In this episode of The Man Dem Show, Guttzy Guttz and DJ Laz Vagez dive deep into the current state of Toronto media. We break down the controversy surrounding Drake responding to the T.I. rumor after 10 years and why major Toronto blogs (like Keep6ixSolid) refused to cover it while Friday (We Love Hip Hop) went viral.

We also review the new Eddie Murphy documentary (and why it was a letdown), discuss the disturbing incident at Ultraviolet where a bouncer punched a patron, and debate if Mary J. Blige can stand in the ring with Beyoncé.
