Welcome to GTKPRS, where the culture don’t move unless WE say so. This is the room where your favorite rapper might get denied at the door like they wearing fake Mauris. It's me, Trap Bradshaw, and I got the council with me: Glasses Malone, Lex Diamond, Uncle Trill, Teef, Steve, and the homie Sane.Tonight, we’re establishing the rules. We’re deciding who’s allowed in hip-hop, who’s temporarily suspended, and who’s been banned since ‘04 and don’t even know it.If you sensitive, this ain’t the podcast for you. If you love the culture? Pull up a chair. The gate is open — but not for everybody.
