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.

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.
