Summary
Eddin rejoins the show fresh off a trip to Puerto Rico with Bad Bunny stories, green-card marriage jokes, and more (1:07). SaVon and Alex then announce a giveaway for listeners and plug a new Patreon-exclusive episode (15:12) before debating if bachelor’s degrees still matter, the value of networking, retail grind struggles, trade paths, and how chasing virality can damage long-term growth (21:46). Next, Bryson Tiller’s comments about hating fame, preferring writing/game design, and why artists should do media (35:28). A heated debate follows on Beyoncé’s producer credit, ghostwriting in hip-hop, and how to classify Drake among lyricists vs. artists (46:24). The crew then breaks down Complex’s “Best Rappers in Their 20s,” from Cash Cobain and G Herbo to Rod Wave and Sexy Redd (57:43), including the viral CIA conspiracy around Agent Bow Bow (1:02:12). SaVon has Eddin and Alex guess the top ten artists with the most songs on Spotify with over a billion streams (1:24:00), and the episode closes with Drake and Bobbi Althoff’s new podcast trailer and a discussion on Drake’s relationship with Hip-Hop media (1:34:43).
