What part of the game is that?

Ever wondered why a famous 90s rapper might feel let down by today's concert crowds? Join us as Your host O.G. GOAT and Shariff from Queens sheds light on the evolving landscape of hip hop and the generational divide that's causing ripples in the music world. His efforts to introduce younger adults to old-school beats to their undeniable preference for modern trap music, Shariff brings a heartfelt perspective on how every era reshapes this dynamic genre.

Switching gears, we tackle the pressing issue of modernizing education to foster safer communities. Despite lottery funds supposedly earmarked for schools, our institutions often lag behind in technology and resources. Smart boards and tablets are simply not enough; we need a curriculum that genuinely engages students. With comparisons drawn from both public schools and the healthcare sector, we delve into the challenges and potential solutions for making education a catalyst for reducing crime rates. Join our debate on the reliability of technology in these crucial sectors and how updated learning tools can better stimulate young minds.
We wrap up with a nostalgic homage to hip hop's pioneers and an appreciation for the technological strides that have transformed the industry. Remembering the high costs and rarity of early cell phones, we pay tribute to icons like Nas, Jay-Z, and Biggie Smalls, who climbed the heights of success through sheer grit and innovation. We also highlight Ralph McDaniels’ invaluable contributions via his live Instagram sessions and Video Music Box shows. Special thanks to Sharif for his insights, and a heartfelt shoutout to our audience for tuning in. Don't miss out on this rich tapestry of hip hop history and modern-day reflections!
