Mike Knox & Tone Trump have a checkered past and a sordid history. Once brothers, unfortunately over time they succumbed to certain street temptations and industry indulgences that caused a fracture in the powerful movement that was once G Unit Philly. The next up collective of Philly MCs included Trump, Knox, Ive Vegas and Cotic. Today, three of the four MCs join me to discuss all things G-Unit Philly like what led to their past beefs and current reconciliation; and memorable moments like the creation of street smashes “Creepin Low” & “08PE.” They also touch on some industry power players like 50 Cent, Birdman, Lil Wayne & Steve Morales. All this and much more on today’s episode of TRPE.

The Shannon Sharpe saga took an unexpected turn last week when he was hit with a $50M lawsuit via notorious Texas attorney Tony Buzbee and a Jane Doe. The days that followed saw a stream of negative publicity for ole Shay Shay & content trail that made him appear guilty as charged. Today we discuss everything we know thus far, analysis the REAL PROBLEM with Shannon and attempt to figure out why NIGGAS BE TOO HORNY!! As the show moves on we discuss the shocking revelation from the artist/mogul FKA as Kanye West and how social media offered him no reprieves based on his recent string of hate filled content, tweets and interviews. In the middle of the show Matt rolls out a new segment in hopes of trying to understand why the fuck yall think 100 niggaz can take down a gorilla 🦍 in hand to hand combat. For the final hour the best pod duo alive break down all things Shedeur, Shilo & Coach Prime. The epic slide 🛝 experienced by Shedeur in the 2025 NFL draft reeks of collusion, racism and a desperate ratings grab by the league that once blackballed Colin Kaepernick for protesting police brutality and racial injustice. As is the case with any calamity, there is more than enough blame to go around and all parties involved get their fair share of Nut Azz Nigga Pie. All this and more on the latest episode of The Realest Podcast Ever.
