We gave our full reaction to J. Cole’s “The Fall Off,” broke down the NY vs NY tension between Tony Yayo and Ja Rule, and discussed what LaRussell signing to Roc Nation really means for independent artists. Is New York competitive again or just chasing moments? On the relationship side, we debated Valentine’s Day expectations, when it’s appropriate to bring an ex around, whether men and women can truly be platonic, private vs public school, and the question that always sparks controversy — are “pretty women” boring or is that just projection? We also reacted to the Super Bowl halftime show and ads, discussed Trump’s tweet about the Obamas, Ghislaine Maxwell pleading the 5th, and closed with real game for content creators — whose content we actually watch and the keys to building something that lasts.
