SaVon and Alex kick things off with jokes and a reminder about the headphone giveaway before tackling a Patreon listener question on the greatest true freestyle artists (2:09). They finally give Joey Bada$$ his flowers, unpacking his 20-v-1 diss-track run, the label delays at Columbia, and the underwhelming 9K first-week numbers for 'Lonely at the Top' while debating whether his single “Dark Aura” had enough punch (13:00). A rapid-fire new-music segment covers Justin Bieber’s surprise 'SAWG II,' Ed Sheeran’s soulful 'Play,' and Atlanta’s rock newcomers The Paradox, sparking laughs as they imitate the raspy rock vocals and talk about Black artists reclaiming rock’s roots (28:30). They then call out DJ Khaled for his polished but empty PR answers in his sit down with Fat Joe and Jadakiss (43:00). Wrapping up, they dive into Young Thug’s heartfelt Instagram apologies and his seven-minute tribute track “Man I Miss My Dogs,” dissecting his Big Bank interview about loyalty, the rift with Gunna, and the difference between being a provider and a true leader—before closing with reactions to Cardi B’s rollout strategy and the big expectations for her next body of work (1:05:20).
