This week, we’re starting off hot reacting to the Druski skit backlash — is the media overreacting or are comedians finally being held accountable?

From there, we get into Tyrese vs. Tank — the R&B Verzuz people di...

This week, we’re kicking things off with a bold one — Jay-Z says no rapper alive can stand on stage with him. Is Hov right? Can anyone — Drake, Wayne, or Kanye — go hit-for-hit?
