Bad For The Community

With all the political theater that's been going on in the past few weeks, we'd be doing our community a disservice to not address the whirlwind of news. We opened by reacting to the leaked Epstein emails, including a WILD allegation involving Trump and Bill Clinton. Before diving all the way into politics, we shared our quick thoughts on new music from Wale, Summer Walker, Meek Mill, and more. With the legendary Max B finally free after 18 years, we discussed how he should approach his highly-anticipated return to music. We then broke down a poll of the most regretted college majors, followed by a deeper conversation on income inequality, the flaws in capitalism, and whether it's a system worth fixing. From there, we got into Democrats dropping the ball on the government shutdown, the fallout from the expiring ACA credits, and whether we think the Epstein files will actually get released after Congress’ upcoming vote. We also touched on Trump’s latest proposals, including $2K tariff payouts and 50-year mortgages, and closed with our Mount Rushmore of positive Black influences.

When we last spoke with FELIX!, he was fresh off his breakout feature on Brent Faiyaz’s “Upset” — a moment that helped take him from sleeping on couches to finding stability and success as an underground artist from Brockton, MA, known for his genre-bending and experimental sound.Now, a year later, Felix is back on Bad For The Community to catch us up on everything that’s happened since. From his full-circle feature on Saba’s album (after first DM’ing Saba years ago for advice) to opening up about battling depression since his teens, Felix kept it real with us from start to finish.We also touched on the current state of hip-hop, including the news of no rap songs charting on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time since 1990 — and why that might actually be a good thing for an oversaturated genre. We chimed in on the NBA YoungBoy vs. Lil Wayne debate, white people’s space in hip-hop, and his seemingly never-ending beef with a certain Boston artist.Felix also announced his upcoming album “Industry Plant” (dropping November 21).

The trio of Berto, Nate, and Yves are back in the studio for another chaotic and unfiltered episode!

This week on Bad For The Community, we’re joined by our brother and Boston’s own Clark D, making his return to the pod after some major life moves. Last time we spoke, Clark had just moved to Atlanta to chase his dreams as a musician and engineer. Now he’s back with Grammy-winning credits, major label experience, and a powerful story on overcoming personal struggle to fulfill your God-given purpose.We talk about his experience in ATL, the darker side of the industry, and the moment he realized God was calling him to refocus on his own music.

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.

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.

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.

Fresh off her latest mixtape ''CAPSULE_002: CLUB DIOSA', Shandelle brought the same fun vibes & energy to this week's episode of Bad For The Community! Things kicked off with Shandelle reflecting on her previous night's DJ set, which led to a conversation around "wall huggers" and people not dancing enough at the club.

It's been a slow news week, but you can always count on us find a way to argue about something!

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! All of the past behind the scenes debates on "what color is this" are starting to make a lot more sense now. 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. And of course, we couldn't end things without sharing our predictions for this year's NBA Playoffs, which led to a heated back and forth between Rob and Nate. You don't want to miss it!

On this week's episode, we immediately kicked off with a debate surrounding Playboi Carti's MUSIC album and whether we should be aging out of certain music. In a time where most new albums have a shelf life of a week, we revisted which albums we still have in rotation and which ones we haven't gone back to. We also reacted to the the wild story of a Tufts student being abducted by masked ICE agents, shared our thoughts on which ethnicities produce the best barbers, before wrapping things up with what everyone's been building behind the scenes.
