The crew kicks things off with Alex recounting his car break-in and reflecting on wanting to move out of the hood before introducing special guest Art, producer at The Breakfast Club and host of The New Era (2:18). Art shares how SaVon and Alex inspired him during college (4:31) before the team answers a Patreon listener question on the afterlife and aliens, debating faith, fear of death, UFOs, and who in pop culture might secretly be an alien (08:47). From there, they unpack Charlamagne’s viral claim that GloRilla’s catalog could match Nicki Minaj’s, leading into a defense of Nicki’s hits, her Roc Nation disputes, and the balance between antics and artistry (26:50). The conversation expands to Drake, Meek Mill, and the role of labels vs. legacy in shaping careers (43:50), shifts to the new Ice Spice & Latto single and video and what it signals for women in hip hop (59:51), then dives into Drake’s livestream antics and trolling style (1:24:00) before closing with Young Thug’s leaked jail calls, including controversial remarks about Future, Kendrick Lamar, and Andre 3000, and how they impact his legacy post-YSL (1:44:02). For an extended Young Thug conversation, head over to Patreon on Tuesday.
