SUMMARY In this dope ass episode of the show, we're talmbout mature bars. As an artist matures, should their content mature with them? Or should they keep giving the people the original work their fans came to love them for?

SHOUTS Inkquisitive - Therm shouted this account because he loves IG hip hop art.

The Tea Factor - Rose shouted this account out because he said before man touch road, they must drink a tea.

Trap_n_veggies - Rose shouted them because it's a vegan page that's also doing clothing (even though he fell off the vegan wagon and was eating Popeye's right before the show started).

Rexbespokeclothing - J-Boss shouted the company that is ran by his bruv and friend of the show, Collie. Hit them up for dope ass, custom made suits.

Spex of Time - J-Boss shouted Spex out because they got fire vintage frames and now some exclusive hats. Hit them up to see what's goodington. It's summertime.

MAIN TOPIC Nicki Minaj went all the way off in a woman's DM for giving her opinion on her music. The main pernt of her critique was to say that Nicki is getting older, but her music isn't. We centered the show around this. Was the woman correct? Also, is this critique only reserved for women in the game? And what about the fans? Will the fans even be receptive if the artist decides to switch it up?

EXTENDED CLIP After the main topic, Big Yerms had one more thing he wanted to ask. What other rappers have actually transitioned out of rap confortably? Maybe these artists couldn't mature their bars or didn't feel the need to, so they pivoted into something else.
