Episode 110: "King's Disease" Review (aka "No such thing as opinions")
I’m getting mad all over again listening to this episode! When legends like Nas drop, we should just be able to appreciate the music. But of course, what started out as our takes on “King’s Disease” (03:35) quickly led to some passionate discussions about whether or not this was a “forced” collaboration (27:40), the difference between reinvention and experimentation (50:40), a brief convo about the nuance of subjectivity (56:00), a quest to establish when Milan became the only person on earth whose opinions are universal facts (1:05:16), and more. One of the most frustrating conversations we’ve had in a while, but it’s exactly the type of hip hop debate we love to have. Recorded prior to Chadwick Boseman’s passing, we of course honor him and send love to all of us—but especially his family—who will miss his presence. That said, come #PullUpAChair, press play, and let us know what you think in the comments.
