Tradin' Places starring...Drake and Kendrick Lamar?
Send us a textEver wondered if the biggest stars in music are genuinely the most talented, or just the most accessible? Join me as I rebrand my podcast from "What's Good" to "On Everything." This transformation parallels my own personal and professional journey, rooted in the streets of Cleveland, Ohio, during the vibrant 80s. Here, under the banner of Open Book Media, I embark on a mission to share untold stories from the black and urban culture of that time. My past as a rapper comes to life as I reflect on my experiences with groups like Rhyme Royal and the 12 Monkeys, and I share my excitement for future creative projects, including an upcoming fiction book.The podcast takes a critical look at the music industry's dynamics, spotlighting the rivalry between artists Drake and Kendrick Lamar. I stir the pot by challenging the idea that popularity equals talent, arguing that media manipulation and accessibility play pivotal roles. With a nod to the classic film "Trading Places," I introduce a theory that likens their rivalry to the movie's plot. Could the music industry be orchestrating a modern-day social experiment, complete with its own "Duke brothers" pulling the strings? My skepticism about Drake’s meteoric rise and Kendrick’s unconventional rhyme schemes adds fuel to this captivating discussion.Finally, let's rethink the very nature of success in the entertainment world. As I explore Drake's potential departure from music, I ponder if he's seeking freedom from the industry's constraints, much like 50 Cent's transition to acting. The conversation considers the broader implications of power and control, drawing parallels to "Trading Places." By examining the uphill battle against industry giants like Universal Music Group, and how algorithms might shape what music gets heard, I invite listeners to question if success is born of talent or nurtured by industry machinery. Join me for a thought-provoking journey that questions the status quo in music and beyond. https://whatsgood.work
