May 17, 2017

What it dew Trillions! Back again with episode 65 of the Truth Be Told Podcast from Trillmatic.com hosted by Riffa & Bigg UU. Thanks for supporting the podcast! Be sure to leave a 5 star review! 

In this episode, we start off by explaining what we're going to be doing more of on the podcast and Bigg UU explains why he's a fan of Willie The Kid. Be sure to check out Willie The Kid's latest single '24 Hours' featuring Roc Marciano & V Don here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiYmEggHCUI

The Game has announced a new album called 'Westside Story' and what would a West Coast album be without a feature from Kendrick Lamar, which was announced at the same time. So for discussion, we talked about whether or not The Game can hold his own, and drop a successful album with any features. We also discuss if The Game has reached legendary status. Bigg UU also explains why he thinks The Game has so many features on his albums. 

Jay Z recently signed a new deal with popular concert promotion company Live Nation for $200 million for the next 10 years. That would put Jay Z at the old age of 57 years old. We talk about ageism in Hip Hop and what is considered old in this day and age. 

YG has just created the Tip Drill of 2017 when he dropped his new official uncut video. We talk about the video and if it is better than Nelly's 'Tip Drill' video. Please put your kids to bed before playing the visual. We talk about the impact Nelly had with his video and how it's not the same for YG. Just so you know, we appreciate the ignorance. Watch both versions of YG's videos below:

BET Awards have released the nominations and the most interesting category was the female Rap category. With Nicki Minaj, Remy Ma, Young MA, Missy Elliott and Cardi B, is the female rap genre becoming more competitive? We discuss who may come out on top with the crown this year. We also explain why wack rappers are winning on the internet today and how you hating on them increases their status. 

50 Cent, Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover and Tyler the Creator are bossing the TV landscape with 50 Cent's show 'POWER' the 2nd watched show on premium cable behind Game of Thrones, Donald Glover doing a Deadpool cartoon and Tyler getting a VICELAND show. 

We also talk about The Clipse' most important track of all time with 'Grindin' and how it's been around for so long. We talked about Pharrell changing the game.
