About this episode
Happy Tuesday to our new listeners and our true listeners. We’re back after a fun-filled weekend. Demaris & Rory were outside engaging in grown up degeneracy - Freddie Gibbs and well curated cocktails, and planning for their vacation next week (5:37). Meanwhile, Playboi Carti was busy proving them wrong about his superstar status after his highly-anticipated album dropped over the weekend, breaking streaming numbers (26:22). This leads into a conversation about SZA breaking another streaming record, and why artists from the past shouldn’t be compared to artists from now in regards to numbers. (43:23) Dreamville’s final lineup dropped - we discuss who we would want to see on the bill, and which of us would even be allowed on the premises (54:22). After we, of all people, lecture Rolling Stone on journalistic integrity after a hiccup on their part, we discuss SXSW’s transition from just tech into music, and how it affected the underground music scene (1:08:02). Speaking of impact, the Girl Scouts of America are making a different kind of money while running a different kind of racket, and since no one will address it - we do (1:26:59). We also have a voicemail from a Rory Type Beat, that has us make some corrections about interracial dating, and black culture itself in America (1:39:27). *Timestamps may vary due to ads* See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
