  • Episode 325: "I Rest My Case!"
    Oct 25 2025

    With the entire crew back in the building after an extended recess, the iLLogical gang reconvenes court with a docket full of industry drama, lyrical jabs, and cultural chaos so thick, it might need its own discovery phase.

    Opening statements begin with a cross-examination of A.I., as the crew revisits earlier takes and debates whether artificial intelligence is now helping… or just pleading the fifth (4:44). Then it’s time for reflection as they pay tribute to the late, great D’Angelo, honoring the legacy of a soul legend (13:20).

    Next, it’s trial by playback as Drake’s defamation lawsuit against Kendrick Lamar is officially dismissed (22:52). The crew breaks down the judge’s ruling, revisits J.C.’s accurate case brief from Episode 320, and asks the bigger question: Can you really sue someone for cooking you on wax?

    The docket only gets deeper:

    • Cardi B vs. Nicki Minaj goes juvenile with ruthless social media jabs (48:56)
    • Marc Lamont Hill vs. Queenzflip sparks a war of words on the Joe Budden Podcast (50:20)
    • Taylor Swift’s second-week sales collapse leads to conspiracies about her rollout strategy (1:06:19)
    • Diddy’s sentencing finally lands, bringing some closure to a dark saga (1:11:54)
    • Mark Sanchez fumbles the bar — literally — during a violent public incident (1:16:07)
    • NFL parity or mediocrity? No dominant team yet… unless you’re the Jets (1:19:57)
    • Netflix’s Starting Five Season 2 brings heat, but KD comes across as unlikeable (1:35:00)

    All that and more slanderous soliloquies and audio affidavits in this gavel-droppin’, ego-poppin’, case-closin’ edition of The iLLogical Sense Podcast.

  • Episode 324: "Conservative Violence!"
    Sep 29 2025

    Marteen and Busby hold it down with another packed episode, starting with a look at the Sleeping on Gems Festival in San Jose, featuring DJ Lex, Sango, Thuy, and a headlining performance by Larry June (02:11). The two reflect on whether Larry June’s presence could help turn the corner for San Jose as a hub for hip-hop shows (08:11).

    From there, Marteen opens up about his hectic week, clouded—literally—by a haze of smoke (10:00), while Busby shares his own updates, including finally regaining access to his Instagram account (12:00). The conversation shifts to Busby’s latest movie outing (HIM) (13:53), before the duo dives into a football check-in: their assessment of the 49ers’ season so far, plus a rundown of NFL news (21:28).

    The “news news” segment gets even spicier with reactions to the Charlie Kirk situation (39:00), Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension (46:10), and D4vid’s criminal story (47:45). They also cover the Clipse’s eye-popping performance at the Vatican (51:20), Jay Electronica’s surprise drop (52:00), Cardi B’s “Am I The Drama” (53:20), and the never-ending leaks of Drake’s music (56:55). Busby rounds things out with his thoughts on the Kanye documentary (01:02:05) and some wrestling updates (01:08:20).

    Sep 29 2025

    In this episode, Busby and Marteen kick things off with their usual banter before Busby shares a story about being recognized at the recent Clipse concert. From there, the duo dives into Bas’ viral tweet, where he called Drake one of the greatest writers of our generation, sparking a larger conversation about Drake’s omnipresence in music. Busby then breaks down the Stans documentary, leading into a discussion about albums that start off strong but lose steam toward the end. The two also touch on a certain situation involving a certain individual, leaving things just vague enough to keep listeners curious. Shifting gears, NFL talk takes center stage as Busby and Marteen try to guess who might headline the next Super Bowl halftime show based on past performances. The conversation branches into Taylor Swift’s “superpowers” and her Eras Tour, before Busby reveals what his original plan for the episode had been. As always, they close things out by reminding listeners to like, comment, subscribe, and share.
