The episode is called “Guns and Monsters” because our guests were Pistol McFly and Snubnose Frankenstein. Two young rappers named after violent weapons who are both very good human beings. But that’s on the low-low. As is the mission of Shots Fired, we had them on the program to try to get them to play […]

If you’ve been paying attention to the last half-dozen episodes of Shots Fired, the only podcast to offer advice on how to adopt a puffin, you might notice that we’ve steered away from the one episode, one topic approach. There are only so many ways you can break down the history of independent rap and […]

I’m not going to waste my time writing about the ramifications of Miley’s moment as the Vanilla Ice of twerk. But you better believe that I will talk about it on a podcast.  It has been an epic week of tomfoolery from the Kanye eunuch appearing on the Kris Jenner show, to the VMA’s, to […]

Before I let Kendrick finish, I need to point out that Janet Jackson’s “Control” remains the best “Control” of all-time. Joy Division probably is hanging tough at number two. For the latest episode of Shots Fired, the only hip-hop podcast inspired by a Chris Brown and Tank song, we welcomed back BEeFF. If you don’t […]

For this week’s episode of Shots Fired, Nocando and I decided to just go back and forth and talk shit about the best and worst new music that we stumbled across. So Yung Lean gets eviscerated. Spark Master Tape gets praise. Forest Swords is revealed to be God. Drake is revealed to be not and […]

I’d like to think this photo accurately captures my feeling when Roc Marciano agreed to be the guest on the latest episode of Shots Fired. As you have probably read 73 times on this site, we are all fans of the honorable Hempstead rapper who treats Lamborghinis like bumper cars. For this episode we discussed […]

Straight out of the dungeons of Sunset Blvd. comes the latest episode of Shots Fired, with our guests Milo and Zeroh. If you’re unfamiliar with those two, they are two of the best otherground rappers working. If you’re interested in a bit more background, you can read up on Milo here or here.  This Bluffer’s […]

This photo screams for a caption contest. That’s what the comment section is for. As for me, I’m suffering from an overdose of Jay Jean Michael this week, what with my review at MTV Hive and the latest episode of Shots Fired. This one was originally supposed to feature Aceyalone, but there was a communication […]

Yes, that is a photo of Michael Jackson throwing up signs. This was but one of the many jewels dropped by TeeFLii on his visit to Shots Fired this week. Other topics covered include: FliiR&B, working with DJ Mustard and DJ Quik, krumping, why Michael Jackson is the greatest, and other instances of the power […]

Apologies for the relative inaction in these parts. I have been traveling and listening to the song on Yeezus that makes me want to listen to Mos Def’s “Traveling Man.” This is, of course, a lie because I only have time in my life to listen to ESGN and Run the Jewels and Migos (as […]
