About this listen

This week the squad is back and we’re starting off hot with the BAFTAs controversy — leaving in the Tourette’s outburst where the N-word was shouted at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, but reportedly editing out political statements and anti-Israel statements. Is that consistency… or selective censorship? Who decides what’s too offensive — and what’s too political?

From there, we react to a clip asking the age-old question: is social media creating unrealistic expectations in dating, or are people just blaming the algorithm for their own delusions? And we get right to it, is liking pictures on social media considered cheating? Is culture warping reality — or are we?

Next up, boxing. Ryan Garcia gets the win — does this reset his narrative? And Floyd Mayweather coming out of retirement at 49 to fight Manny Pacquiao again… is this legacy, ego, or money issues? No PPV. Streaming on Netflix at the Sphere. Is this the death of traditional boxing business models? And if Floyd loses with 50-0 on the line… does history change?

Then it’s rap beef with real undertones. T.I. declares “war” after 50 posts Tiny — but when “snitch” allegations and paperwork get involved, is that still entertainment? We break down their catalogs, platinum stats, and cultural impact: in a Verzuz, who actually wins — T.I. or 50 Cent? And who meant more to hip hop culture?

After that, relationships get tested. Symba says he’s ready for marriage and calls The Game his big brother — but then Game slides in his girl’s DMs. Is that snake behavior or industry normal? Why don’t some men post their significant other — privacy, strategy, or keeping options open?

And we close with the bigger picture — a cartel leader is killed and chaos follows. Has the War on Drugs ever actually worked? Or does removing the head just create a bloodier power vacuum? If demand never slows down in America… can this war ever be won?
