Ep 87 | Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Griselda News, Drake vs Sauce Walka

Three headlines and a Top 5. (1) Neil deGrasse Tyson on Shannon Sharpe — the Pluto bit, the brilliance, the Bronx. (2) Griselda news: Conway hopped on the same Drake "Free" beat we called out last week ("Conway heard us"). On the freestyle he addressed Cassandra, the Griselda-split rumor, and the Jay-Z meeting where Hov told Westside to give Conway and Benny 10%. (3) Drake vs Sauce Walka — the Breakfast Club Houston bar from years ago,Drake hooking up with Sauce's baby mama, and Adam 22 confirming "Make Them Cry" is about Sauce.

Plus Cassie's "moving out the country" Diddy claims, Jadakiss vs Beanie Sigel, and our Top 5 Music Videos — KRS-One, Slick Rick, DMX, Kendrick, Eminem, Biggie, Public Enemy and more. Spread the word.

BBC Ep 86 | Jay Z responds to Everybody and Special Interview with Kase Klosed

Special guest episode. We sit down with Buffalo MC Kase Klosed for the first half — her "I'm Only Human" EP, the follow-up "Lean Back," how her grandmother named her, and what she thinks makes a great artist. Then we get into Jay-Z's Roots Picnic freestyle in Philly: the State Property reunion (Memphis Bleek, Beanie Sigel, Freeway), the bars at Drake("you looking at the wrong charts"), the bars at Dame Dash ("chatty Patty"), the "10 rappers away" Reasonable Doubt callback, and the moment of hip-hop history that we didn't see coming.

Plus: Complex Top 50 MCs ranking, and our own Top 5 NY MCs debate

RIP Rob Base, Biggie's Grandbaby & Claressa Slaps Back | BBC Ep 85The Notorious B.I.G. is a grandfather. Biggie's daughter Tiana had a baby — and because Biggie set up a trust fund in the mid-90s, his grandbaby was born a trust fund baby. Almost 30 years after he was murdered. Most rappers still haven't figured out what Big had figured out at 24.

On Episode 85 we open with that, then run the week: DJ Akademiks getting ICE checks (allegedly), the Iceman review roundup (Rick Ross, Jemele Hill, Grits & Eggs), Cardi vs Nicki on the Motorsport verse that got rewritten, the comedians who got conscious (Pryor, Gregory, Rudy Ray Moore), Claressa Shields slapping Alicia Baumgartner, Jake Paul's real impact on women's boxing, Max B vs Big Daddy Kane (Kane freestyled back FROM RUSSIA), and RIP to Rob Base. Plus each host's Top 5 Summer Hip-Hop Anthems — Will Smith banned. Spread the word.

Boom Bap Chronicles Episode 84

Drake dropped three albums in one night. We listened. We had thoughts. None of them were "this is fire."

On Episode 84 of Boom Bap Chronicles, we get into why Iceman feels like more of the same Drake — the victim narratives, the empty threats, the LeBron-betrayal stretch — and why the most damning thing about this rollout isn't the music, it's the lack of growth. Plus: the Denise Williams "Free" sample he wasted on "Make Them Pay," Waka Flocka confronting Jake Paul on the blackface conversation, the Daz Dillinger / Tupac royalties lawsuit, the Audemars Piguet watch controversy, and a full segment where each host names their 5 Most Consistent MCs in hip-hop. L-Boogie reps Fabolous, Conway The Machine, Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, Pharoahe Monch. G-Money goes E-40, Too Short, Big Boi, LL Cool J, Common. J.A. picks Rick Ross, Black Thought, Scarface, Andre 3000, KRS-One. Fight us in the comments — who got snubbed?
