We’re checking in to talk about comments Jay-Z made during an interview with GQ in which he says despite being a billionaire, morality is what compromises someone well before they become successful and he didn’t take advantage of people to get there; and that the persistent idea that rich people are bad is false. Plus, J.Cole discussing his competitiveness when making music and the fact that him claiming to be the best is a persona and not real, and Meta and YouTube being ordered to pay $6 million as part of a social media addiction lawsuit. We also talk about Toosii joining LSU as a freshman wide receiver, Michael Jordan’s belief that there’s no such thing as a GOAT, and the controversy surrounding Fruit Love Island.

Hang with us as we discuss comedian Deon Cole receiving hateful DMs from apparent Nicki Minaj fans online after he roasted her during his hosting gig at the NAACP Image Awards, Amanda Seales calling Ryan Coogler a hypocrite for attending the Oscars despite his movies attesting to cultural appropriation and race, and NBA player Luke Kornet appealing to the NBA to step in and put a stop to the Atlanta Hawks’ planned Magic City Night.

Rather, he suggests that data supports the idea that systemic inequality creates hip-hop, thus the problem isn’t the music, but inequality itself. Let’s dive in!
