Mal is gloating. Rory is instigating. And Demaris is sliding down a wall. A battle has been fought... well, kind of. We jump right into the retelling of our weekend with rap and where we all were when J.Cole dissed Kendrick... as well as when he apologized. Mal has a legendary monologue, letting us know exactly how this weekend marked the end of J. Cole's career and legacy as a GOAT. We contemplate whether the Big 2 will continue their bromance or end it, and Mal gives us some insight as to why Drake didn't show up to Dreamville Festival (46:45:). Mal (again) challenges Kendrick to drop his Drake diss so that hip-hop can be saved (57:05), and finally the heat is off Cole and on to Wale and Meek Mill, who were arguing on twitter at the time of taping (1:27:15). Mal challenges Rory to find a better rapper than Drake (excluding Jay-Z) (1:38:57), and it is once again himself vs. the room. Also discussed is the Northeast earthquake (1:54:59), GloRilla's new album and new beef (1:59:25), Megan Thee Stallion's philanthropic work, + more!
