A little while ago, Complex named 21 Savage the best rapper of 2022, and as per usual, I had some thoughts. With that, there's a few other things to discuss this week, such as Yachty's album, Zaytoven selling his catalog, and Run-DMC officially breaking up.   

This podcast is a little different than others, as it was done on Twitch. There's a good chance this will be the format going forward, so let me know what you think!
