Be honest… What rap album do you wish you could hear again for the first time? 💿

Pam Grier for PLAYERS (1976)

This cast is too old to always be talking about the club. "I can't wait to hear how that new Drake sounds outside." Old ass...

Rob Base, one-half of Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock, who was best known for the hit “It Takes Two,” has died at 59 from cancer. “Rob’s music, energy, and legacy helped shape a generation and brought joy to millions around the world. Beyond the stage, he was a loving father, family man, friend, and creative force whose impact will never be forgotten,” reads a statement on his social media account. “Thank you for the music, the memories, and the moments that became the soundtrack to our lives.” variety.com/2026/music/new…

The Drake analysis on today's episode is so disappointing, especially coming from 40/50 year-old men. Like the music if you like the music but don't be disingenuous with a so-called psychological analysis of his internal contemplation and alleged growth.

Thank God that as a young person I was not hardheaded and did not need to experience all of those things that my elders warned me to avoid.

Neither of us will heal if we both are trying to prove who has been hurt the most.

My compliments are specific, well-deserved, and authentically inspired.
