7/16/25 8AM: Does Rap Beef Help or Hurt The Culture? Pt2

Hour two continues on with Carrie & Ben unpacking the Nicki Minaj & SZA beef, along with others in the past and present we see that have affected the culture. The duo questions the need for the back and forth online and how beef may stem from artists seeing one another as threats in the game with regard to status and fanfare. Callers join on the conversation speaking to the forms of hip hop and how issues can be handled in the studio or in the streets sadly at times, along with Carrie & Ben picking an artist of this generation Nicki should focus her energy on in a rap beef. As the conversation furthers callers speak on what the rules of engagement are for beef, along with how sensitive generations today have become, leading to lines being crossed and how soon is too soon for the new generation to go at some of the legends of old. Listeners also get on Ben for his hilariously bad take that Beyonce is the only woman fit to beef with Nicki Minaj.
