    True North Views Podcast Episode 182 | "Option 3"

    Kicking things off with the Clip of the Week (5:51). Then we get into Dill’s question of the week, and have the conversation about being the side piece (7:09). We discuss a certain style of hip hop that involves a lot of beat switches and transitions that doesn’t seem to exist anymore (14:29). That conversation parlays perfectly with a tweet from TDE’s REASON that asks whether people still care for full albums (15:52). Serge Ibaka is making a claim for best musician in the NBA and has some stats to prove it (20:51). We talk about what albums we’ve revisited over the past couple of weeks (25:48). There’s unsurprising outrage with the new Little Mermaid trailer (30:04). We got an existentialist question to end the show (31:52). Visit us at www.truenorthviews.ca.

    Kicking things off with the Song of the Week from 88GLAM (8:19). Dill’s question of the week asks what would you do (11:32).

We discuss platforms that build off of violence in the Black community as the Joe Budden Podcast directs a clear message toward Adam22; the discussion gets a bit more heated than anticipated (28:38).

    This week’s Song of The Week involves Tim Hortons (3:59). Dill makes the claim that Bad Bunny is the biggest artist in the world (8:27). Getting into some new music that has come out over the past few weeks sparks a few questions about DJ Khaled’s ability to produce hits, the music industry not being taken seriously, how long Hip Hop should be forecasted to remain as the dominant genre in music. Calvin Harris’ “Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2” also gets an in depth review (10:54). Harris tries to introduce an honest conversation about Bobby Shmurda after his latest album release (29:51).

    True North Views Podcast Episode 175 | "This Is Not An Interview" ft. B1GJuice

    We’re joined by friend of the show, B1GJuice, but this is not an interview. We discuss Toronto music; from the level of substance to a diss record that is a direct shot. We then shift the conversation to being about B1GJuice (38:33) - from life in Atlanta & South Carolina playing football, to getting into music from the world of poetry and football, to how doing music is a source of therapy, and so much more. We introduce the ‘What Do You Mean?’ segment (59:27), where we ask B1GJuice to elaborate on the meaning behind some of his profound tweets. Finally, some rapid fire topics to end off the show (1:19:03) - Chris Brown vs Usher in a Verzuz, and Drake album commentary. Please make sure to follow B1GJuice everywhere!
