We have a music heavy episode for your guys! What happened to the performers? We tackle the online debate about Lil Nas X, Normani and Chloe Bailey's recent performances and why people question if they are doing too much. We also look back at the days when MTV really meant Music Entertainment Television and and the great shows and music videos we got to enjoy. Plus the brief return of Rap City and how many of these rappers careers would be short lived if it was still around. And we finally learn when Adele and Silk Sonic are dropping their much anticipated albums.

Hurricane Ida put us on pause but after the two week long power outages and lack of water we are back. Creole talks about working through her first major storm and Retro deals with riding out his first major storm without his fiancee. Then we play catch up. We finally get to share our thoughts on "She Ball" (How old is Chris Brown supposed to be in this?!), recap Nicki Minaj's bizarre Covid vaccine rant on Twitter (Your cousin's friend's left nut? Really?!) and Kanye's rush to release "Donda" before Drake's "Certified Lover Boy".

On this episode we debate, "Can you really have it all?" We also discuss Dr. Dre and Kelly Clarkson's huge losses in divorce court. $300k for spousal support? Seriously?! And Rolling Stone Magazine can't really be serious about Beyonce's "Formation" being the best music video of all time. Last question. Y'all were really in Atlanta paying $50 for chicken tenders at an album listening party for an album that's three weeks late? Y'all will really do anything for Kanye huh? And we recorded our first YouTube video for the podcast. Head there to check us out.

We're back with another episode of the "Aww...But Yeah!" podcast. Life has been hectic for Creole and Retro but we got yall. On this episode we debate the appropriate window of when you can release a remix to a song. Yall remember those? Gen Z if you don't know what we talking about we explain it to you. And how far is too far when suing for copyright infringement? Creole puts her knowledge of media law to good use and breaks it down. We compare cases of the past to cases of the present and call out some straight BS.

We're back with another one! Friday marked 12 years since the death of Michael Jackson. We talk about his music, debate his endless catelog of music and where music is going. Plus we layout the different categories of RnB and who falls where. Did we get it right? And what is this huge uptick in women geeting BBL's in the Dominican Republic? We share a viral post showing more than two dozen women in the Santo Domingo airport in wheelchairs and discuss how plastic surgery has gone overboard. Gotta do it for the gram right?

We're back from Odessa, TX with stories and rants. We've been gone for a month but we have a lot to share about our long expensive trip to West Texas for a wedding. Plus the job changes and injuries that kept us away. And with us in the process of wedding planning, Creole has her strong feelings about many go to black wedding songs and songs that aren't really as appropriate for a wedding as you think it is when you really break down the lyrics.

It's a long episode but a fun one this week. Retro's bestfriend Relic St. Malo paid us a visit after we had to curve him for Terrance Osborne last week. Don't worry. He was cool with it.

Plus all the other wild stuff Retro and Relic talk about on the daily. Then after this podcast you can check out Relic's dope ass music.

On this episode we address the passing of hip hop legends DMX and Black Rob. We also discuss why it's not fair to place the blame on anyone for someone's ongoing addictions. We also talk about this year's Oscar snubs, the hype of it all and how they almost always let us down. Plus, Redman and Method Man gives us one of the most fun Verzuz to date on 420 because was there any better day to do it?

Like we promised, this week we are joined by our first guest, actress Tenaj Jackson. Tenaj has had roles in American Horror Story: Coven, Treme, Django Unchained and Lifetime's Status: Unknown. She is also Creole's bestfriend of 24 years. This episode is a free for all with Retro and Tenaj questioning the celebrity relationships they feel Creole downplays. And we bring up the musicians Retro went to school with and the many A-list actors Tenaj has been blessed to spend time on screen with. Does Oscar winners Kathy Bates and Jaime Foxx sound familiar? Also, who in the room dated a Grammy award winning artist and got to hold a Grammy?
