    Episode 99: Story Of Adidon Was Overrated

    Send us Fan Mail We’re officially ONE episode away from Episode 100!  The fellas are back with another hilarious and unfiltered episode of the Hard Pass Podcast, covering viral questions, hip-hop debates, celebrity drama, music, confessions, and some serious arguments along the way! South Cac Chuck, Travey2x, and the crew kick things off with their Fun Facts before jumping into a viral TikTok question that sparks a VERY interesting conversation.  Then it’s time for the WHAT’S POPPIN SEGMENT, where the crew breaks down the drama involving Papoose, Claressa Shields, and Remy Ma, debates whether Claressa Shields could actually beat a man in a fight, reacts to Lizzo’s new look, and discusses Complex’s list of the 50 Greatest Diss Tracks of All Time. The music debates get even crazier as the crew talks about Kendrick Lamar and Jhene Aiko’s new song “So Good” and whether Big Sean should feel a way about it. They also revisit rap punchlines, metaphors, and puns that went completely over their heads when they were younger — but finally clicked years later.  And the Wale conversation continues! Is Wale deserving of being mentioned alongside Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and Drake when discussing the best rappers of his generation? Plus, the crew revisits the debate over Wale’s “Bad” with Rihanna vs. “Bad” with Tiara Thomas. Which version is better?  Then things get personal during the CONFESSIONS SEGMENT, followed by HARD PASS OR HARD TO PASS, where the crew discusses the controversy surrounding DaBaby’s new restaurant. And of course, we close things out with the R&B & Hip-Hop Question Segment before making some HUGE announcements about the upcoming EPISODE 100 POD PARTY!   EPISODE 100 IS NEXT!  What did YOU think about the topics in Episode 99?

    Episode 97 Emotional A** Ni**a

    Send us Fan Mail The boys are back with another episode full of hot takes, hilarious confessions, music debates, relationship talk, and a few moments that definitely should’ve stayed in the group chat.  South Cac Chuck, Bougie, and Travey2x kick things off with some questionable fun facts before diving into The Game’s The Documentary 3 and debating why rappers keep announcing their retirement. Then the conversation gets real when the guys discuss JAY-Z’s best album, Rod Wave’s upcoming release, and the ever-changing world of hip-hop. Things take a turn when the crew breaks down Bhad Bhabie’s body transformation and gets into a bigger conversation about the difference between what catches your eye on Instagram and what you actually look for in someone you’d want to build a life with. Then comes CONFESSIONS — where the boys put it all on the table. From Travey2x to Bougie to South Cac Chuck, nobody is completely safe.  The crew also reacts to a viral video and asks the question: Is it smart, ignorant, or just straight-up wild? After that, it’s time to test their Lil Wayne knowledge with a game of “Guess the Song from the 1-Second Snippet.” But underneath all the jokes, debates, and chaos is an important reminder: cherish the moment. The guys reflect on appreciating the people around you and not taking the present for granted. And just when you think it’s over… there’s a fake outro, some emotional love between the boys, and the official Episode 100 Podcast Party announcements.  Episode 97 is a little music, a little controversy, a lot of laughs, some real conversations, and just enough emotion to earn the title: “Emotional A Nia.”  Hard Pass Podcast  Episode 97 — “Emotional A Nia”  Road to Episode 100 starts NOW.
