You Might Wanna Sit Down 4 This

Episode 92 | Are We Gonna Be Full? (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN & Trivelle Simpson)

Episode 92 kicks off with some wrestling anecdotes before diving into Chris Brown’s Breezy Bowl tour stop in Toronto, where he managed to pack 50,000 fans into a temporary venue despite pouring rain. The crew discusses Chris’s influence and resilience, highlighting how he’s remained consistent for nearly two decades and continues to receive support despite challenges.The conversation then pivots to an intriguing debate: could Jermaine Dupri bring out Chris’s best work? While die-hard CB fans argue he doesn’t need anyone, the team explores JD’s track record (including multiple appearances on Billboard’s newly released Top Producers list) and makes the case for why the pairing could make sense.

From there, they break down Cardinal B’s new single “Imaginary Playerz,” which samples Hov’s classic, sparking a bigger question when it comes to remakes in music and film, is being “dope” enough, or does it also need to surpass the original? Other topics include Cardi B’s eight-year delay in releasing her sophomore album and the possible label politics behind it, a viral social media post claiming men should never tell their girlfriend if they’re facing financial struggles, Jurnee Smollett’s alimony situation, the upcoming Jake Paul fight, and a few other media tidbits.

Episode 91 | Cause I'm A Thug (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN & Trivelle Simpson)

The crew dives into Toronto’s yearly Caribana tradition and the “diaspora wars” that break out when some festivalgoers push back against hearing Afrobeats at an event rooted in West Indian culture.

From there, the conversation shifts to Drake’s island/Afro-inspired record with Central Cee, Which One, sparking a look at surprising Drake songs that despite massive popularity never hit #1, and the tracks that blocked them.

On the heels of will.i.am’s controversial take that Black Thought is miles ahead of Jay-Z, the group examines a wild album track sequencing before launching into an unexpected head-to-head: Prime Fergie & her Black Eyed Peas run vs. Gwen Stefani & her No Doubt era.

The ongoing 50 Cent vs. DMX debate segues into a bubbling 50 Cent vs. Jay-Z matchup, leading DJXP to present real-life scenarios for and against Hov being ranked above Black Thought.

DJXP also praises Metro Boomin’s project for capturing a specific moment in Atlanta’s “Black Boy White Boy Swag” polo era post-White Tee/Snap and pre-Future/New Atlanta run.

The episode wraps with reactions to one of Trick Daddy’s wild takes on women 35+, plus other pop culture moments to close things out.

Episode 90 | "IT'S NOT FAIR" (DJXP feat. Trivelle Simpson & EverythingOShauN)

Episode 90 of You Might Wanna Sit Down 4 This kicks off with the cast talking about Clipse’s album Let God Sort Em Out doing 118K first week. They then briefly mention Travis Scott’s Jack Boys album and praise another surprise release, Justin Bieber’s SWAG.

Next, they discuss the precarious Alex Warren song that has been holding the number 1 spot on the Hot 100 and dominating radio, alongside Drake’s inability to dethrone it despite a strong first week with his single “What Did I Miss.” After debating the reasons why and how, they move into the infamous Coldplay Astronomer story that grabbed headlines and disgusted Trivelle, involving a now disgraced CEO caught getting cozy with his head of HR during the popular Kiss Cam segment.

Relationship questions stem from this, including women’s feelings about public embarrassment during cheating. Trivelle’s disgust continues as DJXP reveals that Shannon Sharpe and the OnlyFans model have reached a settlement most definitely in the millions as she announced her retirement from the game.

After some more colorful commentary, the relationship conversation shifts to Klay Thompson and his new girlfriend Megan Thee Stallion, and why people are counting down the days until it ends.

The discussion moves to sports, with Dame Lillard making a historic return to Portland and the WNBA’s demand for better pay, despite technically operating at a loss.

Late Night TV takes a hit with the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show reportedly to appease someone high up before DJXP sparks a debate with OShauN and Trivelle about a cousin’s wedding invite dilemma.

Episode 89 | "Trans Paren Sea" (DJXP feat. Trivelle Simpson & EverythingOShauN)

The gang kicks things off with a deep dive into Drake’s “What Did I Miss” release and the surprise livestream that took over downtown Toronto (Dundas Square, now renamed “Sankofa”). They break down the song, the stream, the rollout strategy, the subject matter, and public reaction.

 

From there they jump to T-Pain’s recent comments about policing artistry and the idea of an artist's exit plan from music. DJXP brings up two documentaries, one on the legendary Sly & The Family Stone, and the other on The Beach Boys, to explore how rare it is for artists to maintain the social relevance Drake still has.

 

This leads to a full-on conversation about longevity in music. The crew discusses the blog era (Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, Meek Mill, Cole, Kendrick, Drake, etc.) and what caused some artists to lose momentum while others stayed hot.

 

From there a T.I. vs 50 Cent tangent sparks up, followed by a quick update on Toronto’s new Rogers Stadium, where Coldplay is set to do four sold-out shows back to back.

 

Later DJXP brings a funny and unexpected list of “Scary Songs” found online. The crew debates which songs were actually eerie and which ones made no sense on the list (like Marvin Gaye). This leads into a Prince vs MJ moment as Purple Rain enters the discussion.

 

After a spontaneous Thong Song drop by OShauN, the crew dives into What These Btches Want* and the revelation that there was an original version without Sisqó. That opens the floor for a convo about songs that were already perfect before the feature or had features that maybe weren’t even needed.

 

Then comes a relationship discussion sparked by Nigerian music mogul Don Jazzy, who admits he doesn’t have the strength to be with just one woman. The team analyzes the statement, questioning whether it's honest self-awareness or a front for polygamy and whether women actually prefer that kind of transparency.

 

The pod wraps up with some final thoughts on the Diddy case and the conclusions from the most recent rulings.

Episode 88 | "Its Not Clocking To You" (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN and Trivelle Simpson)

Episode 88 kicks off with continued coverage of the Clipse album rollout for Let God Sort 'Em Out, focusing on their second single “So Be It,” which appears to take shots at Travis Scott. The crew traces the animosity back to Drake’s Meltdown on Utopia, a track that targets Pharrell and reportedly caused Pusha T to lose respect for Travis due to their collaboration.

After unpacking that dynamic, the conversation shifts to Kendrick Lamar’s two back-to-back shows in Toronto. XP leads the discussion on what he learned about the Toronto audience, as they each weigh in on the pros and cons of a performance like that happening in Drake’s own hometown, where all three hosts are from.

Things move on to a recap of the BET Awards, which they agree was one of the best produced and most well attended shows in recent years. The episode wraps up with takes on Tyler Perry, Diddy, and the massive $10 billion sale of the Lakers franchise.

Episode 87 | "That 3 Percent" (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN & Trivelle Simpson)

Episode 87 kicks off with some light banter and shots at Duke Dennis for allegedly having multiple baby mothers, along with Trivelle demanding time in the studio to finally record a track with OShauN.

The spotlight then shifts to the news of OVO R&B duo DVSN ending their deal and signing with So So Def, where they'll now be curated by Jermaine Dupri. This sparks a deeper conversation about the functionality of artist-led labels and whether they really work. The discussion brings up DTP (Disturbing Tha Peace) led by Ludacris, which leads to a fun face-off: Bobby Valentino vs. Chingy, debating who was the better artist from a musician-led label while comparing their top hits.

Next up is Lil Wayne’s ‘Tha Carter VI’, (which has officially dropped). A sneak peek of a Mannie Fresh-produced single sets the tone for the group’s reaction. That leads into talk about the Clipse and their upcoming album, along with the controversy surrounding their split from Def Jam, a move that allegedly involved a seven-figure buyout. The gang breaks down the label holdups around their Kendrick Lamar feature, which was reportedly being threatened to be censored or removed for taking shots at Drake.

Staying on music, DJXP plays a leaked Lil Baby single that samples a Crime Mob classic. This triggers a debate on modern sampling, including what should be sampled, how it should be done, and some standout examples in 2025. DJXP then stands on a solo hill, boldly claiming that Erykah Badu’s Baduizm deserves the same level of praise and acclaim as Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.

The conversation shifts to Taylor Swift buying back her masters, Stefon Diggs matching Offset’s energy, and Cardi B’s clapback involving the NFL star. That opens the question: does having a spouse actually help your focus in sports? The gang runs through a quick list of ballplayers who had strong women by their side during their rise.

There's a quick detour into Toronto Raptors speculation. Could they actually land Giannis? Reality sets in, and the conversation turns into a wild rabbit hole about Paul George being the unexpected centerpiece in multiple NBA shifts, including the Finals and SGA’s rise. The group reflects on how the Raptors may have been positioned to win another championship during the bubble years if the core roster with Kawhi Leonard had stayed intact.

To close the episode, a fiery and emotional final segment breaks out between Trivelle and OShauN, centered around a viral Facebook post from a stepfather venting about being disrespected by his daughter and her mother.

Episode 86 | "Crossover" (DJXP feat. Trivelle Simpson & EverythingOShauN)

In Episode 86, the conversation starts off light before Trivelle opens up about his longing for the comfort, routine, and security that come with love and fatherhood. XP then brings up an artist seemingly living that life in A$AP Rocky, prompting a dive into his discography, recent output, and how he's been balancing music with parenting alongside Rihanna.

From there, the conversation moves to Rihanna’s own musical activity, or lack of it, and a breakdown of her strongest writing collaborators, including PartyNextDoor. In the aftermath of the great Hip Hop beef of 2024, XP questions whether Rihanna could lose Party as a writing partner because of her close relationship with A$AP. While the group unpacks that idea, they also touch on the success of Drake’s collaborative album with PND, which has already moved over a million units.

This leads to a broader conversation about Drake’s need for a proper in-depth interview, with his last one being Rap Radar in 2018. The crew throws out names of potential platforms and interviewers, both realistic and far-fetched, including Drink Champs, Akademiks, and others.

After exploring their interview wish list and debating the chances of it actually happening, the focus shifts to major headlines from the past eight days. The Diddy trial, DDG and Halle Bailey, and new developments in Tory Lanez’s case all come up. XP introduces the segment with care, acknowledging how many women are feeling targeted right now. The group then digs into the complexities and individual realities of each case.

Other stories in hip hop include Joey Bada$$ and his 20 v 1 battle taking on the West Coast (TDE, affiliates, and more). There’s also a quick recap of the NBA playoffs and a reaction to the Leafs’ disappointing Game 7 loss, as well as the general frustration of any Game 7 that turns into a blowout. Things wrap up with a short take on Ye, as Trivelle explains why he once compared Ye’s controversies to those of Michael Jackson.

Episode 85 | "Perforations" (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN & Trivelle Simpson)

Episode 85 kicks off with the crew discussing Denzel Washington’s new starring role in a Spike Lee joint titled Highest 2 Lowest, alongside A$AP Rocky and Ice Spice. This leads to a conversation about Denzel’s greatness and legacy in acting. Resident thespian EverythingOShauN takes a deep dive into why Denzel considers himself a theatre actor first, before a Hollywood one.

Next, the group unpacks Ryan Coogler’s magnum opus film Sinners (spoilers ahead), and a heated debate quickly sparks between Trivelle and OShauN over Michael B. Jordan’s performance playing twins “Smoke & Stack.” This disagreement opens up a broader critique of Jordan’s entire filmography.

As that conversation gains traction, XP jumps in to challenge the double standard in how Black actors are held to higher standards of excellence compared to their Caucasian peers, while dropping a controversial name to attempt to illustrate the point.

After some well-deserved praise for Sinners, the crew breaks down Delroy Lindo’s iconic performance, the film’s hidden messages and spiritual layers, its commentary on the music industry, and Coogler’s creative decisions around format and how they contributed to the film’s success.

During recording, NBA playoff games are unfolding live, interrupting the flow and shifting the conversation to real-time reactions. The Knicks edge out a win to go up 2–0, and Trivelle walks back his previous predictions about the Houston Rockets, offering new takes on their next steps. The focus then shifts to LeBron James, as Trivelle reveals a listener asked for him to be pressed about the viral LeBron clips from OShauN. A heated debate follows comparing peak LeBron vs. peak Jordan, with the cast reliving the highs and lows of LeBron’s dominance in the league. They also touch on Jokic’s continued excellence and Luka Doncic’s need for growth.

From there, the episode transitions to music headlines. The crew discusses Bobby Shmurda’s alleged struggles with ticket sales, Busta Rhymes receiving his first Diamond plaque, and the major Afrobeats artists set to hit Scotiabank Arena in Toronto — Rema, Wizkid, and Davido. That is, until XP finds out in real time that Wizkid’s show has been canceled, sparking a conversation about the significance of selling out arenas in markets like Toronto compared to London or New York.

As the one-year anniversary of the biggest rap conflict of all time approaches, the gang reacts to the debate between DJ Hed (for Kendrick) and Mal (for Drake) on the Rory & Mal podcast. They dissect the arguments and the direction the battle took.

Finally, after Rockstar Games once again delayed the generational release of GTA 6, they surprised fans with a brand-new trailer. XP breaks it down and reflects on the cultural impact a game of that scale holds.

Trivelle closes out the episode with updates on football (including the Champions League Final), boxing, and more.

Episode 84 | "Enamoured By Women" (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN & Trivelle Simpson)

Episode 84 of You Might Wanna Sit Down for This kicks off with some classic group banter, as Trivelle states that DJXP is “enamoured by women.” That lighthearted moment leads to a deeper conversation about the type of men who claim not to like women, yet still rely on them for what they provide...while asking the question "Did those women really go to space?"

The discussion then segues into Tracee Ellis Ross’s viral comments on Michelle Obama and her brother’s podcast, where she opens up about preferring to date younger men over older ones. The group explores the potential double standard when those preferences are flipped, along with other dating quirks and oddities—like Martha Stewart’s takes on romance, Damon Wayans allegedly dating his nephew’s girlfriend, and more stories that dive into the dynamics of dating, marriage, and power distribution in relationships.

Coachella gets some love next, with highlights from Missy Elliott and T-Pain. The crew reflects on the longevity of their careers, which have spanned decades since they first dropped music in the '90s and 2000s. That leads to a fun segment on Mandela Effects in music—think lyrics you thought you knew from tracks like “All I Do Is Win,” Lloyd’s “I Want You,” and Usher’s “Nice and Slow.”

Next up: the government-mandated Drake segment. The team reacts to Nokia jumping to #2 on the Billboard charts and the reported legal threat from UMG, possibly tied to the recent diss track drama. They touch on the rumored $250 million settlement and break down what Drake would realistically see from that number based on his contributions to the biggest label and market share holder in the industry.

With the NBA playoffs officially underway, the crew reacts to Paul Pierce’s spicy comments about what it would mean if Steph Curry wins another ring during “The LeBron Era.” They dive into first-round matchups and what to expect from the postseason—with some bold predictions from Trivelle on who might shake things up.

To wrap things up, they debate the viral “Mount Rushmore” artist lists floating around—covering categories like New York Hip-Hop, ATL Hip-Hop, and their own takes on what those lists might look like for Afrobeats and Dancehall. Things heat up quickly as Vybz Kartel and Sean Paul’s legacies come into focus in the battle for dancehall supremacy.

Episode 83 | "Put The Mic Back" (DJXP feat. EverythingOShauN & Trivelle Simpson)

Episode 83 kicks off with some light banter before diving into the recent buzz around Chris Brown — starting with his feature on Leon Thomas’ “Mutt” remix, which helped the song shoot up the charts. They discuss the success of Chris Brown’s upcoming stadium tour alongside Bryson Tiller and Summer Walker, and get into the online debate comparing Chris Brown’s controversies to R. Kelly’s — is it really a 1:1 comparison, or are there important differences and nuances?

After that heated back-and-forth, the conversation shifts to Stephen A. Smith’s recent criticism of LeBron James — what some are calling a full-blown “hate tour” as Stephen A. makes his rounds across various media outlets. The crew breaks down LeBron’s response and tries to unpack when and why the tension between LeBron and Stephen A. really started.

Sticking with basketball, Trivelle brings a player comparison debate to the table, challenging the group to decide who was better at their peak between two NBA stars.

After an unexpected commercial break, Trivelle gets surprised with a gift — new merch from EverythingOShauN's latest clothing line (now available). From there, the crew checks out Miley Cyrus' new musical direction and upcoming album, leading to a conversation about artistry and what ingredients feel like they're missing in today’s music-making process.

They also touch on online chatter from fans feeling bad for PARTYNEXTDOOR — suggesting he was used to help usher in Drake’s new era, especially after being left out of the “Nokia” song and video.

The episode wraps with a discussion on Marvin Sapp’s “closed door policy” when it comes to collecting offerings in church — and a debate over whether Waka Flocka was right when he said he would save his wife over his child.
