BET Awards Buzz, Lil Wayne's Album Criticism & Eminem's Legal Battle | Roundtable Ep.57

Hip-Hop High Society Presents: The Roundtable Ep.57 (06/11/25)

• BET Awards Recap/Reactions. With big acts like Mariah Carey and Kendrick Lamar attending this year, is it finally trending upwards?

• Promotion: Website

• Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter VI opens to lower-than-anticipated streaming numbers and lots of criticism. Is the decline real? Or is groupthink taking over?

• Crash Dummy of the Week

• Dub or Dud – live review 
Artist/Song Link: Cam Cole – 52 

• Comedy Break: Bars!

• Discussion: Eminem Sues Meta with damages reported over 1 million. Could this signal the end of free music online use on personal accounts as a trickle effect? Good or bad thing? Should art be freely distributed?

• Discussion: Talented rappers whose trajectory was derailed or hindered by their team (managers, label, entourage, etc.). Examples: Tink, Miss Jade, 2 Chainz/Chingy (DTP). Is choosing the right team just as important as the quality of the music?

• Discussion: Is the 35+ demographic carrying rap right now? On the flip side, is there a good time to throw in the towel if a music career isn’t popping?

• Discussion: Most Underrated Rap Collective/group of All Time? Ex: Dead Prez, Pharcyde…On the flipside, the most overrated.

• “What are you listening to?”
