and don’t like about them; from Caribana, to Veld Music Festival, to OVO fest, just to name a few. Also within that discussion, we have a heated debate about the hype of the Weeknd versus the hype of Drake (26:23).

Dill plays his song of the week (3:41). We discuss whether dvsn hit or miss with their highly anticipated single 'If I Get Caught' (6:34). Predicting the sound and first week sales numbers for Beyonce's upcoming album 'Renaissance' (14:37). Kid Cudi walks off the Rolling Loud stage as we discuss crowd etiquette (22:09). Fans are paying $1000 for a meet and greet with Chris Brown; what's the most you'd pay (25:35)? Is Joey Bada$$ justified in his claims that he’s a top 3 rapper of this generation (34:32)? Finally, Desus and Mero go their separate ways; is this inevitable in the show/podcast/partnership world (44:44)?

PRE POTPOURRI: Dill is on his latest side quest; an oxtail adventure to see who has the best to offer in the GTA (11:36). We discuss the power of Rogers and how many things were impacted by their day-long internet/cellular outage (17:24).  

MUSIC POTPOURRI: We’re discussing the value of the ‘Drake Stimulus Package’, in comparison to ‘breaking an artist’ (22:38). It’s time we take a stand as consumers as OVO Fest is charging $750 for nosebleed seats (29:42). Why is music not sticking the way it used to (33:19)? That question ties in perfectly with our next question; has modern hip hop lost its memorability or are we just getting old (38:23)? We’re wondering why Roddy Ricch has seemingly fallen off a cliff in terms of the ascent we all thought he was on (46:09). Who right now is the face/upcoming face of Hip Hop (53:21)? New music coverage for the week (56:21).  

POST POTPOURRI: Basketball-related topics to end off the show (1:02:37).

We’re joined by friend of the show, B1GJuice, but this is not an interview. We discuss Toronto music; from the level of substance to a diss record that is a direct shot. We then shift the conversation to being about B1GJuice (38:33) - from life in Atlanta & South Carolina playing football, to getting into music from the world of poetry and football, to how doing music is a source of therapy, and so much more. We introduce the ‘What Do You Mean?’ segment (59:27), where we ask B1GJuice to elaborate on the meaning behind some of his profound tweets. Finally, some rapid fire topics to end off the show (1:19:03) - Chris Brown vs Usher in a Verzuz, and Drake album commentary.

Dill makes the claim that Toronto could be THE next music hub (20:48). We discuss Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’ indepth (35:15).
