A key takeaway is don't make exceptions for your morals and standards. I spoke about a few of my mottos and how making excuses can be dangerous. "Your excuses don't excuse you.".

Then, I analyzed a trending controversial question, "Can you be ratchet and righteous?" that was started by Christian rapper Dee-1 and responded to by Lecrae.

Lastly, I had to call out a few clout chasers, like Lil Tay and Fousey, as an example of what not to do.
