EL and Cheryl Poison fire up another lively ride on Once Upon a Time in Music, talks about the cartoons that raised us—Heathcliff and the Cadillac Cats, Thundercats (snarf!), Inspector Gadget, DuckTales, Woody Woodpecker, Kim Possible, The Proud Family’s legendary “peanut people” dance, Beavis & Butt-Head, and the eternally munchy Scooby-Doo. Between laughs, $5 jokes, and R&B vs. repeat-button confessions, “Who Did What?” hits the headlines—from Jay Fizzle’s jaw-dropping baby tally to the latest Cardi vs. Nicki pettiness. Movie Flashbacks swing wildly from the can’t-happen-today cult chaos of Soul Man (1986) to the gory thrills of Hostel (1 & 2). In music chat, L vents about recent listens (Curren$y’s 9/15, Magic City doc soundtrack, Jeezy’s grown-man pivot) before saluting two 10/10/95 staples: GZA’s Liquid Swords and AZ’s Doe or Die. Snack Time seals it with workplace-battle Hers Hot Cheese Puffs and throwback Butterfinger Ice Cream Nuggets. It’s memories , opinions, and pure chemistry—press play and yell “Thundercats, ho!” with us.

SPEAKER_02

Like is he a rapper?

SPEAKER_01

He's a rapper.

SPEAKER_02

Like he got stuff that's out. I'm gonna have to try to do that.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_02

Maybe it's a small town.

unknown

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah, he passed. I think my uncle passed the 30s.

SPEAKER_01

Really?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. And it's it's funny. Alright, it's funny because the kids grew up in the same area too.

SPEAKER_01

Do they know each other?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, they all know each other. One set grew up here, and maybe around the corner, the other set grew up.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_01

I know they did a lot of that like back in the day.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, he's he's old school. Oh.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_02

They didn't plan any trait, we tricked them. Oh, this feels different.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_02

What else you got?

SPEAKER_01

Is that I wanna no, I want to talk about Cardi B and Nikki. Okay. How you feel about their little situation? Taking shots at each other and the kids. It's been going on for years. I know, but they never really bring the kids into it.

SPEAKER_02

Uh Nikki was clever with that. Uh Did you see it? With the like the Cardi B's daughter's teeth?

SPEAKER_01

Yes, I seen it. That's petty.

SPEAKER_02

Is that a real piece? What what I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_02

What's the issue? What's the thing about that? I just saw the quick thing.

SPEAKER_01

She had a picture of the little girl smiling, and then a picture of the little piece.

SPEAKER_02

And I think she's very petty. Basically, she made a piece to match the little girl smile.

SPEAKER_01

And then she gave an apology, a half-ass apology.

SPEAKER_02

Who?

SPEAKER_01

Um, Nikki. She apologized to the little girl, but it was it was real shady.

SPEAKER_02

Well, she said, I'm sorry that your daughter has teeth like this or something like that.

SPEAKER_01

She didn't apologize to Cardi. She apologized to the little girl. And she said something like that. Um, like, all kids have a funny smile when they're growing up.

SPEAKER_02

Ha ha.

SPEAKER_01

That was a sideways one. Yeah, so I think Cardi's gonna see her when she dropped her load. I thought they did.

SPEAKER_02

They they ran into each other one time and it was.

SPEAKER_01

At the Met Gala, but um, Nikki was running.

SPEAKER_02

His family had a lot of money, and um basically the family kind of cut him off. They wanted him to go out there and do his own thing and do his own thing, make his make money on his own, stuff like that. Well, he was trying to get in college, he didn't have money to get in college. So the way he tried to get in college was what is what is that? Affirmative action. Affirmative action where he dressed up, painted himself. Black face. Blackface with a curly afro, looking crazy. Yeah, he looked crazy. He looked tan.

SPEAKER_01

Looking back at it now. Oh my god. He looks ridiculous.

SPEAKER_02

The first scene was so racist. Like, there's so many things in this movie. Like, they got a scene with him dressed as a pimp, eating watermelon. They got him dressed up as Prince at one of them. You know, it's crazy. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

If they did this now, people would be so mad. They would be boycotting him.

SPEAKER_02

It would be crazy. Um, it's it's funny, it's a good movie. I mean, I I I just want people to watch it because I I want to know, like, who who agreed to this? Like a white lady like made the movie. And this this is blackface. Uh the writer name is I wouldn't I wouldn't call it blackface, though.

SPEAKER_01

What they should have did was kind of find a white guy and a black guy that kind of look alike and switched it over to the other character. Yeah. That would have this face is crazy.

SPEAKER_02
