LopezLady ,

Loved the XXL discussion

I’ve only heard 3 and 4 so far but I loved the XXL freshmen discussion and them giving credit to the women. Also appreciated the women jumping in on the Jermaine Dupri discussion

TurtleWithAPen ,

Interesting listen

I’m only on episode 2 but I’ve enjoyed it so far. Both hosts seem passionate about the music they like and they’re kind to what they don’t. Gonna keep listening for sure

I enjoy it, just too long

This is a pretty good podcast. I like their thoughts. I just think it’s too long. I have to keep picking it later cause I can’t listen in one sit. But I like the content.
