In this superchat from DonaldVann, we dig into a fun but tricky topic: songs that we absolutely love but also feature some of the worst verses from a particular artist. We all know those tracks where the beat, hook, or main verses are incredible, but then a feature or guest spot brings the energy down. These verses weren’t enough to ruin the whole song, but when we look back, they definitely stand out as weak links. From hip hop classics to more recent tracks, we share our picks and debate whether a bad verse can still live on a great song. Want to throw your picks in the mix? Drop them in the comments and keep the conversation going.

In this Superchat Mailbag we tackled not one but two heavy questions from the community. Beezy circled back to answer a ranking superchat that came in during a previous mailbag and then the crew locked in on a brand new one. The question was simple but wild to think about: if you had to completely erase one hip hop album and its impact from history which one would it be As always the conversation went deep because removing a project from the timeline changes more than just the music it touches the culture the influence and the artists who came after. Let us know in the comments how you would have answered because we know this one is going to stir up some debate. Superchats like these drive some of our best convos so keep them coming if we miss yours live it could end up in its own dedicated video like this one. #DEHH #HipHop #Superchat #albumranking Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwNzLpk33dblyY2Gg-SyPxw/join Dead End Hip Hop Merch Shop: https://deadendmedia.myspreadshop.com Find all things Dead End Hip Hop here: https://linktr.ee/deadendhiphop SUBSCRIBE to our second channel, Is The Mic Still On: https://www.youtube.com/isthemicstillon IS THE MIC STILL ON PODCAST: SUBSCRIBE on iTunes: http://apple.co/2oJIzZb Follow The Crew: Follow Modest Media: @IamModestMedia Follow Beezy: @Beezy430 Follow Ken: @KennithBInge Follow Feefo: @Feefo247 Follow Myke C-Town: @MykeCTown Follow Sophie: @SayItAintSoph About Dead End Hip Hop: No scripts.

We are going live to cover the leaked jail phone calls from Young Thug that have sent shockwaves through the hip hop community. These recordings reveal conversations where names like Lil Durk, Kendrick Lamar, and Gunna come up, adding fuel to the already heated discussions around Thug, YSL, and the wider rap game. With Thug now on probation, the timing and content of these calls raise questions about what this means for his image, relationships in the industry, and the narrative surrounding him moving forward. During this livestream, we will break down what was said, explore how these revelations connect to larger conversations in hip hop, and give our unfiltered thoughts on the impact this might have. Whether it’s about loyalty, respect, or how the culture processes leaked information, we are diving deep into it all. Join us in the live chat to share your reactions and perspectives — this one is bound to spark debate across the board. #YoungThug #YSL #LilDurk #KendrickLamar #Gunna #HipHop #Livestream Learn more about your ad choices.

Ghostface Killah has returned with Supreme Clientele 2, a project fans have been anticipating for years. As the follow up to his 2000 classic Supreme Clientele, expectations could not be higher. The original solidified Ghost as one of the most inventive storytellers and stylists in hip hop and it remains a staple not just in his discography but in the Wu Tang legacy as a whole. In this review we break down whether Ghost was able to live up to the pressure of revisiting such a monumental title. We dive into the production across the album, the features that show up, and the moments where Ghost’s sharp lyricism and colorful imagery shine the brightest. We also take a critical look at how the album balances nostalgia with progression, asking if it feels like a natural continuation of Supreme Clientele or more of a tribute to what made that album special in the first place. This is a conversation hip hop heads will not want to miss, especially those who remember the impact of the original. Did Ghostface Killah deliver a worthy sequel or is Supreme Clientele 2 destined to spark debate among fans and critics alike #GhostfaceKillah #SupremeClientele2 #WuTang #HipHop #AlbumReview Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwNzLpk33dblyY2Gg-SyPxw/join Dead End Hip Hop Merch Shop: https://deadendmedia.myspreadshop.com Find all things Dead End Hip Hop here: https://linktr.ee/deadendhiphop SUBSCRIBE to our second channel, Is The Mic Still On: https://www.youtube.com/isthemicstillon IS THE MIC STILL ON PODCAST: SUBSCRIBE on iTunes: http://apple.co/2oJIzZb Follow The Crew: Follow Modest Media: @IamModestMedia Follow Beezy: @Beezy430 Follow Ken: @KennithBInge Follow Feefo: @Feefo247 Follow Myke C-Town: @MykeCTown Follow Sophie: @SayItAintSoph About Dead End Hip Hop: No scripts.

In this superchat conversation we tackle a question that cuts right to the heart of hip hop culture. One of our viewers asked if any albums from the 2020s so far truly deserve the legendary 5 Mics stamp that The Source Magazine used to hand out. For those who remember, 5 Mics wasn’t just a rating, it was a badge of honor that represented the highest level of artistry, cultural impact, and replay value an album could have. Only a handful of projects in hip hop history ever earned that status and they are still debated to this day. So what about the 2020s. With so much music dropping every week and the way hip hop has shifted in sound, style, and accessibility, does the 5 Mics standard still even apply. We go back and forth on the albums that stood out to us in this new decade, the projects that felt like instant classics, and what it actually takes for an album today to live up to that historical benchmark. From mainstream releases to underground gems, we break down which records have the potential to be remembered as elite contributions to the culture. Join the discussion and drop your thoughts in the comments. Which hip hop albums from the 2020s would you put in that 5 Mic category. Which ones feel like they’ll stand the test of time. We want to know what you consider classic level material in this era. #HipHop #DeadEndHipHop #AlbumReview #Superchat #5Mics Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwNzLpk33dblyY2Gg-SyPxw/join Dead End Hip Hop Merch Shop: https://deadendmedia.myspreadshop.com Find all things Dead End Hip Hop here: https://linktr.ee/deadendhiphop SUBSCRIBE to our second channel, Is The Mic Still On: https://www.youtube.com/isthemicstillon IS THE MIC STILL ON PODCAST: SUBSCRIBE on iTunes: http://apple.co/2oJIzZb Follow The Crew: Follow Modest Media: @IamModestMedia Follow Beezy: @Beezy430 Follow Ken: @KennithBInge Follow Feefo: @Feefo247 Follow Myke C-Town: @MykeCTown Follow Sophie: @SayItAintSoph About Dead End Hip Hop: No scripts.

We are back with another Chance the Rapper review, this time diving into his new album STAR LINE. It has been five years since The Big Day dropped in 2019 which we also reviewed at the time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW346QizEbs). Like many listeners we were not feeling that project and it left a lot of people wondering what direction Chance would take next. With all that time passing there has been plenty of anticipation to see if Chance could bounce back with something stronger. On STAR LINE he brings a new set of sounds and themes that show where he is at musically right now. The big question is whether this album is the comeback people have been waiting on or if he is still chasing the spark that made him stand out early in his career.

In this Superchat conversation we took on the ultimate challenge of putting four classic Outkast albums up against all four Run The Jewels albums and ranking them together in one combined matchup. Each member came in with their own personal ranking list, so you’ll see where our opinions line up and where they clash. From timeless Southern hip hop landmarks to the hard-hitting RTJ catalog, we broke down what makes each project stand out and where they stack up against each other. There were plenty of surprises, disagreements, and moments that might have you yelling at your screen. If you ever send in a Superchat during a live stream and we don’t get to your question or topic on the spot, it can still turn into a full conversation like the one you are watching right now.

In Part 2 of our 7 Levels of Rapper Conversation we used Duplee’s original criteria to put together our own list. Each of us brought 2 rappers for every level with the goal of naming artists who weren’t mentioned in his video. Things definitely got interesting as we debated where certain names belong and what it really means to master all 7 levels. Let us know if you agree with the names we added and make sure to add your own down below! Shout out to Duplee for creating this concept and breaking it down so well.

We watched the viral 7 Levels of Rapper video and it turned into a classic Dead End Hip Hop moment. What started as a reaction quickly turned into a full-blown debate, especially when Rod and FeeFo clashed over what it really takes to be Level 7. We broke down each level, called out where we think the video got it right and wrong, and even started tossing out names of rappers we feel got left off entirely. This convo had old school DEHH energy written all over it. Should we run it back with a part 2 and do our own 7 Levels tier list?

After XXL posted a clip of Metro Boomin saying music needs to go back to being regional, it sparked a convo we couldn't ignore. In the video, Metro reflects on how social media made everything feel the same. How sounds, styles, and even slang are getting blended to the point where you can’t tell where anything’s from anymore. So we had a real DEHH style discussion about it. Is Metro right Has music lost its regional identity And does his new mixtape A Futuristic Summa actually bring that feeling back Pull up as we unpack the video, reflect on how regions used to shape hip hop from Atlanta to NY to LA to the Midwest and ask whether the game can ever really go back Let us know in the chat if Metro is just reminiscing or if this is the wake up call hip hop needs Learn more about your ad choices.
