    Case 270: Is Wale's Ambition his best album?

    We break down the sound, the singles, the features, and Wale’s position in hip-hop history while asking the question that refuses to go away: Why is Wale so underrated? In this episode, we dig into: • Wale’s evolution from blog darling to major-label artist • Whether Ambition helped or hurt his legacy • How the album fits alongside Drake, Kendrick, J. Cole, and his peer group • The tension between commercial success and cultural respect • Why Wale’s pen is often praised quietly instead of loudly celebrated Evidence is presented. Biases are challenged. Verdicts are argued. This is Rap & Order—where albums go on trial and history gets re-examined. DUN-DUN. Case 270 is now on the record.

    Case 269: Was The Firm Album a Flop or a Forgotten Classic?

    Case 269 of Rap & Order revisits The Album, the first and only release from The Firm. On paper, the union of Nas, AZ, Foxy Brown, and Nature (following Cormega’s departure) had all the makings of a rap supergroup built to last. So, what went wrong? Join us as we breakdown some of The Album's highs and unfortunate lows.  Hosts:   Taurian B.  https://instagram.com/taurian_b https://Twitter.com/taurian_b   First Klass Regg https://instagram.com/firstklass_regg https://Twitter.com/firstklass_regg Subscribe for more exclusive FKB content:  https://bit.ly/FKBYTSub  Connect with FKB!

    Case 268: Is Nothing Was the Same Drake's Most Complete Album?

    In this episode of Rap & Order, Taurian B. and First Klass Regg put on their detective caps and revisit Drake’s third studio album, Nothing Was the Same — the moment when Aubrey Graham stopped being “the next big thing” and officially became the guy.   The courtroom is split: Regg swears this is Drake’s most complete album, the pinnacle of his artistry and emotional balance. Taurian argues this was the peak — the moment Drake perfected his formula before drifting fully into pop superstardom. Together, they cross-examine classics like “Tuscan Leather,” “Started from the Bottom,” and “Hold On, We’re Going Home,” while dissecting the cultural moment when the 6 God turned the rap world into his personal therapy session.   Was Nothing Was the Same Drake’s magnum opus or the beginning of his mainstream takeover? T and Regg break down the evidence, revisit 2013’s soundscape, and close the case with their final verdicts.   Verdict pending. Jury advised to listen closely. DUN-DUN.

    Case 267 Life of a Don -- Did Don Toliver Drop the Best Alternative Rap Album of 2021?

    For Case 267, Regg and Taurian B. drag Don Toliver’s 2021 album Life of a Don into the interrogation room. Was it smooth alternative brilliance, or did it just smell like too much cologne in a packed lounge? They break the project down track by track, interrogating beats, hooks, and features like witnesses who might be lying under oath. The jury? That’s the listeners, who get hit with Regg and Taurian’s opening statements before the trial really begins.   The central question: Was Life of a Don the best alternative rap album of 2021? To find the answer, they pull out the rap yearbook and size it up against the competition—projects from artists who also blurred lines between rap, R&B, and experimental soundscapes. Regg plays the sharp-tongued prosecutor, calling out weak points with dry precision, while Taurian steps in as the defense attorney, willing to argue that even a hazy banger deserves its day in court. If a track drags, they’ll call it “inadmissible evidence.” If a feature steals the show, they’ll accuse Don of negligence. And when they deliver their final verdict, it feels less like a review and more like a sentencing—does Life of a Don walk free as a 2021 standout, or does it get locked away in the cell of forgettable projects?   Hosts:   Taurian B. https://instagram.com/taurian_b https://Twitter.com/taurian_b   First Klass Regg https://instagram.com/firstklass_regg https://Twitter.com/firstklass_regg   Subscribe for more exclusive FKB content: https://bit.ly/FKBYTSub   Connect with FKB!

    Case 266: Is Kendrick Lamar’s "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers" a Masterpiece Or a Misstep?

    Is Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers a masterpiece or a misstep? On Case 266 of the Rap & Order Podcast, hosts First Klass Regg and Taurian B. put Kendrick’s most personal and controversial album on trial.   They break down the themes of trauma, therapy, family, and fame, and debate whether this double-album cements Kendrick Lamar’s legacy as rap’s greatest storyteller or exposes cracks in his flawless run. From standout tracks like “N95” and “Mother I Sober” to the bold production choices and polarizing lyrics, nothing is off the table. Join the courtroom as Regg and Taurian deliver their verdict: Is Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers a misunderstood classic, or Kendrick Lamar’s weakest project?   Subscribe to Rap & Order on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Podbean for more hip-hop trials, debates, and verdicts.
