It's back to the future as we discuss the latest in rap and wrestling while reminiscing on the best of both worlds. We review Eminem's latest album "The Death of Slim Shady," and critique the worst albums from our favorite artists. John Cena announced he is retiring, so we share our first memories from when we started watching him wrestle. Finally, we run through Apple's list of the 100 Greatest Albums of All Time.

2024 seems to be The Year of Hate. We cover the entire timeline of the HipHop beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Myself, Immortal Storm, and my friend Nick share our thoughts on every diss song between the two artists as they released. We discuss what impressed us, how invested we were, and break down everything track by track. The conversation eventually transitions to a dialogue with my friends Meelz & J5 examining the growing popularity of pro-wrestling.
