Join us as we unpack these topics and more, offering insightful commentary on the ever-evolving hip-hop landscape.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the week’s wildest hip hop headlines—starting with Complex’s controversial “Best Rappers from LA” list. How does a list like that drop without 2Pac? We unpack the drama and The Game’s response.

• Next up, Joe Budden is teasing a return to the mic. Is the podcast king ready to reclaim his spot in rap? And more importantly, does the culture even care?

• Then we head to Virginia as The Clipse reunite—sort of. With No Malice going back to just Malice and leaving Def Jam, are we on the verge of a gritty, old-school Clipse comeback? Or is this just another tease?

• Tap in—we’ve got bars, opinions, and all the smoke.
