Episode 323 | Fragile Opp

MUSTAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDD. Have yall heard the album yet? We have. After a quick recap about the Atlanta show, the guys get into their review of the new Kendrick Lamar project ‘GNX’ (07:54). They also discuss whether there’s another album coming, why we think Baby Keem isnt on the album, as well as whether Lil Wayne should respond or not. In the middle of our recording day, the news dropped that Drake was filing a motion against his licensing partner Universal Music Group, alleging that Kendrick’s Not Like Us track was pushed by the label purposely to affect Drake in multiple ways (55:59). The team goes into explaining the article and allegations, and they also speak on what this could mean for the music industry in the future. Drake also went on a stream earlier this weekend, doubling down on his beef with a few r&b artists, and it brings up conversation about the media outlets Drake chooses to sit with and the criticism he’s received in the past for it (1:12:06). Also discussed: Shaboozey getting snubbed by the CMA’s (1:31:36), which NRM team member is the meanest, and the ozempic allegations being put on Lizzo (1:35:19). We have voicemails! The first one is from a guy who has developed a health condition in his mid twenties that he's embarrassed about (1:51:31), and the second is from a man who wants to know if anybody on the team has ever had a “right person, wrong time” scenario (2:02:07).For MORE Rory & Mal, make sure you subscribe to our Patreon community, for exclusive episodes, first access to tickets and merch sales, private live chats with the team, + more! https://www.patreon.com/newrorynmalFollow Rory: @ThisIsRoryFollow MAL: @MAL_ByTheWayFollow Julian: @Julian__nicholasFollow Demaris on YT: https://www.youtube.com/@DemarisG To watch the podcast on YouTube: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMALYouTube Don’t forget to follow the podcast for free wherever you're listening or by using this link: https://bit.ly/NewRoryAndMAL Learn more about your ad choices.
