TAJ & Will start the podcast by showing love to DMX and talking about what made him so unique and transcend hip-hop. They also talk about celebrating legends and barrier breakers while they're here, spirituality, and assumptions about addiction. Then, they discuss the attention-seekers of social media and the desire to be "first to report" clashing with integrity and ethics in journalism (28:20). TAJ & Will also veer into an honest conversation about self-empowerment (47:30) and a common mistake people make when getting into relationships (54:00). Then, they wonder if there should be a day of "no social media access" each year (58:00). They conclude this episode with appreciation for Earth, Wind & Fire and the Isley Brothers after their incredible Verzuz battle (1:02:30). Rest In Peace, Earl Simmons!
