2J3BD

ItsTheReal

2J3BD is the collaboration of comedian brothers Eric and Jeff Rosenthal of ItsTheReal and legendary rappers Styles P, Sheek Louch and Jadakiss of The LOX. Each episode is a dynamic conversation between two sets of best friends who all grew up ten minutes from each other, but under completely different circumstances; the discussions touch on deep, thoughtful and utterly ridiculous subject matter and bring up the most random and fascinating stories. It's amazingly unique and undeniably entertaining

Who's the Most G in "Tropic Thunder"? | 2J3BD G Bracket
Who’s the most G in Tropic Thunder? Eric and Jeff Rosenthal, Styles P and Sheek Louch settle it in the 2nd edition of the 2J3BD G Bracket, where Les Grossman, Tugg Speedman and 14 more characters go into the jungle and only one comes out. Seeded 1 through 16, March Madness style: Tom Cruise's Les Grossman (Oscar-worthy, per the crew), Ben Stiller's Tugg Speedman, Robert Downey Jr.'s Kirk Lazarus, Jack Black's Jeff Portnoy (he did eat a bat), Alpa Chino, Four Leaf, Sandusky, the Flaming Dragons and more, with Tyra Banks and Maria Menounos as cameo wildcards. Johan is the tiebreaker, and nobody's thrilled about it. Styles lays down the law early: "You can't act like a G. You gotta be G." Then the arguments start: whether a con man can be G when he's high off his own supply, whether you can be G without loyalty ("You can't be a G if you're not loyal"), and whether you want a shark for an agent, especially one who'll fight this hard for your TiVo. Watch to the end to see who takes the whole bracket. PLUS: Sheek's new hobby at the shooting range, a Tropic Thunder rating that won't stop climbing, and a sneak peek at the next G Bracket.
