Episode 234 | Mos Def Made Drake Pop

It’s a two hour Tuesday. We’re back with a long episode to help you get through the early days of the week (0:00) . Immediately Rory and Mal discuss the rats they once knew and share some common ground (6:00). Then we get into the ‘Book of Clarence’ low ticket sales and how underwhelming the Jay Z & D’Angelo song turned out (09:25). We get into the most pressing topic on the timeline, Mos Def v.s. Drake (29:12) . We break down the viral video and discuss the historical context of their relationship. Somehow this leads to the room challenging Julian’s love for a fat a**. Naturally, this flows into a conversation about weight and we share our numbers (47:05). We return to music with the 11 year old artist Fng King and his recent club appearances with Drake & Lil Baby (52:30). Should children be in those environments? This leads to Mal sharing two stories from the early 2000s (hint: Bow Wow & Jay Z) (1:03:09) . Then we react to Dame Dash’s response to Fat Joe (1:21:37). It’s time for voicemails. (1:33:20) Today we give parenting advice. This leads to Rory thinking about Amara’s choices in the future (1:51:37). Rory also brought up an old photo of Mal’s mom which leads to a wild finish (2:02:14)
