Episode 257 of CWTFB Radio brought another round of Red Cups & Ratings, with hosts Charlie MaSheen, Bellez, and Damn Rickk diving into two music projects while also reacting to trending topics—including “The Fall of Diddy” and a viral controversy surrounding Leon Pawn.
Blue Hill Bill – Birds
Blue Hill Bill, formerly known as Billy Escobar, dropped his new album Birds, a 16-track, 42-minute project that the hosts praised for its cohesive production and compelling storytelling. They highlighted his evolution as an artist, the features on the album, and the name change, which they felt was a smart move. The project earned a 4.5 out of 5 Red Cups rating from the hosts.
B Rock – House Fire
B Rock’s House Fire was another standout discussion. The 10-track, 20-minute album was inspired by a real-life fire that destroyed B Rock’s home, with the artist incorporating actual news clips and personal photos into the project. Featuring artists like Blue Hill Bill and Al Deino, the album impressed the hosts for turning a tragic experience into art. They awarded it a perfect 5 out of 5 Red Cups rating.
Beyond the music, the hosts also shared personal stories about family time, go-karting with their kids, and local businesses, including a shoutout to Temple of Groom. The laid-back setting of The Sound Lab in Brockton, Massachusetts, kept the conversation casual, mixing music critiques with personal stories.
Alongside their album reviews, the CWTFB Radio hosts took time to address a social media controversy involving Leon Pawn, who sparked backlash after rating women based on screenshots from a nightlife event video posted by Mike D.
The hosts criticized Leon for:
- Using unflattering screenshots to judge women
- Rating women without their consent
- Hijacking another creator’s content (Mike D) for clout
- Displaying colorist tendencies in his judgments
The conversation took a turn when they decided to flip the script and critique Leon himself, pointing out the irony of him publicly rating others while being subject to the same scrutiny.
They also discussed the broader issue of how men evaluate women’s looks, touching on topics like makeup vs. natural beauty, and why some men put so much emphasis on appearance. The discussion got even more heated when they pointed out that Leon, who dates a white woman, was publicly rating Black women—during Black History Month.
Throughout the episode, the hosts kept the tone unfiltered and casual, reinforcing their stance that publicly judging women based on appearance isn’t a good look.
