Doechiis Debütalbum Alligator Bites Never Heal ist ihrer Meinung nach ein Mixtape, das nur einen Monat vor der Veröffentlichung entstanden ist. . Obwohl Doechii das Alias Swamp Princess verwendet und auch im Titel Alligator Bites Never Heal auf ihrer Herkunft aus Tampa Florida anspielt, lebt sie inzwischen in Los Angeles wo auch ihr Label, Top Dawg Entertainment zu Hause ist. Füssig, fokussiert, verspielten und melodisch turnt Doechii durch einen abwechslungsreichen Beat Parkour.Lyrisch beschreibt die 26 Jährige Rapperin ihr Mixtape als therapeutische Unternehmung, es ist viel inhaltlicher Ballast, den sie loswerden musste. .

The track "Drop and Give Me 50," allegedly by Drake, appears to be a scathing response to Kendrick Lamar's "Like That," continuing a longstanding rivalry between the two artists. This potential disstrack intensifies their feud by targeting aspects of Kendrick's personal and professional life, including his stature, family, and his past with his former label, Top Dawg Entertainment. The title of the track itself possibly alludes to rumors about Kendrick's financial obligations to his former label. Additionally, the track features pointed critiques of other industry figures, broadening its scope beyond just Kendrick. Amidst the song's release, there's speculation about its authenticity, whether it's genuinely from Drake or produced by AI, reflecting growing concerns over AI's role in music. The uncertainty adds to the intrigue and debate surrounding the track and the evolution of musical feuds in the digital age. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“Redemption Song” by Bob Marley and the Wailers is one of the ultimate songs about the Black spirit and the immense determination that has gotten us through life in America. I'm talking about a specifically Black determination that has powered our resistance and carried us through life in America. A sense of Black determination that we hear in Redemption Song as well as Sam Cookie's “A Change Gonna Come,” Maya Angelou's “Still I Rise,” and Kendrick's “Alright.” No matter how hard things have been we have always been certain that one day we would overcome.

10 years ago, Connecticut artist, Scrapp Nyce had an opportunity to be the vocals to a now hrammy nominated song by Kendrick Lamar, Backseat Freestyle. A song that is played in multiple tv shows and moves and the part you hear the most, the most iconic part is from Scrapp Nyce, after blessing the track with his own creativity and artistry. The TDE love what was sent over. But you must wonder, where is Scrapp today? Where did that opportunity lead him? well we brought him to tell the story from his own perspective, not from the eyes of outside or from the “i would've done this if it was me” people. He is blessed for his opportunity and a decade later there is no hard feelings and musically he is now thriving more than couldve imagined. According to him the curse from the TDE team has officially been lifted. A curse that led to him understanding the music business more, for what it is, a business and to starting his own label.

"family ties" is Keem's third release of 2021, following "durag activity" ft. Travis Scott and "no sense."

For this episode of the show, we talk about Kendrick Lamar's recent announcement that he was leaving his long time label Top Dawg Entertainment after his next full length album. The marauders ask what is Kendrick's next move after he drops his album and then wonder if the label will still be strong without Kendrick? Next up, we speak on a potential TDE vs. Dreamville Verzuz battle after Dreamville label rapper Bas appearing on a Power 106 radio interview in LA and speaking about who the label should face if a Verzuz battle were able to happen. After that, with Lil Nas X having the best year of his career, he had a lot to say about skateboarding god Tony Hawk using his own blood to be mixed in with paint to sell future skateboards after calling him out due to Lil Nas X using the same tactic to sell shoes a few months ago (See Episode 21). We ask if Lil Nas X is right to call out Tony Hawk for using that same ploy and if people should be outraged on Tony Hawk using blood for skateboards. Later on, we had news on Drake reportedly dropping Certified Lover Boy on September 3 due to "feed interference" during Friday morning's (August 27) episode of ESPN's Sportscenter. With his last album Scorpion getting subpar reviews from fans and critics alike, we ask if Drake's next album is do or die especially considering since he is one of the best in the game today and is one of the highest selling rappers today. All that plus, we rank diss tracks, we give shoutouts and a whole lot more!

Terrence “Punch” Henderson is the president of Top Dawg Entertainment, the small but mighty Carson, California based record label that's home to some of the most innovative and influential artists in the music business, like Kendrick Lamar and SZA. Punch - who is a rapper himself, as well as a producer, executive, and artist whisperer - started working with the label back in the early 2000s when it was still run out of his cousin, founder and CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith's house. Lizzy asks Punch about his approach to blending art with business, which he regularly muses about in his unusually philosophical and funny social media posts.

Today's passage, “You take two strangers and put ‘em in random predicaments Give 'em a soul so they can make their own choices and live with it.”Kendrick Lamar won the Pulitzer Prize for Music for his 2017 album, “DAMN.” It was the first non-classical or jazz album to win a Pulitzer for “A virtuosic song collection unified by its vernacular authenticity and rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of modern African-American life.”On the surface, this prolific album was filled with songs that could be described as, and I am dating myself here, “summer joints.” However, when you dig a bit deeper into the meaning of the lyrics, you recognize this album is densely spiritual. The last song on this album “Duckworth” is by far and large my favorite because it deals with questions around cause and effect, the randomness or perhaps predetermined events that happen in our in correlation with whether or not we have free will.Kendrick Lamar also references a book in the Bible, Deuteronomy, when he raps that “wickedness” was broken through submission to God, and as a result, karma brought about redemption and ultimately world-wide success for himself.In the song, “Duckworth” Kendrick Lamar's Dad, Ducky, and Anthony “Top Dawg” , the founder of Top Dawg Entertainment, which produces Kendrick's music albums have a past encounter that is told through the unveiling of the song. It so happens that many years before Anthony founded “Top Dog” he nearly could have killed Kendrick Lamar's Father, Ducky. Instead, Anthony spared Ducky's life. It is amazing to me the series of events that would have never unfolded if Ducky had been killed that day. never have realized what would become of it.The backstory is this... In 1984, Anthony robbed the chicken restaurant where Ducky, Kendrick Lamar's Father, worked. Anthony liked Ducky and let him live. Had he shot him, Anthony wouldn't have founded the music label Top Dawg that would later produce Ducky's son's music. Obviously, Anthony would be in prison and Kendrick would have grown up without a Father figure role model and would have perhaps never made music as a result. It's funny how the worst of times and the best of times always land us exactly where we need to be.Song lyrics go: “pay attentionThat one decision changed both of they lives, one curse at a timeReverse the manifest and good karma, and I'll tell you whyYou take two strangers and put 'em in random predicamentsGive 'em a soul, so they can make their own choices and live with itTwenty years later, them same strangers, you make 'em meet againInside recording studios where they reapin' their benefitsThen you start remindin' them about that chicken incidentWhoever thought the greatest rapper would be from coincidence?Because if Anthony killed Ducky, Top Dawg could be servin' lifeWhile I grew up without a father and die in a gunfight”Connect with me: Instagram.com/megan_nycmom Brain scans show1 that when a person hears information that disproves a belief of theirs, instead of their brain's cognitive centres lighting up (like you might expect), the emotional centres become active instead.So, perhaps disappointingly, our first instinct on hearing information that disproves our own beliefs is to rally our defences against that new information.This, for me, explains so much about human behaviour that we put together a video discussing the nature of beli
