This week was…interesting. For like 5 seconds, we discuss El Chapo‘s capturing, the Golden Globes and BBOD, but Joey and Rory spent most of the episode in a pointless debate of Bryson Tiller vs Tory Lanez.

Smack White x Jae Millz

Growing up in the Smack DVD era, my favorite battle of all time was Jae Millz vs. Murda Mook on 125th St. in Harlem.
