I Do It 4 Hip-Hop Podcast

Episode #127 | Let Them Haters See

Drake’s ICEMAN rollout got the culture talking heavy! Did Drake deliver or are fans moving the goal posts again On this episode of I Do It 4 Hip-Hop Podcast, DJ Bugsy, Nine & JK break down the hypocrisy in Hip-Hop when it comes to aging artists, evolution, and double standards. Why is it acceptable for Clipse & Pusha T to rap about the same luxury coke rap themes into their 40s, but Drake gets criticized at 39 for making music for the younger generation? Did Clipse really “evolve” like people claim after Daytona? Or are fans demanding Drake make a “4:44” album before his life even reflects that stage yet? We also discuss:  First reactions to Drake’s ICEMAN  Drake vs J. Cole — who had the better rollout?  Jay-Z’s comments about artists evolving  Kendrick Lamar’s music mysteriously removed from Apple Music & YouTube  Rick Ross getting obsessed with the Drake/Kendrick beef  Meek Mill vs Wale Verzuz — who wins?  “Dreams & Nightmares Intro” ranking among greatest Hip-Hop intros ever to  Why Billboard and major publications continue dropping questionable Hip-Hop lists This episode is for real Hip-Hop heads who are tired of media narratives and industry bias controlling the conversation.  Subscribe to DJ Bugsy & Bugsy Media Group LLC for weekly Hip-Hop debates, music breakdowns, industry talk, and unfiltered culture conversations.
