In his latest appearance on The Breakfast Club, Dame Dash delivers a fiery response to Charlamagne Tha God, rejecting claims that he’s “broke,” defending his worth, and going on the attack questioning Charlamagne’s masculinity and even accusing him of being gay over his ties (or lack thereof) with Jay-Z.

In this superchat convo we were asked to list songs that represent the sound of each coast in hip hop. Instead of just focusing on East and West we decided to expand the discussion and highlight the South and Midwest as well. Each region has its own history and signature style that can be captured in certain tracks and we had a great time debating which ones stand out the most. From the raw lyricism of the East to the smooth bounce of the West, from the soul driven Midwest to the trunk rattling South, we dug into the tracks that showcase the heart of each movement.

Joey Bada$$ has returned with his latest project Lonely at the Top and we are diving deep into everything it brings to the table. Known for his sharp lyricism, nostalgia soaked boom bap production choices, and his ability to balance classic New York energy with modern sounds, Joey is one of the few artists who can bridge eras of hip hop in a natural way. With this new release, he seems to be reflecting on the cost of success, personal growth, and what it means to carry the weight of expectations while carving out his own legacy. In this review we break down the production, the themes, and Joey’s performance across the tracklist. We talk about the stand out cuts, moments that showcase his pen at its sharpest, and whether the album reaches the highs fans expect after 2000 and his earlier mixtape run. We also get into how Lonely at the Top stacks up against not only his own catalog but also the broader landscape of hip hop in 2025. Let us know what you think about the project in the comments. Do you feel like Joey pushed himself creatively here or do you think he stayed too close to his comfort zone.

In this superchat from DonaldVann, we dig into a fun but tricky topic: songs that we absolutely love but also feature some of the worst verses from a particular artist. We all know those tracks where the beat, hook, or main verses are incredible, but then a feature or guest spot brings the energy down. These verses weren’t enough to ruin the whole song, but when we look back, they definitely stand out as weak links. From hip hop classics to more recent tracks, we share our picks and debate whether a bad verse can still live on a great song. Want to throw your picks in the mix?

In this Superchat Mailbag we tackled not one but two heavy questions from the community. Beezy circled back to answer a ranking superchat that came in during a previous mailbag and then the crew locked in on a brand new one. The question was simple but wild to think about: if you had to completely erase one hip hop album and its impact from history which one would it be As always the conversation went deep because removing a project from the timeline changes more than just the music it touches the culture the influence and the artists who came after. Let us know in the comments how you would have answered because we know this one is going to stir up some debate.

Ghostface Killah has returned with Supreme Clientele 2, a project fans have been anticipating for years. As the follow up to his 2000 classic Supreme Clientele, expectations could not be higher. The original solidified Ghost as one of the most inventive storytellers and stylists in hip hop and it remains a staple not just in his discography but in the Wu Tang legacy as a whole. In this review we break down whether Ghost was able to live up to the pressure of revisiting such a monumental title. We dive into the production across the album, the features that show up, and the moments where Ghost’s sharp lyricism and colorful imagery shine the brightest. We also take a critical look at how the album balances nostalgia with progression, asking if it feels like a natural continuation of Supreme Clientele or more of a tribute to what made that album special in the first place. This is a conversation hip hop heads will not want to miss, especially those who remember the impact of the original.

In this superchat conversation we tackle a question that cuts right to the heart of hip hop culture. One of our viewers asked if any albums from the 2020s so far truly deserve the legendary 5 Mics stamp that The Source Magazine used to hand out. For those who remember, 5 Mics wasn’t just a rating, it was a badge of honor that represented the highest level of artistry, cultural impact, and replay value an album could have. Only a handful of projects in hip hop history ever earned that status and they are still debated to this day. So what about the 2020s. With so much music dropping every week and the way hip hop has shifted in sound, style, and accessibility, does the 5 Mics standard still even apply. We go back and forth on the albums that stood out to us in this new decade, the projects that felt like instant classics, and what it actually takes for an album today to live up to that historical benchmark. From mainstream releases to underground gems, we break down which records have the potential to be remembered as elite contributions to the culture. Join the discussion and drop your thoughts in the comments. Which hip hop albums from the 2020s would you put in that 5 Mic category. Which ones feel like they’ll stand the test of time. We want to know what you consider classic level material in this era. #HipHop #DeadEndHipHop #AlbumReview #Superchat #5Mics Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwNzLpk33dblyY2Gg-SyPxw/join Dead End Hip Hop Merch Shop: https://deadendmedia.myspreadshop.com Find all things Dead End Hip Hop here: https://linktr.ee/deadendhiphop SUBSCRIBE to our second channel, Is The Mic Still On: https://www.youtube.com/isthemicstillon IS THE MIC STILL ON PODCAST: SUBSCRIBE on iTunes: http://apple.co/2oJIzZb Follow The Crew: Follow Modest Media: @IamModestMedia Follow Beezy: @Beezy430 Follow Ken: @KennithBInge Follow Feefo: @Feefo247 Follow Myke C-Town: @MykeCTown Follow Sophie: @SayItAintSoph About Dead End Hip Hop: No scripts.

We are back with another Chance the Rapper review, this time diving into his new album STAR LINE. It has been five years since The Big Day dropped in 2019 which we also reviewed at the time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW346QizEbs). Like many listeners we were not feeling that project and it left a lot of people wondering what direction Chance would take next. With all that time passing there has been plenty of anticipation to see if Chance could bounce back with something stronger. On STAR LINE he brings a new set of sounds and themes that show where he is at musically right now. The big question is whether this album is the comeback people have been waiting on or if he is still chasing the spark that made him stand out early in his career. Let’s get into it. #ChanceTheRapper #StarLine #HipHop #AlbumReview #DEHH Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwNzLpk33dblyY2Gg-SyPxw/join Dead End Hip Hop Merch Shop: https://deadendmedia.myspreadshop.com Find all things Dead End Hip Hop here: https://linktr.ee/deadendhiphop SUBSCRIBE to our second channel, Is The Mic Still On: https://www.youtube.com/isthemicstillon IS THE MIC STILL ON PODCAST: SUBSCRIBE on iTunes: http://apple.co/2oJIzZb Follow The Crew: Follow Modest Media: @IamModestMedia Follow Beezy: @Beezy430 Follow Ken: @KennithBInge Follow Feefo: @Feefo247 Follow Myke C-Town: @MykeCTown Follow Sophie: @SayItAintSoph About Dead End Hip Hop: No scripts.

We discuss the latest twist in Drake’s ongoing lawsuit against UMG, where he’s seeking documents about alleged domestic violence claims against Kendrick Lamar and private communications between Lamar and TDE’s Dave Free about Lamar’s children—moves seemingly aimed at reinforcing the accusations Drake made in his 2024 track Family Matters.

In this Superchat conversation we took on the ultimate challenge of putting four classic Outkast albums up against all four Run The Jewels albums and ranking them together in one combined matchup. Each member came in with their own personal ranking list, so you’ll see where our opinions line up and where they clash. From timeless Southern hip hop landmarks to the hard-hitting RTJ catalog, we broke down what makes each project stand out and where they stack up against each other. There were plenty of surprises, disagreements, and moments that might have you yelling at your screen. If you ever send in a Superchat during a live stream and we don’t get to your question or topic on the spot, it can still turn into a full conversation like the one you are watching right now.

In Part 2 of our 7 Levels of Rapper Conversation we used Duplee’s original criteria to put together our own list. Each of us brought 2 rappers for every level with the goal of naming artists who weren’t mentioned in his video. Things definitely got interesting as we debated where certain names belong and what it really means to master all 7 levels. Let us know if you agree with the names we added and make sure to add your own down below! Shout out to Duplee for creating this concept and breaking it down so well. Check out his original video here: https://youtu.be/C1f8_-8GU7I?si=uLxktjFOmwQtf3MF If you missed our first conversation about the 7 Levels of Rapper you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/mfH2Y_3T8oE #HipHop #RapDiscussion #DeadEndHipHop Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwNzLpk33dblyY2Gg-SyPxw/join Dead End Hip Hop Merch Shop: https://deadendmedia.myspreadshop.com Find all things Dead End Hip Hop here: https://linktr.ee/deadendhiphop SUBSCRIBE to our second channel, Is The Mic Still On: https://www.youtube.com/isthemicstillon IS THE MIC STILL ON PODCAST: SUBSCRIBE on iTunes: http://apple.co/2oJIzZb Follow The Crew: Follow Modest Media: @IamModestMedia Follow Beezy: @Beezy430 Follow Ken: @KennithBInge Follow Feefo: @Feefo247 Follow Myke C-Town: @MykeCTown Follow Sophie: @SayItAintSoph About Dead End Hip Hop: No scripts.

We watched the viral 7 Levels of Rapper video and it turned into a classic Dead End Hip Hop moment. What started as a reaction quickly turned into a full-blown debate, especially when Rod and FeeFo clashed over what it really takes to be Level 7. We broke down each level, called out where we think the video got it right and wrong, and even started tossing out names of rappers we feel got left off entirely. This convo had old school DEHH energy written all over it. Should we run it back with a part 2 and do our own 7 Levels tier list? Let us know in the comments. #DEHH #7LevelsOfRapper #HipHopDebate #RodVsFeeFo #RapTiers #DeadEndConversation Learn more about your ad choices.

After XXL posted a clip of Metro Boomin saying music needs to go back to being regional, it sparked a convo we couldn't ignore. In the video, Metro reflects on how social media made everything feel the same. How sounds, styles, and even slang are getting blended to the point where you can’t tell where anything’s from anymore. So we had a real DEHH style discussion about it. Is Metro right Has music lost its regional identity And does his new mixtape A Futuristic Summa actually bring that feeling back Pull up as we unpack the video, reflect on how regions used to shape hip hop from Atlanta to NY to LA to the Midwest and ask whether the game can ever really go back Let us know in the chat if Metro is just reminiscing or if this is the wake up call hip hop needs Learn more about your ad choices.
