In this episode, I share updates on why my recent content has focused solely on the upcoming elections, just 3 days away, and the importance of staying informed. I discuss the trend of artists going independent and their frustrations with record labels, as well as the changing landscape of the music industry. I explore my theory that music isn’t evolving as it once did, attributing it to a lack of competition and the diminishing drive among young artists to excel.
I also dive into Jermaine Dupri’s thoughts on the battle between physical and digital marketing, and I address Young Thug’s recent release from prison, including his 15 years of probation and the implications of the RICO Act being used to advance district attorneys' careers. Additionally, I touch on Ari Lennox's beef with Dreamville and discuss Drake's struggle to find his sound after the beef.
I also reflect on the culture surrounding the honoring of athletes with statues, questioning why we don’t celebrate everyday heroes in the same way. Lastly, I explore how we often judge historical figures based on a small part of their lives, even as we take down statues of generals once seen as heroes during the Civil War.
Join me for a thought-provoking conversation that tackles these pressing issues!
