The Bigger Picture
09/22/24 • 107 min
In this episode, the guys couldn’t avoid the Diddy in the room. DJ Hed, Elliott Wilson and Jeremy Hecht discuss the ramifications of Diddy’s indictment, how it affects Hip Hop and how much further beyond Hip Hop it could go. Elliott even shares a wild story where Diddy told him to ask about Tupac (7:00). They talk about the one person who is loving all of the news, 50 Cent and DJ Hed actually used the word love for the first time (55:00). They talk about how much lyricism matters in today’s music, sparked by the editorial desk of Russ (1:00:000), Playboi Carti sounding like Future on “All Red” (1:04:00), reactions to Complex’s best rappers in their 20s list and DJ Hed even makes his own list (1:09:00). Elliott has a theory about Nicki Minaj’s album drop involving Cardi B (1:23:00), DJ Hed heard conflicting reports about Drake turning down the Super Bowl (1:15:000), Jeremy heard a theory about First Person Shooter that could add meaning to Kendrick’s Not Like Us lyrics about J. Cole (1:38:00) and of course, the guys give a spotlight to some artists they like right now (1:44:00).
