Late upload, but we are back again with another new episode of the Low End Marauders podcast! Nick holds things down again as he talks about how everyone is coming after Drake thanks to Future and Metro Boomin's new album We Don't Trust You. Nick gives his takes on Kendrick Lamar's verse on the much talked about track "Like That", if Kendrick does drop a diss track on Drake and if he should respond back. Plus, Nick quickly touches on Drake and Lil Wayne being caught in a picture using a teleprompter during a stop on Drake's tour. After that, Nelly stops by HBO's The Shop to say that he rapped in the hardest era to be number one. Among the likes of DMX, Jay Z, Eminem and many others. Nick breaks down each era of rap that he has lived through and gives his surprising answer on if Nelly is right. Later, Freaknik the documentary made it's way onto Hulu. The festival started in 1983 in Atlanta and soon became known as "black Spring Break" for students around the Atlanta area. The festival started to attract more and more students as its popularity grew throughout the 80s and 90s, but as the popularity grew, the more tense it got for students especially around 1996 with the Summer Olympics. Nick gives his review on the documentary and wonders if something as big as Freaknik could ever happen today in 2024. All that, plus, shout outs, album recommendation and more!!

After a long break the show is BACK for 2024 and back with another new episode of the show! Only Nick holds things down for this time around as he kicks things off by touching on why fans were underwhelmed by Jeezy's Tiny Desk performance. Fans called out the show by saying the audience in attendance was bad for the show, the setlist that he had and the location of the show. Nick gives his thoughts on everything and if he liked or hated the show. Next up, Cardi B came back with a new track "Like What (Freestyle)" which had a lot of people talking including Joe Budden who says the pretty girl wave rap is over. Nick gives his thoughts on if it is over and how Cardi's new single sounds. After that, ScHoolboy Q's highly anticipated new Blue Lips recently dropped to give west coast rap a shot in the arm to stay relevant while the South and NY rap is all over the place. Nick reviews the album and ask if Q's Blue Lips can revive the west coast back to what it once was a decade ago. All that plus shoutouts, an album recommendation and a lot more!!

Been gone for a minute but we are BACK with another new episode of LEM! Nick and Jared are back at the helm and we kick things off with the breaking news of the split between Cardi B and Offset. Cardi recently told fans on Instagram Live that she is now single, only to fuel the fires (again) of Offset cheating on her, especially with rumors going around the he slept with Chrisean Rock at a party that all three attended. We give our thoughts on the entire situation and find out what both parties should do post breakup. After that, Andre 3000 FINALLY dropped a solo album, only to disappoint fans by saying that it wasn't going to be a rap album since he had nothing to rap about at the age of 48. Lil Wayne chimed in on Andre's comments by saying that it was "depressing". We give our thoughts on 3000's new album and ask if Wayne was right to call it depressing that Andre had nothing to rap about. Next, with Busta Rhymes dropping a new album Blockbusta, he stopped on KickGame's UK show Shopping for Sneakers. When host, Craig Mitch, ask Busta on who can beat him in a Verzuz battle, Busta confidently said: "nobody!". We put his theory to the test and ask if someone can go round for round with Busta or wonder if he's right. After that, from Drake's midlife crisis and rappers showing no originality to celebrating 50 years of hip hop, we take a look back at the best and worst of the genre in 2023. All that plus, podcasts on Mt. Rushmore, shoutouts, laughs, album recommendations and more!!

On our 2023 NFL Week 3 Miami Dolphins massacre over the Denver Broncos episode, Nick and Jared hold things down and kick things off over the huge news that Usher will be headlining the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show in Las Vegas. The marauders touch on if Usher's halftime show will be better than Rihanna's and what we should expect when he hits the stage in 2024. Next up, Chris Brown and R&B singer Tinashe go blow for blow with words after the songstress recently said in an interview that regretted doing songs with both Brown and R. Kelly. Chris caught wind and decided to clap back with a scathing response to her. We not only ask if she should regret doing the song with Chris but if or how she can avoid more situations like this in the future. After that, what do Teyana Taylor, Jeezy, Remy and Papoose all have in common this fall? All of the aforementioned are heading for separation/divorce within these few weeks. We ask whose split was the most shocking, who can still save their relationship/marriage or who should stay split up. All that plus, laughs, album recommendations, our newest game on Southern rappers and more!!

Been gone for a minute but we are finally back with another new and funny episode of the podcast. We kick things off with LL Cool J's comments on rappers retiring on Sway In The Morning. Before kicking a freestyle on the show, he talks about how rap isn't a sport and calls out those who flirt with want to retire as a way of being bored with their careers. The marauders give their take on LL's words on retirement and why we shouldn't fall for it. After that, we talk about ageism in hip hop today after rapper Asian Doll wrote in a now deleted post on Twitter/X that people who are trying to make it in rap at/over the age of 30 is crazy. With the word going around thanks to DJ Akademics, other rappers sounded off on the post through social media as well. Nick and Jared give their thoughts on Asian Doll's post and also comment on Gillie Da Kid's comment on stop rapping past the age of 35 months ago on his podcast. Plus they ask if there should be an age limit on people trying to rap and make it in the rap game. Later, after celebrating 50 years of rap/hip hop on August 11th, many publications from Rolling Stone to Complex have made lists on the best rappers/groups/songs of all time by celebrating. Rappers have also voiced their opinions on some lists and some have even ask people on why certain rappers haven't made these lists and ask why they were overlooked. California rapper Mistah F.A.B. asked while watching the Hip Hop 50 concert from Yankee Stadium why MC Hammer wasn't a part of the show due to his contributions in the early 90s. Producer Pete Rock, asked why his late cousin Heavy D didn't get his name onto any lists after what Pete Rock said Heavy D did for the genre. We ask who should have been recognized more out of the two legends on these lists. All that a brand new game with hip hop videos, laughs, album recommendations, shout outs and more!!
