Marteen and Busby hold it down with another packed episode, starting with a look at the Sleeping on Gems Festival in San Jose, featuring DJ Lex, Sango, Thuy, and a headlining performance by Larry June (02:11). The two reflect on whether Larry June’s presence could help turn the corner for San Jose as a hub for hip-hop shows (08:11).

From there, Marteen opens up about his hectic week, clouded—literally—by a haze of smoke (10:00), while Busby shares his own updates, including finally regaining access to his Instagram account (12:00). The conversation shifts to Busby’s latest movie outing (HIM) (13:53), before the duo dives into a football check-in: their assessment of the 49ers’ season so far, plus a rundown of NFL news (21:28).

The “news news” segment gets even spicier with reactions to the Charlie Kirk situation (39:00), Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension (46:10), and D4vid’s criminal story (47:45). They also cover the Clipse’s eye-popping performance at the Vatican (51:20), Jay Electronica’s surprise drop (52:00), Cardi B’s “Am I The Drama” (53:20), and the never-ending leaks of Drake’s music (56:55). Busby rounds things out with his thoughts on the Kanye documentary (01:02:05) and some wrestling updates (01:08:20).

In this episode, Busby and Marteen kick things off with their usual banter before Busby shares a story about being recognized at the recent Clipse concert. From there, the duo dives into Bas’ viral tweet, where he called Drake one of the greatest writers of our generation, sparking a larger conversation about Drake’s omnipresence in music. Busby then breaks down the Stans documentary, leading into a discussion about albums that start off strong but lose steam toward the end. The two also touch on a certain situation involving a certain individual, leaving things just vague enough to keep listeners curious. Shifting gears, NFL talk takes center stage as Busby and Marteen try to guess who might headline the next Super Bowl halftime show based on past performances. The conversation branches into Taylor Swift’s “superpowers” and her Eras Tour, before Busby reveals what his original plan for the episode had been. As always, they close things out by reminding listeners to like, comment, subscribe, and share.

Following a second Sidebar Series, the entire iLLogical gang returns to restore order with hot takes that challenge mediocrity and call out names when needed. Hip-Hop dominates the opening act as Tyler, the Creator’s Don’t Tap the Glass earns top-tier praise (10:17), but questions start bubbling once Freddie Gibbs & Alchemist's Alfredo 2 hits the plate (18:43). Metro Boomin tries a concept play with A Futuristic Summa (22:50), while JID's God Does Like Ugly (29:38) pushes the panel into one of their toughest breakdowns of the year.

In the world of pop and playback, Taylor Swift literally shut down the Internet with her surprise album announcement (45:43), while Cardi B flips Jay-Z’s “Imaginary Players” and sets the internet ablaze (49:57). With Grammy season on the horizon, the crew debates early contenders and whether a true Best Rap Album sleeper pick is lurking in plain sight (56:42).

Legal smoke clouds the courtroom as Drake launches a messy lawsuit over Kendrick’s diss cover art (1:04:29), demanding contracts, criminal records, paternity files, and even info on Dave Free. It’s chess, not checkers—but did "The Boy" go too far this time?

Sports and streaming take over the fourth quarter: Disney+ is on demon time (1:26:05), NFL season heat checks (1:29:23), Jameis Winston earns presidential status (1:37:49), and the NBA flips the script with a new broadcast era (1:40:57). Another wired and wonderfully chaotic ride with The iLLogical Sense Podcast.

All that and more MVP-level madness in this mixtape-mashin’, stat-padding, lawsuit-slingin’ State of the iLLogical Union edition of The iLLogical Sense Podcast.

Busby and Marteen kick things off with their trademark banter before diving into a discussion about music sales—breaking down the difference between meaningful sales and empty numbers. From there, they explore the rise and transformation of Stan culture, questioning its charged-up intensity today. The conversation naturally shifts to Drake: Can he actually write? Has there been a real change in his artistry? Busby reveals his true feelings on Drake, which spirals into an unexpected tangent about Hulk Hogan. The duo also touches on Netflix’s show Unreal and debates whether J. Cole can “right the ship” in the current rap climate.

The sun may be beaming in July, but snow is all around as the iLLogical gang returns with a kilo of commentary and a suitcase full of opinions. Before they get to bagging bars, J.C. drops the kind of major life news that would make a plug proud, minus the federal charges (1:37). The crew taps in on Kendrick and SZA’s Toronto tour stop (5:12), where love from the Six turns into something unreal. Meanwhile, Drake’s abs go viral for all the wrong reasons (9:30), and he tries to spin the block with a new diss track, "What Did I Miss" (13:50)… but do the results hold up under pressure?

Once they get tired of flipping through the same old mid, the squad shifts to the powder fresh perfection of Clipse’s long-awaited comeback album, Let God Sort Em Out, produced entirely by Pharrell (30:00). From the flawless rollout to the snow-covered rhymes, the crew debates whether this coke rap capsule is a classic or just a really solid re-up.

Then in the courtroom corner, the crew breaks down Diddy’s federal verdict (1:17:26). Not guilty on the biggest charges, but guilty on transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution. Sentencing lands in October, but public reaction is already moving weight.

Other stories on the line include another verified lurker sliding into Busby’s replies (58:20), a first look at the new Superman reboot that has more white powder than kryptonite (1:07:15), a flurry of new music including JID’s The Preluxe (1:11:23), Larry June and Cardo’s Until Night Comes (1:13:12), Tech N9ne’s 5816 Forest (1:16:02), and the Buss Family selling a majority stake in the Lakers for a clean $10 billion (1:24:43).

All that and more culturally inappropriate takes in this fully loaded, brick by brick edition of The iLLogical Sense Podcast.

They may flip from weekly to semi-weekly to monthly like a rotating McRib, but the consistency on the iLLogical gang menu stays stacked and smoking every time! Kicking things off, the crew recaps two Grand National Tour shows across California and Nevada—with Busby, Martin, and Matt in San Francisco, and J.C. in Las Vegas—to share their favorite moments from Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s legendary coast-to-coast combo meal of a run (03:34).

With the show now cookin’ on high heat, the gang reacts to Drake announcing his UK tour (1:02:33)—but the timeline’s response? Let’s just say it ain’t exactly lovin’ it. Meanwhile, Joey Bada$$ & Ray Vaughn flip the rap game into a surprise battle royale (1:11:01), Complex serves up another hot-and-cold Top Rappers list (1:19:42), and Lil Wayne’s 'Tha Carter VI 'pulls up like a spicy Popeyes collab—with all the wrong sides (1:25:21).

Also on the tray—Clipse announces their long-awaited comeback album, 'Let God Sort Em Out,' drops July 11 (1:40:40), E-40 delivers a Tiny Desk that feels like a 40-box of Bay Area flavor (1:56:05), and the crew breaks down Season 4 of Raising Kanan—because even when the plot thins, the beef stays on the grill (2:00:57).

All that and more value-sized chaos, sizzling takes, and mic-dropping moments in the latest edition of The iLLogical Sense Podcast.

The iLLogical gang returns to break down the one-year anniversary of Kendrick Lamar's diss tracks toward Drake (6:55), including DJ Hed’s guest appearance on Rory & Mal to debate the outcome with Mal (11:32). Meanwhile, UMG fires back with a new motion to dismiss Drake’s lawsuit (23:23), prompting J.C. to put his paralegal studies to use with his own detailed case brief (28:30).

As the episode unfolds, the crew offers deeper analysis on Kendrick’s catalog since 2022 (47:55), unpacks what this lawsuit really represents for Drake (56:40), celebrates why '90s cartoons remain elite (1:07:57), music reviews for Wiz Khalifa’s highly anticipated 'Kush & OJ 2' (1:21:00), Ray Vaughn’s 'The Good, The Bad, The Dollar Menu' (1:29:30), and more!
