THE YADDA YADDA PODCAST EP. 136
The Yada Yada Podcast Episode 136 features Joe, Nelo, and Sebastian, with Black Hyphy out of town. They discuss a recent successful event in Kansas City called "Heat WAV 816 Day" (1:06), highlighting the large turnout, great performances, and overall positive vibes despite the extreme heat (1:26). Joe, who also DJ'd at the event, shares his experience and satisfaction with his set (2:40).
The conversation then shifts to a recent conflict with Elliot Wilson (8:40), where the podcast team felt disrespected by his actions on social media, leading to them being blocked on various platforms (9:04). They express disappointment that Wilson only interacted with their content when it was critical, despite previous positive mentions.
Later, they discuss a freestyle by Kansas City artist A’Sean (14:41), praising his energy and his message about the lack of genuine support and complacency within the local music scene (16:21). The hosts strongly resonate with A’Sean call for artists to step up their game and stop "crying for support" (19:18).
Finally, they talk about the return of Chance the Rapper and his new album, "Star Line" (25:05), his first in seven years. They mention how the album was inspired by Marcus Garvey and Chance's transformative trip to Ghana, where he learned about African history not taught in American schools (25:31-27:22). The hosts express excitement for Chance's comeback and the positive direction he's taking with his music.
