The Vibe Check does sensitivity training. We have four words: Keep That Same Energy. Drake dropped “Her Loss” so we discuss what we are rating it.

What do you guys think about it? There was a funeral for Takeoff on Grand Theft Auto.

Eminem got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and that takes us on a discussion about the rapper.
