In this episode of "Last Long Standing," co-hosts Cole Kushner and Charles Holmes continue their debate-driven journey to crown the greatest album of the 21st century. They address listener feedback regarding previous album pairings and emphasize the difficulty of their selection process. This episode features MF Doom's "Madvillainy" against Clipse's "Hell Hath No Fury," which they see as honoring a subgenre of hip hop. They discuss the influence and historical context of both albums, including their initial reception and later acclaim, and the impact of the internet on their popularity. The hosts engage in album trivia, analyze the biggest songs, best songs, worst songs, best deep cuts, and best moments from each album, and debate the merits of each in a head-to-head comparison. Ultimately, they strike a deal to advance Madvillainy and Discovery, and the episode concludes with a cultural exchange segment where they discuss The Killers' "Hot Fuss" and The Strokes' "Is This It."
