We give Misa Hylton her flowers for all that that she's done in making generations after her feel comfortable to show skin in the game.

Our first episode back has tackling some heavy topics with the subject of HBO Max's documentary, On The Record. The controversial piece of work was the talk of the town once Oprah jumped ship, so the team had to sit down and watch. We discuss the stories of the Black women affected and the sordid story of hip-hop, in its relation to the objectification of women of color. Talib Kweli is a troll. We all know this. With his "Blackstar" days behind him, he's put down the mic and picked up a keyboard to do his talking and Black women happen to be on the other end of his words. No bueno. Verzuz has been a bright spot for all of us in the music community during these times of distance. Cosi & Uchechi talk the good, the bad, and the ugly that Swizz & Timbo have offered us so far.

How will you rate 2018 among the most recent years in the game? We've seen the rise of some (Pusha T, Nipsey Hussle, Cardi B) to the fall of others (Tekashi, Nicki Minaj, Quavo) and a major comeback (Meek Mill). Uchechi gives us her list of the top 5 L-takers in 2018, what trends we'd like to leave behind and what this Jay-Z Tidal playlist does for established artist, but doesn't do for women in the game. We welcome back Corey (OPP & Silent Giants Pod) to sit down and talk us through why the internet is truly disappointing and why it's bringing down our standards of all that we take in.
