Grind Academy (Episode 50 | feat. Hashim and TwentyEight Flavors)

Episode 50! It's a milestone that we don't take lightly here at Empty Crates, and the guys decide to hit FULL SEND on the chaos by inviting Hashim and TwentyEight Flavors back on the show to celebrate and talk music. Outside of checking on LJ and Latto's (imaginary) status and Gut's disinterest in Kanye West's upcoming album made with "handchopped beats", the guys take time to truly dive into the latest posthumous release from Mac Miller, which brings out varying degrees of opinions from the roundtable (71:05). There's also a random deep dive into the Bring It On movie franchise, a retroactive review of Will Smith's "Born To Reign" (since someone messed up last time), and thoughts on the sickos speedrunning the old-school Lion King game, but that's only touching the tip of the iceberg for this minimally edited, two and a half-hour pod that's full of jokes and fake rap beef among friends. Enjoy today's episode, and let us know your favorite parts!
