Summary

It’s a good Friday! Our friend Torae comes in to debate music with us. We discuss the collective hip-hop jumping of 50 Cent, and how it is or isn't affecting his legacy. Jack Harlow’s album dropped - we make predictions, but let us know how you feel about it. A viral list of rappers without a “classic” album sparks a conversation about classic albums in general. We also have some thoughts on Ebro’s message to the average music consumer. Plus, Mal gives us some Iceman insight.
