Before we get into this week's film and music talk, can we have a little conversation about political leadership in the South? We're looking at you Keisha Lance-Bottoms and Greg Abbott! Our thoughts remain with the people of Texas as ATL braces for a (much less serious) sh*t storm.

On the music side of things, we're perplexed about this upcoming D'Angelo Verzuz and can't quite understand the need or need for secrecy behind the "and friends" part. Speaking of Verzuz, did the energy from 2 Chainz & Rick Ross' battle just spill onto NPR's virtual tiny desk? Also, Cardi B has broken yet another record and Childish Gambino has locked in another deal... and he's bringing Malia Obama with him. Yes y'all: Malia's getting ready to graduate college. Wrap your brain around THAT!

Well, Hip-Hoppers: in case you were wondering, it's STILL a sabotage when Jay-Z drops something on a Nas release date because they're literally on the same project. This week the two legends deliver proof that they're still at the top of their game on the official soundtrack to "Jesus And The Black Messiah" - with Hov hopping on a posthumous Nipper Hussle track and Nas going back in to make magic with Hit-Boy. 

This week we're also discussing the undeniable business savvy of Taylor Swift; how The Weeknd won the Superbowl... and OMG, WANDAVISION!!

Let's just go ahead and get this out of the way: what part of Philly cosigned THIS, Lil Uzi Vert??

Okay, sorry. Moving past the diamond in a man's forehead, this week brings us an official Coming 2 America trailer, which had Tai very excited... until Ciz started questioning the plot holes, lol. We're also talking Golden Globe nominations and how the diversity ain't as deep as they'd like you to think; new moves by Joe Budden, a new Nipsey film, an explanation from the Weeknd that literally no one even cares about anymore, and the dumbest man in UK radio.

Plus, we've got new music by Nore, Selena Gomez, JoJo, Brent Fyaz and Max B - who has clearly uncovered the Vybz Kartel prison studio power up.
