This week we break down the life and career of the don Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. (aka Lil Wayne), hot off the heels of his Billboard cover story. It's been almost 7 years since we've heard a full Weezy project and we ask the question......is this the comeback that we have been waiting for?

Plus, new music by Childish Gambino, Charlotte Day Wilson, Blood Orange and Yves Tumor. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It seemed like Doja Cat had everything going for her. The R&B artist became a national sensation within the span of hours. However, after some homophobic tweets surfaced from 2015 your girl tries to defend herself with more homophobic language. Sigh.....this is not surprising however, as homophobia and hip-hop go together like America and Apple Pie. Plus new music from Pink Siifu, Nothing, and...

This week, we continue our discussion on Nicki Minaj and her trollish behavior. Is there a way out of this mess for the Queen?

With Boots Riley’s Sorry to Bother You debuting and Chance’s purchase of Chicagoist we wonder...are artists simply exploring their creative outlets, or are they forced to pursue careers outside of music? Also, as Chance is someone who once got MTV to pull down a bad concert review (like a punk), is he the right person to step into journalism? Also, new music from The Internet, Lotic, and Buddy. Ho...

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's true. Good Music has determined what we will be talking about on this podcast for the next 4 weeks. Y'all act like y'all don't want to hear about what Kanye's up to......but you do. Anyway, we have a late pass on Kanye's album, a review of the Cudi/Kanye fronted Kids See Ghosts, and some pondering on the "end" of the Drake/Pusha beef.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

DISCLAIMER: Like last week's disclaimer, we recorded this prior to Kanye's.....er....enlightened views on slavery. So even though we tried to rush this podcast out, we're still late! This week.....We talk about Kanye's bizarre antics (i.e. Scoopa di Poopa), and it's effect not only on hip-hop, but on Good Music itself. Has Kanye basically ethered the careers of Pusha T and Cudi? Where do we go fro...

DISCLAIMER: We recorded this two days before the Kanye/Trump bro-fest, so our thoughts about his Republicanness are largely contained to his previous tweets. But we predicted this y'all. This week.....Kanye is back, but is that a good thing? We look at Good Music's big summer releases as they go head to head with Drake's Scorpion project releasing the same month. Also, we dive deep into J'Col...

With recorded music making up less of an artist's revenue stream, live music is mattering more than ever. However, live music venues (especially DIY ones) are closing across the country.
