Another new month, another brand new episode of the podcast. Despite the technical difficulties and late post, Nick and Jared are here to give inputs on this episode and we kick things off with all things Kanye West and his rollercoaster of a week. We start with the timeline of everything that has happened to Kanye since the last episode with him being on HBO\'s The Shop and having that episode pulled to his controversial and damning appearance on N.O.R.E.\'s Drink Champs interview (and later pulled off the Internet) to him losing over $600 million due to his remarks. We go through each point that has happened with him, give our thoughts and say if we are done with Kanye\'s BS antics and ask what does it take to finally not pay attention to him. Next, the ladies come out and are ready to fight as Nicki Minaj and Latto go head to head via Twitter due to Nicki\'s single "Super Freaky Girl" being nominated for the pop Grammy categories despite it being a rap song. Minaj took to Twitter and called out Latto\'s "Big Energy" single for being nominated and then the two slowly starting back and forth on the platform. We ask ourselves which female is in wrong for the whole spat and ask if there\'s a such thing as female unity in hip hop. After that, while speaking on the Grammy\'s, what do Drake, The Weeknd and Silk Sonic all have in common besides being artists? All three artists are starting to withdraw from the 2023 Grammy Awards due to reasons that we\'ll explain on the segment. We ask if their reasons are legit for bowing out of the ceremony and ask (again?) if hip hop needs the Grammy\'s or if they need hip hop. All that plus, Halloween release One Gotta Go, shoutouts, album recommendations and a lot more!!
