Styles on Tax Season.
Wonder if this was recorded before he lost his daughter.
Probably, it doesn't say anything about it in the description

It's after his daughter passed. They touch on it towards the end of the episode. Really good episode towards the end.

Yo I pictured that in my head. 
and that Made Men story, I pictured Sheek running down the hall way like the Hulk
and yeah dust is a YO thing. I remember a friend of mines kids dad was a dust head, and we were wondering why they were in to dust like that.
That was a cool interview
I agree with Styles on Meek. Meek made Drake the underdog. And the constant bragging about material possessions. It doesn't inspire other people. It makes you food and causes jealousy. Meek was winning because people perceived him as the underdog and because he repped the struggle. That's why I like old Meek. That's why Joe was right, Meek acts like he never had money or girls. Nobody wants to hear you bragging all the time.
And Tax is right about how Meek needs to read more.
The Joe Budden interview was cool too. Didn't know YesJuelz was white with that ***. He did try to get with her on the sly The Esther questions.
Combat was better than I expected.
It's cool that Rap Radar now has a podcast with Juan Epstein's decline. Especially if they deal with the younger artist. I hate Elliott's laugh though.

Tax did, Styles seemed fine about it. He knows it's a phase thing.
I think he's more disturbed by bad rap. That's why he said how many of them do you remember.

Tax is the only podcast worth listening to now IMO. Especially when he gets some hood NY cats in there.
P, Desus and Mero and Bleek. Those are the last 3 episodes...and he seems to be hitting his stride, espcilally when the dark liquor kicks in.
Would love to hear Cam or Jim Jones on there so they could trade early 00's NYC or gangbanging stories or some **** lol.

Didn't sound salty at all to me. He said basically it's in the west coast and in my opinion its been that way for a while now. Loving what the west coast has been doing, making good music.

I think he means mustard beats. And the West is definitely having a resurgence.....But let's be real, Atl is the hot spot, and the current Mecca of hip hop.
It's crazy how the hit songs travel from the south on up. Like you'd hear a song in Atl club at least 2 months before it gets up top. Used to be the other way around.
50 was in Atl this past weekend working on Street Kings Imortal. His producers are Zaytoven, Sonny Digiital, Metro Boomin and TM 88 lol.

50 said in some interview I heard he was going back to redo the producers he had because Street King was out dated and three years old, and he was going for Southern producers. 50 is trying hard to remain relevant musically.

Would not say the Mecca at all. It's just were hot songs are being produced currently. When Bobby S. dropped "Hot N##@"
that completely took over the US. It's just ATL constantly drops song serious beats, your just witnessing the power of producers
kinda working together and not really beefing to make hot beats.
NY hip-hop hasn't adapted to the change in hip-hop and just chooses to bite ATL. The artist that have strong singles coming from
NY don't have strong lyrics, which is a shame. Who would have ever co-signed a dude with fake dreds back in 00' let alone the 90's.

New York co-signed Fetty? New York DJ's don't break artist anymore, much less one from Jersey. They just play what's popular along with the rest of the country.
New York forgot how to make songs for the radio/club. The producers in New York are the problem. In the 90's you had RZA, Pete Rock, Premo, DITC... Because that's what New York rap was, a head nod, not dancing. Most people just poasted up in clubs. Besides The Hitmen no New York based producers were consistently making music for the radio and clubs. The next generation of New York producer isn't there, other than the ones doing 90's type stuff. And because of violence in the 90's, New York doesn't have really have popular hood clubs anymore. They're more upscale. Atlanta's music comes from the strip club culture. Even the strip clubs try to copy what's in Atlanta and Miami. A lot of them won't even hire really black girls, but try to appeal to us though. New York is a mess. New York has no identity anymore. And with the internet and everything being closer, I don't expect it to be any different.
It's a different world, and music will no longer be regional.
Regarding 50
I just wonder how the producers are going to deal with him. 50 is cold musically, but his music gets played on a popular show. They might appreciate the look instead of hitting him over the head. Still, producers don't get close to what they used to.
It's funny how he's changed though. At first he wasn't concerned about working with the best producers, which IMO is one of the reasons he got cold. Yeah no names did I Get Money, but they also are responsible for a lot of flops.

Face interview finally up. I know this is about to be entertaining.
20 mins in and I'm rolling. Now I get why Face never really did interviews. Dude's gonna get himself in trouble.

Interviews are super predictable, said artist does the rounds on all local media outlets expect the artist
to be on the Combat Jack show. Kinda appreciate that other outlet for not picking every artist they get in
the studio to do a podcast. I guess that's why the podcast game has a "life cycle" when only dealing with
"entertainment" artist.

Yeah, from Rap Radar they were supposed to have the same Jay Rock "nahmean" interview everyone else got.
Now they have the same French interview.
So it's like now you can count on guys to be on TBC, Hot 97, Sway...
Combat and Juan Epstein always threw a monkey wrench in that.
I see Rap Radar is pretty much going to be the norm.
