Did #Iceman clear up the songwriting rumors with these new projects? @nytimes didn’t want to get in rap folks’ business by naming Drake to the 30 Greatest list.

New episode with @cavwins drops this weekend
Where’s Ja Rule? Sometimes, in times of global crisis, we need a sound, intelligent, reasonable voice to cut through the noisy debates.
Enter Ja Rule. Or Dave Chappelle. Or any celebrity really.
On Smart Dumb Negus Episode 5, @cavwins and Andrew Ricketts talk through the celebrity moral dilemma of Dave Chappelle, the George Floyd and Charlie Kirk meme epidemic, and the usefulness of Chinamaxxxing. New pod drops at 8P ET at the Cav YouTube. #linkinbio

Sometimes you laugh first… then realize why it’s funny later.
Episode 1 of Smart Dumb Negus — a podcast with Andrew Charles Ricketts — gets into it. From the absurd to the real, touching on everything from Afroman’s situation to what’s underneath the conversation around Jack Harlow and the moment we’re in.
There’s humor in it… but there’s also history in it. And sometimes those two sit closer together than we like to admit.
Catch the premiere of Episode 1 on YouTube today at 5PM EST.
If this clip found you, sit with the full episode when you get a chance.
