Ray Daniels goes off on the Pooh Shiesty video evidence and what Gucci Mane actually did in that room, Lil Wayne saying he would embarrass anybody in a Verzuz, and 50 Cent going quiet while Akademiks trolls him. T-Mac, Mickey Facts, Don P and Silk So Smart are in the building.
It opens with India.Arie and Nikki Gilbert going at Yung Miami over Spend That, a record Verse Simmons wrote over a Jay White track. Ray says India.Arie is mad at the culture, not at Miami, and you can't get snubbed for years then snub somebody else. Don P tells the story of Spelman boycotting his record over a bed squeak.
BET Awards recap: Druski as this generation's Dave Chappelle, the Lauryn Hill tribute, Lizzo, Louis Carr, Kendrick winning over Don Toliver, and the saxophone gag on SZA and Doechii that got Punch tweeting. Then Lil Wayne on Gangster Grills, and Ray's four who could beat him - Jay-Z, Kanye, Drake and Future. Lollipop, A Milli, She Will, 6 Foot 7 Foot, and the Billboard numbers against Pluto.
50 Cent, Daphne Joy, and the report that Charlamagne invested in Jay-Z's casino. Then the Pooh Shiesty footage off Big30's phone - Ray blames the parents, Charleston White, the old Suge Knight and J Prince stories, and cameras. The Yo Gotti angle: Memphis, Three 6 Mafia, Big Scar's funeral, Young Dolph. Megan Thee Stallion and 1501 was the right way out. Plus the XXL Freshman list, 2 Chainz and Usher outworking bad deals, and Don P putting a light on Infamous.
