Luca and Anthony of the NFR Podcast put their taste—and friendship—on the line in a chaotic, hilarious game of blind rankings. From cringeworthy deep cuts by rap legends to the Mount Rushmore of Atlanta, the duo battle through seven unpredictable categories, flipping coins, exchanging jabs, and letting the audience decide who comes out on top.
The twist? Neither host knows what’s coming next—and one bad placement could cost them the round and future humiliation (like getting shot with a paintball gun, a punishment teased from past episodes).
Each round sees Luca and Anthony taking turns ranking five songs, albums, or artists without knowing what the next option will be. Here’s a quick rundown:
1. Bad Songs by Great Rappers
Cringe meets controversy as Eminem’s “Fack,” Drake’s “Gently,” and Kendrick Lamar’s “No Makeup” lead the pack of questionable hits from elite MCs.
Hot Take: Luca crowned “Fack” as #1 worst, while Anthony stuck Kendrick’s “No Makeup” at the top of his list.
2. Ranking Future’s Albums
Future’s discography proves divisive. Disagreements sparked over where albums like “I Never Liked You” and “Pluto x Baby Pluto” deserved to land.
Key Clash: “High Off Life” drew contrasting opinions on its long-term replay value.
3. Annoying Hit Songs
Pop culture’s most divisive bops—think “What Does the Fox Say” and “First Class” by Jack Harlow—got slotted into this brutal list.
Surprise Pick: Sam Smith’s “Unholy” ignited debate on overexposure vs. artistic intent.
4. Songs from the Same Album
Kanye’s Donda and Metro Boomin’s Heroes & Villains were centerpieces for intra-album ranking debates.
Emotional Split: “Moon” sparked clashing views, with one host ranking it high for vibes, the other dismissing it as forgettable.
5. Diss Tracks
A bloodbath of rap beef. Tracks like “The Story of Adidon,” “Rap Devil,” and “Meet the Grahams” pushed both hosts to weigh lyrical venom vs. cultural impact.
Anthony’s Shock Move: Ranked Machine Gun Kelly’s “Rap Devil” over some Jay-Z cuts.
6. Albums with 5B+ Streams
Frank Ocean’s Blonde, Kanye’s The Life of Pablo, and Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die all made the cut.
Key Disagreement: One host argued After Hours was overrated in terms of streams vs. depth.
7. Atlanta Rappers
OutKast, Gucci, Thugger, Future, 21 Savage, Jeezy—this final round turned into a full-on ATL history lesson.
Major Dispute: Where do Big Boi and Andre 3000 rank in a list skewing toward trap?
With each round ending in blistering back-and-forths, the hosts go from laughing to shouting—constantly claiming victory. Occasional co-host Nick offers a tiebreaker, but rarely seems invested, adding to the comedy.
Throughout, the guys tease their Patreon for unfiltered reactions and hint at deep dives into Lil Wayne’s upcoming “Carter 6.”
Both hosts declare themselves winners—but the real judge is the comment section. NFR invites fans to decide who ranked best, who flopped hardest, and who’s due for paintball punishment next episode.
