Ant and Tee were absolutely compelled to discuss the Kendrick vs. Drake tête-à-tête so we gave Box the night off so we could break it down from the beginning to where it sits currently.

This go round, we discuss song length. They whys of it over the years and of course, with some help from our friends, NicJu of What’s The Tea and Krème Patisserie: A Great British Bake-Off Podcast along with returning guest, Delvin Cox of the Delvin Cox Multiverse of Podcasts, share some of the greatest songs that are three minutes or less (or really darn close).
