Under a minute. That's how long Kanye West held Taylor Swift's microphone at the 2009 VMAs. We've been talking about it ever since.

In Volume 6 of History Was Ghetto, John Cash goes back to September 13, 2009 and follows one stage interruption through everything it set off: Beyoncé stuck in the middle of a fight she didn't start, a reported "jackass" from the President of the United States, an apology tour, the 2016 "Famous" feud, the snake emoji pile-on, and a leaked phone call that turned fans into amateur investigators.

Along the way, John makes the case that this moment was an early look at how modern fandom works: sides, receipts, and public humiliation with an audience. He also imagines how fast the internet would have buried Kanye if it happened today. The episode ends with the show's scorecard.

Justin Bieber has had eight No. 1 albums, eight No. 1 singles, and three completely different careers. But only one song is his signature.

On Cash The Record Vol. 9, John Cash puts seven of Bieber's biggest records on trial: One Time, Baby, Where Are Ü Now, Sorry, Love Yourself, Despacito (Remix), and Peaches. From YouTube kid to the most-mocked teenager on Earth, to the Purpose comeback, to headlining Coachella, every song faces the same five questions until one is left standing.
