July is not only bringing the heat temperature wise, it’s been bringing the heat musically too! We’ve been getting new music left and right. Drake himself has been teasing “ICEMAN” and took the stage at UK’s annual fest, Wireless Festival. Join me as I unpack two highly anticipated drops: Clipse’s return after nearly 16 years with “Let God Sort Em Out” and Travis Scott with the crew on “JACKBOYS 2”!

We’ve all had that parasocial moment—when an artist’s music feels personal, like they get you. But what happens when the idols start moving like incels? This week, on episode 13, I sit down with Kris Chesson, one half of the Bad Queers Podcast, to unpack the complicated rise and fall of some of hip-hop’s biggest names: Kanye West and Young Money's favorites, Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne.

From Through the Wire to CLB, from the backpack era to MAGA flirtations and messy lawsuits, from Itty Bitty Piggy to Big Foot—this episode traces the cultural shift that turned these stars into ego-driven incels. Time to answer the question that’s been brewing for a decade: When did it all start to go left?

Also on deck:

• A review of Brooklyn the Kid’s unapologetic anthem “Dyke Lee”
• Our personal timelines with Ye, Drizzy, Weezy, and Nicki

No stanning. Just honesty.
Because The Culture Decides.
