Bad For The Community

This week on Bad For The Community, we’re joined by Yanna G, a rising star in Boston's music scene returning one year after her debut appearance! We caught up on everything that’s changed since—her growth as an artist and person, the creation of 'On Everything I Love Vol. 2', and the stories behind her collaborations and visuals for singles like “My Name” and “Slow Dance.”Yanna also opened up about the meaning behind her outro “I Promise,” reflecting on her journey from hoop dreams to pursuing her true passion in music. And of course, we had to react to the recently announced nominations for the Boston Music Awards 2025! Yanna G and co-host Nahli are both up for R&B Artist of the Year, and Bad For The Community earned its third straight nomination for Music Podcast of the Year.Time Stamps:0:00 - Intro/ Certain music just hits harder in the winter6:00 - What's changed with Yanna G since "On Every I Love Vol. I"?11:00 - Yanna on her favorite collaborations from the project16:30 - Yanna reflecting on her listening party/ Letting go of basketball26:30 - Yanna on the visuals for "My Name" and "Slow Dance"34:30 - Our reactions to the Boston Music Awards 2025 nominations1:12:45 - What keeps Yanna G grounded?/ What's coming next?1:22:55 - Yanna on going direct-to-consumer and delaying streaming release1:25:00 - Are the next generation of kids cooked?/ Twitch vs cartoons1:34:00 - OutroFind us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.BadForTheCommunity.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter/X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok

Last time we spoke, Clark had just moved to Atlanta to chase his dreams as a musician and engineer.

We've got a lot of new music and topics to get to this week, things are starting to heat up! Before we get into any of that... this episode was actually live streamed this past Friday. Starting with this week's episode, we're going to be going live every Friday night. So make sure to tap in with us on YouTube and join the conversation in real time! On this week's episode, we kicked things off by grilling Nate for his recent appearance on another local podcast, CWTFB Radio; and reacted to Charlie Masheen's scathing comments toward friend of the show, SeeFour. We also shared our thoughts on the latest album releases, including Tyler the Creator's 'Don't Tap the Glass', Freddie Gibb's 'Alfredo 2', and Metro Boomin's 'A Futuristic Summa'.We later reacted to the sign-up bonuses and student loan relief ICE is reportedly offering new hires and jokingly asked ourselves what it would take for us to join. We revisited a topic from one of our viral clips discussing if $100k is enough to quit your 9-5 forever. We then reacted to a recent Twitter trend of "gayest" things a man can do, before diving into more serious concerns regarding the famine and unacceptable living conditions Palestinians in Gaza are facing.Time Stamps:0:00 - Intro/ Nate’s appearance on CWTFB Radio/ Charlie Masheen vs SeeFour14:00 - Tyler the Creator - 'Don't Tap the Glass' 24:00 - Are we excited for a new Chance the Rapper album?34:00 - Freddie Gibbs x Alchemist - 'Alfredo 2'44:50 - Metro Boomin - 'A Futuristic Summa'57:30 - ICE offering sign-up bonuses and student loan relief to new hires1:07:50 - Would you quit your job and be an entrepreneur for $100k? 1:27:15 - Gayest things you can do as a man, according to Twitter1:35:00 - Humanitarian crisis in Gaza/ Palestinian people suffering from famine1:50:00 - Outro/ Are WE bad for the community?!Find us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.BadForTheCommunity.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter/X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok

In this clip, we react to Robert Griffin III (RGIII) reposting a racist photoshopped image that replaced Angel Reese with a monkey on a fake NBA 2K26 WNBA Edition cover. The image was originally created by a random Twitter troll, but RGIII — instead of ignoring it — decided to repost it to his massive platform under the guise of "denouncing racism."But instead of standing in support of Angel Reese, his tweet mainly focused on criticizing her — once again revealing the same questionable behavior we've seen from RGIII over the years.From being called a "cornball brother" to repeatedly co-signing anti-Black narratives, this ain't new for RGIII.

In this clip, we dive into Drake’s newest single “What Did I Miss?” On this single, Drake addresses betrayal from close friends, including LeBron James, and reflects on the aftermath of his high-profile beef with Kendrick Lamar last summer.With his next album "ICEMAN" on the horizon, is this a comeback for Drake after a humiliating past year? We break down our honest thoughts on the track, debate whether Drake is finally finding his footing again, or if it’s time for him to move on from talking about the beef.

Did y'all miss us? We've returned from our brief hiatus to dive right back into the chaos! On this week's episode of Bad For The Community, we kicked things off with the rising tensions between Israel and Iran, the anti-ICE protests across the nation, and Trump's new travel ban. We also shared our dividing opinions on Tyler Perry's new movie 'Straw' and his controversial portrayal of Black women.

Fresh off of seeing Kendrick Lamar & SZA in concert, we kicked things off by reflecting on our experience at the show. It didn't take too long for another beef to strike in hip-hop, as we reacted to Ray Vaughn's and Joey Bada$$' diss tracks to each other and who we thought took round one. We also touched on the latest drama with Tory Lanez being stabbed in prison and the insane Diddy trial that's revealed more than any of us really need to know... In the second half of the episode, we went down memory lane as we discussed the biggest scandals that happened at our high schools, and also spoke on how success can create unwelcomed expectations when it comes to dealing with family & friends. To wrap things up, we entertained the idea of creating our own rent party business and discussed the difference between mutual aid and fundraising.

We got a lot to get to on this week's episode! We quickly kicked things off with a temperature check on the current state of the world, before diving right into Shadeur Sanders' draft stock tanking and whether or not the NFL is quietly colluding against Shadeur. Things then take a wild (and freaky) turn as we discussed Kanye's claims of giving his cousin oral as a child and the allegations around Shannon Sharpe's relationship with a MUCH younger woman.Later in the episode, we reflected back on albums that we once didn't like but ended up coming around on. Yves then stepped out of the room as Nate & Rob shared their review and full breakdown of Ryan Coogler's newly-directed film that has everyone talking, 'Sinners' [SPOILER ALERT].

On this week's episode, things kicked off with Nate and Yves joking on Rob's newest discovery... he's colorblind!

Rob also shared another entry to his collection of strange dreams, which led to a breakdown and reaction to the newest season of Netflix's "Black Mirror".Later in the episode, the guys answer the hypothetical: "If you had to remove 1 artist in hip-hop history to SAVE hip-hop, who would it be?" Everyone had their own reason behind their selection, but share your pick with us in the comments or on social media as well! We also gave some major shoutouts to a few Boston artists and their recent collaborations that stood out to us.

Catherine T. Morris, the founder of BAMS (Boston Arts & Music Soul) Fest, joined us for one of the most thoughtful and insightful conversations we've had yet on the podcast! As advocates for the Boston music and arts scene, it was important for us to recognize and learn more about Catherine's contributions toward the scene. Her mission to build racial equity and economic empowerment to Black creatives and entrepreneurs is evident through her work the growing success of BAMS Fest, and her role as the Director of Arts & Creativity at The Boston Foundation.During our conversation with Catherine, we learned more about her journey, including: her experiences with racism in the METCO program, her early work as an event coordinator during her college years, and her time spent in Philadelphia (which ultimately inspired her return to Boston and sparked the idea of BAMS Fest). Catherine also shared with us the criteria behind BAMS Fest's selection process for performers, advice she has for up-and-coming artists, and her overall views on the state of the creative economy in Boston. This conversation is a must-listen and one we're sure you're going to love and appreciate!Catherine T.
