Episode 38

• Slick Rick: The hosts reflect on his legendary status and debate whether his latest album enhances or detracts from his legacy.

• Wu-Tang & Mathematics: There's little buzz around their new project, and the crew explores why it’s flying under the radar—invoking KRS-One’s ethos in the discussion.

• The Clipse – “So Be It”: The recent release is dissected, including speculation on how Travis Scott might respond to its bars or energy.

• Segment: Juneteenth Music: The episode closes with a segment honoring Juneteenth, spotlighting tracks and artists that embody Black liberation and pride.

Ronee Simone (writer, actress, producer) joins Boom Bap Chronicles! In this episode, we cover a whole gang of ish:

• Aries Spears vs. Ice Cube: Comedian Aries Spears recently dismissed Ice Cube as a lyricist, sparking debates about the essence of lyricism in hip-hop.
  

• Cam'ron's Controversial Statement: Cam'ron told a porn star to "STFU," raising questions about boundaries and respect in the industry.
  

• Curtis Jackson's Family Drama: 50 Cent's ex-girlfriend, Daphne Joy, has been involved in legal disputes with the rapper, including allegations of abuse and a defamation lawsuit.
  

• The Carter VI: Lil Wayne's latest album, Tha Carter VI, has received mixed reviews, with some critics questioning its coherence and creativity.
  

• BET Awards 2025 Preview: The 25th annual BET Awards are set to air live on June 9, 2025, featuring performances by Lil Wayne, Teyana Taylor, GloRilla, and Playboi Carti, with Kendrick Lamar leading the nominations.
  

Join us as we unpack these topics and more, offering insightful commentary on the ever-evolving hip-hop landscape.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the week’s wildest hip hop headlines—starting with Complex’s controversial “Best Rappers from LA” list. How does a list like that drop without 2Pac? We unpack the drama and The Game’s response.

• Next up, Joe Budden is teasing a return to the mic. Is the podcast king ready to reclaim his spot in rap? And more importantly, does the culture even care?

• Then we head to Virginia as The Clipse reunite—sort of. With No Malice going back to just Malice and leaving Def Jam, are we on the verge of a gritty, old-school Clipse comeback? Or is this just another tease?

• Tap in—we’ve got bars, opinions, and all the smoke.
