What did J. Cole's apology teach us? Do Black Men feel compelled to lead with aggression in today's society?

🎉 Also, celebrate with us as we dive into Nas' Illmatic at 30: a true Hip-Hop Milestone! 🎤 We pay tribute with a nice medley to kick the show off. Brocky will dive deeper into what Illmatic meant to him on next week's episode. For now, enjoy these tunes!

Tune in as we also discuss broader themes in the music world, including the portrayal of black men in media, the evolution of artist legacies, and the importance of self-awareness in the industry. 🌍 We dissect how past behaviors can tint the legacies of beloved artists and delve into discussions on leading with compassion over aggression.

This isn't just a music review; it's a deep dive into the elements that shape our culture and how influential albums like Illmatic contribute to societal conversations. 🗣️
