"I don’t know that battling needs to be a part of the culture anymore." - Jay-Z.
Hov just broke his silence in a massive GQ cover story, and he’s coming for the foundations of the game. He claims breakdancing is dead, and now he’s questioning if Battle Rap even belongs in Hip Hop anymore. Is this "growth," or is the billionaire mogul officially out of touch with the streets? The DQM crew goes in on this one.
Is the Lil Wayne "Top 10" conversation officially closed, or are we trippin? On this episode of Don't Quote Me, the cast gets into a heated debate over the "Time Capsule" argument - which rappers will actually be talked about 100 years from now? Plus, Eli compares NBA YoungBoy’s cultural impact to Eminem, and we break down why the Nicki Minaj discourse has finally reached a boiling point.
