Another re-upload! The homie Paul tags along for a spirited discussion (and narrative) concerning Omar Gooding's "Overstand Me". The guys also continue to troll the guest with wholesome rap lyrics, which sends them down memory lane for a moment on how they originally met. JaY-z also makes a guest appearance, somehow. Enjoy the madness!

Rest in peace, D'Angelo. The crew at Empty Crates start the podcast with a thoughtful moment of reflection concerning the passing of the musical legend before getting back to the normal shenanigans. The main topic of the podcast is Juicy J's latest jazz foray, "Caught Up In This Illusion" (62:56), but the guys take a detour well before then with a mock-up of the upcoming Versuz match up between No Limit and Cash Money (8:04). The guys also talk Future lawsuits, KevOnStage latest

Lyfe Jennings. Cults. SEC Football. Jermaine Dupri's new album. Giveon's first time at a strip club. Jay Electronica's lies. Lil' Wayne's reference tracks. Black Hippy. Lil' Jon's new hobbies. Fast and Furious being an Anime for Americans. Kid Cudi's "retirement". Chance the Rapper's redemption. And, of course... Magic City wings. And other parts... It all connects, somehow.

Welcome to the Splash Zone! In today's episode of Empty Crates, one of the co-hosts had some life happening, so we subbed in a special guest for the shenanigans. Phrasure brings his own elimination chamber for the best posse cuts (13:08) before getting into the special topics for today's episode... favorite Alabama projects. The guys take time to give roses to Annise Courtney's debut LP, "Rituals" (59:27), Ozu and Akil Pratt's criminally underrated "Akileez Heal"

On today's episode of Empty Crates, the guys finish up their bracket run for 2025 with the hardest one yet. Deciding the best sophomore albums is a tough task (51:14) that may come down to one single moment...and the title of the episode doesn't spoil that in any way, shape, or form, probably. Outside of that, it's more random moments not limited to Gut's adventures in the kitchen, a particular #NotThatPod moment, a Petey Pablo sighting, Missy Elliott blindspot, and much, much more

On today's episode of Empty Crates, the guys fire off another bracket to discuss, starring Eminem. This one was actually more difficult than last week's JAY Z bracket, but we'll let you see why. In addition, the guys give their takes on Freddie Gibbs latest "diss" track, a quick eliminator "1 Gotta Go" with legendary music artists, and a cool follow-up / update from the Brother Ali story a couple episodes ago. Enjoy the episode!

Today's episode of Empty Crates has the guys (and Paul) getting into the spirit of March Madness with the return of the music brackets! Today's tourney analyzes some of the best JAY-Z songs and pits them against each other to determine the "best" (43:27). That's the main pillar, but as always, there's much more to discover, such as a live reaction to Benny The Butcher's latest viral photo, a desperate request for our dedicated listeners, and the origins of the greatest

Welcome back to another content-filled episode of Empty Crates! The main topics for today? The Alchemist, Larry June and 2 Chainz' "Life Is Beautiful" (55:10), and Drake / PARTYNEXTDOOR's "joint" project "$$$4U" (74:03)... but there's a bit more to address with the latter than the former. Gut also takes some time to find out why Baka isn't nice, while ELJAY all but comes apart at the seams when a "worst rapper of all time" list is thrown into

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

Today's episode of Empty Crates has our unofficial third member, Hashim, bringing us one of his favorite albums from Will Smith to review (56:30). There's one problem, however... and the full-time listeners might have an idea what it is beforehand (53:42). Nevertheless, that doesn't stop the show, as the guys address a chaotic elimination chamber (35:44) and an edited music session towards the end that you have to hear to believe.

It's cold outside today, so how about some warm back-and-forth rap banter to keep you warm? Today's main topics on Empty Crates include impressions on Redman's latest album, "Muddy Waters Too" - that's not a typo (75:03) and a revisit to Slum Village's "Fan-Tas-Tic Vol. 2", inspired by an interaction from Episode 47 (52:39). Of course, there's much more to address, including the "meh" Joey Badass verse that inspired some West Coast responses from Ray Vaughn and Daylyt, a Doechii crashout on Azalea

You know, we haven't seen you here since last year! Welcome back to Empty Crates! Jokes aside (never), the guys get right back to catching up on the microphone before hitting the main topics on the docket. First off, Skyzoo shows off his chops as a flawless rapper with his newest release, "Keep Me Company" (69:31). The guys then focus their attention on a different position thanks to Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's "Missionary" (85:11) before giving a rundown on their favorite projects of 2024 (2:04:48)

Samara Cyn's incredible EP that they accidentally renamed (51:57), the worst of the OutKast albums (67:48), and a Billboard article concerning the Top Pop Stars of the 21st Century the guys didn't entirely hate (1:42:15).
