Kicking things off with the Clip of the Week (5:51). Then we get into Dill’s question of the week, and have the conversation about being the side piece (7:09). We discuss a certain style of hip hop that involves a lot of beat switches and transitions that doesn’t seem to exist anymore (14:29). That conversation parlays perfectly with a tweet from TDE’s REASON that asks whether people still care for full albums (15:52). Serge Ibaka is making a claim for best musician in the NBA and has some stats to prove it (20:51). We talk about what albums we’ve revisited over the past couple of weeks (25:48). There’s unsurprising outrage with the new Little Mermaid trailer (30:04). We got an existentialist question to end the show (31:52).

This week’s Song of The Week involves Tim Hortons (3:59). Dill makes the claim that Bad Bunny is the biggest artist in the world (8:27). Getting into some new music that has come out over the past few weeks sparks a few questions about DJ Khaled’s ability to produce hits, the music industry not being taken seriously, how long Hip Hop should be forecasted to remain as the dominant genre in music. Calvin Harris’ “Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2” also gets an in depth review (10:54). Harris tries to introduce an honest conversation about Bobby Shmurda after his latest album release (29:51). Dill asks who is the next women's megastar after Beyonce, as well as the next women’s face of R&B (34:26).

We had to have a WTF Clip of the Week segment this week after hearing what we heard (23:34). Then we go into a deep dive question about the City of Toronto in the month of August; is Toronto a top 3 pound for pound city in the WORLD? Within that discussion comes talk about what events are happening and what we like and don’t like about them; from Caribana, to Veld Music Festival, to OVO fest, just to name a few. Also within that discussion, we have a heated debate about the hype of the Weeknd versus the hype of Drake (26:23).
