Ep. 7: Rap Beef

Rap beef has been and continues to be a major facet of the genre. Rap is unique in the fact that artists will directly attack one another on tracks, sparring with beats, rhymes, and flows—and sometimes, this conflict extends to real-life violence. All of this happens in the pursuit of status as the best in the game, a dynamic not dissimilar to a boxer laying claim to being the greatest. From The Bridge Wars to Kendrick v. Drake join us as we explore the history of rap beef. Like the podcast? If so, leave us a 5-star rating and smash that subscribe button so we can keep the good times rolling.

The Warrens, as they were known, were pioneers in the field of paranormal research. Their cases have become box office gold in the form of The Conjuring Film Universe. But here's the real question: How accurate are these movies? Were the Warrens truly kind-hearted ghostbusters, or just a pair of con artists looking for a spooky story to exploit and turn into a bestseller? Like the podcast?
