Episode 89 | "Trans Paren Sea" (DJXP feat. Trivelle Simpson & EverythingOShauN)
from You Might Wanna Sit Down 4 This · host Spoke Podcast Network
The gang kicks things off with a deep dive into Drake’s “What Did I Miss” release and the surprise livestream that took over downtown Toronto (Dundas Square, now renamed “Sankofa”). They break down the song, the stream, the rollout strategy, the subject matter, and public reaction. From there they jump to T-Pain’s recent comments about policing artistry and the idea of an artist's exit plan from music. DJXP brings up two documentaries, one on the legendary Sly & The Family Stone, and the other on The Beach Boys, to explore how rare it is for artists to maintain the social relevance Drake still has. This leads to a full-on conversation about longevity in music. The crew discusses the blog era (Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, Meek Mill, Cole, Kendrick, Drake, etc.) and what caused some artists to lose momentum while others stayed hot. From there a T.I. vs 50 Cent tangent sparks up, followed by a quick update on Toronto’s new Rogers Stadium, where Coldplay is set to do four sold-out shows back to back. Later DJXP brings a funny and unexpected list of “Scary Songs” found online. The crew debates which songs were actually eerie and which ones made no sense on the list (like Marvin Gaye). This leads into a Prince vs MJ moment as Purple Rain enters the discussion. After a spontaneous Thong Song drop by OShauN, the crew dives into What These Btches Want* and the revelation that there was an original version without Sisqó. That opens the floor for a convo about songs that were already perfect before the feature or had features that maybe weren’t even needed. Then comes a relationship discussion sparked by Nigerian music mogul Don Jazzy, who admits he doesn’t have the strength to be with just one woman. The team analyzes the statement, questioning whether it's honest self-awareness or a front for polygamy and whether women actually prefer that kind of transparency. The pod wraps up with some final thoughts on the Diddy case and the conclusions from the most recent rulings.
