Episode 311 | Are Journalists Bigger Than Artists?

New Rory & MAL

Happy Tuesday Gang! The crew is back after. Long weekend of nothing. We start with some light banter, and then discuss an interesting theory Rory has about the last few releases from the Big 3 not being on DSP's, and how that will affect how artists release music moving forward (09:58). On another side of twitter, Russ got into a war with the journalists about who needs who more - the journalists or the artists. We discuss whether you can maintain journalistic integrity if your interview is sponsored by the artist (28:58). Speaking of journalism in hip-hop, Wayno is currently being criticized for his comments about Dreamville v. TDE after sharing info from private conversations had backstage at Dreamville Fest (57:22). He calls in to stand on business, as well as clear up misconceptions that people might have (1:12:41). GloRilla is given her flowers for her new album 'Glorious' (1:19:12) quickly, before Demaris and Mal get into a spirited discussion about which one of them is the bigger gaslighter (1:27:13). Comment and let us know who you think it is. We have voicemails! The first is from a woman who is married but still in love with her ex and wants advice on how to move forward (1:22:58), and the next is from a teacher is trying to figure out a way to make certain inappropriate slang stop being used in her classroom (1:46:30). We also discuss Bronny & his dad's first game together, Bow Wow's comments on Diddy missing from the black Hollywood scene, Ty Dolly $'s viral track leak, + more!
