“Baby-Faced Assassin”| EP.27

On this episode of 808’s & Convo; we’re diving straight into the chaos, controversy & conversations shaking the culture right now! We kick things off with the headline breakup between Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson. The internet is in full meltdown mode, with men and women completely split on who’s right, who’s wrong & what this says about dating at that level. Are people projecting or is there a real conversation to be had about expectations, image & power dynamics? Then we shift into a much heavier, darker topic surrounding 21-year-old alt-pop artist D4vd, who is reportedly facing a first-degree murder case involving 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. We approach this with care; focusing on what’s known, what’s speculation & why predators prey on those much weaker than themselves. Finally, we lighten things up—kind of—with talks of a potential Verzuz matchup between French Montana & Rick Ross. On paper…it feels like a strange pairing… but could it actually turn into a sleeper classic? We break down the catalogs, the hits & whether this battle even makes sense.

"Lies & Tall Tales"| EP.23

On this episode of 808’s & Convo, the energy is anything but quiet… We kick things off with some unexpected tension as Justin Bieber and Usher reportedly get into a heated exchange at Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s Oscars afterparty. What really went down behind those elite doors—and does this hint at deeper industry friction? From there, we shift to a bigger conversation: is Hov still relatable? With Jay-Z sitting firmly in billionaire status, we debate whether the everyday listener can still connect to his music, or if he’s evolved beyond the culture that built him. Next up, Terrence Howard has been making headlines with some… let’s just say interesting stories. Are these deep truths the world isn’t ready for, or is this a classic case of chasing attention in the viral era? And finally, we tap into City Girls drama as Yung Miami opens up about her fallout with JT. Is this just a bump in the road or the beginning of the end for one of hip-hop’s most dynamic duos?

"5 Minutes Too Long"| EP.21

This week on 808’s & Convo, Emo G & Temp steps into the fire where street codes, public perception, and hip-hop politics collide. We kick things off with the tension between Papoose and 50 Cent. Is this just rap banter, or something deeper rooted in hate? Next, Boosie Badazz stirs the pot by calling out rappers who choose ‘protective custody’ while incarcerated, specifically taking aim at Kodak Black. This opens up a real conversation: do “street codes” still apply when a multimillionaire is on the line? And who really gets to enforce those rules in 2026? We also discuss the long-awaited trial of Lil Durk, officially set to begin April 21st, 2026.

"Tomato, Tomato!"| EP.20

On this episode of 808’s & Convo, Emo G dives into a mix of hip-hop legacy, New York politics, and the unpredictable world of celebrity culture. First up, rumors are swirling that JAŸ-Z may have quietly locked down two full weeks at Barclays Center to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his legendary debut album Reasonable Doubt. With the arena calendar mysteriously blacked out during dates that are normally packed with events, fans are wondering if Hov is preparing a historic residency. But the bigger question is: in a New York that’s moving in a completely different musical direction, would a JAŸ-Z concert still hit the same way? Or has Hov ascended to such a different level of wealth and influence that he now feels more like a mogul than the street narrator who gave us Reasonable Doubt? Next, the city is buzzing over a controversial political move from Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who recently appointed Harlem rapper Jim Jones as a New York City Marshal tied to NYCHA housing matters. The decision has many New Yorkers confused & joking considering Jim’s own history of reportedly dealing with studio evictions. Emo G breaks down the optics of rappers stepping into government roles and asks whether this is genuine community representation or political theater. The conversation also revisits the mayor’s previous move of bringing Bronx rapper Mysonne onto the transition team as a criminal justice adviser. The episode also touches on a disturbing situation involving global superstar Rihanna, after a woman in her 30’s was taken into custody for allegedly firing multiple shots toward Rihanna’s Beverly Hills home from her vehicle. Authorities detained the suspect, and it remains unclear whether Rihanna or her family were even at the residence at the time. The story sparks a deeper conversation about celebrity safety and the darker side of fame. And to close things out, Emo asks a quick question that can cause a spirited debate involving 2 First Lady’s in modern history; Michelle Obama & Melania Trump! From hip-hop royalty to city hall decisions and celebrity headlines, Episode 20 is packed with perspective, humor, and real conversation.
