In this episode, we dive into a surprising moment in music history: a week on the Billboard Top 40 with zero hip-hop songs. What does it say about the current state of the genre? Is this a temporary dip, a sign of shifting listener habits, or evidence of a deeper transformation happening within hip-hop itself?
From there, we pivot into a rich conversation about the enduring legacy of D’Angelo—the quiet revolutionary who reshaped neo-soul, redefined artistic mystique, and influenced an entire generation of musicians. We explore his impact on R&B, the cultural weight of Voodoo and Black Messiah, and why his absence still feels profound.Tune in for a thoughtful breakdown of the charts, the culture, and the artists who shape the soundscape of today.
