In this episode, the Noisey staff discusses a question as old as hip-hop itself: What is real hip-hop? And does Drake fit that description? Can upper-middle class rappers even be real hip-hop? Noisey staff writer Lawrence Burney hopped on the podcast alongside returning guest Trey Smith and hosts Eric Sundermann and Dan Ozzi to tackle this divisive issue.
