Can song lyrics go too far?  Welcome back listeners!  In this episode we talk take on the topic of how artistry sometimes crosses "the line".  Or is there a line?  Please listen in as we dissect Meek Mill's recent exploit as he mentioned the late and great Kobe Bryant's name in a less then flattering way.  The backlash has been pretty tremendous as even Kobe's widow, Vanessa Bryant, weighed in.  Please listen in as our MPWNN hosts discuss this situation and a few other controversial lyrics and their impact.

Welcome back, good people!  The creator streets have been buzzing over the last couple of weeks.  A settlement was made in the Nicky Minaj Vs Tracy Chapman battle over Minaj's unapproved use of Chapman's "Baby, Can I Hold You?".  Chapman was awarded $450k in the copyright dispute, but the big twist was... the song was never released.  Does this set a new standard for music production?  Please listen in as the pod discusses sampling, covering and the business behind it.

Foreword by Amanda Gorman.  Podcast starts at 05:30

Welcome back, podsters!  Over the last week, there have been a few platforms that have touched on the topic of measuring Jay-Z greatness with that of Drake.  Should the two be compared?  If so, where do they stack up on your charts?  TMPWNN dives in to the new controversial topic and no punches are pulled.  We also talk about the new norm when it comes to social media and music.  The newest start to claim fame from a social media challenge is Erica Banks and her song "Buss It' that has propelled the #bustitchallenge.  We take a deep dive in whether this model is good or bad for the artist.  Can this propel an artist into stardom or does it lock them into a branding they cant shake?  Listen in!

One Gotta Go -   Work from home inspired - You just gotta listen into this one (HA!)
