Every morning I'll be dropping my own thoughts and perspectives on things happening in the world, in Hip-Hop, and whatever catches my eye. Stay tuned because things will only get better. Peace!

In this episode of The "What Up, Joe?" Podcast we begin discussing the curated assassination attempt of Donald Trump at his recent rally, what it does to his supporters and the use of fear through propaganda in relation to Project 25. We get into a discussion about Bloodmoney's Eminem fandom and debate on his status as one of the GOATS in Hip-Hop and the criteria we use to measure the greats in competitive sports. Last but not least we end the discussion with the topic of art & taste levels in Hip-Hop. With the impact the culture has on the world, should Hip-Hop be something we be a bit more bougie about?
