Hello, everyone. This is Glenn with another retro episode, taking a look back at major moments, milestones, and events from back in the day, eighties, nineties, and even the beginning of the 21st century. So right now, at this moment, the biggest news and music is the rivalry between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, both superstar rappers. Kendrick Lamar, the first rapper ever, in fact, the only rapper to have a Pulitzer prize

And even at that age, I. You know, I was like, this is incredibly wrong. You know, it was just incredibly wrong and incredibly sad. Very tragic, because rapping is an art, and it turned into, like you said, a geographical battle. You know, a battle of geography, you know, east versus west and such. And it didn't need to be that way

And even people who weren't directly connected to the situation, but they were. I remember reading the article, hearing stories about music executives who perhaps did business on both coasts, who were mindful, extra cautious about the places they went to to hang out or to do business because they were worried that they might get caught up in some sort of retaliation for something. So it's a very interesting and intense time. And so. But thank you so much for listening, for sharing your thoughts

So when the rivalry is compared to the, like, you know, Kendrick Lamar and Drake, I mean, there's so many rap beefs going on now. It's just like, to me, it's like it's not the same in the nineties. You know, we navigated and moved a lot differently than we do now. I don't see death coming between Kendrick and Drake. I don't see that

But as in related, as we're sort of talking about what's happening now with Drake and Kendrick Lamar, it seems unlikely he's gonna elevate to something like that. I think because we're living in different times, it's so much. There's a lot. There's a lot at risk, money wise, career wise
