#31: Top Dawg Exodus

For this episode of the show, we talk about Kendrick Lamar's recent announcement that he was leaving his long time label Top Dawg Entertainment after his next full length album. The marauders ask what is Kendrick's next move after he drops his album and then wonder if the label will still be strong without Kendrick? Next up, we speak on a potential TDE vs. Dreamville Verzuz battle after Dreamville label rapper Bas appearing on a Power 106 radio interview in LA and speaking about who the label should face if a Verzuz battle were able to happen. After that, with Lil Nas X having the best year of his career, he had a lot to say about skateboarding god Tony Hawk using his own blood to be mixed in with paint to sell future skateboards after calling him out due to Lil Nas X using the same tactic to sell shoes a few months ago (See Episode 21). We ask if Lil Nas X is right to call out Tony Hawk for using that same ploy and if people should be outraged on Tony Hawk using blood for skateboards. Later on, we had news on Drake reportedly dropping Certified Lover Boy on September 3 due to "feed interference" during Friday morning's (August 27) episode of ESPN's Sportscenter. With his last album Scorpion getting subpar reviews from fans and critics alike, we ask if Drake's next album is do or die especially considering since he is one of the best in the game today and is one of the highest selling rappers today. All that plus, we rank diss tracks, we give shoutouts and a whole lot more!
