Over the past week we've seen east coast earthquakes, people getting clapped over guacamole, NFL legends pulling blowers out (NO DIDDY), 3 celebrity deaths and a solar eclipse among other things. This week's show kicks off with a rundown of one of the craziest week's in the history of earth and a wellness check on how we're all holding up. All that is cool and all but the thing WE ALL have been talking about on social media, on our collective group chats and in person is the present Rap Civil War going on between Drake and the cabal led by Metro Boomin, Future, The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar.

The number 1 trending topic on earth is the Puff Daddy Saga. Starting last November with Cassie's lawsuit this situation has continued to grow legs and run around the world. The past few months have been filled with civil lawsuits from various Jane Doe's, allegations of sex trafficking, drug use and debauchery. One lawsuit in particular has grabbed the attention of social media and people have refused to let go. That is the lawsuit by producer Rodney Jones pka Lil Rod. This one in particular was salacious, headline grabbing and at points downright absurd.

Humbly stated this show is a MASTERPIECE!! Today the boyz expertly diagnose and dissect not only the 2024 Grammys but the history of it. They breakdown the criteria, politics and ego surrounding the show. They establish what's wrong and provide solutions to fix the storied institution as they steward towards the future. Credit is given to Dr. Dre for being arguably the greatest figure to ever come from hip-hop and Jay Z for using the Grammy stage to call them and the artists to the carpet. All the above plus the start of Drake and J. Cole's tour and Lil Durk, Killer Mike, Sza and Victoria Monet having their best weeks ever. There's also a dope edition of Y'all Weird and the guys attempt to figure out how the hell we got back in The Benzinoverse.

Another Media Monday and another edition of The Realest in the business. Today's show covers a lot of ground from the courtroom to the boardroom to the barbershop. For episode 297, the guys cover the lack of elevation in Philadelphia's nightlife scene and how the $200M athletes end up in the same spots as the scammas and kidnappers. They also tackle the shift in global nightlife caused by the pandemic and why everyone is chasing David Grutman (Groot Hospitality) and the Rosanegra Group. The heart of the show covers two major developments in legal cases both involving Donald J. Trump. Those being the voter election fraud case in Georgia led by maligned DA Fani Willis and the $83M L he took to E. Jean Carroll in a defamation case in NY. In GA, Fani had some major explaining to do after it came to light of her possibly improper relationship with her Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade that was uncovered during his divorce proceedings. Chad leaves no stone unturned in digging into the facts if the matter and potentially irreparable damage that has been done to Fani's reputation. The show wraps with a deep dive on the changing for-profit podcast landscape, Spotify clearing the deck for Joe Rogan's $250M re-up and The Swifties and Travis Kelce's feeble attempt to gentrify the bald fade smh.

Rap vet and esteemed actor Mos Def found himself in the eye of the storm of the Nigganet last week for his appearance on some random podcast that ended in him talking about Drake... DRAAAAAAKE? Not Talib Kweli, not Blackstar reunion, not Jay Electronica or anyone of his cadre, but DRAKE. Why is that might you ask? Because nothing gets the people going quite like some Aubrey Slander. AND SLANDER HE DID. The Cliff Notes include shopping, Target, Pop Music and when it all falls down and the columns start to buckle. Lock in while we examine what Mighty Mos said and see if we found him guilty of hateration or did he have a valid point. Feel free to state your opinions in the comments. We also tackle two of the greatest and most successful football minds of all time stepping away from the New England Patriots and Alabama (Roll Tide) respectively and debate their place on the list of all time greats in college and the pros.

Katt Williams on Club Shay Shay is the gift that keeps on giving. It's led to tons of content, reviews and hot takes. Some were spot on while others are flat out dishonest and bordering on libelous. The latest one is Jason Whitlock proclaiming that ESPN's Stephen A. Smith (of all people) is an industry plant. This led to a HUGE cultural conversation with most people calling bullshit on Whitlock and caused SAS to ETHER the fat man on his Stephen A. Smith Show on YouTube. Today we examine all the ins and outs of what an industry plant ACTUALLY IS and how long will we have to deal with this in the entertainment news arena. We also cover Club Shay Shay breaking YT viewership and engagement records, virality in multimedia, Kevin Hart & Dave Chappell, Bum Fights vs Dr. Phil, sports betting taking over the world and Hollywood telling Jonathan Majors he's too wild to play Dennis Rodman of all people... WHAT?! Enjoy another classic episode of The Realest Podcast Ever.
