Ep 134

In this episode of The Stem Society, Cole Jackson breaks down two conversations that are really about the same thing: legacy in hip-hop.

Cole reacts to The Game claiming he’s the best rapper on the West Coast, and why Kendrick Lamar’s name immediately entered the conversation. Is greatness about pure skill, or do catalog, impact, and how an artist moves over time matter more?

The episode then shifts to the end of Ebro in the Morning on Hot 97, and why radio still plays a role in hip-hop culture — but only if it evolves in a podcast-driven era.

This isn’t about nostalgia or taking sides. It’s about how hip-hop decides who gets the crown, and how media platforms survive when the culture changes.
