There are a lot of rappers with "lil" in their name, so what better way to discuss it then to quiz each other on who is who.  Rappers putting "Lil" at the beginning on their names is so prevalent that it's often become a point of parody for those seeking to make fun of rap music. Some rappers opt to shed their "Lil" moniker once they get older, like Bow Wow for instance. Whatever the reasons for the prevalence of the "Lil" prefix, it's become an central piece of rap culture.  With the birth of Soundcloud era of rap, the amount of "Lil" rappers in the world appears to have grown significantly. According to popular music streaming service, Spotify, 33 of the top 1000 songs of 2018 have been by or featured a "Lil" artist. This marks a 106% increase over last year, and an insane 725% increase over 2016.  In an interesting piece of data analysis, Spotify listed the top 200 "Lil" rappers currently on the platform. While that may seem like a lot, this is only a small piece of the over 8000 artists with "Lil" in their name that have music streaming on the platform.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tony-henderson7/support

We just got back Atlanta Comic Con, and San Diego Comic Con is wrapping up so we wanted to chat a little bit about the different comic book conventions and what they all mean. Comic-cons were traditionally organized by fans on a not-for-profit basis, though nowadays most events catering to fans are run by commercial interests for profit. Many conventions have award presentations relating to comics (such as the Eisner Awards, which have been presented at San Diego Comic-Con International since 1988; or the Harvey Awards, which have been presented at a variety of venues also since 1988). At commercial events, comic book creators often give out autographs to the fans, sometimes in exchange for a flat appearance fee, and sometimes may draw illustrations for a per-item fee. Commercial conventions are usually quite expensive and are hosted in hotels. This represents a change in comic book conventions, which traditionally were more oriented toward comic books as a mode of literature, and maintained a less caste-like differentiation between professional and fan. The first official comic book convention was held in 1964 in New York City and was called New York Comicon. Early conventions were small affairs, usually organized by local enthusiasts (such as Jerry Bails, later known as the "Father of Comic Fandom", and Dave Kaler of the Academy of Comic-Book Fans and Collectors), and featuring a handful of industry guests. The first recurring conventions were the Detroit Triple Fan Fair, which ran from 1965–1978, and Academy Con, which ran from 1965–1967. Many recurring conventions begin as single-day events in small venues, which as they grow more popular expand to two days, or even three or more every year. Many comic-cons which had their start in church basements or union halls now fill convention centers in major cities. Thank you for the podcast reviews!
