#55: Hurt People Hurt People (The Hard Work Beats Talent Episode)

Published: Aug. 16, 2022, 2:43 p.m.

It's been a long time but we are BACK and have a brand new episode of the podcast for you! Nick and Jared hold things down and kick things off with 50 Cent. 50 was recently on a Houston radio station and commented on how today making a rap record is easy, since everyone in 2022 sounds the same, over the same beats and sounds, we ask each other if 50 is right and what rappers can do to make themselves sound different in today's landscape. Next up, Ms. Nicki Minaj gets honored at this year's VMAs (August 28) with the highest honor of winning the Video Vanguard Award and becoming the ninth female overall to win it. (Missy Elliot was last to win the honor in 2019.) While we briefly look back at her career, we ask if it's too soon for Nicki to win the award since of the marauders feels like it's too early for her to win that award. After that, Chance the Rapper appeared on NY's The Breakfast Club morning show to address what's next for him, and to talk about how he has "falling off" since dropping The Big Day to negative reviews from fans. The marauders ask not only if he did fall off with that album but what he can do to get his fanbase back. Later, The Game finally dropped his long awaited album Drillmatic to a 31 track rollout with featured everyone under the sun. The track that has people talking the most is his diss to Eminem on "The Black Slim Shady" which has a lot of people talking about it to mixed reviews. We give our opinions on the diss track and give our first impressions on Game's new album and ask if it was worth the wait. All that plus One Gotta Go: Breakfast Club moments, laughs, album recommendations and more!!
