In the latest episode of "The Great Hip-Hop Debates," the group sits down to speak on the topic of ghostwriting. It's a conversation that's way past due as we've seen ghostwriting take the forefront for hip-hop's most prominent beef of the present, Meek Mill vs. Drake.

The host and guest of this week's episode sit down to speak on the topic of Internet-era babies not being up-to-date on their hip-hop history yet being gatekeepers in the game. They also touch on the “Esco” fiasco during which Twitter users attempted to crucify XXL for calling Nas “Esco” in a picture alongside Diddy and Future.

In the second podcast of 'The Great Hip-Hop Debates" XXL's EIC Vanessa Satten and Torae sit down with rapper Consequence, Power 105's DJ Self and coveted Fox News reporter, Lisa Evers, to discuss the role rappers play in the world. Should they be labeled as "Role Models?" That's the big debate question hosts and guests tackle on this episode of XXL's podcast.
