  1. Tender Headed (Episode 75)

    MAR 6

    Tender Headed (Episode 75)

    Today on Empty Crates, the guys roll the dice on their 75th episode to discuss Baby Keem's new album, "Ca$ino" (49:38). There's more to it, such as Gut bringing a new party anthem to the beginning of the podcast, T.I.'s recent interview on the Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show, general goofiness in entertainment, the "hot take" of music today actually being good, and blog era ponderings with The Cool Kids and Pac Div. We couldn't fit it all into the previous sentence, so you'll have to just lock in with us and see where it goes! Enjoy the episode.

  2. G.I. Jane Joke (Episode 74)

    FEB 27

    G.I. Jane Joke (Episode 74)

    There's a special brand of chaos that you can only get when friends forget the microphone is on, and that's the best way to explain this week's episode of Empty Crates. The guys do a quick elimination round featuring five great Hip-Hop/R&B collaborations (57:47) before diving into the album of the day- TLC's "CrazySexyCool" (64:44). As always, those are the main topics but the episode contains much more, such as the guys addressing the 50 Cent vs T.I. beef and the regional biases that still exist in music, Game being added to Mt. Capathon alongside Lupe Fiasco, Ron Browz' production resurgence, and TLC turning down CLASSIC songs you may not know was associated with them. Bring some snacks and lock in with us! Heads up, all of the episodes are now on YouTube! Search for "EmptyCratesPod" and give us a sub!

    Suckas (Episode 73 | feat. Hashim)

    Today's episode has that classic feel written all over it. The homie Hashim crashes the pod just in time to talk one of D Gut's favorite albums for Black History Month- Public Enemy's "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back" (62:57), but not before the guys take time to address a few of the long-running narratives in the previous episodes. Not to spoil the randomness for today, but Ja Rule, Tony Yayo, T.I., 50 Cent, Chris Rock, and A$AP Rocky all make appearances before the grand finale; Hashim and Gut finally circle back for clarity concerning one of the pod's earlier, more controversial moments... thanks to Ice Cube's "Death Certificate." Enjoy your time with Empty Crates!

    Podcast Etiquette (Episode 72 | feat. TwentyEight Flavors)

    Welcome back to Empty Crates! TwentyEight Flavors crashes the podcast IN PERSON and the chaos is evident from the beginning. In honor of Black History Month, the guys decide to dive into a special review of an all-time classic album, Sade's "Diamond Life" (64:12). They also recap a couple of highlights from the Grammy winners in a way that only they can (39:47). There's more topics here, such as playing Taboo with Durand Bernarr, LJ learning about SPM's offenses live, Styles P's craftsmanship, and... Brian Pumper's "opportunistic" musical endeavors. Enjoy your time with us today, and share the pod if you enjoyed it!

    The Fall-Off: A Special Episode of Empty Crates (feat. TwentyEight Flavors)

    Sometimes, you have to crank out some content. On today's special episode of Empty Crates, the guys (and 28) discuss the double-disc release of J. Cole in length. From thoughts about if he's really retiring, to random hip-hop checks, to the overlay that stretches throughout the entire album, the guys bring their notes, quotes, and jokes for this one. Enjoy. Disc 29 (25:05) and Disc 39 (73:58) timestamps for you to jump ahead if you desire!

    Tom (Episode 71)

    Ladies and gentlemen, Episode 71 is active for your ears! On today's episode of Empty Crates, the guys discuss the latest album from A$AP Rocky with "Don't Be Dumb" and give their overall thoughts on the music (64:55). The guys also discuss the worst artist names of all time - at least the ones they can think of on the spot (23:47), another elimination chamber they probably shouldn't do since it's Black History month (60:20), and much more randomness that can't fit in this description. Enjoy the episode, and be sure to connect with us!

  7. PETA (Episode 70)

    JAN 30

    PETA (Episode 70)

    Episode 70 and counting is a beautiful thing. On today's episode of Empty Crates, the guys take some time to address J. Cole's return (32:29) and if the "apology" disqualifies him from being one of the bests (no, it doesn't, but the here's the timestamp anyway - 54:36). They also get hung up on who had the best debut album (81:39), and much more. From talking about the DMX anomaly with his white fans, to Seaworld haters and the recently cancelled Vince Staples show, it's a full docket! Thanks for rocking with us.

    Loopholes (Episode 69)

    On today's episode of Empty Crates - and officially the first NEW episode of 2026 - the guys decide to dive into what they think is ScHoolboy Q's BEST album (58:39) and inadvertently discover their thoughts on a couple had changed- for better or for worse. The guys also get some steam off about OutKast's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame issues, the details of Fiascogate, honing in on the levels of "headass", the Drake RICO, the worst joke Gut's ever said on pod, and much more... including the reason for the artwork (39:39). But we don't want to spoil that realization. Welcome back to Empty Crates!
