the BASSLINE podcast ep 296 "Wh*res in Cars Getting Coffee"

Episode 296 is one of those episodes where the real conversation keeps finding its way to the surface. C0pp0 and Young Mitchell dig into J. Cole's seemingly endless interview run and ask the uncomfortable question: why is he talking about everything except the music? From there, Jay-Z's GQ interview opens up a genuine debate about whether rap beef should still exist in 2026 — and whether there's even a difference between beef and a battle anymore. Tiger Woods flips another car, Chance the Rapper wins $35 after a full trial against former manager, LaRussell's mom organized a rally that LaRussell didn't attend, and MITMonday brings The Musalini x Smoke DZA x John Dutch's Uptown Saturday Night into the rotation. DMV locals, Jazz & Blossoms at Franklin Park on April 12th — free, family-friendly, Oddisee headlining.
