Dead End Hip Hop

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.

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. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.
