    113: Uncle's VHS Under The Bed || Caps N Crowns Podcast

    In this episode of Caps N Crowns, VA Verse, Corey Southwest, and Kerron kick things off by admitting to trolling Arizona Reggie and starting fake dating rumors in the local music scene. The fellas then pivot to the NBA to debate the lethal hypothetical of pairing Devin Booker with Nikola Jokic, analyze LeBron's Miami departure compared to Carmelo Anthony's career, and question if the Klay Thompson era is officially over. Things take a serious turn as the crew discusses the "Social Media Brain" epidemic—asking why people's first instinct is to pull out a phone and record a racist encounter instead of just handling it right there. They also dive deep into the music business, explaining the harsh difference between getting cheated out of your royalties and experiencing true betrayal. Later, the guys break down the red flags of women who "have no aunties" and lack the family guidance to make good choices. Finally, things completely derail during a debate about playing music in the bedroom, which leads to a hilarious story about playing a female artist's entire catalog while hooking up with her (and getting called "cringe" the next morning), followed by a wild confession about preferring the raw, voyeuristic "uncle's VHS under the bed" recording style. 00:00:00 - Intro & The "No Role Modelz" drop | 00:02:46 - Trolling Arizona Reggie and fake dating rumors | 00:04:30 - NBA Talk: Jokic & Booker, Magic & Michael's baby | 00:39:47 - LeBron, Carmelo Anthony, and leaving Miami | 00:51:54 - "Social Media Brain": Recording racists vs. handling it | 01:08:01 - Music Business: Bad contracts, stolen royalties, and real betrayal | 01:22:24 - "She Got No Aunties": The importance of family guidance for women | 01:25:59 - Is the Klay Thompson era over? | 01:44:00 - The "Music During Sex" Debate: Her own catalog & the "VHS Uncle" style | 02:30:38 - Outro: Being a person of your word. #CapsNCrowns #VAVerse #Podcast #HipHop #NBADebates #Relationships #MusicBusiness #Culture Follow Us, Subscribe, Send Music, or Skip Line HERE: https://linktr.ee/capsncrownspod CashApp: https://cash.app/$CapsnCrowns Follow Us: https://www.instagram.com/capsncrownspod/ https://www.tiktok.com/@capsncrowns ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.instagram.com/coreysouthwest/ https://www.instagram.com/reallifekerron/ https://www.instagram.com/va_verse/ Purchase Merch: http://tee.pub/lic/CapsNCrowns

    112: The Whole Shabang (Iceman Review) || Caps N Crowns Podcast

    In this episode of Caps N Crowns, VA Verse, Corey Southwest, and Kerron sit down for the highly anticipated, official review of the Iceman album. The guys kick things off by giving Yung Miami (Carisha) her flowers for her new single, debating if JT actually has a better solo track, and officially declaring that the Quality Control (QC) era might be over. During the debate, Verse makes a hilarious pledge to leave his hip-hop "purity" behind and embrace being a full-blown "industry" guy. The fellas then pivot to the main event, breaking down the Iceman project and making the clear distinction between a rushed first-listen reaction and a fully digested review. They dissect the intro, discuss the realities of aging in hip-hop as Drake addresses turning 40, and debate Lil Yachty's undeniable influence on the hooks. Things really heat up as the crew breaks down the lethal shots fired at A$AP Rocky, reacting to the wild disrespect of weaponizing baby mamas in a beef and claiming to have receipts on everyone in the game.

The guys kick things off discussing Silk Sonic and the harsh realities of the Arizona rap scene, dropping gems on why artists need to stop copying other regions, why Bootleg Kev doesn't owe local artists anything, and why nobody wants to buy a t-shirt with just your rap name on it. The conversation takes a wild turn when the crew dissects the Fast & Furious movies, roasting Dominic Toretto's transition into a full-blown superhero and debating the out-of-pocket theory that Paul Walker's passing was the greatest thing to happen to Wiz Khalifa's career—a take so crazy they had to jokingly pull Kerron into a corporate HR meeting. Later, they discuss the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic that Janet Jackson allegedly warned people not to see, and wrap up by pitching a 3-season Netflix series based on Brittney Griner's life, leading to a hilarious comparison between her and Rudy Gobert. 00:00:00 - Intro, Silk Sonic & Training Day quotes | 00:04:30 - The Local Hip-Hop Debate: Why Arizona artists struggle to break through | 00:13:00 - Bootleg Kev, radio play, and cutting through the fog | 00:30:15 - A Meeting With HR: Did Paul Walker's passing save Wiz Khalifa's career? | 00:31:20 - Merch Advice: Stop putting your rap name on T-shirts | 00:35:00 - Fast & Furious Rant: Tokyo Drift and Dominic Toretto becoming a superhero | 00:45:20 - The Michael Jackson Biopic: Why Janet said don't watch it | 00:47:30 - Brittney Griner's Netflix potential and the Rudy Gobert comparison. #CapsNCrowns #VAVerse #Podcast #HipHop #BootlegKev #FastAndFurious #WizKhalifa #MichaelJackson #BrittneyGriner #Culture Follow Us, Subscribe, Send Music, or Skip Line HERE: https://linktr.ee/capsncrownspod CashApp: https://cash.app/$CapsnCrowns Follow Us: https://www.instagram.com/capsncrownspod/ https://www.tiktok.com/@capsncrowns ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.instagram.com/coreysouthwest/ https://www.instagram.com/reallifekerron/ https://www.instagram.com/va_verse/ Purchase Merch: http://tee.pub/lic/CapsNCrowns

The fellas then transition into heavy music talk, bracing for the alleged May 15th release of Drake's rumored new album, "Iceman." The crew breaks down their top 5 Drake albums of all time, debates Noah "40" Shebib's production percentages, and questions if hip-hop has been in a stalemate since Nipsey Hussle's passing. Things get spicy when they discuss the impact of Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us," comparing the cultural hype to the Popeye's chicken sandwich, and arguing whether street dudes actually care about Pulitzer Prizes.

The fellas also deep-dive into the dark, toxic history of Bob Barker and The Price is Right, review Kanye West's latest album, and lose their minds over a LaRussell freestyle. Later, the conversation shifts to street politics as they dissect the Gucci Mane and Pooh Shiesty situation, establishing the strict rules of snitching for civilians versus street dudes.

The conversation quickly derails into some wild, historically inaccurate hip-hop takes, including the bold claims that Takeoff is from Maryland and Tupac is from Rochester. Samone, drops in as the crew tackles a crazy "Am I The A*****e" story about an older guy shooting his shot at a 19-year-old's birthday party, only to get publicly roasted with the R. Kelly "Ignition" remix. The guys debate whether the girls were completely out of line or if the dude should've just read the room.

Cole should have ever bowed out, and argue why the current Big Three is the greatest in rap history.

Things take a serious (and hilarious) turn when the crew reacts to Druski's controversial "white conservative woman" skit, leading to a deep dive into the history of blackface vs. whiteface, the weaponization of racial slurs, generational trauma, and why some people pretend to be oblivious to the system.
