Growing up, Cam’ron and Mase for two of my favorite rappers but rap is an unfortunate game that doesn’t often see a ton of longevity. So it’s cool to see Cam’ron and Mase make an impact in the podcast space talking sports.
Earlier this week, the hosts of It Is What It Is announced their podcast was signing a lucrative offer with Underdog Fantasy. Congrats to them.
Personally, I think their show sucks. It’s two men who are quickly approaching 50 years of age making “pause” jokes over and over again and snickering to themselves like Beavis and Butthead before providing the most surface-level ‘analysis’ possible.
You could describe It Is What It Is as ‘barbershop” talk as long as you don’t actually think for one second how annoying barbershop talk is. You’re just trying to get a fade and two of the most uninformed assholes are screaming about how one of them stopped watching the Knicks because they didn’t build around Allonzo Trier.
But their music is so important to my life that I am totally okay with them stealing money from Underdog Fantasy to provide entertainment for dads who still keep Bluetooth speakers in their ears.
The first thing Cam’ron and Mase did with their new bag was hand that bag over to Antonio Brown.

Antonio Brown will be joining the cast of It Is What It Is for the NFL season. The show is now made to be viewed from old men putting their little reading glasses down as they try to read the words on their phone screens.
AB is a walking billboard on the perils of contact football and what an active CTE brain looks like. If you like messy, catty bullshit then you are going to love hearing Antonio Brown telling lies about his career or lying about how poorly Tom Brady treated him even though Brady let him live in his house when literally no team in the NFL wanted his ass around.
This is the second biggest Antonio Brown announcement this week. The first one being the warrant for his arrest for his refusal to pay child support. Big summer for AB whose team was kicked out of the Arena Football League for not paying.
It sucks knowing a lot of rappers in the 90s and early 2000s were robbed by their labels—especially Mase since we all know Puff Daddy was eating cavier and feeding his rappers crumbs.
And now once again, Cam’ron and Mase are about to deposit a huge check to a man who is so clearly desperate for funds since he owes everyone money. Antonio Brown might do 2, maybe 3, episodes before he vanishes on them.
Regardless, this show is going to suck.
