Reg And Stone Talk Music!

This week, we dive into the Teyana Taylor album K.T.S.E. Also, since we're at the end of G.O.O.D. Friday's, it's only appropriate that we set up a death match between all of Kanye's releases. Also, we preview Drake's Scorpion and review new music from lojii and IAMDDB. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Reg and Stone unpack the surprising and tragic death of rapper XXXTentacion and the controversy around his career. As more and more Soundcloud rappers become victims of violence, we ask....are we returning to 1996? Plus....Jay+Bey's return, the wack Nas album, and new music from Jay Rock and Bibi Bourelly.

It's true. Good Music has determined what we will be talking about on this podcast for the next 4 weeks. Y'all act like y'all don't want to hear about what Kanye's up to......but you do. Anyway, we have a late pass on Kanye's album, a review of the Cudi/Kanye fronted Kids See Ghosts, and some pondering on the "end" of the Drake/Pusha beef. Plus new music from Black Thought and Tierra Whack. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Say Hello to the Bad Guy......We break down the diss track heard 'round the world and chart out some potential next steps for your Canadian hot stepper Drake. Is his career over? Can he rebound?

Basically we just fawn over Donald Glover's one-two punch of "This Is America" and his SNL appearance. We fawn over it so much, we almost forgot to speak about Atlanta! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

DISCLAIMER: Like last week's disclaimer, we recorded this prior to Kanye's.....er....enlightened views on slavery. So even though we tried to rush this podcast out, we're still late! This week.....We talk about Kanye's bizarre antics (i.e. Scoopa di Poopa), and it's effect not only on hip-hop, but on Good Music itself. Has Kanye basically ethered the careers of Pusha T and Cudi? Where do we go from here? What about other artists such as Goldlink and Daniel Caesar that are getting swept up in this mess? At this point, the only genre I trust is polka. As for other news, we review the latest Janelle Monae album, Dirty Computer and gush over the new Raury project, the woods.

DISCLAIMER: We recorded this two days before the Kanye/Trump bro-fest, so our thoughts about his Republicanness are largely contained to his previous tweets. But we predicted this y'all. This week.....Kanye is back, but is that a good thing? We look at Good Music's big summer releases as they go head to head with Drake's Scorpion project releasing the same month. Also, we dive deep into J'Cole's latest release, KOD. And as always, we have new music from Khruangbin, Kaytrandada and Robert Glasper, Princess Nokia, Channel Tres and James Tillman.
