Breaking: Rory is getting killed by the internet for his Doechii take (and some would say rightfully so). His lawyers have drafted an apology and we challenged him to read it aloud (8:28). Meanwhile in R&B, Eric Bellinger has a bold claim - ‘Full Moon’ x Brandy is the greatest R&B album of all time (24:04). We attempt to debunk this, and surprise ourselves with just how much we like that album as well. We address the nonsense news headline that is ‘Beyonce is struggling to sell concert tickets’ before the team finds out an interesting fact about Demaris (39:22). After a convo about our experiences with war, we catch up on our tv show talk, and then go into voicemails (1:01:50). The first voicemail is from a young man who has a very …unique… question about our dating histories, and another young man with a freaked out question (1:23:44).

Top of the top! Mal was outside this weekend, and tells his story of why that is such a rare occurrence. Lebron James wanted SMOKE over his legacy - and we discuss whether he was in the right or not, as well as what our boundaries are when it comes to critiques of our loved ones. Doechii went on ‘Hot Ones’ with her DJ and caused quite a stir with one of her takes, and added insult to (Rory’s) injury when she got to stand on stage with Lauryn Hill.Gelo & GloRilla have dropped their long anticipated collab, and you already know how we feel about it. We also discuss Antonio Brown’s Fyre Fest announcement, AD’s (Love Is Blind) new engagement (Clay, you good?!?), + the return of a voicemail asking for love advice.

This week has been super busy, and the gang has been outside! We quickly run through their week’s activities (sort of) and then get into Casey Anthony and her attempted OJ-esque rebrand (19:00) . Rappers are turning into actors at an alarming rate, so of course we have to give our top 5 of the greatest to touch both a pen and the big screen (29:10). Speaking of the greats, Jermaine Dupri set the internet on fire after posing a question about the purpose of being an indie artist over being signed to a major (38:48). We discuss why going indie was best for Rory personally - and later get a call from JD while giving him a chance to explain himself (1:15:50). This leads us into a conversation about just how much control record labels have in creating a superstar ; how Tyla might be the next one and if Playboi Carti is already one (47:35). Last but not least, of course we had to let you guys know about new music coming today, make sure you check it out and let us know what’s hit or miss. #volume

Fresh off the epic Rory vs Demaris Pusha T Bars Battle, we get back on the mic to crown an official winner. Tank Davis and Lamont Roach fought to a draw Saturday Night in Brooklyn which got us thinking about the times we've gotten hit in the face. Mal tells us the story behind the nickname "Space Cakes", and about the time he told Halle Berry he'd drink her bath water + more! #volume

It's never a bad idea to bring a Twitter debate onto the pod. We discuss if $30 for lunch on Valentine's Day is "low effort". The Stud Steppers dance dedicated to Brittney Griner has resurfaced on social media, and it has Rory remembering when King Bach went full SJW on YouTube. Plus, what would Demaris do (or won't do) to get Mal out of a Russian prison, and why isn't Gen Z hooked on drugs like everybody else? #volume
