Happy Tuesday to our new listeners and our true listeners. We’re back after a fun-filled weekend. Demaris & Rory were outside engaging in grown up degeneracy - Freddie Gibbs and well curated cocktails, and planning for their vacation next week
Meanwhile, Playboi Carti was busy proving them wrong about his superstar status after his highly-anticipated album dropped over the weekend, breaking streaming numbers
This leads into a conversation about SZA breaking another streaming record, and why artists from the past shouldn’t be compared to artists from now in regards to numbers.
Dreamville’s final lineup dropped - we discuss who we would want to see on the bill, and which of us would even be allowed on the premises
After we, of all people, lecture Rolling Stone on journalistic integrity after a hiccup on their part, we discuss SXSW’s transition from just tech into music, and how it affected the underground music scene
Speaking of impact, the Girl Scouts of America are making a different kind of money while running a different kind of racket, and since no one will address it - we do
We also have a voicemail from a Rory Type Beat, that has us make some corrections about interracial dating, and black culture itself in America
