About this episode

The episode features a chaotic discussion on various music topics including TLC's album and notable beefs in the industry.

There's a special brand of chaos that you can only get when friends forget the microphone is on, and that's the best way to explain this week's episode of Empty Crates. The guys do a quick elimination round featuring five great Hip-Hop/R&B collaborations (57:47) before diving into the album of the day- TLC's "CrazySexyCool" (64:44). As always, those are the main topics but the episode contains much more, such as the guys addressing the 50 Cent vs T.I. beef and the regional biases that still exist in music, Game being added to Mt. Capathon alongside Lupe Fiasco, Ron Browz' production resurgence, and TLC turning down CLASSIC songs you may not know was associated with them. Bring some snacks and lock in with us! Heads up, all of the episodes are now on YouTube! Search for "EmptyCratesPod" and give us a sub!
