On this episode we get into some new music from DMX (1:41). We dig deep into the album going track by track and discussing the raw emotion as well as the wave of emotion shown in the album from start to finish. There were a ton of features including a huge shock with Bono appearing on the album. Next we get into the impact of emotions on artists (23:23). We discuss if music is better when artists are broke or in a bad mental space vs when they are up and/or in love. Raymond and Robyn have a heated discussion about celebrity requirements to make themselves available to their fans (25:18). Raymond argues that happy music isn't as appealing and when artists lose the hunger the music suffers (48:50). The couple get's into the recent Swizz Beatz vs Timbaland Verzuz (1:00:00). They dig deep into the Justin Timberlake drama and whether Justin Timberlake owes the black community to do Verzuz if he has been invited. The couple details who should be on Verzuz and why they have been selecting the artists they have selected (1:10:13). Towards the end of the episode the couple has a crazy discussion about do you separate the Artist from the art they create (1:15:00)! We get the premiere of the Podcasts Outro!
