Cole CuchnaAbout the episode
Today’s matchup pushed Cole and Charles’s friendship to its limits: Jay-Z’s The Blueprint vs. Beyonce’s Lemonade.
The LSS boys continue their journey to crown the Best Album of the 21st century (so far). Every episode this season, Cole and Charles each nominate one album they feel should be in contention for the century’s best. Each album is discussed individually before the two albums battle head-to-head, where Cole and Charles argue until they can agree on the better album.
The winning album from each episode advances to the season finale Royal Rumble, where the LSS boys will face off one last time until they can finally agree on the best album of the 21st century.
New episodes every Tuesday.
