Episode 038 | Hype & Justice

 

This week, we lead off with a controversial moment the internet couldn’t look away from — Adin Ross & Doechii. From “industry plant” accusations to disrespectful comments and Doechii’s slick musical response alongside SZA — we ask the real question: is it colorism, are industry plant conversations ever valid, or are they just lazy ways to dismiss talent when artists break through too fast?

 

From there, we get into Stefon Diggs & the chef lawsuit — should elite athletes be held to higher standards because of their status, or is “better judgment” just a phrase we throw around after things go left? Is accountability really about prevention, or do we only care once the optics look bad?

Next up, we zoom out to the global stage with Trump, Venezuela & the illusion of power. When military action is framed as protection, what’s actually being protected — people, resources, or influence? And how often do we learn the truth behind invasions only after the damage is already done?

Then we settle a Hip-Hop debate: Who had the best run?

Nas — 1994–1996 50 Cent — 2004–2006 Kanye West — 2004-2007 Drake — 2009–2011 Is the greatest run about dominance, impact, or permanently shifting the culture? And does a short, untouchable peak beat a longer run filled with highs, risks, and reinvention?   Premium laughs | Real takes only Welcome to The 8793 Podcast Fueled by #TheAwkwardGeniusNetwork Subscribe on YouTube for weekly episodes #8793Podcast
