What is the difference between "highbrow" and "lowbrow" art? Is there a distinction between the two at all, or are the categories just social constructions? Can certain genres have their own, built-in hierarchies of high brow and low brow? And how does the high vs. low distinction apply to hip-hop? Episode 8 of the Now That You Mention It podcast features Kevin and Dane arguing about elitism, populism, the properties of "high" vs. "low" art, MF DOOM, Kendrick Lamar, and more.

As for the opening: Kevin introduces a new segment, Dane has an infuriating experience at Urban Outfitters, and the two revisit a discussion on race relations as applied to food.
