Rap or Go To The League/Cancel Culture/The Return of R&B

In this week's episode, we discuss 2 Chainz's new album, Rap or Go To The League. You're probably thinking who listens to 2 Chainz. Stop It. The man has a very consistent fanbase and has been quite successful both in and out of the rap game for the last few years. In that regard, he deserves to have his album judged fairly. Should it be contender for Album of The Year (AOTY) in the future?

Next, let’s talk about the "cancel/mute" culture surrounding artists such as R.Kelly and the late Michael Jackson due to recently released documentaries. There is a lot to unpackage that surrounds these controversies as well as the value of public opinion in this space. This is as black and white of an issue as it seems on the surface because we all need to self reflect on what's happening in our daily discourse. And how we are influenced to rush to judgment without researching or choosing to turn a blind eye. Hopefully, this segment gives a broader perspective on the ephemeral nature of cancel culture and discuss the role of accountability for all in these changing times. Please recognize this video does not even come close to covering all the necessary talking points but we try to discuss points that delve a little deeper than the current discussions. Think of this as a Public Service Announcement.  

After reading a recent Vibe article that discussed the evolution and destruction of predominantly male R&B groups, we needed to delve into this topic. As you know the decline of Hip Hop and R&B is a frequent theme of this show and we delve into a different area in this episode. Hopefully, when it's all said and done, these episodes culminate to give you the viewers, a complete picture of what is happening to these genres as we grow. Lastly, we discuss the potential return of R&B back to form and when we foresee the resurgence coming. 

As always thanks for listening and if you want more episodes remember to subscribe/follow.
