You already know we had to continue our discussion about Drake as he decides to sue UMG. We share our thoughts on where we stand in the Kendrick vs. Drake beef.

Speaking of Drake - the man is a legend with his music but the gambling sponsorship shouldn't be normalized. It's like the new tobacco. Except - the tobacco industry has a scheme of their own handing out vape samples to young adults to get them hooked.

How either of these things (promoting gambling and providing vape samples) are socially acceptable and normalized needs to change.

We give our take on all of this in this episode. What are your thoughts on the topics we covered?

More Details below:

Drake's lawsuit against Universal Music Group does show us deeper issues that may or may not be true about streaming manipulation and fake views in the music industry. The ongoing Kendrick and Drake beef and other industry relationships seem to be a big part of modern rap culture.

The episode explores how gambling companies like Stake are leveraging social media with celebrity partnerships and concert promotions, which is concerning because it's exposing the youth to online casinos and gaming/gambling addiction.

We also discuss America's processed food crisis, and how RFK Jr.'s controversial nutrition plan may change all this. The truth is that McDonald's food is mostly preservatives, and it would be nice to enjoy fast food but it not be made with all junk. It's almost like they want to advertise Ozempic while obesity rates climb because of all the horrible food we're eating. It's nice to see around Greater Vancouver vertical farming being talked about by the likes of just_gagan.
