Hip Hop vs The Grammys | Could Kanye's canceled performance lead to revolution? 1:02:59

3 years ago1:02:59

1:02:59

The Grammys cancelled a performance by Kanye West at the 2022 award show. And it's not sitting well with everyone. J Prince wrote a long Twitter thread about it. Dame Dash expressed his frustrations. It's just the latest in a long history of suspect behavior by the Recording Academy when it comes to their treatment of Black artists. We dive into what the legendary executives had to say on the matter as well as spend nearly an hour hearing what artists like Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, Kanye, Halsey, Pink, and many more had to say about their experience with the Academy.

Pete Davidson texts Kanye West: A Breakdown 46:01

3 years ago46:01

46:01

Pete Davidson had Dave Sirus post to instagram a text message conversation between Pete and Kanye. And it is outrageous. Pete goes from standing up for himself to lecturing Kanye to offering mental health help to calling out Ye as a man. It's a smorgasbord of energy, all of which probably just complicates matters. Maybe things have to get messy before they get better? But I don't think any of this really accomplishes anything.

Part 1 of Jeen-Yuhs was securing the record deal. Part 2 was actually getting the record done. And Part 3 was...well. Everything else. And we mean EVERYTHING! Part 3 of Coodie and Chike's documentary about Kanye West is wildly ambitious and enthralling. But what is it truly about? What can we take away from the 4.5 hour experience?
