NO ENCORE

TOP 5 BAD FEATURES BY GOOD RAPPERS ft. Rudi Kinsella

Ep. 420

Battle rap enthusiast Rudi Kinsella takes the coveted 'featured artist' tag as this week's NO ENCORE co-host, and he's only here to run down a bunch of off days and cash grabs by some of the best in the verbal business. 


It's time to highlight some of the best rappers in the game unleashing some of their most pathetic work ever recorded, all in the name of a special guest verse on someone else's track. 


Meanwhile, there's a.... fairly quiet news section. One of those weeks, sorry! 


Don't forget, you can get this and every new NO ENCORE episode 24 hours early and ad-free, AND additional bonus audio content by signing up to Patreon.com/NOENCORE.


ACT ONE (7:05): Dave Matthews provokes an odious story, Green Day piss off the MAGA crowd, Gojira rock and shock the Olympic Games, the Sinéad O'Connor waxwork upsets everyone, and will we ever be free of The Kooks? It's the news. 


ACT TWO (40:21): Top 5 Bad Features by Good Rappers.

  • OASIS TICKETS DYNAMIC PRICING ROW ft. Jim Carroll

    37:09|
    A national emergency (not really) provokes a bonus NO ENCORE (yes, really) as Dave Hanratty attempts to wrap his head around the great Oasis ticketing scandal of 2024. What a difference a week and some last-minute dynamic pricing make, eh? Last Saturday has been and gone, and so too have the hopes and dreams of many crushed Britpop fans. As for those who found their way to the top of a very long queue? Well, they either walked away in protest at a sudden colossal spike in ticket prices, or they're going to be budgeting hard for the next month to come. Call it dynamic pricing, call it an 'in demand' ticket, call it the price of doing ruthless business, call it plain old greed - whatever the phrasing, Liam and Noel Gallagher find themselves counting an awful lot of cash as many disgruntled fans suffer the cost. On this episode, Dave is joined by Jim Carroll, RTÉ Brainstorm editor and former (well, mostly) outspoken music journalist of renown, to examine the questionable mechanics of the Mancunian money machine.
