Maybe Mainstream Ain't Too Bad , The Peaks of Hip-Hop Media , GrandMEGAChurch Extraveganza

THIS TIME : The Minute Crew go mainstream ! Mark this moment , June 3rd 2026 at 2pm GBT , as the moment KOSEY officially apologises to J.Cole as she realises just how much of a beautiful space mainstream music has in her life. Underground Hip-Hop's adversarial relationship with the mainstream has gone too far , and she's here to put an end to it ! But can a mere Underground Hip-Hop podcast do such a thing? In the eyes of TREDOES , maybe they can't, as he asks what the ceiling of Hip-Hop media can even be , considering the decline of legendary channels such as Dead End Hip-Hop. Finally , MEGA does ... uhhh ... A really good Steve Harvey impression ? Ima be real , folks , that last topic is hilarious and disorientating BLUR but the image may just get clearer on this episode of ...

The Role of a Rapper ... , Schrodinger's White Fan , Separating the Art from The Artist

THIS TIME : The Minute Crew get existential !! After relistening to Billy Woods' verse on Dogeared, KOSEY is questioning the role of rap in times like these. What purpose does rap serve? I Rap therefore I am ?? After that, TREDOES asks why it is that as soon as a rapper gets a lil bit weird with it, the white fanbase accusations come chasin !! Black artists making art being labelled as music for white folk really is kinda strange, and we aim to get to the bottom of it. Finally, MEGA, per viewer request, inquires whether separating the art from the artist is possible or even necessary. Should you stop listening to someone's music as soon as they post a tweet that sucks ? or Should we ignore every awful thing done by the people we might support ? There's a nuanced middle ground to be found on this episode of ...
