Episode 34 - We're Dumbasses (Feat. @TuckNYC)

2BELTZ — Sun, 01 Nov 2015 12:44:52 -0500

Don't blink, because you might miss it. In an epic botch, we brought Tuck back not only to talk about the latest news of the week -- but to talk the world of wrestling post Hell in a Cell. Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, the show was lost and we all looked like idiots nearly 90 minutes. No fear! There is an actual episode. Fresh off the iPhone as we were leaving the studio, we whipped out the iPhone to talk about exactly what happened, how it happened, why it happened -- and everything we talked about on the episode including the return of Jadakiss, Adele smashing everything in sight, Ja Rule's terrible Follow The Rules television show, whether Charli Baltimore is a good looking female rapper, and a ton of other things. Another bonus features Carlos & Jameel, live from the gutter (A Train), talking random stuff. Fun episode. Once again, sorry for the technical difficulties. Catch an old episode or something.

Then, the opening of the new Chick Fil-A in New York, which has sent the city into a chicken fried frenzy (including Meelz). We keep the music section short with only one major release this week from Game with The Documentary 2, which features a slew of features including Kendrick Lamar, Diddy, Ab-Soul, Future, Dej Loaf & more. The latter half of this podcast is a good one if you're from New York City. We power rank the five boroughs from the criteria of: Rappers (that were born there), Projects/Delis, Women, Style, and the Nightlife. Did your borough make number one? Statistically, probably not. But it's a fun debate that we bring in Flash & DJ Killzz from Bare Canvas Sounds on. Also, please excuse our terrible Macho Man impressions at the beginning. Even though it was hilarious.

We also touch on Fetty Wap's debut album, wondering if the world is starting to get fed up of Fetty Wap, Bryson Tiller's debut to the world, and Disclosure's newest project Caracal. Somehow we lead to the conversation of the most sus R&B groups of all time, with both B2K & Pretty Ricky leading the bunch. It's a fun episode!

2BELTZ — Sun, 06 Sep 2015 19:48:27 -0400

Carlos is back! But not only is Carlos back, but Jimmy's back. For those who have been wondering why Carlos was missing from last week's podcast, the absolute truth is here before your eyes in what led Carlos to go missing 30 minutes before we were supposed to record our podcast. With that, Jimmy -- our third member of the Migos, has finally returned for another episodes and it goes wildly off of our initial tangent. We review Travis Scott's new album #RODEO and Rick Ross' #BlackDollar mixtape, but the conversation spills into a discussion about the state of hip hop, the authenticity of lyricism, and who has delivered and who hasn't delivered in the past year. Forget a structure podcast, this is really a conversation between three highly passionate hip hop heads about where music's heading as we hit the fourth quarter of 2015.

2BELTZ — Sun, 30 Aug 2015 11:22:18 -0400

Jay Rock's album release strategy for his 90059 album in which the album release date will be determined by the fans. However, this podcast really belongs to breaking down Kanye West's Late Registration, 10 years later.

Music journalist Justin Davis (@OGJOHNNY5) is our guest this week on the #2BELTZ Podcast and we talk about him making the decision to move out west for his career, his notable interview with Young Thug for Complex, and the slew of new music he's listening to. He also doesn't hold back on his opinions on the Meek Mill and Drake rivalry, opting to sit Indian-style and shoot on this beef that ends with the bold phrase, "Rap is a work. Rap is a fucking work." We also talk about Migos' disappointing first week sales and we review Dr. Dre's COMPTON and the lack of west coast presence on it. As a special bonus to the fans (and the reason why this podcast has extended past the hour mark), we plot out the road post-Summerslam and touch on NXT Takeover: Brooklyn, Roman Reigns, Undertaker/Brock, WWE Championship picture, and the Divas Revolution.

2BELTZ — Sun, 09 Aug 2015 18:42:40 -0400

2BELTZ Podcast - 015 - Smoking Penises

2BELTZ — Sun, 21 Jun 2015 19:34:45 -0400

*Note: I wrote a great description for this episode, and then my sister plugged in the iron and all the lights went out. So yeah, if it's sucky it's because I half-assed this attempted. What an incredibly dry week for music news. No major surprise releases, not even any major announcement or music drops. This week's #2BELTZ Podcast recaps the #HouseOfVans x PUSHA T even that took place last weekend featuring sets from DJ Envy and Vince Staples. We also touch on the NBA Finals, whether the internet is killing social interaction, Lil Wayne's Free Weezy Album (briefly) and the hilarity of the phrase, "smoking penises". Another episode in the books folks!

It's over an hour long because we literally had sooooo much to talk, but its a lot of entertaining talk.

Hear us talk about the first time we've ever seen a boob in real life. We also run through the recent releases from Florence + The Machine ("How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful"), Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment ("SURF"), and Dom Kennedy ("By Dom Kennedy"). XXL Magazine revealed their freshman cover this week and we touch on each artist and their possibility for being a major breakout star and the omissions of Young Thug, PartyNextDoor, Makkonen & more. We cap off with a discussion on independent artists who are still on the rise and tips to reach the next level. It's a great, full podcast. Enjoy.

2BELTZ Podcast - Bonus 003 - The Road to Summerslam (f/ @TuckNYC)

2BELTZ — Sat, 06 Jun 2015 17:56:27 -0400

BONUS EPISODE TIME. After some (minor) demand, we've decided to record another wrestling-related episode to bring ourselves up to speed with everything that occurred in the post-Wrestlemania world of wrestling. Sorry if it sounds a bit rush, but we had a limited time to pull off an seemingly unlimited set of topics. With us in the studio is artist Tuck (@TuckNYC) to provide insight into everything that's happened including the Payback main event that spilled over to the Elimination Chamber main event, the battle between Kevin Owens and the world and his major win over John Cena last Sunday, the status of TNA and ROH, and Samoa Joe's arrival to the WWE. We also predict the main event to this year's Summerslam event which will be taking place in Brooklyn, NY this year. Enjoy and look out for episode 13 of the 2BELTZ podcast tomorrow afternoon.

2BELTZ Podcast - 012 - The Based God Curse (Feat. Nazdaq)

2BELTZ — Sun, 31 May 2015 16:48:08 -0400

Episode 12 brings on one of our more impromptu guests ever: Nazdaq. He was literally in the other room listening to the mixes of the tracks from his upcoming project, and we pulled him in to join us on our podcast. This episode, we break down our worst barbershop experiences including one that happened most recently to Meelz and then a full fleshed out review on A$AP Rocky's A.LL.A (At Long Last ASAP) album -- which is in stores right now. Nazdaq also introduces himself and gives us a taste of what to expect from his upcoming project, Easy Jesus -- which is set to drop later this year, and provides his commentary on the current landscape of the NBA and Lil B's curse which (for all intents and purposes) blocked James Harden from reaching the NBA Finals.

2BELTZ Podcast - 011 - Three A-Migos (Feat. Jimmy)

2BELTZ — Sun, 24 May 2015 15:04:27 -0400

He's gotta be the third man! Small bonus, initially 2BELTZ was supposed to be a three man booth -- but it never worked out getting Jimmy locked in. THEN, he was supposed to be our first guest many moons ago, once again -- never worked out. Finally, we managed to drag Jimmy into the studio to record this podcast and all it took was a free JAY Z concert. Last week Saturday, Jimmy and Jameel hit up the JAY Z x TIDAL - B-Sides concert and we have a complete live recap of everything that occurred from the insanely long line, to the 40 songs he performed, and it somehow spills into a discussion about Nas & JAY Z. We also cover this week artists who should give it up due to their age and lack of relevance at this point, the Dragon Ball Z movie (how'd that happen), Beyonce and Nicki Minaj's "Feeling Myself" video, and the Sony/Spotify leaks. It's an incredibly dope episode with the three Migos back together again (Jimmy's Takeoff).

And more. Also, we briefly touch on French Montana's latest mixtape Casino Life 2, and just our overall thoughts on him as an artist.

2BELTZ — Sun, 10 May 2015 19:39:16 -0400

We give a formal review of Snoop Dogg's latest album Bush which drops on May 12th, as well as talk about the current landscape of pop music that borrows so heavily from the past (with Pharrell and Bruno Mars as it's main offenders). Chloé, in all her frenchness, explains the origin of Fetty Wap's name as we talk about his incredible week (#2 song in the country, new record with Drake). We also discuss a few candidates for song of the summer, Pusha T allegedly cutting off his signature locks, and a ton of other topics that are brought up by nature of flying off all types of tangents.

2BELTZ — Sun, 19 Apr 2015 15:52:30 -0400

After two weeks of not knowing, we've decided to officially call ourselves the #2BELTZ podcast...because we are the tag team champions of this podcasting thing. And we love 2 Chainz. In episode 3, we review the albums of Action Bronson, Earl Sweatshirt, & Future, talk about the Skeme/Iggy Azalea controversy and what that means for Tinashe, and preview our expectations for Wale & Ludacris' new albums. Week 3, still funny.
