Today the podcast, joined by returning guest embraced, discusses Carti's evolution on this project, the compositions and possible inspirations going into this project, and the cast of guest features littered throughout the project; including the controversial Kendrick Lamar appearances, and some of the host's contested views on Travis Scott's features.
