Sophisticated Ignorance

Nieema wasn't in town this week so Bianca joined in to discuss hip hop & r&b for our music themed episode. We get into Tax pleading guilty to a gun charge, Fabolous getting a key to Brooklyn, XXL's Freshmen list for 2017 & the Carter's great week as Jay Z gets inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame & the arrival of their twins. Our longest episode to date as we discuss how hip hop influences culture, how we feel about the current state of music, the difference between a rapper, an artist, a mc & a lyricist, how the internet changed the game, the death of rap groups, what happened to r&b, the lack of love songs, regional transitions, rappers on the decline, we spotlight some artists & lastly what is the game missing?
