Where do we go from here? Season 3 is about to wrap, but we couldn’t let it go without answering fan feedback/questions from the timeline and highlighting some of our favorite conversations from this season.

Are your Twitter Fingers running rampant? We discuss the impact of social media fan culture on how music journalists do their jobs and what we ultimately remember (or forget) about artists. David Dennis, Senior Writer at the Undefeated, joins us to discuss his approach to writing reviews, dealing with toxic fan culture, and why he wants to profile Guy Fieri. Plus, we share some of our favorite fan moments from the pandemic.

How much do you love your mom? We breakdown the artistry and impact of André 3000’s verse from “Life of the Party”, and what it says about him, the rap industry, and how we should reconsider an artist’s body of work. Oh, and Christina is not a fan of your Top 5 list.

From TikTok phenoms to reality tv stars, we discuss the current era of women making waves in the industry. Veteran music journalist Jewel Wicker joins us to break it all down, and shines a light on her latest cover story for Atlanta Magazine.

Lil Wayne has evolved into a seminal figure in pop music over the last two decades, transforming from an original Hot Boy to the Greatest Rapper Alive, plus assuming the mantle of high profile music executive. In short, the culture wouldn’t be the same without him. In this episode we peel back the layers on Weezy’s influence on Southern Hip-Hop, his multiple eras, and his public/political persona.

In this episode we give flowers to our very own Dr. Regina N. Bradley for her most recent book, “Chronicling Stankonia: The Rise of the Hip-Hop South,” and highlight the inspiration, the artwork, the music, and much more! And for a topic this special we had to call in two special friends of the podcast—Jason Lee (of Comedy Central and Bossip) and Yoh Phillips (of Rap Portraits)—to come through and bring Regina her bouquets during this roundtable conversation.

Is it really all about the children? Conservative outrage continues to spread throughout the culture and the timeline, with artists like Megan Thee Stallion and Lil Nas X sparking consistent backlash from pundits and industry peers alike. How did we get here, and where do we go next?

Who knew Tyler, the Creator was doing his homework? On his latest album, Call Me If You Get Lost, Tyler serves up a modern-day classic Gangsta Grillz experience featuring DJ Drama. (And there’s an OutKast connection, too!)

Who makes up your favorite dances, and how do they get paid? From Miami to New Orleans to Atlanta to the DMV, dance culture has always shaped Southern Hip-Hop. But now that dance choreography via social media is generating millions of views (and dollars) for brands and influencers, how are the originators of these trends benefiting? In this episode we touch on some of our favorite dances, the TikTok dance strike, and how dance challenge creators are fighting to be acknowledged, protected, and compensated.

How have streaming services and social media changed how hit records are made? If Hip-Hop now moves at the speed of the internet, how does that change our relationship to traditional radio? We break it all down with our kinfolk, the legendary B High (aka RADIO SHAWTY) of Hot 107 radio station in Atlanta.
