Before we get into this week's film and music talk, can we have a little conversation about political leadership in the South? We're looking at you Keisha Lance-Bottoms and Greg Abbott! Our thoughts remain with the people of Texas as ATL braces for a (much less serious) sh*t storm.

On the music side of things, we're perplexed about this upcoming D'Angelo Verzuz and can't quite understand the need or need for secrecy behind the "and friends" part. Speaking of Verzuz, did the energy from 2 Chainz & Rick Ross' battle just spill onto NPR's virtual tiny desk? Also, Cardi B has broken yet another record and Childish Gambino has locked in another deal... and he's bringing Malia Obama with him. Yes y'all: Malia's getting ready to graduate college. Wrap your brain around THAT!
