Episode 340 | "That's Bogus" (with Q)

The Need to Know Podcast

SaVon and Alex welcome Q back to the studio for another hilarious and thought-provoking episode. They open with laughs about a rapper's creative DM gone wrong, before catching listeners up on Apple Podcast feed issues and how platforms continue to affect independent creators. From there, they dive into former NBA player Tony Allen's arrest story and share personal encounters with police profiling (5:25). Patreon members spark candid conversations about following exes, emotional expression in the social media era, and a Leon Thomas-Kehlani debate (21:30). The group then shares their GRAMMY predictions for Hip-Hop and R&B (34:45) and debates DJ Vlad's latest controversy with Joyner Lucas, defining what it means to be a "culture vulture" and contrasting virality versus actual cultural impact (1:13:10). Later, they react to the new Michael Jackson biopic trailer and discuss whether Hollywood will tell the whole story or play it too safe (1:33:10). Finally, they close with thoughts on New York City's new mayor, rising costs of living, and why artists need to get back to doing interviews (1:48:32).
